5 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
8 when OPENSSL_NO_FCAST is set: some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject
9 their use. Safestack is reimplemented using inline functions: tests show
10 that these calls are typically optimized away by compilers so they have
11 no additional overhead. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
12 [Steve Henson]
13
14 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
15 [Andy Polyakov]
16
17 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
18 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
19 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
20 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
21 [Steve Henson]
22
23 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
24 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
25 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
26 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
27 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
28 [Steve Henson]
29
30 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
31 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
32 [Cryptocom]
33
34 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
35 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
36 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
37 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
38 [Steve Henson]
39
40 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
41 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
42 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
43 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
44 [Steve Henson]
45
46 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
47 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
48 [Steve Henson]
49
50 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
51 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
52 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
53 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
54 [Steve Henson]
55
56 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
57 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
58 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
59 [Steve Henson]
60
61 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
62 utility.
63 [Steve Henson]
64
65 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
66 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
67 [Steve Henson]
68
69 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
70 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
71 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
72 if necessary.
73 [Steve Henson]
74
75 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
76 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
77 to free up any added signature OIDs.
78 [Steve Henson]
79
80 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
81 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
82 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
83 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
84 [Steve Henson]
85
86 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
87 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
88 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
89 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
90 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
91 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
92 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
93 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
94
95 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
96 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
97 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
98
99 we now have additional functions
100
101 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
102 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
103 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
104
105 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
106 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
107 callback is &errno.
108 [Bodo Moeller]
109
110 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
111 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
112 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
113 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
114 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
115 the array representation useful in a more general context.
116 [Douglas Stebila]
117
118 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
119 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
120 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
121 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
122 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
123
124 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
125 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
126 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
127 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
128 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
129 protocol).
130
131 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
132 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
133 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
134 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
135
136 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
137 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
138 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
139 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
140 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
141
142 aECDH - ECDH cert
143 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
144 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
145
146 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
147 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
148
149 [Bodo Moeller]
150
151 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
152 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
153 [Steve Henson]
154
155 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
156 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
157 [Steve Henson]
158
159 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
160 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
161 functional reference processing.
162 [Steve Henson]
163
164 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
165 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
166 process.
167 [Steve Henson]
168
169 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
170 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
171 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
172 [Steve Henson]
173
174 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
175 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
176 application to support multiple signers.
177 [Steve Henson]
178
179 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
180 digest MAC.
181 [Steve Henson]
182
183 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
184 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
185 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
186 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
187 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
188 [Steve Henson]
189
190 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
191 new API.
192 [Steve Henson]
193
194 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
195 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
196 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
197 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
198 a no op.
199 [Steve Henson]
200
201 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
202 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
203 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
204 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
205 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
206 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
207 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
208 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
209 [Steve Henson]
210
211 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
212 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
213 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
214 between digests and public key types.
215 [Steve Henson]
216
217 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
218 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
219 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
220 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
221 [Steve Henson]
222
223 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
224 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
225 key ASN1 method.
226 [Steve Henson]
227
228 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
229 [Steve Henson]
230
231 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
232 pkeyutl.
233 [Steve Henson]
234
235 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
236 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
237 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
238 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
239 pkey, genpkey.
240 [Steve Henson]
241
242 *) BeOS support.
243 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
244
245 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
246 manual pages.
247 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
248
249 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
250 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
251 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
252 functionality for RSA.
253 [Steve Henson]
254
255 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
256 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
257 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
258 [Steve Henson]
259
260 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
261 key API, doesn't do much yet.
262 [Steve Henson]
263
264 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
265 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
266 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
267 [Steve Henson]
268
269 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
270 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
271 [Douglas Stebila]
272
273 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
274 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
275 [Steve Henson]
276
277 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
278 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
279 type.
280 [Steve Henson]
281
282 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
283 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
284 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
285 structure.
286 [Steve Henson]
287
288 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
289 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
290 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
291 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
292 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
293 of public and private key structures.
294 [Steve Henson]
295
296 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
297 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
298 [Douglas Stebila]
299
300 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
301 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
302 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
303
304 New ciphersuites:
305 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
306 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
307
308 New functions:
309 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
310 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
311 SSL_get_psk_identity
312 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
313
314 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
315
316 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
317 and response verification functionality.
318 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
319
320 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
321 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
322 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
323 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
324 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
325 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
326 server_name extension.
327
328 New functions (subject to change):
329
330 SSL_get_servername()
331 SSL_get_servername_type()
332 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
333
334 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
335
336 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
337 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
338 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
339 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
340 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
341
342 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
343
344 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
345 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
346 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
347 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
348 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
349 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
350 option.
351
352 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
353
354 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
355 [Andy Polyakov]
356
357 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
358 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
359 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
360 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
361 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
362 [Andy Polyakov]
363
364 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
365 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
366 macro.
367 [Bodo Moeller]
368
369 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
370 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
371 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
372 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
373 [Andy Polyakov]
374
375 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
376 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
377 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
378 using the maximum available value.
379 [Steve Henson]
380
381 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
382 in addition to the text details.
383 [Bodo Moeller]
384
385 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
386 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
387 handle several customised structures at all.
388 [Steve Henson]
389
390 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
391 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
392 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
393 [Steve Henson]
394
395 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
396 [Steve Henson]
397
398 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
399 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
400 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
401 [Steve Henson]
402
403 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
404 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
405 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
406 [Nils Larsch]
407
408 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
409 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
410 all fields.
411 [Steve Henson]
412
413 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
414 [Steve Henson]
415
416 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
417 [NTT]
418
419 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [XX xxx XXXX]
420
421 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
422 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
423 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
424 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
425 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
426 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
427 [Bodo Moeller]
428
429 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
430 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
431 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
432 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
433 message has informed the client about his choice.)
434 [Bodo Moeller]
435
436 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
437 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
438
439 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
440 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
441 Improve header file function name parsing.
442 [Steve Henson]
443
444 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
445
446 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
447 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
448 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
449
450 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
451 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
452
453 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
454 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
455
456 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
457 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
458 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
459
460 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
461 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
462 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
463 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
464 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
465 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
466 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
467 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
468 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
469
470 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
471 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
472 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
473 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
474 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
475
476 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
477 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
478 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
479 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
480 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
481 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
482 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
483 multiple values to extend the available space.
484
485 [Bodo Moeller]
486
487 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
488
489 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
490 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
491
492 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
493 [Ben Laurie]
494
495 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
496 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
497 undesirable limitations.
498 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
499
500 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
501 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
502 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
503 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
504 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
505 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
506 to avoid potential handshake problems.
507 [Bodo Moeller]
508
509 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
510
511 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
512 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
513 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
514
515 The latter two were purportedly from
516 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
517 appear there.
518
519 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
520 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
521 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
522 [Bodo Moeller]
523
524 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
525 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
526 [Bodo Moeller]
527
528 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
529 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
530 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
531 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
532
533 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
534 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
535 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
536 [NTT]
537
538 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
539 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
540 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
541 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
542 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
543 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
544 [Steve Henson]
545
546 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
547
548 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
549 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
550 [Steve Henson]
551
552 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
553 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
554
555 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
556 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
557 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
558 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
559 [Douglas Stebila]
560
561 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
562 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
563 [Steve Henson]
564
565 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
566 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
567 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
568 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
569 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
570 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
571 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
572 can't be loaded.
573 [Steve Henson]
574
575 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
576 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
577 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
578 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
579 [Steve Henson]
580
581 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
582 under VC++ build system.
583 [Steve Henson]
584
585 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
586 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
587 [Richard Levitte]
588
589 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
590
591 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
592 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
593 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
594 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
595 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
596
597 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
598 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
599 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
600
601 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
602 [Steve Henson]
603
604 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
605 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
606 [Nils Larsch]
607
608 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
609 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
610
611 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
612 [Nick Mathewson]
613
614 *) Extended Windows CE support.
615 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
616
617 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
618 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
619 [Steve Henson]
620
621 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
622 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
623 smime utility.
624 [Steve Henson]
625
626 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
627
628 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
629 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
630
631 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
632 [Richard Levitte]
633
634 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
635 key into the same file any more.
636 [Richard Levitte]
637
638 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
639 [Andy Polyakov]
640
641 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
642 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
643
644 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
645 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
646 [Richard Levitte]
647
648 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
649 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
650 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
651 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
652 this only applies when building 'shared'.
653 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
654
655 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
656 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
657 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
658 [Steve Henson]
659
660 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
661 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
662 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
663 - add new function for parameter creation
664 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
665 BN_BLINDING parameters
666 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
667 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
668 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
669 threads.
670 [Nils Larsch]
671
672 *) Add support for DTLS.
673 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
674
675 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
676 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
677 [Walter Goulet]
678
679 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
680 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
681 [Nils Larsch]
682
683 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
684 the apps/openssl applications.
685 [Nils Larsch]
686
687 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
688 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
689 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
690 [Ben Laurie]
691
692 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
693 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
694
695 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
696 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
697
698 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
699 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
700 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
701 avoid this algorithm.)
702
703 [Bodo Moeller]
704
705 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
706 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
707 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
708 [Richard Levitte]
709
710 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
711 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
712 [Andy Polyakov]
713
714 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
715 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
716 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
717 pod file:
718
719 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
720
721 The blank line is mandatory.
722
723 [Steve Henson]
724
725 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
726 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
727 sources.
728 [Steve Henson]
729
730 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
731 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
732
733 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
734 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
735 to support policy checking and print out.
736 [Steve Henson]
737
738 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
739 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
740 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
741 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
742
743 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
744 [Geoff Thorpe]
745
746 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
747 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
748
749 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
750 implementation contributed by IBM.
751 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
752
753 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
754 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
755 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
756 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
757
758 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
759 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
760
761 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
762 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
763 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
764 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
765 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
766 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
767 [Steve Henson]
768
769 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
770 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
771 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
772 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
773 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
774 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
775 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
776 [Geoff Thorpe]
777
778 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
779 [Steve Henson]
780
781 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
782 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
783 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
784 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
785 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
786 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
787 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
788 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
789 [Steve Henson]
790
791 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
792 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
793 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
794 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
795 [Steve Henson]
796
797 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
798 syntax:
799
800 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
801 [Steve Henson]
802
803 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
804 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
805 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
806 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
807 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
808 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
809 BN_CTX's "bundling".
810 [Geoff Thorpe]
811
812 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
813 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
814 [Geoff Thorpe]
815
816 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
817 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
818 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
819 [Steve Henson]
820
821 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
822 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
823 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
824 below).
825 [Geoff Thorpe]
826
827 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
828 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
829 [Richard Levitte]
830
831 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
832 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
833 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
834 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
835 [Geoff Thorpe]
836
837 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
838 initialised value as BN_new().
839 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
840
841 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
842 [Steve Henson]
843
844 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
845 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
846 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
847 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
848 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
849 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
850 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
851 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
852 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
853 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
854 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
855 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
856 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
857 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
858 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
859
860 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
861 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
862 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
863 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
864 [Geoff Thorpe]
865
866 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
867 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
868 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
869 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
870 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
871 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
872 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
873 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
874 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
875 [Geoff Thorpe]
876
877 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
878 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
879 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
880 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
881 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
882 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
883 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
884 [Geoff Thorpe]
885
886 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
887 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
888 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
889 these have been updated also.
890 [Geoff Thorpe]
891
892 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
893 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
894 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
895 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
896 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
897 functions.
898 [Steve Henson]
899
900 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
901 structure of type "other".
902 [Steve Henson]
903
904 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
905 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
906 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
907 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
908 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
909 situation in the script.
910 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
911
912 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
913 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
914 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
915 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
916 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
917 used as premaster secret.
918 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
919
920 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
921 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
922 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
923
924 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
925 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
926
927 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
928 control of the error stack.
929 [Richard Levitte]
930
931 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
932 [Richard Levitte]
933
934 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
935 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
936 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
937 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
938 [Richard Levitte]
939
940 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
941 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
942 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
943 [Richard Levitte]
944
945 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
946 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
947 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
948 a memory area.
949 [Richard Levitte]
950
951 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
952 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
953 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
954 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
955 [Richard Levitte]
956
957 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
958 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
959 the following flags are defined:
960
961 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
962 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
963 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
964 number.
965
966 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
967 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
968 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
969 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
970 returns zero.
971 [Richard Levitte]
972
973 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
974 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
975 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
976 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
977 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
978 [Richard Levitte]
979
980 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
981 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
982 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
983 [Richard Levitte]
984
985 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
986 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
987 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
988 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
989 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
990 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
991 [Richard Levitte]
992
993 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
994 req and dirName.
995 [Steve Henson]
996
997 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
998 [Steve Henson]
999
1000 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1001 [Steve Henson]
1002
1003 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1004 [Steve Henson]
1005
1006 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1007 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1008 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1009 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1010 default implementation more easily.
1011 [Geoff Thorpe]
1012
1013 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1014 in config files.
1015 [Steve Henson]
1016
1017 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1018 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1019 [Richard Levitte]
1020
1021 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1022 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1023 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1024 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1025
1026 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1027 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1028 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1029 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1030 [Steve Henson]
1031
1032 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1033 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1034 to do it.
