4
5 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
8 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
9 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
10 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
11
12 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_PARTSIGN. When this flag is set
13 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
14 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
15 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
16 [Steve Henson]
17
18 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
19 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
20 to do it.
21 [Richard Levitte]
22
23 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
24 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
25 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
26 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
27 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
28 scalar * generator).
29 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
30
31 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
32 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
33 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
34 correctly.
35 [Steve Henson]
36
37 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
38 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
39 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
40 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
41 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
42 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
43 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
44 linker additions, eg;
45 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
46 [Geoff Thorpe]
47
48 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
49 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
50 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
51 [Geoff Thorpe]
52
53 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
54 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
55 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
56 via PR#459)
57 [Lutz Jaenicke]
58
59 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
60 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
61 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
62 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
63 [Geoff Thorpe]
64
65 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
66 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
67 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
68 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
69 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
70 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
71 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
72 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
73 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
74 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
75
76 Example for using the new callback interface:
77
78 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
79 void *my_arg = ...;
80 BN_GENCB my_cb;
81
82 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
83
84 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
85 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
86 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
87 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
88 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
89 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
90 */
91
92 [Geoff Thorpe]
93
94 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
95 available to TLS with the number defined in
96 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
97 [Richard Levitte]
98
99 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
100 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
101
102 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
103 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
104 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
105 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
106
107 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
108 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
109
110 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
111 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
112 well.
113 [Richard Levitte]
114
115 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
116 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
117 [Richard Levitte]
118
119 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
120 functions
121
122 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
123 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
124
125 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
126 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
127
128 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
129 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
130 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
131 if applicable.
132 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
133
134 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
135 [Bodo Moeller]
136
137 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
138 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
139 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
140 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
141 directory engines/.
142 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
143 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
144 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
145 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
146 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
147 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
148 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
149 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
150
151 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
152 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
153 [Richard Levitte]
154
155 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
156 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
157
158 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
159 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
160 files while avoiding the low level API.
161
162 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
163 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
164 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
165 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
166
167 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
168 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
169 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
170 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
171 instead of the low level API.
172 [Steve Henson]
173
174 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
175 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
176 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
177 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
178 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
179 PKCS#7 code.
180
181 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
182 down to the template encoder.
183 [Steve Henson]
184
185 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
186 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
187 [Bodo Moeller]
188
189 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
190 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
191 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
192 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
193
194 *) Add ECDH engine support.
195 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
196
197 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
198 TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash)
199 TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary
200 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
201
202 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
203 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
204 [Bodo Moeller]
205
206 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
207 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
208 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
209 [Bodo Moeller]
210
211 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
212 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
213
214 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
215 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
216
217 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
218 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
219 New EC_METHOD:
220
221 EC_GF2m_simple_method
222
223 New API functions:
224
225 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
226 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
227 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
228 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
229 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
230 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
231
232 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
233 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
234 enable it).
235
236 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
237 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
238 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
239 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
240 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
241 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
242 various internal method names.)
243
244 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
245 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
246
247 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
248 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
249
250 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
251 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
252
253 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
254 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
255 methods are undefined.
256
257 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
258 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
259
260 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
261 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
262 length of the modulus.
263
264 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
265 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
266
267 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
268 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
269
270 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
271 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
272
273 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
274 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
275 used) in the following functions [macros]:
276
277 BN_GF2m_add
278 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
279 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
280 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
281 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
282 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
283 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
284 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
285 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
286 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
287
288 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
289 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
290
291 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
292 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
293 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
294 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
295 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
296 where
297 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
298 This applies to the following functions:
299
300 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
301 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
302 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
303 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
304 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
305 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
306 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
307 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
308 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
309 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
310
311 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
312
313 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
314 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
315
316 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
317
318 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
319 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
320 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
321 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
322 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
323
324 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
325 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
326
327 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
328 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
329 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
330
331 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
332 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
333
334 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
335 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
336 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
337 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
338 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
339
340 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
341 functions
342 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
343 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
344 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
345 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
346 These control ASN1 encoding details:
347 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
348 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
349 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
350 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
351 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
352 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
353 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
354
355 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
356 functions
357 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
358 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
359 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
360 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
361 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
362
363 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
364 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
365 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
366 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
367
368 *) Add functions
369 EC_POINT_point2bn()
370 EC_POINT_bn2point()
371 EC_POINT_point2hex()
372 EC_POINT_hex2point()
373 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
374 EC_POINT_oct2point().
375 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
376
377 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
378 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
379 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
380 EC_GROUP_get_order()
381 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
382 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
383 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
384 adding different types of curves.
385 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
386
387 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
388 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
389 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
390 [Bodo Moeller]
391
392 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
393 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
394
395 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
396 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
397 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
398 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
399
400 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
401
402 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
403 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
404
405 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
406 library. Most notably,
407 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
408 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
409 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
410 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
411 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
412 extracted before the specific public key;
413 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
414 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
415
416 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
417 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
418 function
419 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
420 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
421 EC_get_builtin_curves().
422 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
423 accessed via
424 EC_GROUP_set_nid()
425 EC_GROUP_get_nid()
426 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
427
428 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
429 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
430 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
431 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
432 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
433 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
434 differing sizes.
435 [Richard Levitte]
436
437 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [XX xxx 2003]
438
439 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
440 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
441 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
442 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
443 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
444
445 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
446 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
447 used by default when no-err is given.
448 [Richard Levitte]
449
450 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
451 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
452
453 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
454 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
455 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
456 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
457 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
458
459 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
460 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
461 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
462 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
463
464 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
465
466 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
467
468 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
469
470 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
471 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
472 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
473 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
474 root is omitted).
475 [Steve Henson]
476
477 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
478 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
479
480 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
481 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
482 [Steve Henson]
483
484 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
485 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
486 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
487 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
488 [Lutz Jaenicke]
489
490 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
491 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
492 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
493 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
494 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
495 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
496 followup to PR #377.
497 [Lutz Jaenicke]
498
499 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
500 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
501 [Andy Polyakov]
502
503 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
504 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
505 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
506 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
507
508 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
509
510 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
511 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
512 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
513 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
514 client and server.
515 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
516 PR #377.
517 [Lutz Jaenicke]
518
519 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
520 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
521 removed entirely.
522 [Richard Levitte]
523
524 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
525 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
526 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
527 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
528 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
529 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
530 of libcrypto.
531 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
532 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
533 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
534 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
535 have to be made anyway).
536 [Richard Levitte]
537
538 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
539 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
540 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
541 [Steve Henson]
542
543 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
544 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
545 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
546 [Richard Levitte]
547
548 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
549 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
550 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
551
552 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
553 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
554 edit numbers of the version.
555 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
556
557 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
558 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
559 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
560
561 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
562 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
563
564 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
565 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
566 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
567
568 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
569 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
570
571 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
572 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
573
574 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
575 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
576
577 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
578 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
579
580 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
581 overflows.
582 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
583
584 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
585 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
586 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
587
588 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
589 representations in a platform independent manner.
590 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
591
592 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
593 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
594 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
595
596 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
597 indents.
598 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
599
600 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
601 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
602
603 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
604 full. Fixed.
605 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
606
607 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
608 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
609 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
610
611 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
612 unconditionally).
613 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
614
615 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
616 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
617
618 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
619 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
620
621 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
622 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
623
624 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
625 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
626
627 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
628 CBCParameter.
629 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
630
631 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
632 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
633
634 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
635 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
636
637 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
638 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
639 exploitable.
640 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
641
642 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
643 the 0.9.6 release series:
644
645 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
646 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
647 (CAN-2002-0657)
648 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
649
650 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
651 [Richard Levitte]
652
653 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
654 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
655
656 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
657 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
658
659 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
660 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
661 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
662 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
663
664 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
665 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
666 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
667
668 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
669 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
670 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
671 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
672
673 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
674 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
675 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
676 some local tweaks:
677
678 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
679 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
680 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
681 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
682 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
683 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
684 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
685 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
686 done
687
688 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
689 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
690 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
691 [Richard Levitte]
692
693 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
694 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
695 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
696 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
697 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
698
699 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
700 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
701
702 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
703 error in AES-CFB decryption.
704 [Richard Levitte]
705
706 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
707 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
708 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
709 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
710 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
711 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
712 [Steve Henson]
713
714 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
715 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
716 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
717 [Steve Henson]
718
719 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
720 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
721 [Lutz Jaenicke]
722
723 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
724 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
725 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
726 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
727 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
728 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
729 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
730 [Lutz Jaenicke]
731
732 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
733 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
734 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
735 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
736 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
737 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
738 [Steve Henson]
739
740 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
741 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
742 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
743 declaration has been changed from
744 int (*cb)()
745 into
746 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
747 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
748 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
749 has been changed into
750 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
751
752 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
753 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
754 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
755
756 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
757 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
758
759 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
760 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
761 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
762 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
763 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
764 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
765 always load it have also been added.
766 [Steve Henson]
767
768 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
769 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
770 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
771
772 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
773
774 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
775 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
776 because it couldn't be used for anything.
777
778 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
779 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
780 command line option can be used to specify an
781 alternative file.
782 [Steve Henson]
783
784 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
785 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
786 [Steve Henson]
787
788 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
789 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
790 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
791 [Steve Henson]
792
793 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
794 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
795 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
796 to work with the new engine framework.
797 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
798
799 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
800 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
801 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
802 to work with the new engine framework.
803 [Richard Levitte]
804
805 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
806 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
807 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
808
809 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
810 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
811
812 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
813 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
814 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
815 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
816 FORMAT_IISSGC.
817 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
818
819 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
820 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
821
822 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
823 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
824
825 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
826 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
827 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
828 [Ben Laurie]
829
830 *) Add new functions
831 ERR_peek_last_error
832 ERR_peek_last_error_line
833 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
834 These are similar to
835 ERR_peek_error
836 ERR_peek_error_line
837 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
838 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
839 still in the error queue.
840 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
841
842 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
843 like:
844 default_algorithms = ALL
845 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
846 [Steve Henson]
847
848 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
849 [Steve Henson]
850
851 *) New experimental application configuration code.
852 [Steve Henson]
853
854 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
855 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
856 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
857 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
858
859 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
860 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
861
862 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
863 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
864
865 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
866 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
867 [Bodo Moeller]
868
869 *) New functions/macros
870
871 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
872 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
873 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
874 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
875
876 to request calling a callback function
877
878 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
879 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
880
881 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
882 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
883 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
884 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
885 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
886 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
887 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
888 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
889 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
890 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
891
892 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
893 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
894 [Bodo Moeller]
895
896 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
897 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
898 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
899 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
900 the configuration scripts.
901
902 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
903 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
904 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
905
906 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
907 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
908
909 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
910 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
911 when reusing an existing buffer.
912 [Bodo Moeller]
913
914 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
915 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
916 [Steve Henson]
917
918 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
919 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
920 [Ben Laurie]
921
922 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
923 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
924 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
925 has the same effect.
926 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
927
928 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
929 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
930 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
931 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
932 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
933 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
934 exception.