1035 [Richard Levitte]
1036
1037 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1038 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1039 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1040 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1041 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1042 scalar * generator).
1043 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1044
1045 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1046 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1047 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1048 correctly.
1049 [Steve Henson]
1050
1051 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1052 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1053 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1054 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1055 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1056 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1057 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1058 linker additions, eg;
1059 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1060 [Geoff Thorpe]
1061
1062 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1063 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1064 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1065 [Geoff Thorpe]
1066
1067 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1068 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1069 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1070 via PR#459)
1071 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1072
1073 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1074 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1075 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1076 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1077 [Geoff Thorpe]
1078
1079 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1080 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1081 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1082 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1083 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1084 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1085 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1086 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1087 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1088 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1089
1090 Example for using the new callback interface:
1091
1092 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1093 void *my_arg = ...;
1094 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1095
1096 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1097
1098 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1099 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1100 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1101 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1102 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1103 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1104 */
1105
1106 [Geoff Thorpe]
1107
1108 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1109 available to TLS with the number defined in
1110 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1111 [Richard Levitte]
1112
1113 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1114 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1115
1116 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1117 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1118 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1119 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1120
1121 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1122 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1123
1124 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1125 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1126 well.
1127 [Richard Levitte]
1128
1129 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1130 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1131 [Richard Levitte]
1132
1133 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1134 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1135 and a macro that behave like
1136 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1137
1138 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1139 [Nils Larsch]
1140
1141 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1142 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1143 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1144 if applicable.
1145 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1146
1147 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1148 [Bodo Moeller]
1149
1150 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1151 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1152 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1153 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1154 directory engines/.
1155 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1156 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1157 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1158 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1159 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1160 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1161 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1162 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1163
1164 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1165 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1166 [Richard Levitte]
1167
1168 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1169 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1170
1171 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1172 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1173 files while avoiding the low level API.
1174
1175 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1176 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1177 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1178 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1179
1180 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1181 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1182 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1183 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1184 instead of the low level API.
1185 [Steve Henson]
1186
1187 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1188 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1189 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1190 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1191 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1192 PKCS#7 code.
1193
1194 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1195 down to the template encoder.
1196 [Steve Henson]
1197
1198 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1199 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1200 [Bodo Moeller]
1201
1202 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1203 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1204 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1205 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1206
1207 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1208 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1209
1210 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1211 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1212
1213 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1214 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1215 [Bodo Moeller]
1216
1217 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1218 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1219 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1220 [Bodo Moeller]
1221
1222 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1223 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1224
1225 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1226 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1227
1228 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1229 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1230 New EC_METHOD:
1231
1232 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1233
1234 New API functions:
1235
1236 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1237 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1238 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1239 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1240 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1241 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1242
1243 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1244 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1245 enable it).
1246
1247 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1248 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1249 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1250 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1251 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1252 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1253 various internal method names.)
1254
1255 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1256 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1257
1258 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1259 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1260
1261 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1262 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1263
1264 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1265 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1266 methods are undefined.
1267
1268 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1269 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1270
1271 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1272 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1273 length of the modulus.
1274
1275 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1276 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1277
1278 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1279 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1280
1281 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1282 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1283
1284 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1285 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1286 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1287
1288 BN_GF2m_add
1289 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1290 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1291 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1292 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1293 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
1294 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1295 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1296 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1297 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1298
1299 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1300 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1301
1302 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1303 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1304 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1305 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1306 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1307 where
1308 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1309 This applies to the following functions:
1310
1311 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1312 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1313 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1314 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1315 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1316 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1317 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1318 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1319 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1320 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1321
1322 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1323
1324 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1325 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1326
1327 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1328
1329 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1330 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1331 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1332 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1333 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1334
1335 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1336 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1337
1338 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1339 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1340 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1341
1342 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1343 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1344
1345 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1346 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1347 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1348 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1349 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1350
1351 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1352 functions
1353 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1354 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1355 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1356 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1357 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1358 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1359 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1360 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1361 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1362 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1363 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1364 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1365
1366 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1367 functions
1368 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1369 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1370 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1371 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1372 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1373
1374 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1375 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1376 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1377 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1378
1379 *) Add functions
1380 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1381 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1382 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1383 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1384 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1385 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1386 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1387
1388 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1389 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1390 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1391 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1392 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1393 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1394 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1395 adding different types of curves.
1396 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1397
1398 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1399 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1400 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1401 [Bodo Moeller]
1402
1403 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1404 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1405
1406 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1407 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1408 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1409 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1410
1411 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1412
1413 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1414 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1415
1416 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1417 library. Most notably,
1418 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1419 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1420 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1421 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1422 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1423 extracted before the specific public key;
1424 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1425 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1426
1427 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1428 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1429 function
1430 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1431 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1432 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1433 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1434 accessed via
1435 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1436 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1437 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1438
1439 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1440 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1441 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1442 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1443 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1444 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1445 differing sizes.
1446 [Richard Levitte]
1447
1448 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [xx XXX xxxx]
1449
1450 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1451 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1452 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1453 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1454 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1455 [Bodo Moeller]
1456
1457 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1458 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1459 [Steve Henson]
1460
1461 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1462
1463 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1464 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1465 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1466
1467 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1468 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1469
1470 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1471 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1472
1473 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1474 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1475 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1476
1477 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1478 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1479 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1480 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1481 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1482 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1483 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1484 [Bodo Moeller]
1485
1486 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1487
1488 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1489 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1490
1491 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1492 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1493 undesirable limitations.
1494 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1495
1496 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1497
1498 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1499 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1500 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1501
1502 The latter two were purportedly from
1503 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1504 appear there.
1505
1506 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1507 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1508 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1509 [Bodo Moeller]
1510
1511 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1512 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1513 [Bodo Moeller]
1514
1515 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1516
1517 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1518 module in FIPS mode.
1519 [Steve Henson]
1520
1521 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1522 [Steve Henson]
1523
1524 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1525 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1526 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1527 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1528 [Steve Henson]
1529
1530 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1531
1532 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1533 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1534 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1535 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1536 the difference induced by this change.
1537 [Andy Polyakov]
1538
1539 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1540
1541 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1542 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1543 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1544 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1545 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1546
1547 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1548 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1549 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1550
1551 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1552 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1553 [Steve Henson]
1554
1555 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1556 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1557 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1558 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1559 biased k.)
1560 [Bodo Moeller]
1561
1562 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1563 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1564 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1565 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1566 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1567
1568 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1569 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1570 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1571 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1572 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1573 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1574
1575 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1576
1577 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1578 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1579 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1580 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1581 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1582 [Bodo Moeller]
1583
1584 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1585 clients need.
1586 [Steve Henson]
1587
1588 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1589 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1590 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1591 [Steve Henson]
1592
1593 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1594 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1595 structures constant.
1596 [Steve Henson]
1597
1598 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1599
1600 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1601 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1602
1603 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1604 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1605 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1606 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1607 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1608 some needed definitions.
1609 [Steve Henson]
1610
1611 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1612 [Ulf Möller]
1613
1614 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1615 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1616 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1617 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1618 [Richard Levitte]
1619
1620 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1621
1622 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1623 server and client random values. Previously
1624 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1625 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1626
1627 This change has negligible security impact because:
1628
1629 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1630 data.
1631
1632 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1633 handshake.
1634
1635 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1636 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1637 values.
1638
1639 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1640 to our attention.
1641
1642 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1643
1644 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1645 [Ulf Möller]
1646
1647 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1648 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1649 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1650
1651 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1652 [Steve Henson]
1653
1654 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1655 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1656 [Andy Polyakov]
1657
1658 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1659 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1660 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1661
1662 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1663 [Steve Henson]
1664
1665 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1666 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1667 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1668 certificates.
1669 [Steve Henson]
1670
1671 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1672 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1673 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1674 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1675
1676 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1677 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1678 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1679 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1680 been given)
1681 [Richard Levitte]
1682
1683 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1684
1685 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1686 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1687 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1688 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1689 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1690 [Steve Henson]
1691
1692 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1693 [Steve Henson]
1694
1695 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1696 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1697
1698 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1699 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1700 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1701 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1702 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1703 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1704 rather than being initialized to 1.
1705 [Steve Henson]
1706
1707 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1708
1709 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1710 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1711 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1712
1713 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1714 (CVE-2004-0112)
1715 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1716
1717 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1718 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1719 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1720 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1721 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1722 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1723 [Richard Levitte]
1724
1725 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1726 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1727 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1728 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1729 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1730 for these cases.
1731 [Steve Henson]
1732
1733 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1734 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1735 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1736 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1737 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1738 [Steve Henson]
1739
1740 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1741 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1742 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1743 < 0.9.7.
1744 [Steve Henson]
1745
1746 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1747 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1748
1749 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1750 [Steve Henson]
1751
1752 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1753
1754 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1755
1756 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1757 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1758
1759 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1760
1761 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1762 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1763
1764 [Steve Henson]
1765
1766 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1767 exiting on the first error in a request.
1768 [Steve Henson]
1769
1770 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1771 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1772 specifications.
1773 [Steve Henson]
1774
1775 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1776 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1777 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1778 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1779
1780 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1781 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1782 [Richard Levitte]
1783
1784 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1785 blocks during encryption.
1786 [Richard Levitte]
1787
1788 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1789 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1790 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1791 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1792 certain size.
1793 [Steve Henson]
1794
1795 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1796 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1797 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1798 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1799 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1800 parser.
1801 [Steve Henson]
1802
1803 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1804
1805 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1806 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1807 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1808 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1809 [Bodo Moeller]
1810
1811 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1812 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1813 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1814 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1815 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1816
1817 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1818 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1819 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1820 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1821 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1822 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1823 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1824 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1825 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1826 [Bodo Moeller]
1827
1828 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1829 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1830 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1831 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1832 [Geoff Thorpe]
1833
1834 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1835 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1836 [Ulf Moeller]
1837
1838 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1839
1840 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1841 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1842 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1843 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1844 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1845
1846 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1847 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1848 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1849
1850 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1851 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1852 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1853 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1854 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1855
1856 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1857 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1858 used by default when no-err is given.
1859 [Richard Levitte]
1860
1861 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1862 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1863
1864 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1865 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1866 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1867 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1868 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1869
1870 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1871 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1872 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1873 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1874
1875 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1876
1877 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1878
1879 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1880
1881 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1882 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1883 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1884 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1885 root is omitted).
1886 [Steve Henson]
1887
1888 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1889 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1890
1891 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1892 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1893 [Steve Henson]
1894
1895 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1896 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1897 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1898 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1899 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1900
1901 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1902 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1903 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1904 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1905 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1906 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1907 followup to PR #377.
1908 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1909
1910 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1911 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1912 [Andy Polyakov]
1913
1914 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1915 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1916 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
1917 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
1918
1919 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1920
1921 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1922 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
1923
1924 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1925 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1926 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1927 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1928 client and server.
1929 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1930 PR #377.
1931 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1932
1933 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
1934 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1935 removed entirely.
1936 [Richard Levitte]
1937
1938 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1939 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1940 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1941 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1942 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1943 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1944 of libcrypto.
1945 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1946 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1947 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1948 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1949 have to be made anyway).
1950 [Richard Levitte]
1951
1952 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1953 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1954 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1955 [Steve Henson]
1956
1957 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1958 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1959 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1960 [Richard Levitte]
1961
1962 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1963 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1964 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1965
1966 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1967 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1968 edit numbers of the version.
1969 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1970
1971 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1972 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1973 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1974
1975 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1976 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1977
1978 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1979 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1980 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1981
1982 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1983 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1984
1985 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1986 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1987
1988 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1989 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1990
1991 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1992 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1993
1994 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1995 overflows.
1996 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1997
1998 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1999 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2000 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2001
2002 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2003 representations in a platform independent manner.
2004 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2005
2006 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2007 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2008 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2009
2010 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2011 indents.
2012 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2013
2014 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2015 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2016
2017 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2018 full. Fixed.
2019 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2020
2021 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2022 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2023 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2024
2025 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2026 unconditionally).
2027 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2028
2029 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2030 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2031
2032 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2033 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2034
2035 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2036 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2037
2038 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2039 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2040
2041 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2042 CBCParameter.
2043 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2044
2045 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2046 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2047
2048 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2049 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2050
2051 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2052 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2053 exploitable.
2054 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2055
2056 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2057 the 0.9.6 release series:
2058
2059 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2060 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2061 (CVE-2002-0657)
2062 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2063
2064 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2065 [Richard Levitte]
2066
2067 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2068 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2071 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2072
2073 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2074 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2075 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2076 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2077
2078 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2079 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2080 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2081
2082 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2083 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2084 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2085 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2086
2087 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2088 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2089 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2090 some local tweaks:
2091
2092 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2093 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2094 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2095 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2096 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2097 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2098 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2099 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2100 done
2101
2102 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2103 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2104 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2105 [Richard Levitte]
2106
2107 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2108 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2109 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2110 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2111 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2112
2113 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2114 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2115
2116 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2117 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2118 [Richard Levitte]
2119
2120 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2121 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2122 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2123 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2124 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2125 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2126 [Steve Henson]
2127
2128 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2129 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2130 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2131 [Steve Henson]
2132
2133 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2134 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2135 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2136
2137 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2138 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2139 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2140 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2141 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2142 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2143 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2144 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2145
2146 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2147 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2148 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2149 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2150 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2151 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2152 [Steve Henson]
2153
2154 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2155 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2156 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2157 declaration has been changed from
2158 int (*cb)()
2159 into
2160 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2161 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2162 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2163 has been changed into
2164 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2165
2166 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2167 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2168 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2169
2170 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2171 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2172
2173 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2174 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2175 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2176 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2177 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2178 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2179 always load it have also been added.
2180 [Steve Henson]
2181
2182 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2183 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2184 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2185
2186 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2187
2188 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2189 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2190 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2191
2192 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2193 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2194 command line option can be used to specify an
2195 alternative file.
2196 [Steve Henson]
2197
2198 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2199 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2200 [Steve Henson]
2201
2202 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2203 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2204 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2205 [Steve Henson]
2206
2207 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2208 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2209 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2210 to work with the new engine framework.
2211 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2212
2213 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2214 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2215 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2216 to work with the new engine framework.
2217 [Richard Levitte]
2218
2219 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2220 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2221 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2222
2223 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2224 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2225
2226 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2227 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2228 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2229 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2230 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2231 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2232
2233 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2234 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2235
2236 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2237 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2238
2239 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2240 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2241 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2242 [Ben Laurie]
2243
2244 *) Add new functions
2245 ERR_peek_last_error
2246 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2247 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2248 These are similar to
2249 ERR_peek_error
2250 ERR_peek_error_line
2251 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2252 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2253 still in the error queue.
2254 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2255
2256 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2257 like:
2258 default_algorithms = ALL
2259 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2263 [Steve Henson]
2264
2265 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2266 [Steve Henson]
2267
2268 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2269 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2270 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2271 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2272
2273 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2274 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2275
2276 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2277 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2278
2279 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2280 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2281 [Bodo Moeller]
2282
2283 *) New functions/macros
2284
2285 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2286 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2287 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2288 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2289
2290 to request calling a callback function
2291
2292 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2293 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2294
2295 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2296 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2297 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2298 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2299 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2300 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2301 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2302 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2303 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2304 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2305
2306 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2307 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2308 [Bodo Moeller]
2309
2310 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2311 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2312 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2313 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2314 the configuration scripts.
2315
2316 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2317 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2318 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2319
2320 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2321 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2322
2323 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2324 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2325 when reusing an existing buffer.
2326 [Bodo Moeller]
2327
2328 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2329 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2330 [Steve Henson]
2331
2332 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2333 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2334 [Ben Laurie]
2335
2336 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2337 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2338 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2339 has the same effect.
2340 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2341
2342 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2343 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2344 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2345 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2346 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2347 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2348 exception.
2349
2350 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2351 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2352 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2353 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2354
2355 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2356 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2357 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2358 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2359
2360 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2361 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2362 won't work.
2363
2364 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2365 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2366 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2367 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2368 default), and then completely removed.
2369 [Richard Levitte]
2370
2371 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2372 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2373 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2374 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2375 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2376 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2377 particular extension is supported.
2378 [Steve Henson]
2379
2380 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2381 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2382 [Steve Henson]
2383
2384 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2385 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2386 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2387 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2388 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2389 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2390 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2391 requires the destination to be valid.
2392
2393 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2394 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2398 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2399 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2400 [Bodo Moeller]
2401
2402 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2403 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2404
2405 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2406 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2407 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2408 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2409 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2410 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2411 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2412 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2413 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2414 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2415 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2416 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2417 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2418 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2419 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2420 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2421 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2422 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2423 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2424 the new code.
2425 [Geoff Thorpe]
2426
2427 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2428 [Steve Henson]
2429
2430 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2431 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2432 become part of libeay.num as well.
2433 [Richard Levitte]
2434
2435 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2436 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2437 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2438 false once a handshake has been completed.
2439 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2440 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2441 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2442 client has followed the request.)
2443 [Bodo Moeller]
2444
2445 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2446 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2447 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2448 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2449
2450 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2451 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2452 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2453 [Bodo Moeller]
2454
2455 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2456 [Steve Henson]
2457
2458 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2459 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2460 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2461 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2462
2463 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2464 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2465 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2466
2467 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2468 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2469 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2470 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2471 [Geoff Thorpe]
2472
2473 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2474 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2475 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2476 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2477 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2478 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2479 [Geoff Thorpe]
2480
2481 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2482 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2483 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2484 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2485 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2486 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2487 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2488 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2489 [Geoff Thorpe]
2490
2491 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2492 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2493 [Geoff Thorpe]
2494
2495 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2496 [Ben Laurie]
2497
2498 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2499 md_data void pointer.
2500 [Ben Laurie]
2501
2502 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2503 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2504 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2505 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2506 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2507 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2508 [Ben Laurie]
2509
2510 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2511 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2512 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2513 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2514 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2515 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2516 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2517 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2518 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2519 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2520 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2521 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2522 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2523 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2524 rather than letting it slide.
2525
2526 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2527 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2528 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2529 [Geoff Thorpe]
2530
2531 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2532 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2533 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2534 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2535 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2536 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2537 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2538 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2539 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2540 [Geoff Thorpe]
2541
2542 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2543 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2544 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2545 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2546 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2547
2548 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2549 [Geoff Thorpe]
2550
2551 *) Add EVP test program.
2552 [Ben Laurie]
2553
2554 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2555 [Ben Laurie]
2556
2557 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2558 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2559 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2560 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2561 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2562 [Steve Henson]
2563
2564 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2565 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2566 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2567 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2568 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2569 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2570 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2571
2572 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2573 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2574 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2575 Usage example:
2576
2577 EVP_MD_CTX md;
2578
2579 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2580 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2581 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2582 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2583 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2584
2585 [Ben Laurie]
2586
2587 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2588 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2589 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2590 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2591 anyway): E.g.,
2592
2593 des_key_schedule ks;
2594
2595 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2596 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2597
2598 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2599 [Ben Laurie]
2600
2601 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2602 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2603 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2604 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2605 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2606 functions prevents this.
2607 [Steve Henson]
2608
2609 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2610 [Ben Laurie]
2611
2612 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2613 correct _ecb suffix.
2614 [Ben Laurie]
2615
2616 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2617 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2618 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2619 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2620 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2621 [Steve Henson]
2622
2623 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2624 [Richard Levitte]
2625
2626 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2627 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2628 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2629 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2630
2631 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2632 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2633
2634 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2635 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2636 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2637 via Richard Levitte]
2638
2639 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2640 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2641 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2642 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2643 [Geoff Thorpe]
2644
2645 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2646 Before:
2647 encrypt
2648 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2649 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
2650 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
2651 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
2652 decrypt
2653 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
2654 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
2655 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
2656 After:
2657 encrypt
2658 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
2659 decrypt
2660 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
2661 [Ben Laurie]
2662
2663 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2664 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2665
2666 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2667 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2668 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2669 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2670 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2671 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2672 [Steve Henson]
2673
2674 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2675 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2676 [Richard Levitte]
2677
2678 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2679 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2680 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2681 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2682
2683 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2684 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2685 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2686 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2687 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2688 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2689 callback.
2690 [Richard Levitte]
2691
2692 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2693 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2694 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2695 and interrupts/cancellations.
2696 [Richard Levitte]
2697
2698 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2699 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2700 [Steve Henson]
2701
2702 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2703 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2704 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2705
2706 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2707 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2708 kind of callback.
2709 [Richard Levitte]
2710
2711 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2712 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2713 than this minimum value is recommended.
2714 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2715
2716 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2717 that are easily reachable.
2718 [Richard Levitte]
2719
2720 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2721 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2722
2723 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2724
2725 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2726 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2727 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2728 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2729 [Steve Henson]
2730
2731 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2732 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2733 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2734 [Steve Henson]
2735
2736 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2737 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2738 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2739 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2740 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2741 internally such as S/MIME.
2742
2743 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2744 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2745 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2746
2747 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2748 applications.
2749 [Steve Henson]
2750
2751 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2752 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2753 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2754 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2755
2756 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2757
2758 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2759
2760 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2761 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2762 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2763 handling.
2764 [Steve Henson]
2765
2766 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2767 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2768 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2769 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2770 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2771 a window system and the like.
2772 [Richard Levitte]
2773
2774 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2775 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2776 [Geoff]
2777
2778 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2779 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2780 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2781 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2782 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2783 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2784 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2785 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2786 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2787 ENGINE structure.
2788 [Geoff]
2789
2790 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2791 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2792 tag cache.
2793 [Steve Henson]
2794
2795 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2796 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2797 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2798 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2799 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2800 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2801 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2802 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2803 [Geoff]
2804
2805 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2806 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2807 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2808 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2809 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2810 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2811 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2812 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2813 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2814 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2815 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2816 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2817 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2818 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2819 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2820 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2821 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2822 [Geoff]
2823
2824 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2825 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2826 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2827 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2828 internal engine_int.h header.
2829 [Geoff]
2830
2831 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2832 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2833 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2834 modify their own ones).
2835 [Geoff]
2836
2837 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2838 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2839 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2840 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2841 later on via ctrl() commands.
2842 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2843 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2844 structural references.
2845 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2846 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2847 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2848 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2849 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2850 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2851 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2852 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2853 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2854 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2855 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2856 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2857 [Geoff]
2858
2859 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2860 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2861 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2862 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2863 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2864 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2865 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2866 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2867 [Bodo Moeller]
2868
2869 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2870 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2871 [Steve Henson]
2872
2873 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2874 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2875 [Steve Henson]
2876
2877 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2878 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2879 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2880 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2881 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2882 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2883 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2884 [Steve Henson]
2885
2886 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2887 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2888 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2889 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2890 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2891
2892 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2893 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2894 generator).
2895 [Bodo Moeller]
2896
2897 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2898
2899 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2900 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2901 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2902
2903 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2904 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2905
2906 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2907 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2908 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2909
2910 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2911 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2912
2913 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2914 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2915
2916 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2917
2918 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2919 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2920 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2921 [Bodo Moeller]
2922
2923 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2924 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2925 [Richard Levitte]
2926
2927 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2928 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2929 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2930 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2931 is 40 of more characters long.
2932 [Steve Henson]
2933
2934 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2935 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2936 pointers.
2937 [Steve Henson]
2938
2939 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2940 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2941 [Bodo Moeller]
2942
2943 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2944 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2945 might.
2946 [Steve Henson]
2947
2948 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2949
2950 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2951 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2952
2953 ASN1 error codes
2954 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2955 ...
2956 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2957 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2958 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2959 ...
2960 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2961 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2962
2963 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2964 [Bodo Moeller]
2965
2966 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2967 suffices.
2968 [Bodo Moeller]
2969
2970 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2971 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2972 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2973 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2974 and
2975 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2976
2977 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2978 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2979
2980 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2981 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2982 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2983 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2984 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2985 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2986
2987 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2988 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2989
2990 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2991 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2992
2993 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2994 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2995
2996 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2997 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2998 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2999 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3000
3001 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3002 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3003
3004 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3005 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3006
3007 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3008 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3009 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3010 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3011 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3012 [Richard Levitte]
3013
3014 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3015 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3016 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3017 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3018 [Steve Henson]
3019
3020 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3021 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3022 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3023 trust settings.
3024 [Steve Henson]
3025
3026 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3027 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3028 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3029 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3030 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3031 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3032 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3033 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3034 ocsp utility.
3035 [Steve Henson]
3036
3037 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3038 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3039 [Steve Henson]
3040
3041 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3042 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3043 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3044 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3045 [Steve Henson]
3046
3047 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3048 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3049 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3050 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3051 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3052 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3053 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3054 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3055 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3056 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3057 [Steve Henson]
3058
3059 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3060 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3061 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3062 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3063 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3064 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3065 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3066 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3067
3068 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3069 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3070 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3071 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3072 [Richard Levitte]
3073
3074 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3075 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3076 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3077 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3078 opensslconf.h.
3079 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3080 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3081 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3082 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3083 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3084 what is available.
3085 [Richard Levitte]
3086
3087 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3088 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3089 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3090 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3091 auto incremented.
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093
3094 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3095 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3096 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3097 [Steve Henson]
3098
3099 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3100 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3101 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3102 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3103 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3104 [Steve Henson]
3105
3106 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3107 [Steve Henson]
3108
3109 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3110 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3111 option to ocsp utility.
3112 [Steve Henson]
3113
3114 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3115 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3116 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3117 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3118 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3119 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3120 the request is nonce-less.
3121 [Steve Henson]
3122
3123 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3124 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3125 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3126 [Bodo Moeller]
3127
3128 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3129 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3130 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3131 [Steve Henson]
3132
3133 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3134 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3135 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3136 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3137 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3138 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3139
3140 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3141 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3142 appear to exist.
3143 [Steve Henson]
3144
3145 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3146 additional certificates supplied.
3147 [Steve Henson]
3148
3149 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3150 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3151 signature against.
3152 [Richard Levitte]
3153
3154 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3155 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3156 AES OIDs.
3157
3158 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3159 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3160 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3161 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3162 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3163 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3164 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3165 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3166 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3167
3168 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3169 request to response.