935
936 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
937 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
938 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
939 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
940
941 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
942 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
943 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
944 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
945
946 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
947 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
948 won't work.
949
950 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
951 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
952 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
953 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
954 default), and then completely removed.
955 [Richard Levitte]
956
957 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
958 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
959 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
960 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
961 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
962 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
963 particular extension is supported.
964 [Steve Henson]
965
966 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
967 to retain compatibility with existing code.
968 [Steve Henson]
969
970 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
971 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
972 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
973 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
974 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
975 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
976 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
977 requires the destination to be valid.
978
979 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
980 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
981 [Steve Henson]
982
983 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
984 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
985 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
986 [Bodo Moeller]
987
988 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
989 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
990
991 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
992 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
993 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
994 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
995 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
996 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
997 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
998 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
999 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1000 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1001 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1002 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1003 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1004 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1005 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1006 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1007 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1008 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1009 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1010 the new code.
1011 [Geoff Thorpe]
1012
1013 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1014 [Steve Henson]
1015
1016 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1017 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1018 become part of libeay.num as well.
1019 [Richard Levitte]
1020
1021 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1022 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1023 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1024 false once a handshake has been completed.
1025 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1026 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1027 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1028 client has followed the request.)
1029 [Bodo Moeller]
1030
1031 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1032 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1033 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1034 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1035
1036 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1037 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1038 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1039 [Bodo Moeller]
1040
1041 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1042 [Steve Henson]
1043
1044 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1045 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1046 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1047 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1048
1049 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1050 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1051 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1052
1053 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1054 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1055 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1056 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1057 [Geoff Thorpe]
1058
1059 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1060 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1061 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1062 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1063 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1064 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1065 [Geoff Thorpe]
1066
1067 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1068 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1069 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1070 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1071 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1072 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1073 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1074 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1075 [Geoff Thorpe]
1076
1077 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1078 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1079 [Geoff Thorpe]
1080
1081 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1082 [Ben Laurie]
1083
1084 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1085 md_data void pointer.
1086 [Ben Laurie]
1087
1088 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1089 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1090 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1091 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1092 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1093 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1094 [Ben Laurie]
1095
1096 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1097 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1098 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1099 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1100 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1101 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1102 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1103 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1104 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1105 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1106 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1107 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1108 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1109 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1110 rather than letting it slide.
1111
1112 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1113 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1114 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1115 [Geoff Thorpe]
1116
1117 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1118 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1119 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1120 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1121 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1122 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1123 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1124 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1125 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1126 [Geoff Thorpe]
1127
1128 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1129 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1130 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1131 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1132 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1133
1134 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1135 [Geoff Thorpe]
1136
1137 *) Add EVP test program.
1138 [Ben Laurie]
1139
1140 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1141 [Ben Laurie]
1142
1143 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1144 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1145 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1146 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1147 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1148 [Steve Henson]
1149
1150 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1151 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1152 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1153 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1154 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1155 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1156 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1157
1158 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1159 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1160 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1161 Usage example:
1162
1163 EVP_MD_CTX md;
1164
1165 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1166 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1167 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1168 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1169 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1170
1171 [Ben Laurie]
1172
1173 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1174 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1175 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1176 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1177 anyway): E.g.,
1178
1179 des_key_schedule ks;
1180
1181 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1182 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1183
1184 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1185 [Ben Laurie]
1186
1187 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1188 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1189 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1190 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1191 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1192 functions prevents this.
1193 [Steve Henson]
1194
1195 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1196 [Ben Laurie]
1197
1198 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1199 correct _ecb suffix.
1200 [Ben Laurie]
1201
1202 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1203 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1204 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1205 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1206 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1207 [Steve Henson]
1208
1209 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1210 [Richard Levitte]
1211
1212 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1213 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1214 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1215 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1216
1217 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1218 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1219
1220 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1221 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1222 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1223 via Richard Levitte]
1224
1225 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1226 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1227 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1228 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1229 [Geoff Thorpe]
1230
1231 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1232 Before:
1233 encrypt
1234 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
1235 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
1236 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
1237 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
1238 decrypt
1239 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
1240 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
1241 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
1242 After:
1243 encrypt
1244 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
1245 decrypt
1246 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
1247 [Ben Laurie]
1248
1249 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1250 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1251
1252 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1253 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1254 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1255 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1256 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1257 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1258 [Steve Henson]
1259
1260 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1261 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1262 [Richard Levitte]
1263
1264 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1265 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1266 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1267 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1268
1269 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1270 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1271 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1272 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1273 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1274 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1275 callback.
1276 [Richard Levitte]
1277
1278 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1279 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1280 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1281 and interrupts/cancellations.
1282 [Richard Levitte]
1283
1284 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1285 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1286 [Steve Henson]
1287
1288 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1289 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1290 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1291
1292 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1293 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1294 kind of callback.
1295 [Richard Levitte]
1296
1297 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1298 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1299 than this minimum value is recommended.
1300 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1301
1302 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1303 that are easily reachable.
1304 [Richard Levitte]
1305
1306 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1307 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1308
1309 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1310
1311 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1312 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1313 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1314 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1315 [Steve Henson]
1316
1317 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1318 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1319 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1320 [Steve Henson]
1321
1322 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1323 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1324 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1325 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1326 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1327 internally such as S/MIME.
1328
1329 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1330 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1331 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1332
1333 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1334 applications.
1335 [Steve Henson]
1336
1337 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1338 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1339 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1340 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1341
1342 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1343
1344 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1345
1346 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1347 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1348 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1349 handling.
1350 [Steve Henson]
1351
1352 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1353 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1354 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1355 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1356 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1357 a window system and the like.
1358 [Richard Levitte]
1359
1360 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1361 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1362 [Geoff]
1363
1364 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1365 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1366 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1367 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1368 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1369 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1370 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1371 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1372 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1373 ENGINE structure.
1374 [Geoff]
1375
1376 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1377 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1378 tag cache.
1379 [Steve Henson]
1380
1381 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1382 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1383 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1384 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1385 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1386 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1387 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1388 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1389 [Geoff]
1390
1391 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1392 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1393 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1394 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1395 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1396 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1397 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1398 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1399 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1400 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1401 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1402 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1403 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1404 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1405 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1406 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1407 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1408 [Geoff]
1409
1410 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1411 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1412 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1413 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1414 internal engine_int.h header.
1415 [Geoff]
1416
1417 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1418 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1419 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1420 modify their own ones).
1421 [Geoff]
1422
1423 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1424 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1425 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1426 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1427 later on via ctrl() commands.
1428 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1429 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1430 structural references.
1431 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1432 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1433 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1434 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1435 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1436 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1437 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1438 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1439 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1440 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1441 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1442 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1443 [Geoff]
1444
1445 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1446 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1447 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1448 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1449 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1450 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1451 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1452 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1453 [Bodo Moeller]
1454
1455 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1456 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1457 [Steve Henson]
1458
1459 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1460 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1461 [Steve Henson]
1462
1463 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1464 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1465 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1466 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1467 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1468 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1469 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1470 [Steve Henson]
1471
1472 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1473 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1474 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1475 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1476 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1477
1478 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1479 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1480 generator).
1481 [Bodo Moeller]
1482
1483 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1484
1485 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1486 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1487 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1488
1489 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1490 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1491
1492 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1493 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1494 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1495
1496 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1497 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1498
1499 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1500 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1501
1502 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1503
1504 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1505 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1506 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1507 [Bodo Moeller]
1508
1509 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1510 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1511 [Richard Levitte]
1512
1513 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1514 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1515 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1516 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1517 is 40 of more characters long.
1518 [Steve Henson]
1519
1520 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1521 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1522 pointers.
1523 [Steve Henson]
1524
1525 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1526 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1527 [Bodo Moeller]
1528
1529 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1530 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1531 might.
1532 [Steve Henson]
1533
1534 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1535
1536 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1537 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1538
1539 ASN1 error codes
1540 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1541 ...
1542 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1543 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1544 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1545 ...
1546 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1547 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1548
1549 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1550 [Bodo Moeller]
1551
1552 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1553 suffices.
1554 [Bodo Moeller]
1555
1556 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1557 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1558 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1559 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1560 and
1561 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1562
1563 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1564 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1565
1566 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1567 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1568 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1569 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1570 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1571 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1572
1573 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1574 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1575
1576 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1577 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1578
1579 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1580 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1581
1582 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1583 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1584 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1585 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1586
1587 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1588 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1589
1590 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1591 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1592
1593 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1594 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1595 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1596 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1597 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1598 [Richard Levitte]
1599
1600 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1601 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1602 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1603 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1604 [Steve Henson]
1605
1606 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1607 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1608 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1609 trust settings.
1610 [Steve Henson]
1611
1612 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1613 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1614 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1615 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1616 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1617 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1618 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1619 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1620 ocsp utility.
1621 [Steve Henson]
1622
1623 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1624 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1625 [Steve Henson]
1626
1627 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1628 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1629 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1630 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1631 [Steve Henson]
1632
1633 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1634 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1635 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1636 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1637 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1638 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1639 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1640 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1641 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1642 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1643 [Steve Henson]
1644
1645 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1646 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1647 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1648 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1649 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1650 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1651 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1652 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1653
1654 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1655 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1656 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1657 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1658 [Richard Levitte]
1659
1660 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1661 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1662 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1663 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1664 opensslconf.h.
1665 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1666 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1667 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1668 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1669 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1670 what is available.
1671 [Richard Levitte]
1672
1673 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1674 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1675 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1676 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1677 auto incremented.
1678 [Steve Henson]
1679
1680 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1681 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1682 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1683 [Steve Henson]
1684
1685 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1686 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1687 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1688 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1689 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1690 [Steve Henson]
1691
1692 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1693 [Steve Henson]
1694
1695 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1696 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1697 option to ocsp utility.
1698 [Steve Henson]
1699
1700 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1701 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1702 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1703 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1704 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1705 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1706 the request is nonce-less.
1707 [Steve Henson]
1708
1709 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1710 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1711 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1712 [Bodo Moeller]
1713
1714 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1715 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1716 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1717 [Steve Henson]
1718
1719 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1720 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1721 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1722 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1723 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1724 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1725
1726 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1727 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1728 appear to exist.
1729 [Steve Henson]
1730
1731 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1732 additional certificates supplied.
1733 [Steve Henson]
1734
1735 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1736 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1737 signature against.
1738 [Richard Levitte]
1739
1740 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1741 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1742 AES OIDs.
1743
1744 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1745 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1746 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1747 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1748 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1749 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1750 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1751 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1752 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1753
1754 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1755 request to response.
1756 [Steve Henson]
1757
1758 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1759 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1760 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1761 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1762 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1763 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1764 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1765 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1766 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1767 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1768 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1769 [Steve Henson]
1770
1771 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1772 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1773 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1774 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1775 [Steve Henson]
1776
1777 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1778 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1779
1780 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1781 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1782 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1783 [Steve Henson]
1784
1785 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1786 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1787 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1788 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1789 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1790
1791 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1792 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1793 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1794 [Steve Henson]
1795
1796 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1797 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1798 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1799 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1800 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1801 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1802 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1803 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1804
1805 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1806 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1807 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1808 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1809 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1810 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1811 [Steve Henson]
1812
1813 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1814 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1815 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1816 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1817 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1818 printout format cleaned up.
1819 [Steve Henson]
1820
1821 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1822 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1823 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1824 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1825 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1826 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1827 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1828 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1829 [Steve Henson]
1830
1831 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1832 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1833 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1834 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1835 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1836 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1837 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1838 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1839 [Steve Henson]
1840
1841 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1842 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1843 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1844 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1845 section to use.
1846 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1847
1848 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1849 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1850 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1851 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1852 [Steve Henson]
1853
1854 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1855 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1856 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1857 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1858 in the index file.
1859 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1860
1861 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1862 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1863 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1864 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1865
1866 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1867 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1868
1869 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1870 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1871 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1872 [Steve Henson]
1873
1874 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1875 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1876 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1877 [Bodo Moeller]
1878
1879 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1880 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1881 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1882 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1883 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1884 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1885 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1886 functions are provided:
1887
1888 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1889 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1890 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1891 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1892
1893 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1894 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1895 extended allocation function is enabled.
1896 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1897 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1898 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1899
1900 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1901 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1902 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1903 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1904 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1905 [Geoff Thorpe]
1906
1907 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1908 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1909 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1910 be queried.
1911 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1912 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1913 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1914 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1915
1916 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1917 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1918 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1919 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1920 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1921 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1922 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1923 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1924 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1925 [Richard Levitte]
1926
1927 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1928 provide utility functions which an application needing
1929 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1930 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1931 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1932
1933 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1934 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1935 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1936 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1937 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1938 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1939 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1940 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1941 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1942
1943 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1944 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1945 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1946 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1947 [Steve Henson]
1948
1949 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1950 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1951 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1952 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1953 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1954 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1955 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1956 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1957 will be added elsewhere.
1958 [Steve Henson]
1959
1960 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1961 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1962 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1963 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1964 [Steve Henson]
1965
1966 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1967 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1968 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1969 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1970 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1971 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1972 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1973 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1974 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1975 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1976 to produce the required SET OF.
1977 [Steve Henson]
1978
1979 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1980 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1981 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1982 [Richard Levitte]
1983
1984 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1985 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1986 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1987 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1988 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1989 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1990 [Steve Henson]
1991
1992 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1993 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1994 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1995 [Steve Henson]
1996
1997 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1998 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1999 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2000 [Richard Levitte]
2001
2002 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2003 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2004 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2005 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2006 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2007 [Steve Henson]
2008
2009 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2010 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2011 [Steve Henson]
2012
2013 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2014 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2015 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2016 certifcates and CRLs.
2017 [Steve Henson]
2018
2019 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2020 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2021 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2022 [Steve Henson]
2023
2024 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2025 entries for variables.
2026 [Steve Henson]
2027
2028 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2029 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2030 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2031 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2032 [Bodo Moeller]
2033
2034 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2035 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2036 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2037 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2038 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2039 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2040 [Bodo Moeller]
2041
2042 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2043 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2044
2045 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2046 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2047 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2048 [Steve Henson]
2049
2050 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2051 print routines.
2052 [Steve Henson]
2053
2054 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2055 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2056 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2057 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2058 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2059 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2060 [Steve Henson]
2061
2062 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2063 [Steve Henson]
2064
2065 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2066 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2067 for now but they will eventually go away.
2068 [Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2071 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2072 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2073 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2074 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2075 has also been converted to the new form.
2076 [Steve Henson]
2077
2078 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2079 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2080 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2081 for negative moduli.
2082 [Bodo Moeller]
2083
2084 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2085 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2086 [Bodo Moeller]
2087
2088 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2089 set.
2090 [Bodo Moeller]
2091
2092 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2093 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2094 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2095 type-specific callbacks.
2096 [Geoff Thorpe]
2097
2098 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2099 RFC 2712.
2100 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2101 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2102
2103 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2104 in sections depending on the subject.
2105 [Richard Levitte]
2106
2107 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2108 Windows.
2109 [Richard Levitte]
2110
2111 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2112 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2113 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2114 be handled deterministically).
2115 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2116
2117 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2118 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2119 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2120 [Bodo Moeller]
2121
2122 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2123 [Bodo Moeller]
2124
2125 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2126 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2127 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2128 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2129 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2130 [Bodo Moeller]
2131
2132 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2133 sign of the number in question.
2134
2135 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2136
2137 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2138 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2139 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2140 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2141 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2142 [Bodo Moeller]
2143
2144 *) New function BN_swap.
2145 [Bodo Moeller]
2146
2147 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2148 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2149 results on negative inputs.
2150 [Bodo Moeller]
2151
2152 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2153 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2154 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2155 [Bodo Moeller]
2156
2157 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2158 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2159 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2160 and add new functions:
2161
2162 BN_nnmod
2163 BN_mod_sqr
2164 BN_mod_add
2165 BN_mod_add_quick
2166 BN_mod_sub
2167 BN_mod_sub_quick
2168 BN_mod_lshift1
2169 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2170 BN_mod_lshift
2171 BN_mod_lshift_quick
2172
2173 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2174
2175 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2176 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2177
2178 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2179 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2180 be reduced modulo m.
2181 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2182
2183 #if 0
2184 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2185 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2186 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2187
2188 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2189 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2190 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2191 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2192 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2193 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2194 differing sizes.
2195 [Richard Levitte]
2196 #endif
2197
2198 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2199 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2200 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2201 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2202 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2203
2204 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2205 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2206 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2207 cause any problems.
2208 [Bodo Moeller]
2209
2210 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2211 [Richard Levitte]
2212
2213 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2214 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2215 [Richard Levitte]
2216
2217 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2218 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2219 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2220 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2221 time)
2222 [Richard Levitte]
2223
2224 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2225 [Richard Levitte]
2226
2227 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2228 [Richard Levitte]
2229
2230 *) Add the following functions:
2231
2232 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2233 ENGINE_load_chil()
2234 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2235 ENGINE_load_nuron()
2236 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2237
2238 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2239 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2240 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2241 libraries unless it's really needed.
2242
2243 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2244 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2245 declarations (they differed!).
2246 [Richard Levitte]
2247
2248 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2249 [Richard Levitte]
2250
2251 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2252 [Richard Levitte]
2253
2254 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2255 [Bodo Moeller]
2256
2257 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2258 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2259 [Richard Levitte]
2260
2261 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2262 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2263 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2264
2265 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2266 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2267 [Richard Levitte]
2268
2269 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2270 [Richard Levitte]
2271
2272 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2273 [Richard Levitte]
2274
2275 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2276 [Ben Laurie]
2277
2278 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2279 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2280 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2281
2282 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2283 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2284 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2285 different shared library filenames on each system.
2286 [Geoff Thorpe]
2287
2288 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2289 [Richard Levitte]
2290
2291 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2292 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2293 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2294 of two sections.
2295 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2296
2297 *) NCONF changes.
2298 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2299 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2300 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2301 binary backward compatibility.
2302 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2303 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2304 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2305 LDAP server.
2306 [Richard Levitte]
2307
2308 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2309 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2310 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2311 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2312 this case.
2313 [Steve Henson]
2314
2315 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2316 [Ben Laurie]
2317
2318 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2319 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2320 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2321 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2322 set.
2323 [Steve Henson]
2324
2325 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2326 [Richard Levitte]
2327
2328 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2329
2330 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2331 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2332 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2333 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2334 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2335 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2336 [Geoff Thorpe]
2337
2338 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2339 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2340 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2341 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2342 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2343 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2344
2345 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2346 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2347 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2348
2349 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2350 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2351 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2352 EVP_cleanup().
2353 [Richard Levitte]
2354
2355 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2356 being properly terminated.
2357 [Richard Levitte]
2358
2359 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2360 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2361 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2362 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2363
2364 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2365 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2366 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2367 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2368 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2369 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2370 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2371 change.
2372 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2373
2374 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2375 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2376 [Bodo Moeller]
2377
2378 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2379 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2380 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2381 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2382 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2383 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2384 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2385 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2386
2387 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2388 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2389 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2390 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2391 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2392
2393 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2394 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2398
2399 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2400 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2401 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2402
2403 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2404
2405 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2406 and get fix the header length calculation.
2407 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2408 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2409 Steve Henson]
2410
2411 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2412 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2413 assertions could call abort()).
2414 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2415
2416 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2417
2418 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2419 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2420 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2421 supplied buffer.
2422 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2423
2424 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2425 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2426 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2427 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2428
2429 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2430 [Nils Larsch]
2431
2432 *) New option
2433 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2434 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2435 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2436
2437 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2438 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2439 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2440 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2441 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2442 applications.
2443 [Bodo Moeller]
2444
2445 *) Changes in security patch:
2446
2447 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2448 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2449 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2450 F30602-01-2-0537.
2451
2452 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2453 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2454 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2455 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2456 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2457
2458 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2459 happen in practice.
2460 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2461
2462 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2463 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2464 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2465
2466 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2467 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2468 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2469
2470 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2471 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2472 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2473
2474 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2475
2476 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2477 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2478 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2479
2480 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2481 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2482
2483 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2484 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2485 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2486 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2487 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2488 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2489 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2490
2491 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2492 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2493 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2494 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2495 [Bodo Moeller]
2496
2497 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2498 [Bodo Moeller]
2499
2500 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2501 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2502 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2503 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2504 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2505 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2506
2507 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2508 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2509 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2510 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2511 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2512 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2513
2514 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2515 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2516 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2517 BN_generate_prime().)
2518
2519 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2520 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2521 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2522 better.
2523 [Bodo Moeller]
2524
2525 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2526 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2527 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2528
2529 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2530 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2531 when using non-blocking I/O.
2532 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2533
2534 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2535 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2536
2537 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2538 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2539 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2540
2541 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2542 configuration for the versions before that.
2543 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2544
2545 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2546 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2547 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2548 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2549 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2550
2551 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2552 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2553 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2554 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2555
2556 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2557 value is 0.
2558 [Richard Levitte]
2559
2560 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2561 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2562 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2563
2564 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2565 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2566
2567 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2568 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2569 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2570 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2571 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2572 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2573 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2574 session cache.
2575
2576 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2577 using a local variable.
2578 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2579
2580 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2581 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2582 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2583
2584 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2585 [Richard Levitte]
2586
2587 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2588 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2589
2590 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2591 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2592 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2593
2594 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2595
2596 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2597 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2598 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2599 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2600 [Bodo Moeller]
2601
2602 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2603 present.
2604 [Steve Henson]
2605
2606 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2607 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2608 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2609 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2610 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2611
2612 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2613 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2614 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2615
2616 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2617 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2618 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2619
2620 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2621 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2622 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2623 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2624
2625 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2626 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2627 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2628 modules).
2629 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2630
2631 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2632 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2633 from 0.9.7.