3170 [Steve Henson]
3171
3172 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3173 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3174 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3175 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3176 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3177 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3178 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3179 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3180 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3181 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3182 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3183 [Steve Henson]
3184
3185 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3186 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3187 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3188 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3189 [Steve Henson]
3190
3191 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3192 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3193
3194 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3195 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3196 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3197 [Steve Henson]
3198
3199 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3200 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3201 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3202 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3203 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3204
3205 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3206 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3207 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3208 [Steve Henson]
3209
3210 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3211 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3212 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3213 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3214 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3215 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3216 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3217 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3218
3219 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3220 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3221 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3222 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3223 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3224 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3225 [Steve Henson]
3226
3227 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3228 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3229 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3230 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3231 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3232 printout format cleaned up.
3233 [Steve Henson]
3234
3235 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3236 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3237 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3238 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3239 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3240 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3241 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3242 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3243 [Steve Henson]
3244
3245 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3246 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3247 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3248 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3249 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3250 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3251 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3252 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3253 [Steve Henson]
3254
3255 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3256 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3257 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3258 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3259 section to use.
3260 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3261
3262 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3263 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3264 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3265 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3266 [Steve Henson]
3267
3268 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3269 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3270 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3271 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3272 in the index file.
3273 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3274
3275 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3276 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3277 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3278 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3279
3280 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3281 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3282
3283 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3284 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3285 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3286 [Steve Henson]
3287
3288 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3289 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3290 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3291 [Bodo Moeller]
3292
3293 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3294 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3295 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3296 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3297 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3298 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3299 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3300 functions are provided:
3301
3302 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3303 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3304 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3305 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3306
3307 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3308 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3309 extended allocation function is enabled.
3310 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3311 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3312 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3313
3314 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3315 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3316 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3317 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3318 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3319 [Geoff Thorpe]
3320
3321 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3322 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3323 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3324 be queried.
3325 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3326 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3327 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3328 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3329
3330 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3331 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3332 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3333 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3334 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3335 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3336 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3337 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3338 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3339 [Richard Levitte]
3340
3341 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3342 provide utility functions which an application needing
3343 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3344 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3345 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3346
3347 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3348 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3349 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3350 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3351 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3352 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3353 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3354 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3355 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3356
3357 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3358 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3359 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3360 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3364 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3365 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3366 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3367 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3368 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3369 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3370 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3371 will be added elsewhere.
3372 [Steve Henson]
3373
3374 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3375 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3376 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3377 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3378 [Steve Henson]
3379
3380 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3381 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3382 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3383 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3384 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3385 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3386 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3387 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3388 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3389 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3390 to produce the required SET OF.
3391 [Steve Henson]
3392
3393 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3394 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3395 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3396 [Richard Levitte]
3397
3398 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3399 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3400 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3401 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3402 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3403 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3404 [Steve Henson]
3405
3406 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3407 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3408 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3409 [Steve Henson]
3410
3411 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3412 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3413 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3414 [Richard Levitte]
3415
3416 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3417 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3418 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3419 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3420 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3421 [Steve Henson]
3422
3423 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3424 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3425 [Steve Henson]
3426
3427 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3428 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3429 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3430 certifcates and CRLs.
3431 [Steve Henson]
3432
3433 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3434 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3435 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3436 [Steve Henson]
3437
3438 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3439 entries for variables.
3440 [Steve Henson]
3441
3442 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3443 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3444 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3445 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3446 [Bodo Moeller]
3447
3448 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3449 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3450 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3451 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3452 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3453 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3454 [Bodo Moeller]
3455
3456 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3457 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3458
3459 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3460 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3461 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3462 [Steve Henson]
3463
3464 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3465 print routines.
3466 [Steve Henson]
3467
3468 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3469 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3470 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3471 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3472 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3473 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3474 [Steve Henson]
3475
3476 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3477 [Steve Henson]
3478
3479 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3480 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3481 for now but they will eventually go away.
3482 [Steve Henson]
3483
3484 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3485 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3486 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3487 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3488 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3489 has also been converted to the new form.
3490 [Steve Henson]
3491
3492 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3493 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3494 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3495 for negative moduli.
3496 [Bodo Moeller]
3497
3498 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3499 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3500 [Bodo Moeller]
3501
3502 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3503 set.
3504 [Bodo Moeller]
3505
3506 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3507 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3508 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3509 type-specific callbacks.
3510 [Geoff Thorpe]
3511
3512 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3513 RFC 2712.
3514 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3515 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3516
3517 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3518 in sections depending on the subject.
3519 [Richard Levitte]
3520
3521 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3522 Windows.
3523 [Richard Levitte]
3524
3525 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3526 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3527 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3528 be handled deterministically).
3529 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3530
3531 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3532 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3533 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3534 [Bodo Moeller]
3535
3536 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3537 [Bodo Moeller]
3538
3539 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3540 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3541 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3542 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3543 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3544 [Bodo Moeller]
3545
3546 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3547 sign of the number in question.
3548
3549 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3550
3551 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3552 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3553 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3554 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3555 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3556 [Bodo Moeller]
3557
3558 *) New function BN_swap.
3559 [Bodo Moeller]
3560
3561 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3562 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3563 results on negative inputs.
3564 [Bodo Moeller]
3565
3566 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3567 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3568 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3569 [Bodo Moeller]
3570
3571 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3572 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3573 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3574 and add new functions:
3575
3576 BN_nnmod
3577 BN_mod_sqr
3578 BN_mod_add
3579 BN_mod_add_quick
3580 BN_mod_sub
3581 BN_mod_sub_quick
3582 BN_mod_lshift1
3583 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3584 BN_mod_lshift
3585 BN_mod_lshift_quick
3586
3587 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3588
3589 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3590 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3591
3592 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3593 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3594 be reduced modulo m.
3595 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3596
3597 #if 0
3598 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3599 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3600 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3601
3602 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3603 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3604 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3605 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3606 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3607 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3608 differing sizes.
3609 [Richard Levitte]
3610 #endif
3611
3612 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3613 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3614 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3615 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3616 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3617
3618 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3619 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3620 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3621 cause any problems.
3622 [Bodo Moeller]
3623
3624 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3625 [Richard Levitte]
3626
3627 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3628 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3629 [Richard Levitte]
3630
3631 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3632 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3633 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3634 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3635 time)
3636 [Richard Levitte]
3637
3638 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3639 [Richard Levitte]
3640
3641 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3642 [Richard Levitte]
3643
3644 *) Add the following functions:
3645
3646 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3647 ENGINE_load_chil()
3648 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3649 ENGINE_load_nuron()
3650 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3651
3652 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3653 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3654 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3655 libraries unless it's really needed.
3656
3657 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3658 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3659 declarations (they differed!).
3660 [Richard Levitte]
3661
3662 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3663 [Richard Levitte]
3664
3665 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3666 [Richard Levitte]
3667
3668 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3669 [Bodo Moeller]
3670
3671 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3672 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3673 [Richard Levitte]
3674
3675 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3676 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3677 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3678
3679 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3680 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3681 [Richard Levitte]
3682
3683 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3684 [Richard Levitte]
3685
3686 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3687 [Richard Levitte]
3688
3689 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3690 [Ben Laurie]
3691
3692 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3693 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3694 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3695
3696 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3697 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3698 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3699 different shared library filenames on each system.
3700 [Geoff Thorpe]
3701
3702 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3703 [Richard Levitte]
3704
3705 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3706 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3707 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3708 of two sections.
3709 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3710
3711 *) NCONF changes.
3712 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3713 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3714 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3715 binary backward compatibility.
3716 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3717 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3718 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3719 LDAP server.
3720 [Richard Levitte]
3721
3722 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3723 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3724 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3725 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3726 this case.
3727 [Steve Henson]
3728
3729 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3730 [Ben Laurie]
3731
3732 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3733 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3734 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3735 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3736 set.
3737 [Steve Henson]
3738
3739 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3740 [Richard Levitte]
3741
3742 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3743
3744 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3745 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3746 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3747
3748 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3749
3750 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3751
3752 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3753 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3754 [Steve Henson]
3755
3756 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3757
3758 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3759
3760 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3761 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3762
3763 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3764 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3765
3766 [Steve Henson]
3767
3768 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3769 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3770 specifications.
3771 [Steve Henson]
3772
3773 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3774 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3775 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3776 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3777
3778 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3779 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3780 [Richard Levitte]
3781
3782 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3783
3784 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3785 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3786 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3787 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3788 [Bodo Moeller]
3789
3790 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3791 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3792 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3793 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3794 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3795
3796 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3797 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3798 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3799 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3800 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3801 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3802 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3803 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3804 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3805 [Bodo Moeller]
3806
3807 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3808
3809 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3810 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3811 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3812 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3813 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3814
3815 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3816 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3817 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3818
3819 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3820
3821 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3822 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3823 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3824 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3825 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3826 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3827 [Geoff Thorpe]
3828
3829 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3830 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3831 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3832 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3833 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3834 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3835
3836 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3837 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3838 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3839
3840 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3841 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3842 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3843 EVP_cleanup().
3844 [Richard Levitte]
3845
3846 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3847 being properly terminated.
3848 [Richard Levitte]
3849
3850 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3851 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3852 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3853 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3854
3855 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3856 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3857 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3858 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3859 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3860 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3861 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3862 change.
3863 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3864
3865 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3866 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3867 [Bodo Moeller]
3868
3869 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3870 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3871 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3872 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3873 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3874 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3875 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().

3878 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3879 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3880 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3881 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3882 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3883
3884 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3885 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3886 [Steve Henson]
3887
3888 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3889
3890 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3891 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3892 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3893
3894 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3895
3896 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3897 and get fix the header length calculation.
3898 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3899 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3900 Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3903 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3904 assertions could call abort()).
3905 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3906
3907 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3908
3909 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3910 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3911 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3912 supplied buffer.
3913 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3914
3915 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3916 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3917 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3918 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3919
3920 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3921 [Nils Larsch]
3922
3923 *) New option
3924 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3925 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3926 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3927
3928 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3929 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3930 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3931 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3932 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3933 applications.
3934 [Bodo Moeller]
3935
3936 *) Changes in security patch:
3937
3938 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3939 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3940 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3941 F30602-01-2-0537.
3942
3943 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3944 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3945 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3946 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3947 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3948
3949 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3950 happen in practice.
3951 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3952
3953 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3954 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3955 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3956
3957 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3958 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3959 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3960
3961 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3962 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3963 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3964
3965 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3966
3967 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3968 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3969 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3970
3971 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3972 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3973
3974 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3975 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3976 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3977 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3978 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3979 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3980 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3981
3982 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3983 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3984 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3985 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3986 [Bodo Moeller]
3987
3988 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3989 [Bodo Moeller]
3990
3991 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3992 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3993 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3994 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3995 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3996 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3997
3998 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3999 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4000 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4001 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4002 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4003 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4004
4005 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4006 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4007 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4008 BN_generate_prime().)
4009
4010 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4011 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4012 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4013 better.
4014 [Bodo Moeller]
4015
4016 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4017 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4018 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4019
4020 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4021 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4022 when using non-blocking I/O.
4023 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4024
4025 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4026 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4027
4028 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4029 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4030 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4031
4032 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4033 configuration for the versions before that.
4034 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4035
4036 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4037 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4038 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4039 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4040 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4041
4042 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4043 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4044 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4045 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4046
4047 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4048 value is 0.
4049 [Richard Levitte]
4050
4051 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4052 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4053 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4054
4055 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4056 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4057
4058 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4059 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4060 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4061 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4062 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4063 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4064 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4065 session cache.
4066
4067 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4068 using a local variable.
4069 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4070
4071 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4072 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4073 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4074
4075 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4076 [Richard Levitte]
4077
4078 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4079 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4080
4081 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4082 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4083 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4084
4085 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4086
4087 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4088 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4089 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4090 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4091 [Bodo Moeller]
4092
4093 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4094 present.
4095 [Steve Henson]
4096
4097 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4098 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4099 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4100 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4101 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4102
4103 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4104 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4105 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4106
4107 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4108 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4109 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4110
4111 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4112 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4113 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4114 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4115
4116 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4117 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4118 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4119 modules).
4120 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4121
4122 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4123 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4124 from 0.9.7.
4125 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4126
4127 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4128 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4129 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4130 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4131
4132 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4133 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4134 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4135 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4136
4137 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4138 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4139
4140 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4141 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4142 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4143 [Bodo Moeller]
4144
4145 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4146 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4147 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4148 become invalid.
4149 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4150
4151 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4152 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4153 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4154 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4155 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4156 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4157 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4158 [Bodo Moeller]
4159
4160 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4161 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4162 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4163 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4164
4165 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4166 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4167 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4168 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4169 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4170 the client will at least see that alert.
4171 [Bodo Moeller]
4172
4173 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4174 correctly.
4175 [Bodo Moeller]
4176
4177 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4178 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4179 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4180
4181 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4182 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4183 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4184 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4185 HelloRequest.
4186
4187 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4188 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4189 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4190
4191 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4192 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4193 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4194 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4195 may leak via logfiles.)
4196
4197 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4198 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4199 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4200 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4201 the legal range.