2634 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2635
2636 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2637 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2638 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2639 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2640
2641 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2642 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2643 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2644 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2645
2646 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2647 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2648
2649 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2650 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2651 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2652 [Bodo Moeller]
2653
2654 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2655 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2656 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2657 become invalid.
2658 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2659
2660 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2661 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2662 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2663 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2664 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2665 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2666 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2667 [Bodo Moeller]
2668
2669 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2670 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2671 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2672 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2673
2674 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2675 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2676 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2677 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2678 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2679 the client will at least see that alert.
2680 [Bodo Moeller]
2681
2682 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2683 correctly.
2684 [Bodo Moeller]
2685
2686 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2687 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2688 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2689
2690 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2691 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2692 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2693 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2694 HelloRequest.
2695
2696 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2697 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2698 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2699
2700 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2701 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2702 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2703 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2704 may leak via logfiles.)
2705
2706 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2707 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2708 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2709 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2710 the legal range.
2711 [Bodo Moeller]
2712
2713 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2714 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2715 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2716
2717 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2718 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2719 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2720 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2721 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2722 [Bodo Moeller]
2723
2724 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2725 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2726
2727 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2728 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2729 followed by modular reduction.
2730 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2731
2732 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2733 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2734 [Bodo Moeller]
2735
2736 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2737 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2738 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2739 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2740 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2741
2742 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2743 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2744
2745 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2746 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2747 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2748
2749 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2750 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2751 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2752 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2753 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2754 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2755 automatically.
2756 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2757
2758 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2759 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2760 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2761 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2762 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2763
2764 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2765 [Andy Polyakov]
2766
2767 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2768 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2769 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2770 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2771 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2772 to allow the necessary settings.
2773 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2774
2775 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2776 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2777 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2778 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2779 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2780
2781 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2782 dh->length and always used
2783
2784 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2785
2786 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2787 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2788 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2789 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2790 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2791 dh->length.
2792
2793 So switch back to
2794
2795 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2796
2797 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2798 otherwise.
2799 [Bodo Moeller]
2800
2801 *) In
2802
2803 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2804 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2805 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2806 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2807
2808 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2809 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2810 always reject numbers >= n.
2811 [Bodo Moeller]
2812
2813 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2814 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2815 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2816 variable) is not atomic.
2817 [Bodo Moeller]
2818
2819 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2820 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2821 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2822 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2823
2824 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2825 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2826
2827 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2828 little-endian MIPS.
2829 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2830
2831 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2832 [Richard Levitte]
2833
2834 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2835
2836 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2837 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2838 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2839 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2840 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2841 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2842 to traverse all of 'state'.
2843
2844 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2845 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2846 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2847
2848 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2849 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2850
2851 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2852 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2853 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2854 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2855 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2856 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2857 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2858 further strengthens the PRNG.
2859 [Bodo Moeller]
2860
2861 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2862 [Andy Polyakov]
2863
2864 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2865 an error message in this case.
2866 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2867
2868 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2869 [Steve Henson]
2870
2871 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2872 positive and less than q.
2873 [Bodo Moeller]
2874
2875 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2876 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2877 that itself.
2878 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2879
2880 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2881 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2882 [Bodo Moeller]
2883
2884 *) Fix OAEP check.
2885 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2886
2887 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2888 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2889 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2890 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2891 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2892 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2893 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2894 paper.)
2895
2896 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2897 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2898 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2899 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2900
2901 Both problems are now fixed.
2902 [Bodo Moeller]
2903
2904 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2905 (previously it was 1024).
2906 [Bodo Moeller]
2907
2908 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2909 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2910 [Steve Henson]
2911
2912 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2916 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2917 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2918 [Steve Henson]
2919
2920 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2921 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2922 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2923 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2924 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2925 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2926 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2927 environment variables.
2928
2929 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2930 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2931 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2932 [Bodo Moeller]
2933
2934 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2935 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2936 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2937 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2938 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2939 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2940 [Bodo Moeller]
2941
2942 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2943 versions of 'test'.
2944 [Bodo Moeller]
2945
2946 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2947
2948 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2949 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2950
2951 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2952 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2953 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2954 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2955 CygWin.
2956 [Richard Levitte]
2957
2958 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2959 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2960 amount of data available.
2961 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2962 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2963
2964 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2965 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2966 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2967 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2968 [Bodo Moeller]
2969
2970 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2971 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2972 and UnixWare.
2973 [Richard Levitte]
2974
2975 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2976 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2977 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2978 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2979 [Ulf Moeller]
2980
2981 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2982 [Andy Polyakov]
2983
2984 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2985 [Richard Levitte]
2986
2987 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2988 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2989 [Steve Henson]
2990 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2991
2992 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2993 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2994 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2995 (but broken) behaviour.
2996 [Steve Henson]
2997
2998 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2999 it when found.
3000 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3001
3002 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3003 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3004 [Bodo Moeller]
3005
3006 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3007 did not exist.
3008 [Bodo Moeller]
3009
3010 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3011 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3012
3013 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3014 [Richard Levitte]
3015
3016 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3017 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3018 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3019
3020 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3021 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3022 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3023 [Steve Henson]
3024
3025 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3026 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3027 [Ulf Moeller]
3028
3029 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3030 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3031
3032 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3033
3034 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3035
3036 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3037 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3038 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3039 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3040 [Bodo Moeller]
3041
3042 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3043 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3044
3045 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3046 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3047 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3048
3049 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3050 was empty.
3051 [Steve Henson]
3052 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3053
3054 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3055 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3056 but the code is actually correct.
3057 [Steve Henson]
3058
3059 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3060 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3061 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3062 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3063 and leaves the highest bit random.
3064 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3065
3066 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3067 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3068 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3069 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3070 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3071 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3072 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3073 [Bodo Moeller]
3074
3075 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3076 [Ulf Moeller]
3077
3078 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3079 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3083 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3084 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3085 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3086 headers.
3087 [Richard Levitte]
3088
3089 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3090 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3091 and break the signature.
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3094
3095 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3096 DH ciphersuites.
3097 [Steve Henson]
3098
3099 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3100 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3101 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3102 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3103 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3104 [Bodo Moeller]
3105
3106 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3107 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3108
3109 *) ./config script fixes.
3110 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3111
3112 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3113 [Bodo Moeller]
3114
3115 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3116 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3117 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3118 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3119 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3120
3121 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3122 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3123 [Bodo Moeller]
3124
3125 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3126 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3127 [Steve Henson]
3128
3129 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3130 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3131 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3132 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3133
3134 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3135 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3136
3137 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3138 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3139 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3140 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3141 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3142
3143 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3144 [Bodo Moeller]
3145
3146 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3147 [Ulf Möller]
3148
3149 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3150 [Ulf Möller]
3151
3152 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3153 [Bodo Moeller]
3154
3155 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3156 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3157 [Bodo Moeller]
3158
3159 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3160 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3161 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3162 result of the server certificate verification.)
3163 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3164
3165 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3166 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3167 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3168 [Bodo Moeller]
3169
3170 *) Fix SSL_peek:
3171 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3172 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3173 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3174 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3175 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3176 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3177 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3178 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3179 [Bodo Moeller]
3180
3181 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3182 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3183 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3184 happening the other way round.
3185 [Geoff Thorpe]
3186
3187 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3188 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3189 [Bodo Moeller]
3190
3191 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3192 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3193 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3194 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3195 [Richard Levitte]
3196
3197 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3198 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3199
3200 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3201
3202 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3203 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3204 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3205 that.
3206
3207 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3208
3209 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3210
3211 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3212 static ones.
3213 [Richard Levitte]
3214
3215 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3216
3217 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3218 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3219 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3220 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3221 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3222
3223 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3224 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3225 matter what.
3226 [Richard Levitte]
3227
3228 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3229 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3230
3231 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3232
3233 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3234 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3235 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3236 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3237 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3238 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3239 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3240 by the Finished messages.
3241 [Bodo Moeller]
3242
3243 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3244 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3245
3246 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3247 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3248 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3249 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3250 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3251 appropriately.
3252 [Steve Henson]
3253
3254 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3255 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3256 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3257 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3258 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3259 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3260 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3261 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3262 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3263 together.
3264 [Steve Henson]
3265
3266 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3267 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3268 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3269 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3270
3271 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3272 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3273 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3274 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3275 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3276 the answer.
3277
3278 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3279 been tested well enough.
3280 [Richard Levitte]
3281
3282 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3283 it can return incorrect results.
3284 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3285 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3286 [Bodo Moeller]
3287
3288 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3289 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3290 include zero length content when signing messages.
3291 [Steve Henson]
3292
3293 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3294 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3295 [Bodo Möller]
3296
3297 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3298 [Richard Levitte]
3299
3300 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3301 wrong sign.
3302 [Ulf Möller]
3303
3304 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3305 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3306 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3307 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3308 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3309 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3310 [Richard Levitte]
3311
3312 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3313 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3314
3315 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3316 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3317
3318 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3319 random number < q in the DSA library.
3320 [Ulf Möller]
3321
3322 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3323 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3324 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3325 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3326 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3327 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3328 just makes things more complicated.)
3329 [Bodo Moeller]
3330
3331 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3332 from EGD.
3333 [Ben Laurie]
3334
3335 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3336 work better on such systems.
3337 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3338
3339 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3340 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3341 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3342 [Steve Henson]
3343
3344 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3345 if there was more than one signature.
3346 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3347
3348 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3349 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3350 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3351 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3352 [Richard Levitte]
3353
3354 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3355 rather than always using the current time.
3356 [Steve Henson]
3357
3358 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3359 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3360 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3361 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3362 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3363 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3364
3365 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3366 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3367
3368 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3369
3370 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3371 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3372 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3373 the same hash value.
3374
3375 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3376 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3377 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3378 with X509_STORE internally.
3379
3380 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3381 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3382
3383 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3384 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3385 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3386 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3387 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3388 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3389 entirely (maybe later...).
3390
3391 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3392
3393 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3394 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3395 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3396 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3397 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3398 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3399 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3400 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3401
3402 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3403 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3404
3405 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3406 to customise the verify behaviour.
3407 [Steve Henson]
3408
3409 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3410 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3411 [Steve Henson]
3412
3413 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3414 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3415 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3416 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3417 request is improperly encoded.
3418 [Steve Henson]
3419
3420 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3421 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3422 BIO_write(b, ...).
3423
3424 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3425 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3426
3427 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3428 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3429 words set to zero.)
3430 [Bodo Moeller]
3431
3432 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3433 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3434 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3435 [Bodo Moeller]
3436
3437 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3438 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3439 BIO/fp routines also added.
3440 [Steve Henson]
3441
3442 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3443 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3444
3445 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3446 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3447 demos/state_machine.
3448 [Ben Laurie]
3449
3450 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3451 generation and verification.
3452 [Steve Henson]
3453
3454 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3455 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3456 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3457 encode and decode it manually.
3458 [Steve Henson]
3459
3460 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3461 compile under VC++.