4202 [Bodo Moeller]
4203
4204 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4205 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4206 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4207
4208 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4209 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4210 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4211 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4212 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4213 [Bodo Moeller]
4214
4215 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4216 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4217
4218 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4219 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4220 followed by modular reduction.
4221 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4222
4223 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4224 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4225 [Bodo Moeller]
4226
4227 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4228 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4229 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4230 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4231 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4232
4233 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4234 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4235
4236 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4237 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4238 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4239
4240 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4241 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4242 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4243 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4244 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4245 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4246 automatically.
4247 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4248
4249 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4250 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4251 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4252 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4253 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4254
4255 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4256 [Andy Polyakov]
4257
4258 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4259 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4260 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4261 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4262 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4263 to allow the necessary settings.
4264 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4265
4266 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4267 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4268 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4269 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4270 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4271
4272 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4273 dh->length and always used
4274
4275 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4276
4277 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4278 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4279 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4280 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4281 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4282 dh->length.
4283
4284 So switch back to
4285
4286 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4287
4288 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4289 otherwise.
4290 [Bodo Moeller]
4291
4292 *) In
4293
4294 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4295 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4296 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4297 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4298
4299 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4300 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4301 always reject numbers >= n.
4302 [Bodo Moeller]
4303
4304 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4305 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4306 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4307 variable) is not atomic.
4308 [Bodo Moeller]
4309
4310 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4311 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4312 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4313 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4314
4315 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4316 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4317
4318 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4319 little-endian MIPS.
4320 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4321
4322 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4323 [Richard Levitte]
4324
4325 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4326
4327 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4328 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4329 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4330 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4331 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4332 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4333 to traverse all of 'state'.
4334
4335 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4336 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4337 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4338
4339 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4340 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4341
4342 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4343 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4344 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4345 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4346 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4347 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4348 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4349 further strengthens the PRNG.
4350 [Bodo Moeller]
4351
4352 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4353 [Andy Polyakov]
4354
4355 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4356 an error message in this case.
4357 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4358
4359 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4360 [Steve Henson]
4361
4362 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4363 positive and less than q.
4364 [Bodo Moeller]
4365
4366 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4367 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4368 that itself.
4369 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4370
4371 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4372 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4373 [Bodo Moeller]
4374
4375 *) Fix OAEP check.
4376 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4377
4378 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4379 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4380 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4381 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4382 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4383 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4384 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4385 paper.)
4386
4387 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4388 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4389 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4390 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4391
4392 Both problems are now fixed.
4393 [Bodo Moeller]
4394
4395 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4396 (previously it was 1024).
4397 [Bodo Moeller]
4398
4399 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4400 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4401 [Steve Henson]
4402
4403 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4404 [Steve Henson]
4405
4406 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4407 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4408 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4409 [Steve Henson]
4410
4411 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4412 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4413 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4414 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4415 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4416 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4417 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4418 environment variables.
4419
4420 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4421 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4422 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4423 [Bodo Moeller]
4424
4425 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4426 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4427 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4428 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4429 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4430 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4431 [Bodo Moeller]
4432
4433 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4434 versions of 'test'.
4435 [Bodo Moeller]
4436
4437 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4438
4439 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4440 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4441
4442 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4443 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4444 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4445 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4446 CygWin.
4447 [Richard Levitte]
4448
4449 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4450 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4451 amount of data available.
4452 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4453 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4454
4455 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4456 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4457 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4458 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4459 [Bodo Moeller]
4460
4461 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4462 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4463 and UnixWare.
4464 [Richard Levitte]
4465
4466 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4467 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4468 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4469 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4470 [Ulf Moeller]
4471
4472 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4473 [Andy Polyakov]
4474
4475 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4476 [Richard Levitte]
4477
4478 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4479 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4480 [Steve Henson]
4481 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4482
4483 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4484 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4485 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4486 (but broken) behaviour.
4487 [Steve Henson]
4488
4489 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4490 it when found.
4491 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4492
4493 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4494 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4495 [Bodo Moeller]
4496
4497 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4498 did not exist.
4499 [Bodo Moeller]
4500
4501 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4502 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4503
4504 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4505 [Richard Levitte]
4506
4507 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4508 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4509 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4510
4511 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4512 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4513 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4514 [Steve Henson]
4515
4516 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4517 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4518 [Ulf Moeller]
4519
4520 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4521 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4522
4523 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4524
4525 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4526
4527 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4528 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4529 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4530 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4531 [Bodo Moeller]
4532
4533 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4534 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4535
4536 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4537 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4538 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4539
4540 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4541 was empty.
4542 [Steve Henson]
4543 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4544
4545 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4546 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4547 but the code is actually correct.
4548 [Steve Henson]
4549
4550 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4551 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4552 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4553 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4554 and leaves the highest bit random.
4555 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4556
4557 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4558 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4559 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4560 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4561 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4562 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4563 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4564 [Bodo Moeller]
4565
4566 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4567 [Ulf Moeller]
4568
4569 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4570 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4571 [Steve Henson]
4572
4573 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4574 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4575 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4576 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4577 headers.
4578 [Richard Levitte]
4579
4580 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4581 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4582 and break the signature.
4583 [Steve Henson]
4584 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4585
4586 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4587 DH ciphersuites.
4588 [Steve Henson]
4589
4590 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4591 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4592 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4593 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4594 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4595 [Bodo Moeller]
4596
4597 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4598 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4599
4600 *) ./config script fixes.
4601 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4602
4603 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4604 [Bodo Moeller]
4605
4606 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4607 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4608 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4609 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4610 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4611
4612 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4613 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4614 [Bodo Moeller]
4615
4616 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4617 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4618 [Steve Henson]
4619
4620 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4621 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4622 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4623 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4624
4625 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4626 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4627
4628 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4629 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4630 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4631 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4632 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4633
4634 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4635 [Bodo Moeller]
4636
4637 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4638 [Ulf Möller]
4639
4640 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4641 [Ulf Möller]
4642
4643 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4644 [Bodo Moeller]
4645
4646 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4647 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4648 [Bodo Moeller]
4649
4650 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4651 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4652 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4653 result of the server certificate verification.)
4654 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4655
4656 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4657 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4658 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4659 [Bodo Moeller]
4660
4661 *) Fix SSL_peek:
4662 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4663 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4664 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4665 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4666 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4667 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4668 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4669 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4670 [Bodo Moeller]
4671
4672 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4673 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4674 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4675 happening the other way round.
4676 [Geoff Thorpe]
4677
4678 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4679 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4680 [Bodo Moeller]
4681
4682 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4683 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4684 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4685 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4686 [Richard Levitte]
4687
4688 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4689 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4690
4691 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4692
4693 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4694 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4695 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4696 that.
4697
4698 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4699
4700 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4701
4702 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4703 static ones.
4704 [Richard Levitte]
4705
4706 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4707
4708 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4709 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4710 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4711 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4712 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4713
4714 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4715 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4716 matter what.
4717 [Richard Levitte]
4718
4719 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4720 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4721
4722 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4723
4724 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4725 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4726 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4727 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4728 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4729 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4730 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4731 by the Finished messages.
4732 [Bodo Moeller]
4733
4734 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4735 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4736
4737 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4738 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4739 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4740 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4741 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4742 appropriately.
4743 [Steve Henson]
4744
4745 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4746 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4747 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4748 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4749 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4750 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4751 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4752 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4753 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4754 together.
4755 [Steve Henson]
4756
4757 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4758 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4759 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4760 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4761
4762 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4763 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4764 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4765 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4766 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4767 the answer.
4768
4769 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4770 been tested well enough.
4771 [Richard Levitte]
4772
4773 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4774 it can return incorrect results.
4775 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4776 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4777 [Bodo Moeller]
4778
4779 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4780 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4781 include zero length content when signing messages.
4782 [Steve Henson]
4783
4784 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4785 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4786 [Bodo Möller]
4787
4788 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4789 [Richard Levitte]
4790
4791 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4792 wrong sign.
4793 [Ulf Möller]
4794
4795 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4796 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4797 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4798 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4799 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4800 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4801 [Richard Levitte]
4802
4803 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4804 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4805
4806 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4807 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4808
4809 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4810 random number < q in the DSA library.
4811 [Ulf Möller]
4812
4813 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4814 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4815 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4816 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4817 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4818 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4819 just makes things more complicated.)
4820 [Bodo Moeller]
4821
4822 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4823 from EGD.
4824 [Ben Laurie]
4825
4826 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4827 work better on such systems.
4828 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4829
4830 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4831 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4832 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4833 [Steve Henson]
4834
4835 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4836 if there was more than one signature.
4837 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4838
4839 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4840 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4841 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4842 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4843 [Richard Levitte]
4844
4845 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4846 rather than always using the current time.
4847 [Steve Henson]
4848
4849 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4850 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4851 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4852 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4853 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4854 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4855
4856 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4857 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4858
4859 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4860
4861 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4862 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4863 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4864 the same hash value.
4865
4866 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4867 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4868 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4869 with X509_STORE internally.
4870
4871 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4872 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4873
4874 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4875 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4876 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4877 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4878 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4879 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4880 entirely (maybe later...).
4881
4882 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4883
4884 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4885 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4886 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4887 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4888 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4889 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4890 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4891 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4892
4893 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4894 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4895
4896 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4897 to customise the verify behaviour.
4898 [Steve Henson]
4899
4900 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4901 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4902 [Steve Henson]
4903
4904 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4905 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4906 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4907 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4908 request is improperly encoded.
4909 [Steve Henson]
4910
4911 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4912 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4913 BIO_write(b, ...).
4914
4915 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4916 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4917
4918 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4919 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4920 words set to zero.)
4921 [Bodo Moeller]
4922
4923 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4924 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4925 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4926 [Bodo Moeller]
4927
4928 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4929 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4930 BIO/fp routines also added.
4931 [Steve Henson]
4932
4933 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4934 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4935
4936 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4937 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4938 demos/state_machine.
4939 [Ben Laurie]
4940
4941 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4942 generation and verification.
4943 [Steve Henson]
4944
4945 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4946 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4947 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4948 encode and decode it manually.
4949 [Steve Henson]
4950
4951 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4952 compile under VC++.
4953 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4954
4955 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4956 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4957 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4958 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4959
4960 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4961 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4962 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4963 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4964 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4965 [Steve Henson]
4966
4967 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4968 [Richard Levitte]
4969
4970 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4971 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4972 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4973
4974 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4975 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4976 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4977 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4978 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4979 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4980 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4981 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4982
4983 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4984 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4985
4986 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4987
4988 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4989 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4990 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4991
4992 [Richard Levitte]
4993
4994 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4995 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4996 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4997 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4998 [Richard Levitte]
4999
5000 *) MD4 implemented.
5001 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5002
5003 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5004 [Richard Levitte]
5005
5006 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5007 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5008 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5009 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5010 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5011 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5012 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5013 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5014 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5015 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5016 short or long names are found.
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5020 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5021
5022 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5023 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5024 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5025 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5026
5027 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5028 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5029 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5030 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5031 [Bodo Moeller]
5032
5033 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5034 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5035 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5036 [Richard Levitte]
5037
5038 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5039 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5040 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5041 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5042 to allow the various flags to be set.
5043 [Steve Henson]
5044
5045 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5046 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5047 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5048 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5049 dates to be checked.
5050 [Steve Henson]
5051
5052 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5053 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5054 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5055 [Steve Henson]
5056
5057 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5058 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5059 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5060 [Steve Henson]
5061
5062 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5063 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5064 [Bodo Moeller]
5065
5066 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5067 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5068 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5069 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5070 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5071 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5072 [Richard Levitte]
5073
5074 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5075 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5076 Random Numbers.
5077 [Ulf Möller]
5078
5079 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5080 DSA key.
5081 [Steve Henson]
5082
5083 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5084 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5085 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5086 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5087 form signing output easier to verify.
5088 [Steve Henson]
5089
5090 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5091 [Steve Henson]
5092
5093 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5094 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5095 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5096 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5097 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5098 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5099 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5100 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5101 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5102 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5103 [Steve Henson]
5104
5105 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5106
5107 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5108 the syntax given in objects.README.
5109 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5110 obj_mac.h.
5111 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5112 obj_mac.h.
5113
5114 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5115 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5116 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5117 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5118 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5119 consistent name changes.
5120 [Richard Levitte]
5121
5122 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5123 [Bodo Moeller]
5124
5125 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5126 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5127 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5128 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5129 [Richard Levitte]
5130
5131 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5132 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5133 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5134 of safestack.h .
5135 [Steve Henson]
5136
5137 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5138 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5139 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5140 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5141 [Steve Henson]
5142
5143 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5144 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5145 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5146 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5147 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5148 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5149 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5150 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5151 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5152 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5153 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5154 [Steve Henson]
5155
5156 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5157 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5158 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5159 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5160 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5161 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5162 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5163 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5164 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5165 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5166 [Steve Henson]
5167
5168 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5169 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5170 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5171 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5172
5173 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5174 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5175 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5176 omit any duplicate addresses.