3462 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3463
3464 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3465 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3466 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3467 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3468
3469 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3470 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3471 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3472 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3473 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3474 [Steve Henson]
3475
3476 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3477 [Richard Levitte]
3478
3479 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3480 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3481 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3482
3483 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3484 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3485 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3486 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3487 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3488 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3489 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3490 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3491
3492 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3493 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3494
3495 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3496
3497 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3498 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3499 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3500
3501 [Richard Levitte]
3502
3503 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3504 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3505 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3506 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3507 [Richard Levitte]
3508
3509 *) MD4 implemented.
3510 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3511
3512 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3513 [Richard Levitte]
3514
3515 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3516 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3517 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3518 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3519 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3520 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3521 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3522 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3523 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3524 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3525 short or long names are found.
3526 [Steve Henson]
3527
3528 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3529 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3530
3531 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3532 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3533 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3534 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3535
3536 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3537 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3538 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3539 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3540 [Bodo Moeller]
3541
3542 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3543 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3544 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3545 [Richard Levitte]
3546
3547 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3548 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3549 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3550 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3551 to allow the various flags to be set.
3552 [Steve Henson]
3553
3554 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3555 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3556 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3557 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3558 dates to be checked.
3559 [Steve Henson]
3560
3561 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3562 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3563 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3564 [Steve Henson]
3565
3566 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3567 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3568 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3569 [Steve Henson]
3570
3571 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3572 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3573 [Bodo Moeller]
3574
3575 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3576 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3577 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3578 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3579 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3580 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3581 [Richard Levitte]
3582
3583 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3584 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3585 Random Numbers.
3586 [Ulf Möller]
3587
3588 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3589 DSA key.
3590 [Steve Henson]
3591
3592 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3593 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3594 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3595 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3596 form signing output easier to verify.
3597 [Steve Henson]
3598
3599 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3600 [Steve Henson]
3601
3602 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3603 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3604 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3605 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3606 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3607 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3608 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3609 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3610 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3611 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3612 [Steve Henson]
3613
3614 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3615
3616 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3617 the syntax given in objects.README.
3618 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3619 obj_mac.h.
3620 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3621 obj_mac.h.
3622
3623 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3624 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3625 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3626 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3627 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3628 consistent name changes.
3629 [Richard Levitte]
3630
3631 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3632 [Bodo Moeller]
3633
3634 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3635 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3636 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3637 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3638 [Richard Levitte]
3639
3640 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3641 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3642 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3643 of safestack.h .
3644 [Steve Henson]
3645
3646 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3647 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3648 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3649 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3650 [Steve Henson]
3651
3652 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3653 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3654 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3655 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3656 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3657 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3658 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3659 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3660 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3661 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3662 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3663 [Steve Henson]
3664
3665 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3666 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3667 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3668 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3669 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3670 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3671 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3672 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3673 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3674 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3675 [Steve Henson]
3676
3677 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3678 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3679 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3680 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3681
3682 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3683 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3684 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3685 omit any duplicate addresses.
3686 [Steve Henson]
3687
3688 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3689 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3690 [Bodo Moeller]
3691
3692 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3693 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3694 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3695 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3696 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3697 [Bodo Moeller]
3698
3699 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3700 software:
3701 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3702 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3703 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3704 Free => OPENSSL_free
3705 [Richard Levitte]
3706
3707 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3708 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3709 [Bodo Moeller]
3710
3711 *) CygWin32 support.
3712 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3713
3714 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3715 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3716 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3717 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3718 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3719 approach.
3720 [Geoff Thorpe]
3721
3722 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3723 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3724 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3725 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3726 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3727 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3728 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3729 [Geoff Thorpe]
3730
3731 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3732 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3733 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3734 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3735 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3736 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3737 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3738 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3739 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3740 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3741 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3742 [Bodo Moeller]
3743
3744 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3745 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3746 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3747 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3748 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3749
3750 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3751 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3752 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3753 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3754 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3755
3756 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3757 ciphers.
3758
3759 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3760 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3761 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3762 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3763
3764 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3765
3766 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3767 of macros.
3768
3769 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3770 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3771 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3772 flags.
3773
3774 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3775 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3776 any installed hardware versions can.
3777 [Steve Henson]
3778
3779 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3780 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3781 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3782 number.
3783 [Bodo Moeller]
3784
3785 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3786 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3787 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3788 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3789 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3790
3791 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3792 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3793 [Steve Henson]
3794
3795 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3796 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3797 [Richard Levitte]
3798
3799 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3800 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3801 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3802 features.
3803 [Steve Henson]
3804
3805 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3806 [Ulf Möller]
3807
3808 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3809 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3810 but no ssl client purpose.
3811 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3812
3813 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3814 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3815 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3816 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3817 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3818 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3819 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3820 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3821 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3822 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3823 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3824 [Steve Henson]
3825
3826 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3827 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3828 be obtained from the error queue.
3829 [Bodo Moeller]
3830
3831 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3832 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3833 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3834 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3835 [Bodo Moeller]
3836
3837 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3838 [Ulf Möller]
3839
3840 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3841 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3842 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3843 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3844 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3845 [Geoff Thorpe]
3846
3847 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3848 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3849 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3850 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3851 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3852 [Geoff Thorpe]
3853
3854 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3855 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3856 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3857 may not be NULL.
3858 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3859
3860 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3861 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3862 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3863 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3864 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3865 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3866 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3867 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3868 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3869 or "the configuration storage API"...
3870
3871 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3872
3873 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3874 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3875
3876 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3877
3878 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3879
3880 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3881 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3882 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3883 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3884 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3885 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3886 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3887
3888 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3889 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3890 [Richard Levitte]
3891
3892 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3893 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3894 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3895 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3896 [Bodo Moeller]
3897
3898 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3899 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3900 them in a portable way.
3901 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3902
3903 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3904
3905 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3906
3907 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3908 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3909
3910 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3911 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3912 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3913 <attili@amaxo.com>]
3914
3915 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3916 was larger than the MD block size.
3917 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3918
3919 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3920 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3921 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3922 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3923 components.
3924 [Steve Henson]
3925
3926 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3927 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3928 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3929
3930 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3931 discouraged.
3932 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3933
3934 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3935 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3936 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3937 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3938 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3939 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3940
3941 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3942 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3943
3944 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3945 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3946 [Bodo Moeller]
3947
3948 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3949 [Bodo Moeller]
3950
3951 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3952 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3953 its own key.
3954 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3955 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3956 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3957 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3958 [Bodo Moeller]
3959
3960 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3961 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3962 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3963 does not suppress any output.
3964 [Richard Levitte]
3965
3966 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3967 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3968 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3969 with all the associated security issues.
3970
3971 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3972 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3973 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3974 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3975 use the value in the default purpose.
3976 [Steve Henson]
3977
3978 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3979 and fix a memory leak.
3980 [Steve Henson]
3981
3982 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3983 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3984 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3985 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3986 [Bodo Moeller]
3987
3988 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3989 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3990 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3991 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3992 [Bodo Moeller]
3993
3994 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3995 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3996 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3997 [Bodo Moeller]
3998
3999 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4000 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4001 [Bodo Moeller]
4002
4003 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4004 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4005 which was free.
4006 [Steve Henson]
4007
4008 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4009 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4010 [Bodo Moeller]
4011
4012 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4013 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4014 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4015 [Bodo Moeller]
4016
4017 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4018 number generation fails.
4019 [Bodo Moeller]
4020
4021 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4022 [Bodo Moeller]
4023
4024 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4025 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4026
4027 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4028 [Ulf Möller]
4029
4030 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4031 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4032
4033 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4034 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4035
4036 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4037
4038 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4039 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4040 [Steve Henson]
4041
4042 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4043 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4044
4045 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4046 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4047 [Ulf Möller]
4048
4049 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4050 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4051 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4052 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4053 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4054 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4055
4056 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4057 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4058 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4059 for example.
4060 [Steve Henson]
4061
4062 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4063 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4064 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4065 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4066 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4067 counter, some don't.)
4068 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4069 counters or duplicate objects.
4070 [Steve Henson]
4071
4072 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4073 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4074 [Steve Henson]
4075
4076 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4077 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4078 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4079
4080 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4081 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4082 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4083 or -rand.
4084 [Ulf Möller]
4085
4086 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4087 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4088 [Steve Henson]
4089
4090 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4091 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4092 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4093 cipher list.
4094 [Steve Henson]
4095
4096 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4097 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4098 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4099 [Steve Henson]
4100
4101 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4102 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4103 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4104 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4105 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4106 should work without changes.
4107 [Richard Levitte]
4108
4109 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4110 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4111 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4112 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4113 must be defined. E.g.,
4114 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4115 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4116 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4117 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4118
4119 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4120 record layer.
4121 [Bodo Moeller]
4122
4123 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4124 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4125 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4126 [Steve Henson]
4127
4128 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4129 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4130 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4131 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4132 [Steve Henson]
4133
4134 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4135 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4136 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4137 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4138 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4139 is prompted for as usual.
4140 [Steve Henson]
4141
4142 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4143 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4144 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4145 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4146
4147 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4148 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4149 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4150 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4151 [Steve Henson]
4152
4153 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4154 [Andy Polyakov]
4155
4156 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4157 of seed file.
4158 [Steve Henson]
4159
4160 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4161 [Bodo Moeller]
4162
4163 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4164 [Steve Henson]
4165
4166 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4167 bits.
4168 [Ulf Möller]
4169
4170 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4171 [Ulf Möller]
4172
4173 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4174 [Andy Polyakov]
4175
4176 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4177 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4178 [Ulf Möller]
4179
4180 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4181 options to produce them.
4182 [Steve Henson]
4183
4184 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4185 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4186 [Ulf Möller]
4187
4188 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4189 for p == 0.
4190 [Ulf Möller]
4191
4192 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4193 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4194 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4195 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4196 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4197 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4198 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4199 [Steve Henson]
4200
4201 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4202 [Steve Henson]
4203
4204 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4205 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4206 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4207 [Bodo Moeller]
4208
4209 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4210 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4211
4212 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4213 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4214 [Ulf Möller]
4215
4216 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4217 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4218 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4219 has already seen).
4220 [Bodo Moeller]
4221
4222 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4223 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4224
4225 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4226 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4227 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4228 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4229 generation becomes much faster.
4230
4231 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4232 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4233 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4234 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4235 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4236 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4237 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4238 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4239 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4240 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4241 [Bodo Moeller]
4242
4243 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4244 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4245 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4246 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4247 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4248 trial division stage.
4249 [Bodo Moeller]
4250
4251 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4252 as ASN1_TIME.
4253 [Steve Henson]
4254
4255 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4256 [Steve Henson]
4257
4258 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4259 [Ulf Möller]
4260
4261 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4262 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4263 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4264 the comments.
4265 [Ulf Möller]
4266
4267 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4268 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4269 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4270 [Bodo Moeller]
4271
4272 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4273 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4274 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4275 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4276
4277 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4278 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4279 [Steve Henson]
4280
4281 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4282 [Ulf Möller]
4283
4284 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4285 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4286 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4287 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4288 [Ulf Möller]
4289
4290 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4291 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4292 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4293 [Ulf Möller]
4294
4295 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4296 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4297 (instead of parameters) in future.
4298 [Steve Henson]
4299
4300 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4301 when a new cipher list is set.
4302 [Steve Henson]
4303
4304 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4305 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4306 wrong.
4307
4308 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4309 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4310 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4311
4312 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4313 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4314 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4315 an error is flagged.
4316
4317 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4318 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4319 the readability was also increased :-)
4320 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4321
4322 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4323 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4324 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4325 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4326 as the root CA.
4327 [Steve Henson]
4328
4329 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4330 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4331 [Steve Henson]
4332
4333 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4334 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4335 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4336 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4337 instead.
4338
4339 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4340 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4341 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4342 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4343 because they handle more complex structures.)
4344 [Steve Henson]
4345
4346 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
4347 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
4348 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
4349 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4350
4351 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
4352 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
4353 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
4354 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
4355 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
4356 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
4357 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
4358 [Ulf Möller]
4359
4360 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
4361 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
4362 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
4363 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
4364 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
4365 [Bodo Moeller]
4366
4367 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
4368 [Bodo Moeller]
4369
4370 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
4371 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
4372 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
4373 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
4374 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
4375 to use this.
4376
4377 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
4378 code.
4379 [Steve Henson]
4380
4381 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
4382 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
4383 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
4384 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
4385 [Steve Henson]
4386
4387 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
4388 [Ulf Möller]
4389
4390 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
4391 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4392 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4393 international characters are used.
4394
4395 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4396 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4397 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4398 in ASN1 order.
4399 [Steve Henson]
4400
4401 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4402 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4403 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4404 request.
4405
4406 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4407 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4408 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4409 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4410 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4411 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4412
4413 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4414 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4415 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4416 be handled by the string table functions.
4417
4418 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4419 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4420 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4421 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4422 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4423 types at all.
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4427 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4428 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4429 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4430 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4431
4432 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4433 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4434 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4435 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4436 [Bodo Moeller]
4437
4438 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4439 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4440 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4441 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4442 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4443 SHA1.
4444 [Andy Polyakov]
4445
4446 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4447 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4448 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4449 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4450 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4451 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4452 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4453 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4454
4455 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4456 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4457 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4458 [Steve Henson]
4459
4460 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4461 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4462 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4463 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4464 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4465 support to pkcs8 application.
4466 [Steve Henson]
4467
4468 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4469 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4470 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4471 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4472 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
4473 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4474 [Bodo Moeller]
4475
4476 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4477 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4478 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4479 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4480 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4481 consistency.
4482 [Bodo Moeller]
4483
4484 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4485 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4486 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4487 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4488 example.
4489 [Steve Henson]
4490
4491 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4492 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4493 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4494 and any application specific purposes.
4495
4496 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4497 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4498 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4499 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4500 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4501 if the certificate is self signed.
4502 [Steve Henson]
4503
4504 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4505 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4506 [Steve Henson]
4507
4508 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4509 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4510 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4511 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4512 [Steve Henson]
4513
4514 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4515 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4516 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4517 Update documentation.
4518 [Steve Henson]
4519
4520 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4521 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4522 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4523 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4524 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4525 [Steve Henson]
4526
4527 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4528 for details.
4529 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4530
4531 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4532 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4533 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4534 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4535 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4536 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4537 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4538 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4539 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4540 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4541
4542 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4543
4544 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4545 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4546 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4547 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4548 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4549
4550 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4551 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4552 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4553 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4554 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4555 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4556 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4557 request additional information:
4558 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4559 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4560
4561 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4562 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4563 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4564 options.
4565
4566 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4567 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4568
4569 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
4570 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4571 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
4572
4573 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4574 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4575
4576 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4577 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4578 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4579 algorithm.
4580 [Steve Henson]
4581
4582 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4583 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4584 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4585
4586 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4587 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4588 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4589 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4590 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4591 included in OpenSSL.
4592 [Steve Henson]
4593
4594 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4595 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4596 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4597 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4598 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4599 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4600 [Bodo Moeller]
4601
4602 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4603 PKCS12 structure.
4604 [Steve Henson]
4605
4606 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4607 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4608 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4609 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4610 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4611 structure.
4612 [Steve Henson]
4613
4614 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4615 need initialising.
4616 [Steve Henson]
4617
4618 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4619 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4620 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4621 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4622 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4623 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4624 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4625 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4626 be maintained manually.
4627
4628 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4629 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4630 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4631 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4632 work because people forget to call this function]
4633 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4634 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4635 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4636 [Steve Henson]
4637
4638 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4639 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4640 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4641 should be discouraged from doing it.
4642 [Ben Laurie]
4643
4644 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4645 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4646 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4647 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4648 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4649 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4650 [Steve Henson]
4651
4652 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4653 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4654 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4655
4656 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4657 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4658 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4659
4660 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4661 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4662 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4663 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4664 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4665 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4666
4667 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4668 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4669 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4670
4671 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4672 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4673 and vice versa.
4674
4675 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4676 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4677 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4678 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4679 [Steve Henson]
4680
4681 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4682 [Steve Henson]
4683
4684 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4685 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4686 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4687 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4688 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4689 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4690 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4691 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4692 keys so we should be OK.
4693
4694 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4695 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4696 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4697 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4698 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4699 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4700 stay in the name of compatibility.
4701
4702 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4703 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4704 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4705
4706 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4707 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4708 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4709 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4710 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4711 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4712 supplied key).
4713 [Steve Henson]
4714
4715 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4716 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4717 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4718 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4719 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4720 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4721 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4722 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4723 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4724 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4725 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4726 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4727 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4728 [Steve Henson]
4729
4730 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4731 [Steve Henson]
4732
4733 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4734 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4735 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4736 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4737 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4738 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4739 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4740 openssl verify ss.pem
4741 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4742 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4743 is OK.
4744 [Steve Henson]
4745
4746 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4747 (and add it to external session representation).
4748 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4749 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4750 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4751 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4752 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4753 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4754 security holes.
4755 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4756
4757 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4758 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4759 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4760 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4761
4762 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4763 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4764 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4765 [Steve Henson]
4766
4767 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4768 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4769 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4770 code.
4771 [Steve Henson]
4772
4773 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4774 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4775 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4776
4777 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4778 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4779 certificate auxiliary information.
4780 [Steve Henson]
4781
4782 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4783 the 'enc' command.
4784 [Steve Henson]
4785
4786 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4787 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4788 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4789 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4790 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4791 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4792 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4793 [Richard Levitte]
4794
4795 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4796 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4797 [Steve Henson]
4798
4799 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4800 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4801 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4802 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4803 [Steve Henson]
4804
4805 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4806 [Steve Henson]
4807
4808 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4809 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811
4812 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4813 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4814 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4815 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4816 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4817 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4818 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4819 using the new 'x509' options.
4820
4821 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4822 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4823 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4824 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4825 for all purposes.
4826 [Steve Henson]
4827
4828 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4829 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4830 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4831 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4832 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4833 [Mark Cox]
4834
4835 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4836 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4837 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4838 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4839 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4840 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4841 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4842 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4843 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4844 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4845 [Steve Henson]
4846
4847 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4848 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4849 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4850 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4851 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4852 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4853 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4854 [Steve Henson]
4855
4856 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4857 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4858 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4859 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4860 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4861 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4862 openssl.cnf for more info.
4863 [Steve Henson]
4864
4865 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4866 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4867 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4868 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4869 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4870 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4871 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4872 md should be large enough anyway.
4873 [Bodo Moeller]
4874
4875 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4876 for handling the random seed file.
4877
4878 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4879 ca,
4880 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4881 s_client,
4882 s_server,
4883 x509 (when signing).
4884 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4885 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4886 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4887
4888 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4889 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4890 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4891 that support '-rand'.
4892 [Bodo Moeller]
4893
4894 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4895 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4896 [Bodo Moeller]
4897
4898 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4899 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4900 [Bill Perry]
4901
4902 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4903 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4904 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4905 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4906 is suitable.
4907 [Steve Henson]
4908
4909 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4910 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4911 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4912 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4913 [Steve Henson]
4914
4915 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4916 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4917 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4918 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4919 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4920 print out all the purposes.
4921 [Steve Henson]
4922
4923 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4924 functions.
4925 [Steve Henson]
4926
4927 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4928 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4929 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4930 single function call.
4931 [Steve Henson]
4932
4933 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4934 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4935 [Andy Polyakov]
4936
4937 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4938 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4939 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4940 [Steve Henson]
4941
4942 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4943 when producing the local key id.
4944 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4945
4946 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4947 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4948 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4949 "server.pem".
4950 [Steve Henson]
4951
4952 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4953 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4954 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4955 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4956 [Steve Henson]
4957
4958 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4959 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4960 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4961 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4962
4963 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4964 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4965 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4966 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4967
4968 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4969 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4970 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4971 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4972 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4973 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4974 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4975 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4976 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4977 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4978 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4979 trivial: move one line.
4980 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4981
4982 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4983 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4984 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4985 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4986 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4987 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4988 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4989 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4990 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4991 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4992 with an event loop for example.
4993 [Steve Henson]
4994
4995 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4996 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4997 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4998 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4999 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5000 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5001 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5002 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5003 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5004 [Steve Henson]
5005
5006 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5007 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5008 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5009 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5010 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5011 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5012 [Steve Henson]
5013
5014 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5015 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5016 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5017 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5018
5019 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5020 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5021 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5022 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5023 key generation.
5024 [Steve Henson]
5025
5026 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5027 (still largely untested)
5028 [Bodo Moeller]
5029
5030 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5031 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5032 [Steve Henson]
5033
5034 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5035 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5036 [Steve Henson]
5037
5038 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5039 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5040 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5041 [Bodo Moeller]
5042
5043 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5044 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5045 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5046 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5047 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5048 [Steve Henson]
5049
5050 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5051 [Andy Polyakov]
5052
5053 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5054 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5055 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5056 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5057 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5058 in ca.
5059 [Steve Henson]
5060
5061 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5062 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5063 1.OU="Unit name 1"
5064 2.OU="Unit name 2"
5065 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5066 [Steve Henson]
5067
5068 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5069 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5070 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5071 are otherwise ignored at present.
5072 [Steve Henson]
5073
5074 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5075 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5076 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5077 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5078 copied until the next read.
5079 [Steve Henson]
5080
5081 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5082 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5083 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5084 [Steve Henson]
5085
5086 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5087 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5088 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5089 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5090 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5091 associated functions.
5092 [Steve Henson]
5093
5094 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5095 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5096 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5097 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5098 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5099 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5100 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5101 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5102 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5103 memory BIOs.
5104 [Steve Henson]
5105
5106 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5107 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5108 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5109 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5110 [Bodo Moeller]
5111
5112 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5113 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5114 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5115 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5116 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5117 functionality.