5177 [Steve Henson]
5178
5179 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5180 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5181 [Bodo Moeller]
5182
5183 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5184 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5185 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5186 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5187 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5188 [Bodo Moeller]
5189
5190 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5191 software:
5192 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5193 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5194 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5195 Free => OPENSSL_free
5196 [Richard Levitte]
5197
5198 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5199 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5200 [Bodo Moeller]
5201
5202 *) CygWin32 support.
5203 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5204
5205 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5206 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5207 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5208 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5209 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5210 approach.
5211 [Geoff Thorpe]
5212
5213 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5214 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5215 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5216 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5217 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5218 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5219 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5220 [Geoff Thorpe]
5221
5222 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5223 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5224 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5225 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5226 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5227 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5228 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5229 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5230 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5231 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5232 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5233 [Bodo Moeller]
5234
5235 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5236 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5237 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5238 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5239 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5240
5241 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5242 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5243 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5244 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5245 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5246
5247 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5248 ciphers.
5249
5250 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5251 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5252 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5253 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5254
5255 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5256
5257 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5258 of macros.
5259
5260 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5261 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5262 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5263 flags.
5264
5265 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5266 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5267 any installed hardware versions can.
5268 [Steve Henson]
5269
5270 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5271 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5272 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5273 number.
5274 [Bodo Moeller]
5275
5276 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5277 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5278 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5279 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5280 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5281
5282 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5283 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5284 [Steve Henson]
5285
5286 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5287 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5288 [Richard Levitte]
5289
5290 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5291 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5292 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5293 features.
5294 [Steve Henson]
5295
5296 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5297 [Ulf Möller]
5298
5299 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5300 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5301 but no ssl client purpose.
5302 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5303
5304 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5305 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5306 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5307 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5308 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5309 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5310 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5311 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5312 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5313 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5314 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5315 [Steve Henson]
5316
5317 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5318 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5319 be obtained from the error queue.
5320 [Bodo Moeller]
5321
5322 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5323 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5324 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5325 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5326 [Bodo Moeller]
5327
5328 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5329 [Ulf Möller]
5330
5331 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5332 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5333 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5334 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5335 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5336 [Geoff Thorpe]
5337
5338 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5339 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5340 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5341 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5342 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5343 [Geoff Thorpe]
5344
5345 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5346 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5347 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5348 may not be NULL.
5349 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5350
5351 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5352 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5353 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5354 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5355 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5356 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5357 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5358 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5359 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5360 or "the configuration storage API"...
5361
5362 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5363
5364 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5365 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5366
5367 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5368
5369 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5370
5371 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5372 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5373 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5374 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5375 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5376 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5377 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5378
5379 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5380 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5381 [Richard Levitte]
5382
5383 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5384 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5385 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5386 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5387 [Bodo Moeller]
5388
5389 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5390 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5391 them in a portable way.
5392 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5393
5394 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5395
5396 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5397
5398 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5399 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5400
5401 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5402 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5403 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5404 <attili@amaxo.com>]
5405
5406 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5407 was larger than the MD block size.
5408 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5409
5410 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5411 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5412 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5413 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5414 components.
5415 [Steve Henson]
5416
5417 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5418 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5419 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5420
5421 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5422 discouraged.
5423 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5424
5425 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5426 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5427 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5428 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5429 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5430 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5431
5432 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5433 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5434
5435 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5436 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5437 [Bodo Moeller]
5438
5439 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5440 [Bodo Moeller]
5441
5442 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5443 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5444 its own key.
5445 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5446 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5447 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5448 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5449 [Bodo Moeller]
5450
5451 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5452 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5453 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5454 does not suppress any output.
5455 [Richard Levitte]
5456
5457 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5458 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5459 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5460 with all the associated security issues.
5461
5462 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5463 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5464 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5465 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5466 use the value in the default purpose.
5467 [Steve Henson]
5468
5469 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5470 and fix a memory leak.
5471 [Steve Henson]
5472
5473 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5474 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5475 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5476 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5477 [Bodo Moeller]
5478
5479 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5480 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5481 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5482 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5483 [Bodo Moeller]
5484
5485 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5486 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5487 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5488 [Bodo Moeller]
5489
5490 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5491 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5492 [Bodo Moeller]
5493
5494 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5495 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5496 which was free.
5497 [Steve Henson]
5498
5499 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5500 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5501 [Bodo Moeller]
5502
5503 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5504 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5505 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5506 [Bodo Moeller]
5507
5508 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5509 number generation fails.
5510 [Bodo Moeller]
5511
5512 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5513 [Bodo Moeller]
5514
5515 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5516 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5517
5518 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5519 [Ulf Möller]
5520
5521 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5522 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5523
5524 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5525 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5526
5527 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5528
5529 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5530 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5531 [Steve Henson]
5532
5533 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5534 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5535
5536 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5537 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5538 [Ulf Möller]
5539
5540 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5541 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5542 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5543 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5544 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5545 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5546
5547 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5548 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5549 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5550 for example.
5551 [Steve Henson]
5552
5553 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5554 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5555 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5556 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5557 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5558 counter, some don't.)
5559 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5560 counters or duplicate objects.
5561 [Steve Henson]
5562
5563 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5564 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5565 [Steve Henson]
5566
5567 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5568 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5569 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5570
5571 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5572 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5573 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5574 or -rand.
5575 [Ulf Möller]
5576
5577 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5578 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5579 [Steve Henson]
5580
5581 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5582 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5583 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5584 cipher list.
5585 [Steve Henson]
5586
5587 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5588 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5589 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5590 [Steve Henson]
5591
5592 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5593 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5594 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5595 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5596 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5597 should work without changes.
5598 [Richard Levitte]
5599
5600 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5601 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5602 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5603 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5604 must be defined. E.g.,
5605 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5606 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5607 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5608 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5609
5610 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5611 record layer.
5612 [Bodo Moeller]
5613
5614 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5615 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5616 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5617 [Steve Henson]
5618
5619 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5620 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5621 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5622 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5623 [Steve Henson]
5624
5625 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5626 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5627 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5628 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5629 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5630 is prompted for as usual.
5631 [Steve Henson]
5632
5633 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5634 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5635 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5636 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5637
5638 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5639 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5640 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5641 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5642 [Steve Henson]
5643
5644 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5645 [Andy Polyakov]
5646
5647 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5648 of seed file.
5649 [Steve Henson]
5650
5651 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5652 [Bodo Moeller]
5653
5654 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5655 [Steve Henson]
5656
5657 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5658 bits.
5659 [Ulf Möller]
5660
5661 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5662 [Ulf Möller]
5663
5664 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5665 [Andy Polyakov]
5666
5667 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5668 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5669 [Ulf Möller]
5670
5671 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5672 options to produce them.
5673 [Steve Henson]
5674
5675 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5676 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5677 [Ulf Möller]
5678
5679 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5680 for p == 0.
5681 [Ulf Möller]
5682
5683 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5684 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5685 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5686 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5687 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5688 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5689 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5690 [Steve Henson]
5691
5692 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5693 [Steve Henson]
5694
5695 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5696 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5697 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5698 [Bodo Moeller]
5699
5700 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5701 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5702
5703 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5704 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5705 [Ulf Möller]
5706
5707 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5708 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5709 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5710 has already seen).
5711 [Bodo Moeller]
5712
5713 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5714 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5715
5716 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5717 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5718 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5719 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5720 generation becomes much faster.
5721
5722 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5723 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5724 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5725 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5726 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5727 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5728 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5729 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5730 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5731 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5732 [Bodo Moeller]
5733
5734 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5735 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5736 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5737 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5738 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5739 trial division stage.
5740 [Bodo Moeller]
5741
5742 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5743 as ASN1_TIME.
5744 [Steve Henson]
5745
5746 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5747 [Steve Henson]
5748
5749 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5750 [Ulf Möller]
5751
5752 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5753 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5754 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5755 the comments.
5756 [Ulf Möller]
5757
5758 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5759 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5760 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5761 [Bodo Moeller]
5762
5763 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5764 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5765 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5766 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5767
5768 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5769 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5770 [Steve Henson]
5771
5772 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5773 [Ulf Möller]
5774
5775 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5776 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5777 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5778 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5779 [Ulf Möller]
5780
5781 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5782 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5783 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5784 [Ulf Möller]
5785
5786 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5787 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5788 (instead of parameters) in future.
5789 [Steve Henson]
5790
5791 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5792 when a new cipher list is set.
5793 [Steve Henson]
5794
5795 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5796 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5797 wrong.
5798
5799 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5800 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5801 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5802
5803 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5804 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5805 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5806 an error is flagged.
5807
5808 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5809 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5810 the readability was also increased :-)
5811 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5812
5813 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5814 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5815 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5816 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5817 as the root CA.
5818 [Steve Henson]
5819
5820 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5821 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5822 [Steve Henson]
5823
5824 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5825 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5826 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5827 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5828 instead.
5829
5830 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5831 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5832 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5833 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5834 because they handle more complex structures.)
5835 [Steve Henson]
5836
5837 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5838 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5839 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5840 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5841
5842 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5843 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5844 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5845 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5846 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5847 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5848 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5849 [Ulf Möller]
5850
5851 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5852 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5853 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5854 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5855 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5856 [Bodo Moeller]
5857
5858 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5859 [Bodo Moeller]
5860
5861 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5862 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5863 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5864 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5865 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5866 to use this.
5867
5868 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5869 code.
5870 [Steve Henson]
5871
5872 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5873 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5874 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5875 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5876 [Steve Henson]
5877
5878 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5879 [Ulf Möller]
5880
5881 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5882 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5883 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5884 international characters are used.
5885
5886 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5887 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5888 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5889 in ASN1 order.
5890 [Steve Henson]
5891
5892 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5893 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5894 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5895 request.
5896
5897 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5898 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5899 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5900 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5901 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5902 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5903
5904 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5905 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5906 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5907 be handled by the string table functions.
5908
5909 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5910 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5911 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5912 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5913 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5914 types at all.
5915 [Steve Henson]
5916
5917 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5918 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5919 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5920 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5921 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5922
5923 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5924 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5925 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5926 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5927 [Bodo Moeller]
5928
5929 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5930 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5931 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5932 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5933 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5934 SHA1.
5935 [Andy Polyakov]
5936
5937 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5938 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5939 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5940 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5941 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5942 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5943 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5944 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5945
5946 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5947 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5948 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5949 [Steve Henson]
5950
5951 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5952 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5953 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5954 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5955 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5956 support to pkcs8 application.
5957 [Steve Henson]
5958
5959 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5960 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5961 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5962 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5963 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5964 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5965 [Bodo Moeller]
5966
5967 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5968 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5969 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5970 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5971 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5972 consistency.
5973 [Bodo Moeller]
5974
5975 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5976 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5977 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5978 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5979 example.
5980 [Steve Henson]
5981
5982 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5983 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5984 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5985 and any application specific purposes.
5986
5987 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5988 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5989 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5990 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5991 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5992 if the certificate is self signed.
5993 [Steve Henson]
5994
5995 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5996 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5997 [Steve Henson]
5998
5999 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6000 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6001 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6002 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6003 [Steve Henson]
6004
6005 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6006 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6007 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6008 Update documentation.
6009 [Steve Henson]
6010
6011 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6012 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6013 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6014 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6015 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6016 [Steve Henson]
6017
6018 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6019 for details.
6020 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6021
6022 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6023 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6024 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6025 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6026 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6027 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6028 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6029 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6030 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6031 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6032
6033 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6034
6035 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6036 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6037 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6038 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6039 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6040
6041 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6042 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6043 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6044 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6045 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6046 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6047 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6048 request additional information:
6049 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6050 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6051
6052 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6053 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6054 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6055 options.
6056
6057 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6058 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6059
6060 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6061 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6062 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6063
6064 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6065 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6066
6067 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6068 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6069 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6070 algorithm.
6071 [Steve Henson]
6072
6073 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6074 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6075 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6076
6077 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6078 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6079 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6080 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6081 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6082 included in OpenSSL.
6083 [Steve Henson]
6084
6085 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6086 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6087 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6088 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6089 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6090 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6091 [Bodo Moeller]
6092
6093 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6094 PKCS12 structure.
6095 [Steve Henson]
6096
6097 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6098 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6099 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6100 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6101 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6102 structure.
6103 [Steve Henson]
6104
6105 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6106 need initialising.
6107 [Steve Henson]
6108
6109 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6110 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6111 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6112 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6113 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6114 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6115 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6116 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6117 be maintained manually.
6118
6119 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6120 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6121 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6122 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6123 work because people forget to call this function]
6124 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6125 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6126 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6127 [Steve Henson]
6128
6129 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6130 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6131 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6132 should be discouraged from doing it.
6133 [Ben Laurie]
6134
6135 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6136 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6137 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6138 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6139 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6140 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6141 [Steve Henson]
6142
6143 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6144 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6145 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6146
6147 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6148 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6149 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6150
6151 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6152 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6153 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6154 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6155 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6156 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6157
6158 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6159 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6160 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6161
6162 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6163 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6164 and vice versa.
6165
6166 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6167 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6168 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6169 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6170 [Steve Henson]
6171
6172 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6173 [Steve Henson]
6174
6175 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6176 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6177 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6178 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6179 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6180 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6181 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6182 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6183 keys so we should be OK.