5118 [Steve Henson]
5119
5120 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5121 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5122 under Win32.
5123 [Steve Henson]
5124
5125 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5126 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5127 extensions to be obtained and added.
5128 [Steve Henson]
5129
5130 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5131 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5132 [Bodo Moeller]
5133
5134 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5135
5136 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5137 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5138
5139 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5140 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5141
5142 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5143 program.
5144 [Steve Henson]
5145
5146 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5147 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5148 DH parameters contain its length).
5149
5150 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5151 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5152 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5153 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5154 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5155 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5156 utter importance to use
5157 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5158 or
5159 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5160 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5161 attacks may become possible!
5162 [Bodo Moeller]
5163
5164 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5165 [Bodo Moeller]
5166
5167 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5168 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5169 [Steve Henson]
5170
5171 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5172 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5173 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5174 or long name.
5175 [Steve Henson]
5176
5177 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5178 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5179 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5180 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5181 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5182 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5183 private key operations.
5184 [Steve Henson]
5185
5186 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5187 [Andy Polyakov]
5188
5189 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5190 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5191 to
5192 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5193 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5194 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5195 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5196 the password callback is called.
5197 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5198
5199 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5200
5201 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5202 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5203 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5204 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5205 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5206 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5207 this will work.
5208
5209 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5210 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5211 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5212 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5213 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5214 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5215 [Bodo Moeller]
5216
5217 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5218 [Andy Polyakov]
5219
5220 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5221 delete an unused file.
5222 [Ulf Möller]
5223
5224 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5225 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5226 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5227 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5228 [Steve Henson]
5229
5230 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5231 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5232 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5233 of an error.
5234 [Bodo Moeller]
5235
5236 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5237 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5238 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5239
5240 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5241 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5242 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5243 comparison" warnings.
5244 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5245 [Steve Henson]
5246
5247 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5248 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5249 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5250 [Steve Henson]
5251
5252 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5253 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5254
5255 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5256 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5257
5258 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5259 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5260 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5261
5262 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5263 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5264 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5265 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5266 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5267 this bug.
5268 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5269
5270 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5271 The interface is as follows:
5272 Applications can use
5273 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5274 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5275 "off" is now the default.
5276 The library internally uses
5277 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5278 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5279 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5280
5281 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5282 even the default) are now avoided.
5283
5284 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5285 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5286 than just having a counter.
5287
5288 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5289
5290 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5291 extensions.
5292 [Bodo Moeller]
5293
5294 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5295 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5296 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5297 Initial "mode" flags are:
5298
5299 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5300 a single record has been written.
5301 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5302 retries use the same buffer location.
5303 (But all of the contents must be
5304 copied!)
5305 [Bodo Moeller]
5306
5307 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5308 worked.
5309
5310 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5311 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5312
5313 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5314 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5315 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5316 [Steve Henson]
5317
5318 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5319 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5320 test programs.
5321 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5322
5323 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5324 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5325 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5326 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5327 point to the end.
5328 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5329 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5330
5331 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5332 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5333 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5334 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5335 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5336 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5337 [Steve Henson]
5338
5339 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5340 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5341 necessary function names.
5342 [Steve Henson]
5343
5344 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5345 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5346 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
5347 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
5348 [Bodo Moeller]
5349
5350 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
5351 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
5352 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
5353 [Steve Henson]
5354
5355 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
5356 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
5357 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
5358 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
5359 such programs?)
5360 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
5361 need locks.
5362 [Bodo Moeller]
5363
5364 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
5365 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
5366 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
5367 [Bodo Moeller]
5368
5369 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
5370 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
5371 appropriate.
5372 [Bodo Moeller]
5373
5374 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
5375 for the encoded length.
5376 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
5377
5378 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
5379 [Steve Henson]
5380
5381 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
5382 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
5383 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
5384 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
5385 [Steve Henson]
5386
5387 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
5388 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
5389 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5390
5391 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5392 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5393 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5394 unusual formatting.
5395 [Steve Henson]
5396
5397 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5398 to use the new extension code.
5399 [Steve Henson]
5400
5401 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5402 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5403 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5404 constant.
5405 [Steve Henson]
5406
5407 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5408 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5409 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5410 [Bodo Moeller]
5411
5412 #if 0
5413 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5414 [Ben Laurie]
5415 #else
5416 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5417 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5418 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5419 #endif
5420
5421 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5422 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5423 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5424 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5425 [Ben Laurie]
5426
5427 *) DES library cleanups.
5428 [Ulf Möller]
5429
5430 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5431 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5432 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5433 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5434 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5435 of v2.0.
5436 [Steve Henson]
5437
5438 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5439 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5440 [Bodo Moeller]
5441
5442 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5443 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5444 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5445 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5446 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5447 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5448 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5449 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5450 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5451 [Steve Henson]
5452
5453 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5454 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5455 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5456 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5457 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5458 value doesn't matter.
5459 [Steve Henson]
5460
5461 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5462 support mutable.
5463 [Ben Laurie]
5464
5465 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5466 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5467 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5468 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5469
5470 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
5471 [Ulf Möller]
5472
5473 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
5474 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
5475 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5476
5477 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5478 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5479
5480 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5481 [Ben Laurie]
5482
5483 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5484 [Ben Laurie]
5485
5486 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5487 [Ben Laurie]
5488
5489 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5490 [Bodo Moeller]
5491
5492
5493 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5494
5495 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5496
5497 *) Updated some demos.
5498 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5499
5500 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5501 [Wu Zhigang]
5502
5503 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5504 [Steve Henson]
5505
5506 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5507 [Steve Henson]
5508
5509 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5510 instead of using a fixed path.
5511 [Bodo Moeller]
5512
5513 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5514 [Andy Polyakov]
5515
5516 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5517 [Richard Levitte]
5518
5519
5520 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5521
5522 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5523 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5524 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5525
5526 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5527 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5528 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5529 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5530 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5531 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5532 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5533 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5534 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5535 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5536 [Steve Henson]
5537
5538 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5539 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5540 [Steve Henson]
5541
5542 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5543 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5544 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5545 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5546 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5547
5548 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5549 [Bodo Moeller]
5550
5551 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5552 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5553 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5554 [Steve Henson]
5555
5556 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5557 [Ben Laurie]
5558
5559 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5560 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5561 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5562 key elements as negative integers.
5563 [Steve Henson]
5564
5565 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5566 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5567
5568 *) VMS support.
5569 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5570
5571 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5572 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5573 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5574 [Steve Henson]
5575
5576 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5577 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5578 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5579 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5580 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5581 [Bodo Moeller]
5582
5583 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5584 [Ulf Möller]
5585
5586 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5587 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5588 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5589 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5590
5591 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5592 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5593 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5594
5595 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5596 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5597 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5598 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5599 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5600 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5601 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5602 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5603 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5604
5605 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5606 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5607 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5608 does not influence s as it used to.
5609
5610 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5611 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5612 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5613 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5614 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5615 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5616 [Bodo Moeller]
5617
5618 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5619 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5620 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5621 key type.
5622 [Steve Henson]
5623
5624 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5625 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5626 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5627 and 'x509').
5628 [Steve Henson]
5629
5630 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5631 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5632 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5633 extension option.
5634 [Steve Henson]
5635
5636 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5637 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5638 [Ben Laurie]
5639
5640 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5641 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5642
5643 *) Support Mingw32.
5644 [Ulf Möller]
5645
5646 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5647 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5648
5649 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5650 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5651
5652 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5653 [Ulf Möller]
5654
5655 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5656 [Anonymous]
5657
5658 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5659 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5660
5661 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5662 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5663 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5664 DER-encoded.)
5665 [Bodo Moeller]
5666
5667 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5668 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5669 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5670 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5671 now it really counts the depth.
5672 [Bodo Moeller]
5673
5674 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5675 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5676 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5677 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5678 didn't match the private key).
5679
5680 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5681 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5682 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5683 [Bodo Moeller]
5684
5685 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5686 [Ulf Möller]
5687
5688 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5689 David Harris.
5690 [Bodo Moeller]
5691
5692 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5693 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5694 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5695 [Bodo Moeller]
5696
5697 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5698 [Bodo Moeller]
5699
5700 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5701 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5702 such as /usr/local/bin.
5703 [Bodo Moeller]
5704
5705 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5706 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5707
5708 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5709 [Ulf Möller]
5710
5711 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5712 extension adding in x509 utility.
5713 [Steve Henson]
5714
5715 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5716 [Ulf Möller]
5717
5718 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5719 prototypes.
5720 [Steve Henson]
5721
5722 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5723 [Ulf Möller]
5724
5725 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5726 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5727 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5728 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5729 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5730 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5731 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5732 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5733 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5734 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5735 [Steve Henson]
5736
5737 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5738 [Bodo Moeller]
5739
5740 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5741 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5742 [Bodo Moeller]
5743
5744 *) Fix some race conditions.
5745 [Bodo Moeller]
5746
5747 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5748 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5749 [Steve Henson]
5750
5751 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5752 [Ulf Möller]
5753
5754 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5755 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5756 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5757 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5758
5759 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5760 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5761
5762 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5763 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5764 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5765
5766 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5767 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5768
5769 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5770 [Ulf Möller]
5771
5772 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5773 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5774
5775 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5776 [Ulf Möller]
5777
5778 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5779 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5780
5781 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5782 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5783 [Steve Henson]
5784
5785 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5786 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5787 [Ben Laurie]
5788
5789 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5790 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5791 [Steve Henson]
5792
5793 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5794 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5795 [Steve Henson]
5796
5797 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5798 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5799 [Steve Henson]
5800
5801 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5802 support typesafe stack.
5803 [Steve Henson]
5804
5805 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5806 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5807
5808 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5809 old X509V3 handling code.
5810 [Steve Henson]
5811
5812 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5813 [Ulf Möller]
5814
5815 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5816 [Bodo Moeller]
5817
5818 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5819 [Ben Laurie]
5820
5821 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5822 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5823
5824 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5825 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5826 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5827 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5828 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5829 [Ben Laurie]
5830
5831 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5832 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5833 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5834 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5835 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5836
5837 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5838 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5839 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5841
5842 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5843 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5844 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5845 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5846
5847 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5848 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5849 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5850 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5851 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5852 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5853 [Bodo Moeller]
5854
5855 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5856 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5857 [Bodo Moeller]
5858
5859 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5860 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5861 [Ulf Möller]
5862
5863 *) Tweaks to Configure
5864 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5865
5866 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5867 yet...
5868 [Steve Henson]
5869
5870 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5871 [Ulf Möller]
5872
5873 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5874 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5875 [Ulf Möller]
5876
5877 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5878 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5879 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5880 [Bodo Moeller]
5881
5882 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5883 [Bodo Moeller]
5884
5885 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5886 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5887 [Steve Henson]
5888
5889 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5890 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5891 to library startup routines.
5892 [Steve Henson]
5893
5894 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5895 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5896 codes along the way.