6184
6185 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6186 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6187 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6188 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6189 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6190 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6191 stay in the name of compatibility.
6192
6193 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6194 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6195 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6196
6197 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6198 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6199 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6200 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6201 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6202 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6203 supplied key).
6204 [Steve Henson]
6205
6206 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6207 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6208 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6209 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6210 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6211 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6212 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6213 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6214 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6215 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6216 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6217 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6218 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6219 [Steve Henson]
6220
6221 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6222 [Steve Henson]
6223
6224 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6225 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6226 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6227 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6228 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6229 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6230 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6231 openssl verify ss.pem
6232 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6233 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6234 is OK.
6235 [Steve Henson]
6236
6237 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6238 (and add it to external session representation).
6239 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6240 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6241 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6242 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6243 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6244 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6245 security holes.
6246 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6247
6248 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6249 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6250 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6251 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6252
6253 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6254 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6255 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6256 [Steve Henson]
6257
6258 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6259 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6260 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6261 code.
6262 [Steve Henson]
6263
6264 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6265 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6266 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6267
6268 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6269 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6270 certificate auxiliary information.
6271 [Steve Henson]
6272
6273 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6274 the 'enc' command.
6275 [Steve Henson]
6276
6277 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6278 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6279 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6280 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6281 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6282 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6283 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6284 [Richard Levitte]
6285
6286 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6287 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6288 [Steve Henson]
6289
6290 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6291 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6292 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6293 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6294 [Steve Henson]
6295
6296 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6297 [Steve Henson]
6298
6299 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6300 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6301 [Steve Henson]
6302
6303 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6304 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6305 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6306 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6307 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6308 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6309 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6310 using the new 'x509' options.
6311
6312 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6313 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6314 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6315 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6316 for all purposes.
6317 [Steve Henson]
6318
6319 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6320 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6321 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6322 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6323 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6324 [Mark Cox]
6325
6326 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6327 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6328 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6329 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6330 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6331 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6332 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6333 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6334 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6335 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6336 [Steve Henson]
6337
6338 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6339 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6340 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6341 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6342 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6343 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6344 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6345 [Steve Henson]
6346
6347 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6348 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6349 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6350 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6351 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6352 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6353 openssl.cnf for more info.
6354 [Steve Henson]
6355
6356 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6357 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6358 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6359 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6360 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6361 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6362 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6363 md should be large enough anyway.
6364 [Bodo Moeller]
6365
6366 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6367 for handling the random seed file.
6368
6369 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6370 ca,
6371 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6372 s_client,
6373 s_server,
6374 x509 (when signing).
6375 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6376 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6377 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6378
6379 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6380 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6381 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6382 that support '-rand'.
6383 [Bodo Moeller]
6384
6385 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6386 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6387 [Bodo Moeller]
6388
6389 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6390 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6391 [Bill Perry]
6392
6393 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6394 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6395 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6396 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6397 is suitable.
6398 [Steve Henson]
6399
6400 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6401 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6402 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6403 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6404 [Steve Henson]
6405
6406 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6407 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6408 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6409 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6410 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6411 print out all the purposes.
6412 [Steve Henson]
6413
6414 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6415 functions.
6416 [Steve Henson]
6417
6418 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6419 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6420 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6421 single function call.
6422 [Steve Henson]
6423
6424 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6425 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6426 [Andy Polyakov]
6427
6428 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6429 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6430 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6431 [Steve Henson]
6432
6433 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6434 when producing the local key id.
6435 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6436
6437 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6438 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6439 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6440 "server.pem".
6441 [Steve Henson]
6442
6443 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6444 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6445 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6446 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6447 [Steve Henson]
6448
6449 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6450 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6451 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6452 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6453
6454 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6455 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6456 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6457 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6458
6459 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6460 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6461 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6462 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6463 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6464 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6465 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6466 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6467 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6468 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6469 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6470 trivial: move one line.
6471 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6472
6473 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6474 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6475 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6476 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6477 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6478 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6479 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6480 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6481 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6482 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6483 with an event loop for example.
6484 [Steve Henson]
6485
6486 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6487 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6488 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6489 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6490 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6491 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6492 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6493 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6494 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6495 [Steve Henson]
6496
6497 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6498 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6499 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6500 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6501 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6502 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6503 [Steve Henson]
6504
6505 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6506 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6507 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6508 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6509
6510 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6511 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6512 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6513 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6514 key generation.
6515 [Steve Henson]
6516
6517 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6518 (still largely untested)
6519 [Bodo Moeller]
6520
6521 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6522 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6523 [Steve Henson]
6524
6525 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6526 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6527 [Steve Henson]
6528
6529 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6530 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6531 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6532 [Bodo Moeller]
6533
6534 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6535 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6536 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6537 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6538 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6539 [Steve Henson]
6540
6541 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6542 [Andy Polyakov]
6543
6544 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6545 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6546 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6547 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6548 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6549 in ca.
6550 [Steve Henson]
6551
6552 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6553 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6554 1.OU="Unit name 1"
6555 2.OU="Unit name 2"
6556 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6557 [Steve Henson]
6558
6559 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6560 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6561 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6562 are otherwise ignored at present.
6563 [Steve Henson]
6564
6565 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6566 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6567 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6568 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6569 copied until the next read.
6570 [Steve Henson]
6571
6572 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6573 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6574 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6575 [Steve Henson]
6576
6577 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6578 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6579 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6580 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6581 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6582 associated functions.
6583 [Steve Henson]
6584
6585 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6586 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6587 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6588 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6589 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6590 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6591 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6592 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6593 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6594 memory BIOs.
6595 [Steve Henson]
6596
6597 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6598 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6599 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6600 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6601 [Bodo Moeller]
6602
6603 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6604 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6605 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6606 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6607 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6608 functionality.
6609 [Steve Henson]
6610
6611 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6612 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6613 under Win32.
6614 [Steve Henson]
6615
6616 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6617 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6618 extensions to be obtained and added.
6619 [Steve Henson]
6620
6621 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6622 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6623 [Bodo Moeller]
6624
6625 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6626
6627 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6629
6630 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6631 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6632
6633 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6634 program.
6635 [Steve Henson]
6636
6637 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6638 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6639 DH parameters contain its length).
6640
6641 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6642 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6643 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6644 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6645 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6646 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6647 utter importance to use
6648 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6649 or
6650 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6651 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6652 attacks may become possible!
6653 [Bodo Moeller]
6654
6655 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6656 [Bodo Moeller]
6657
6658 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6659 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6660 [Steve Henson]
6661
6662 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6663 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6664 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6665 or long name.
6666 [Steve Henson]
6667
6668 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6669 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6670 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6671 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6672 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6673 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6674 private key operations.
6675 [Steve Henson]
6676
6677 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6678 [Andy Polyakov]
6679
6680 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6681 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6682 to
6683 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6684 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6685 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6686 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6687 the password callback is called.
6688 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6689
6690 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6691
6692 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6693 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6694 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6695 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6696 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6697 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6698 this will work.
6699
6700 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6701 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6702 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6703 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6704 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6705 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6706 [Bodo Moeller]
6707
6708 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6709 [Andy Polyakov]
6710
6711 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6712 delete an unused file.
6713 [Ulf Möller]
6714
6715 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6716 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6717 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6718 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6719 [Steve Henson]
6720
6721 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6722 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6723 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6724 of an error.
6725 [Bodo Moeller]
6726
6727 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6728 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6729 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6730
6731 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6732 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6733 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6734 comparison" warnings.
6735 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6736 [Steve Henson]
6737
6738 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6739 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6740 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6741 [Steve Henson]
6742
6743 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6744 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6745
6746 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6747 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6748
6749 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6750 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6751 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6752
6753 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6754 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6755 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6756 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6757 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6758 this bug.
6759 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6760
6761 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6762 The interface is as follows:
6763 Applications can use
6764 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6765 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6766 "off" is now the default.
6767 The library internally uses
6768 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6769 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6770 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6771
6772 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6773 even the default) are now avoided.
6774
6775 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6776 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6777 than just having a counter.
6778
6779 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6780
6781 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6782 extensions.
6783 [Bodo Moeller]
6784
6785 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6786 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6787 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6788 Initial "mode" flags are:
6789
6790 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6791 a single record has been written.
6792 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6793 retries use the same buffer location.
6794 (But all of the contents must be
6795 copied!)
6796 [Bodo Moeller]
6797
6798 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6799 worked.
6800
6801 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6802 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6803
6804 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6805 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6806 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6807 [Steve Henson]
6808
6809 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6810 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6811 test programs.
6812 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6813
6814 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6815 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6816 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6817 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6818 point to the end.
6819 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6820 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6821
6822 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6823 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6824 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6825 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6826 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6827 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6828 [Steve Henson]
6829
6830 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6831 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6832 necessary function names.
6833 [Steve Henson]
6834
6835 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6836 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6837 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6838 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6839 [Bodo Moeller]
6840
6841 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6842 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6843 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6844 [Steve Henson]
6845
6846 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6847 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6848 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6849 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6850 such programs?)
6851 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6852 need locks.
6853 [Bodo Moeller]
6854
6855 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6856 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6857 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6858 [Bodo Moeller]
6859
6860 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6861 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6862 appropriate.
6863 [Bodo Moeller]
6864
6865 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6866 for the encoded length.
6867 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6868
6869 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6870 [Steve Henson]
6871
6872 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6873 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6874 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6875 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6876 [Steve Henson]
6877
6878 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6879 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6880 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6881
6882 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6883 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6884 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6885 unusual formatting.
6886 [Steve Henson]
6887
6888 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6889 to use the new extension code.
6890 [Steve Henson]
6891
6892 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6893 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6894 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6895 constant.
6896 [Steve Henson]
6897
6898 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6899 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6900 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6901 [Bodo Moeller]
6902
6903 #if 0
6904 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6905 [Ben Laurie]
6906 #else
6907 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6908 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6909 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6910 #endif
6911
6912 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6913 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6914 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6915 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6916 [Ben Laurie]
6917
6918 *) DES library cleanups.
6919 [Ulf Möller]
6920
6921 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6922 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6923 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6924 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6925 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6926 of v2.0.
6927 [Steve Henson]
6928
6929 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6930 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6931 [Bodo Moeller]
6932
6933 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6934 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6935 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6936 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6937 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6938 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6939 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6940 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6941 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6942 [Steve Henson]
6943
6944 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6945 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6946 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6947 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6948 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6949 value doesn't matter.
6950 [Steve Henson]
6951
6952 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6953 support mutable.
6954 [Ben Laurie]
6955
6956 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6957 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6958 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6959 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6960
6961 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6962 [Ulf Möller]
6963
6964 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6965 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6966 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6967
6968 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6969 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6970
6971 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6972 [Ben Laurie]
6973
6974 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6975 [Ben Laurie]
6976
6977 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6978 [Ben Laurie]
6979
6980 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6981 [Bodo Moeller]
6982
6983
6984 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6985
6986 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6987
6988 *) Updated some demos.
6989 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6990
6991 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6992 [Wu Zhigang]
6993
6994 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6995 [Steve Henson]
6996
6997 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6998 [Steve Henson]
6999
7000 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7001 instead of using a fixed path.
7002 [Bodo Moeller]
7003
7004 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7005 [Andy Polyakov]
7006
7007 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7008 [Richard Levitte]
7009
7010
7011 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7012
7013 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7014 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7015 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7016
7017 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7018 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7019 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7020 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7021 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7022 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7023 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7024 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7025 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7026 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7027 [Steve Henson]
7028
7029 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7030 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7031 [Steve Henson]
7032
7033 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7034 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7035 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7036 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7037 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7038
7039 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7040 [Bodo Moeller]
7041
7042 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7043 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7044 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7045 [Steve Henson]
7046
7047 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7048 [Ben Laurie]
7049
7050 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7051 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7052 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7053 key elements as negative integers.
7054 [Steve Henson]
7055
7056 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7057 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7058
7059 *) VMS support.
7060 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7061
7062 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7063 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7064 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7065 [Steve Henson]
7066
7067 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7068 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7069 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7070 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7071 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7072 [Bodo Moeller]
7073
7074 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7075 [Ulf Möller]
7076
7077 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7078 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7079 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7080 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7081
7082 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7083 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7084 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7085
7086 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7087 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7088 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7089 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7090 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7091 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7092 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7093 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7094 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7095
7096 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7097 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7098 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7099 does not influence s as it used to.
7100
7101 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7102 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7103 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7104 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7105 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7106 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7107 [Bodo Moeller]
7108
7109 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7110 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7111 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7112 key type.
7113 [Steve Henson]
7114
7115 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7116 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7117 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7118 and 'x509').
7119 [Steve Henson]
7120
7121 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7122 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7123 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7124 extension option.
7125 [Steve Henson]
7126
7127 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7128 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7129 [Ben Laurie]
7130
7131 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7132 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7133
7134 *) Support Mingw32.
7135 [Ulf Möller]
7136
7137 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7138 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7139
7140 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7141 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7142
7143 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7144 [Ulf Möller]
7145
7146 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7147 [Anonymous]
7148
7149 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7150 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7151
7152 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7153 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7154 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7155 DER-encoded.)
7156 [Bodo Moeller]
7157
7158 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7159 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7160 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7161 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7162 now it really counts the depth.
7163 [Bodo Moeller]
7164
7165 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7166 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7167 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7168 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7169 didn't match the private key).
7170
7171 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7172 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7173 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7174 [Bodo Moeller]
7175
7176 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7177 [Ulf Möller]
7178
7179 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7180 David Harris.
7181 [Bodo Moeller]
7182
7183 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7184 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7185 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7186 [Bodo Moeller]
7187
7188 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7189 [Bodo Moeller]
7190
7191 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7192 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7193 such as /usr/local/bin.
7194 [Bodo Moeller]
7195
7196 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7197 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7198
7199 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7200 [Ulf Möller]
7201
7202 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7203 extension adding in x509 utility.
7204 [Steve Henson]
7205
7206 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7207 [Ulf Möller]
7208
7209 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7210 prototypes.
7211 [Steve Henson]
7212
7213 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7214 [Ulf Möller]
7215
7216 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7217 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7218 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7219 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7220 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7221 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7222 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7223 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7224 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7225 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7226 [Steve Henson]
7227
7228 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7229 [Bodo Moeller]
7230
7231 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7232 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7233 [Bodo Moeller]
7234
7235 *) Fix some race conditions.
7236 [Bodo Moeller]
7237
7238 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7239 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7240 [Steve Henson]
7241
7242 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7243 [Ulf Möller]
7244
7245 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7246 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7247 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7248 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7249
7250 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7251 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7252
7253 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7254 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7255 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7256
7257 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7258 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7259
7260 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7261 [Ulf Möller]
7262
7263 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7264 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7265
7266 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7267 [Ulf Möller]
7268
7269 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7270 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7271
7272 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7273 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7274 [Steve Henson]
7275
7276 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7277 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7278 [Ben Laurie]
7279
7280 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7281 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7282 [Steve Henson]
7283
7284 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7285 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7286 [Steve Henson]
7287
7288 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7289 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7290 [Steve Henson]
7291
7292 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7293 support typesafe stack.
7294 [Steve Henson]
7295
7296 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7297 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7298
7299 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7300 old X509V3 handling code.
7301 [Steve Henson]
7302
7303 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7304 [Ulf Möller]
7305
7306 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7307 [Bodo Moeller]
7308
7309 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7310 [Ben Laurie]
7311
7312 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7313 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7314
7315 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7316 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7317 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7318 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7319 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7320 [Ben Laurie]
7321
7322 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7323 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7324 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7325 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7326 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7327
7328 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7329 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7330 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7331 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7332
7333 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7334 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7335 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7336 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7337
7338 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7339 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7340 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7341 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7342 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7343 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7344 [Bodo Moeller]
7345
7346 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7347 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7348 [Bodo Moeller]
7349
7350 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7351 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7352 [Ulf Möller]
7353
7354 *) Tweaks to Configure
7355 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7356
7357 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7358 yet...
7359 [Steve Henson]
7360
7361 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7362 [Ulf Möller]
7363
7364 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7365 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7366 [Ulf Möller]
7367
7368 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7369 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7370 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7371 [Bodo Moeller]
7372
7373 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7374 [Bodo Moeller]
7375
7376 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7377 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7378 [Steve Henson]
7379
7380 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7381 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7382 to library startup routines.
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7386 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7387 codes along the way.
7388 [Steve Henson]
7389
7390 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7391 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7392 objects to objects.h
7393 [Steve Henson]
7394
7395 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7396 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7397 [Steve Henson]
7398
7399 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7400 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7401
7402 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7403 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7404 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7405
7406 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7407 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7408 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7409
7410 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7411 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7412 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7413
7414
7415 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7416
7417 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7418 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7419 [Ben Laurie]
7420
7421 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7422 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7423 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7424 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7425 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7426
7427 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7428 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7429 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7430 document.
7431 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7432
7433 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7434 Malloc, Free.
7435 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7436
7437 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7438 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7439
7440 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7441 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7442 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7443 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7444
7445 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7446 [Ben Laurie]
7447
7448 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7449 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7450 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7451 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7452 [Steve Henson]
7453
7454 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7455 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7456 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7457 [Steve Henson]
7458
7459 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7460 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7461 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7462 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7463 installed as `perl').
7464 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7465
7466 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7467 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7468
7469 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7470 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7471 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7472 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7473 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7474 [Steve Henson]
7475
7476 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7477 [Ben Laurie]
7478
7479 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7480 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7481 is horrible: I feel ill....
7482 [Steve Henson]
7483
7484 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7485 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7486 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7487 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7488 [Steve Henson]
7489
7490 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7491 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7492
7493 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7494 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7495 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7496 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7497
7498 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7499 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7500 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7501 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7502 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7503 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7504 openssl_bio.xs.
7505 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7506
7507 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7508 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7509
7510 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7511 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7512
7513 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7514 [Ben Laurie]
7515
7516 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7517 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7518 in CRLs.
7519 [Steve Henson]
7520
7521 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7522 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7523 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7524 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7525 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7526 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7527 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7528 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7529 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7530 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7531 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7532
7533 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7534 [Ben Laurie]
7535
7536 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7537 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7538 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7539 for linking it into DSOs.
7540 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7541
7542 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7543 Fixed.
7544 [Ben Laurie]
7545
7546 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7547 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7548 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7549 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7550 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7551 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7552
7553 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7554 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7555 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7556 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7557 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7558 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7559 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7560
7561 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7562 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7563 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7564 encryption.
7565 [Ben Laurie]
7566
7567 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7568 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7569 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7570 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7571 [Steve Henson]
7572
7573 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7574 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7575 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7576 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7577 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7578 field as blank.
7579 [Steve Henson]
7580
7581 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7582 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7583 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7584 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7585 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7586
7587 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7588 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7589 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7590
7591 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7592 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7593
7594 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7595 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7596 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7597 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7598 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7599 [Steve Henson]
7600
7601 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7602 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7603 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7604 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7605 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7606 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7607 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7608 [Ben Laurie]
7609
7610 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7611 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
7612 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7613 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7614 [Ben Laurie]
7615
7616 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7617 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7618
7619 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7620 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7621 [Steve Henson]
7622
7623 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7624 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7625 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7626 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7627 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7628 (e.g. s_server).
7629 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7630 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7631 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7632 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7633 no way to reconfigure them.
7634 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7635 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7636 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7637 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7638 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7639 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7640
7641 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7642 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7643 recognized by the users.
7644 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7645
7646 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7647 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7648 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7649 already masked variable.
7650 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7651
7652 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7653 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7654
7655 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7656 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7657 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7658 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7659
7660 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7661 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7662 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7663
7664 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7665 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7666 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7667 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7668 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7669 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7670 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7671 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7672 now, too.
7673 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7674
7675 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7676 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7677 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7678
7679 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7680 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7681 config file.
7682 [Steve Henson]
7683
7684 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7685 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7686
7687 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7688 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7689 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7690 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7691 [Ben Laurie]
7692
7693 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7694 [Steve Henson]
7695
7696 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7697 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7698
7699 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7700 [Ben Laurie]
7701
7702 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7703 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7704 [Steve Henson]
7705
7706 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7707 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7708 [Steve Henson]
7709
7710 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7711 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7712 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7713 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7714 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7715 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7716 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7717 Ben Laurie]
7718
7719 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7720 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7721
7722 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7723 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7724 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7725 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7726 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7727
7728 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7729 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7730 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7731 [Steve Henson]
7732
7733 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7734 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7735 an example.
7736 [Steve Henson]
7737
7738 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7739 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7740 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7741
7742 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7743 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7744 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7745 build instructions.
7746 [Steve Henson]
7747
7748 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7749 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7750 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7751 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7752 [Steve Henson]
7753
7754 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7755 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7756 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7757 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7758 [Ben Laurie]
7759
7760 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7761 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7762 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7763 so it wasn't spotted.
7764 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7765
7766 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7767 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7768 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7769 vectors if you have them.
7770 [Ben Laurie]
7771
7772 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7773 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7774 [Ben Laurie]
7775
7776 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7777 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7778 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7779 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7780 If you do a:
7781 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7782 it will update them.
7783 [Steve Henson]
7784
7785 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7786 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7787 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7788 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7789 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7790 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7791 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7792 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7793
7794 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7795 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7796 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7797 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7798 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7799 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7800 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7801 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7802 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7804
7805 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7806 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7807 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7808 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7809 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7810 [Steve Henson]
7811
7812 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7813 INTEGER code.
7814 [Steve Henson]
7815
7816 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7817 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7818
7819 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7820 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7821
7822 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7823 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7824 [Ben Laurie]
7825
7826 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7827 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7828
7829 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7830 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7831
7832 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7833 [Steve Henson]
7834
7835 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7836 few typos.
7837 [Steve Henson]
7838
7839 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7840 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7841 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7842 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7843
7844 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7845 [Steve Henson]
7846
7847 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7848 [Steve Henson]
7849
7850 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7851 [Steve Henson]
7852
7853 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7854 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7855 [Steve Henson]
7856
7857 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7858 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7859 CA extensions.
7860 [Steve Henson]
7861
7862 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7863 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7864 [Steve Henson]
7865
7866 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7867 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7868 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7869 [Steve Henson]
7870
7871 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7872 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7873 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7874 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7875 properly to be processed.
7876 [Steve Henson]
7877
7878 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7879 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7880 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7881 [Ben Laurie]
7882
7883 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7884 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7885
7886 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7887 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7888 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7889 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7890 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7891 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7892 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7893 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7894 or delete all the .err files.
7895 [Steve Henson]
7896
7897 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7898 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7899 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7900 to regenerate it if needed.
7901 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7902 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7903
7904 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7905 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7906
7907 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7908 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7909 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7910 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7911 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7912 [Steve Henson]
7913
7914 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7915 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7916
7917 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7918 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7919
7920 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7921 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7922 error, but didn't set one).
7923 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7924
7925 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7926 [Ben Laurie]
7927
7928 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7929 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7930 [Steve Henson]
7931
7932 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7933 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7934
7935 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7936 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7937 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7938 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7939 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7940 OID is not part of the table.
7941 [Steve Henson]
7942
7943 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7944 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7945 [Ben Laurie]
7946
7947 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7948 [Ben Laurie]
7949
7950 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7951 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7952 was "1234").
7953 [Steve Henson]
7954
7955 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7956 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7957
7958 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7959 NULL pointers.
7960 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7961
7962 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7963 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7964
7965 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7966 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7967
7968 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7969 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7970
7971 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7972 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7973 [Ben Laurie]
7974
7975 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7976 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7977 [Steve Henson]
7978
7979 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7980 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7981
7982 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7983 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7984
7985 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7986 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7987
7988 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7989 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7990
7991 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7992 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7993 unused in the certificate verification process.
7994 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7995
7996 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7997 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7998 [Steve Henson]
7999
8000 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8001 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8002 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8003
8004 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8005 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8006 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8007 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8008 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8009
8010 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8011 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8012 [Steve Henson]
8013
8014 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8015 [Steve Henson]
8016
8017 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8018 [Paul Sutton]
8019
8020 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8021 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8022
8023 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8024 [Ben Laurie]
8025
8026 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8027 [Ben Laurie]
8028
8029 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8030 [Ben Laurie]
8031
8032 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8033 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8034 other error libraries.
8035 [Steve Henson]
8036
8037 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8038 [Steve Henson]
8039
8040 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8041 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8042 be read in.
8043 [Steve Henson]
8044
8045 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8046 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8047 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8048 the new set of documenation files.
8049 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8050
8051 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8052 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8053 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8054 number of arguments.
8055 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8056
8057 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8058 [Ben Laurie]
8059
8060 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8061 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8062 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8063
8064 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8065 [Ben Laurie]
8066
8067 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8068 nextstep
8069 ncr-scde
8070 unixware-2.0
8071 unixware-2.0-pentium
8072 sco5-cc.
8073 [Ben Laurie]
8074
8075 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8076 before they are needed.
8077 [Ben Laurie]
8078
8079 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8080 [Ben Laurie]
8081
8082
8083 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8084
8085 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8086 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8087 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8088
8089 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8090 [Paul Sutton]
8091
8092 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8093 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8094 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8095
8096 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8097 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8098 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8099
8100 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8101 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8102 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8103
8104 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8105 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8106
8107 *) Updated the README file.
8108 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8109
8110 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8111 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8112 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8113
8114 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8115 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8116 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8117
8118 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8119 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8120 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8121 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8122 o removed obsolete TODO file
8123 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8124 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8125
8126 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8127 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8128 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8129 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8130 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8131 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8132 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8133
8134 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8135 [Mark J. Cox]
8136
8137 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8138 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8139 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8140 summer 1998.
8141 [The OpenSSL Project]
8142
8143
8144 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8145
8146 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8147 [Eric A. Young]
8148
8149 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8150 [Eric A. Young]
8151
8152 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8153 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8154 [Eric A. Young]
8155
8156 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8157 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8158 available).
8159 [Eric A. Young]
8160
8161 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8162 binary structures
8163 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8164
8165 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8166 [Eric A. Young]
8167
8168 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