5897 [Steve Henson]
5898
5899 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5900 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5901 objects to objects.h
5902 [Steve Henson]
5903
5904 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5905 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5906 [Steve Henson]
5907
5908 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5909 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5910
5911 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5912 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5913 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5914
5915 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5916 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5917 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5918
5919 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5920 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5921 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5922
5923
5924 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5925
5926 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5927 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5928 [Ben Laurie]
5929
5930 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5931 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5932 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5933 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5934 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5935
5936 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5937 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5938 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5939 document.
5940 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5941
5942 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5943 Malloc, Free.
5944 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5945
5946 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5947 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5948
5949 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5950 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5951 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5952 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5953
5954 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5955 [Ben Laurie]
5956
5957 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5958 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5959 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5960 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5961 [Steve Henson]
5962
5963 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5964 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5965 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5966 [Steve Henson]
5967
5968 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5969 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5970 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5971 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5972 installed as `perl').
5973 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5974
5975 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5976 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5977
5978 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5979 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5980 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5981 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5982 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5983 [Steve Henson]
5984
5985 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5986 [Ben Laurie]
5987
5988 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5989 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5990 is horrible: I feel ill....
5991 [Steve Henson]
5992
5993 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5994 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5995 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5996 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5997 [Steve Henson]
5998
5999 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6000 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6001
6002 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6003 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6004 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6005 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6006
6007 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6008 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6009 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6010 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6011 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6012 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6013 openssl_bio.xs.
6014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6015
6016 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6017 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6018
6019 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6020 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6021
6022 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6023 [Ben Laurie]
6024
6025 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6026 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6027 in CRLs.
6028 [Steve Henson]
6029
6030 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6031 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6032 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6033 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6034 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6035 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6036 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6037 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6038 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6039 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6040 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6041
6042 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6043 [Ben Laurie]
6044
6045 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6046 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6047 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6048 for linking it into DSOs.
6049 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6050
6051 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6052 Fixed.
6053 [Ben Laurie]
6054
6055 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6056 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6057 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6058 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6059 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6060 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6061
6062 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6063 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6064 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6065 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6066 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6067 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6068 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6069
6070 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6071 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6072 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6073 encryption.
6074 [Ben Laurie]
6075
6076 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6077 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6078 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6079 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6080 [Steve Henson]
6081
6082 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6083 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6084 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6085 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6086 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6087 field as blank.
6088 [Steve Henson]
6089
6090 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6091 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6092 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6093 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6094 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6095
6096 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6097 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6098 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6099
6100 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6101 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6102
6103 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6104 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6105 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6106 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6107 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6108 [Steve Henson]
6109
6110 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6111 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6112 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6113 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6114 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6115 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6116 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6117 [Ben Laurie]
6118
6119 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6120 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
6121 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6122 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6123 [Ben Laurie]
6124
6125 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6126 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6127
6128 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6129 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6130 [Steve Henson]
6131
6132 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6133 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6134 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6135 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6136 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6137 (e.g. s_server).
6138 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6139 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6140 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6141 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6142 no way to reconfigure them.
6143 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6144 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6145 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6146 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6147 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6148 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6149
6150 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6151 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6152 recognized by the users.
6153 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6154
6155 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6156 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6157 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6158 already masked variable.
6159 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6160
6161 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6162 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6163
6164 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6165 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6166 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6167 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6168
6169 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6170 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6171 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6172
6173 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6174 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6175 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6176 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6177 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6178 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6179 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6180 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6181 now, too.
6182 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6183
6184 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6185 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6186 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6187
6188 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6189 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6190 config file.
6191 [Steve Henson]
6192
6193 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6194 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6195
6196 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6197 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6198 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6199 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6200 [Ben Laurie]
6201
6202 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6203 [Steve Henson]
6204
6205 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6206 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6207
6208 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6209 [Ben Laurie]
6210
6211 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6212 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6213 [Steve Henson]
6214
6215 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6216 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6217 [Steve Henson]
6218
6219 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6220 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6221 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6222 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6223 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6224 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6225 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6226 Ben Laurie]
6227
6228 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6229 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6230
6231 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6232 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6233 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6234 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6235 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6236
6237 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6238 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6239 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6240 [Steve Henson]
6241
6242 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6243 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6244 an example.
6245 [Steve Henson]
6246
6247 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6248 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6249 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6250
6251 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6252 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6253 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6254 build instructions.
6255 [Steve Henson]
6256
6257 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6258 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6259 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6260 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6261 [Steve Henson]
6262
6263 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6264 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6265 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6266 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6267 [Ben Laurie]
6268
6269 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6270 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6271 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6272 so it wasn't spotted.
6273 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6274
6275 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6276 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6277 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6278 vectors if you have them.
6279 [Ben Laurie]
6280
6281 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6282 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6283 [Ben Laurie]
6284
6285 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6286 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6287 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6288 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6289 If you do a:
6290 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6291 it will update them.
6292 [Steve Henson]
6293
6294 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6295 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6296 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6297 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6298 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6299 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6300 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6301 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6302
6303 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6304 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6305 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6306 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6307 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6308 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6309 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6310 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6311 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6313
6314 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6315 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6316 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6317 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6318 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6319 [Steve Henson]
6320
6321 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6322 INTEGER code.
6323 [Steve Henson]
6324
6325 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6326 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6327
6328 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6329 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6330
6331 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6332 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6333 [Ben Laurie]
6334
6335 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6336 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6337
6338 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6339 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6340
6341 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6342 [Steve Henson]
6343
6344 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
6345 few typos.
6346 [Steve Henson]
6347
6348 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
6349 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
6350 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
6351 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6352
6353 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6354 [Steve Henson]
6355
6356 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6357 [Steve Henson]
6358
6359 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
6360 [Steve Henson]
6361
6362 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
6363 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
6364 [Steve Henson]
6365
6366 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
6367 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
6368 CA extensions.
6369 [Steve Henson]
6370
6371 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
6372 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
6373 [Steve Henson]
6374
6375 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
6376 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
6377 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
6378 [Steve Henson]
6379
6380 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
6381 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
6382 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
6383 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
6384 properly to be processed.
6385 [Steve Henson]
6386
6387 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
6388 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
6389 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
6390 [Ben Laurie]
6391
6392 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6393 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6394
6395 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6396 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6397 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6398 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6399 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6400 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6401 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6402 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6403 or delete all the .err files.
6404 [Steve Henson]
6405
6406 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6407 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6408 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6409 to regenerate it if needed.
6410 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6411 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6412
6413 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6414 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6415
6416 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6417 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6418 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6419 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6420 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6421 [Steve Henson]
6422
6423 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6424 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6425
6426 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6427 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6428
6429 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6430 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6431 error, but didn't set one).
6432 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6433
6434 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6435 [Ben Laurie]
6436
6437 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6438 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6439 [Steve Henson]
6440
6441 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6442 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6443
6444 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6445 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6446 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6447 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6448 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6449 OID is not part of the table.
6450 [Steve Henson]
6451
6452 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6453 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6454 [Ben Laurie]
6455
6456 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6457 [Ben Laurie]
6458
6459 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6460 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6461 was "1234").
6462 [Steve Henson]
6463
6464 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6465 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6466
6467 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6468 NULL pointers.
6469 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6470
6471 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6472 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6473
6474 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
6475 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6476
6477 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6478 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6479
6480 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6481 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6482 [Ben Laurie]
6483
6484 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6485 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6486 [Steve Henson]
6487
6488 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6489 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6490
6491 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6492 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6493
6494 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6495 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6496
6497 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6498 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6499
6500 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6501 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6502 unused in the certificate verification process.
6503 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6504
6505 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6506 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6507 [Steve Henson]
6508
6509 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6510 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6511 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6512
6513 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6514 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6515 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6516 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6517 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6518
6519 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6520 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6521 [Steve Henson]
6522
6523 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6524 [Steve Henson]
6525
6526 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6527 [Paul Sutton]
6528
6529 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6530 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6531
6532 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6533 [Ben Laurie]
6534
6535 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6536 [Ben Laurie]
6537
6538 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6539 [Ben Laurie]
6540
6541 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6542 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6543 other error libraries.
6544 [Steve Henson]
6545
6546 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6547 [Steve Henson]
6548
6549 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6550 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6551 be read in.
6552 [Steve Henson]
6553
6554 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6555 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6556 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6557 the new set of documenation files.
6558 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6559
6560 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6561 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6562 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6563 number of arguments.
6564 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6565
6566 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6567 [Ben Laurie]
6568
6569 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6570 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6571 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6572
6573 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6574 [Ben Laurie]
6575
6576 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6577 nextstep
6578 ncr-scde
6579 unixware-2.0
6580 unixware-2.0-pentium
6581 sco5-cc.
6582 [Ben Laurie]
6583
6584 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6585 before they are needed.
6586 [Ben Laurie]
6587
6588 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6589 [Ben Laurie]
6590
6591
6592 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6593
6594 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6595 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6597
6598 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6599 [Paul Sutton]
6600
6601 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6602 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6603 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6604
6605 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6606 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6607 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6608
6609 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6610 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6611 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6612
6613 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6614 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6615
6616 *) Updated the README file.
6617 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6618
6619 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6620 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6621 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6622
6623 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6624 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6625 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6626
6627 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6628 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6629 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6630 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6631 o removed obsolete TODO file
6632 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6633 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6634
6635 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6636 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6637 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
6638 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
6639 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
6640 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6641 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6642
6643 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6644 [Mark J. Cox]
6645
6646 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6647 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6648 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6649 summer 1998.
6650 [The OpenSSL Project]
6651
6652
6653 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6654
6655 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6656 [Eric A. Young]
6657
6658 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6659 [Eric A. Young]
6660
6661 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6662 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6663 [Eric A. Young]
6664
6665 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6666 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6667 available).
6668 [Eric A. Young]
6669
6670 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6671 binary structures
6672 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6673
6674 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6675 [Eric A. Young]
6676
6677 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6678 [Eric A. Young]
6679
6680 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6681 [Eric A. Young]
6682
6683 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6684 [Eric A. Young]
6685
6686 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6687 [Eric A. Young]
6688
6689 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6690 [Eric A. Young]
6691
6692 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6693 [Eric A. Young]
6694
6695 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6696 [Eric A. Young]
6697
6698 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6699 [Eric A. Young]
6700
6701 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
6702 [Eric A. Young]
6703
6704 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
6705 [Eric A. Young]
6706
6707 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
6708 [Eric A. Young]
6709
6710 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
6711 [Eric A. Young]
6712
6713 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
6714 [Eric A. Young]
6715
6716 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
6717 [Eric A. Young]
6718
6719 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
6720 [Eric A. Young]
6721
6722 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
6723 [Eric A. Young]
6724
6725 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
6726 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
6727 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6728 [Eric A. Young]
6729
6730 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
6731 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
6732 [Eric A. Young]
6733
6734 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
6735 [Eric A. Young]
6736
6737 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
6738 [Eric A. Young]
6739
6740 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
6741 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
6742 [Eric A. Young]
6743
6744 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
6745 [Eric A. Young]
6746
6747 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
