5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
6
7 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
8 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
9 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
10 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
11 directory engines/.
12 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
13 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
14 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
15 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
16 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
17 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
18 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
19 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
20
21 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
22 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
23 [Richard Levitte]
24
25 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
26 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
27
28 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
29 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
30 files while avoiding the low level API.
31
32 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
33 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
34 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
35 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
36
37 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
38 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
39 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
40 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
41 instead of the low level API.
42 [Steve Henson]
43
44 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
45 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
46 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
47 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
48 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
49 PKCS#7 code.
50
51 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
52 down to the template encoder.
53 [Steve Henson]
54
55 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
56 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
57 [Bodo Moeller]
58
59 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
60 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
61 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
62 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
63
64 *) Add ECDH engine support.
65 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
66
67 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
68 TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash)
69 TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary
70 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
71
72 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
73 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
74 [Bodo Moeller]
75
76 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
77 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
78 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
79 [Bodo Moeller]
80
81 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
82 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
83
84 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
85 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
86
87 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
88 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
89 New EC_METHOD:
90
91 EC_GF2m_simple_method
92
93 New API functions:
94
95 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
96 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
97 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
98 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
99 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
100 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
101
102 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
103 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
104 enable it).
105
106 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
107 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
108 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
109 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
110 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
111 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
112 various internal method names.)
113
114 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
115 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
116
117 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
118 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
119
120 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
121 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
122
123 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
124 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
125 methods are undefined.
126
127 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
128 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
129
130 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
131 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
132 length of the modulus.
133
134 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
135 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
136
137 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
138 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
139
140 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
141 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
142
143 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
144 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
145 used) in the following functions [macros]:
146
147 BN_GF2m_add
148 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
149 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
150 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
151 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
152 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
153 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
154 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
155 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
156 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
157
158 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
159 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
160
161 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
162 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
163 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
164 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
165 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
166 where
167 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
168 This applies to the following functions:
169
170 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
171 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
172 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
173 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
174 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
175 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
176 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
177 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
178 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
179 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
180
181 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
182
183 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
184 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
185
186 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
187
188 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
189 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
190 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
191 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
192 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
193
194 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
195 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
196
197 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
198 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
199 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
200
201 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
202 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
203
204 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
205 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
206 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
207 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
208 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
209
210 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
211 functions
212 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
213 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
214 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
215 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
216 These control ASN1 encoding details:
217 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
218 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
219 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
220 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
221 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
222 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
223 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
224
225 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
226 functions
227 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
228 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
229 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
230 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
231 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
232
233 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
234 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
235 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
236 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
237
238 *) Add functions
239 EC_POINT_point2bn()
240 EC_POINT_bn2point()
241 EC_POINT_point2hex()
242 EC_POINT_hex2point()
243 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
244 EC_POINT_oct2point().
245 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
246
247 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
248 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
249 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
250 EC_GROUP_get_order()
251 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
252 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
253 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
254 adding different types of curves.
255 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
256
257 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
258 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
259 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
260 [Bodo Moeller]
261
262 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
263 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
264
265 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
266 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
267 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
268 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
269
270 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
271
272 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
273 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
274
275 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
276 library. Most notably,
277 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
278 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
279 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
280 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
281 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
282 extracted before the specific public key;
283 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
284 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
285
286 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
287 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
288 function
289 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
290 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
291 EC_get_builtin_curves().
292 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
293 accessed via
294 EC_GROUP_set_nid()
295 EC_GROUP_get_nid()
296 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
297
298 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
299
300 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
301 the 0.9.6 release series:
302
303 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
304 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
305 (CAN-2002-0657)
306 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
307
308 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
309 [Richard Levitte]
310
311 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
312 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
313
314 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
315 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
316
317 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
318 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
319 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
320 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
321
322 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
323 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
324 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
325
326 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
327 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
328 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
329 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
330
331 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
332 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
333 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
334 some local tweaks:
335
336 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
337 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
338 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
339 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
340 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
341 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
342 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
343 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
344 done
345
346 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
347 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
348 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
349 [Richard Levitte]
350
351 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
352 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
353 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
354 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
355 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
356
357 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
358 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
359
360 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
361 error in AES-CFB decryption.
362 [Richard Levitte]
363
364 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
365 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
366 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
367 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
368 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
369 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
370 [Steve Henson]
371
372 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
373 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
374 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
375 [Steve Henson]
376
377 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
378 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
379 [Lutz Jaenicke]
380
381 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
382 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
383 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
384 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
385 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
386 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
387 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
388 [Lutz Jaenicke]
389
390 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
391 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
392 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
393 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
394 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
395 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
396 [Steve Henson]
397
398 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
399 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
400 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
401 declaration has been changed from
402 int (*cb)()
403 into
404 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
405 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
406 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
407 has been changed into
408 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
409
410 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
411 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
412 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
413
414 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
415 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
416
417 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
418 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
419 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
420 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
421 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
422 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
423 always load it have also been added.
424 [Steve Henson]
425
426 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
427 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
428 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
429
430 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
431
432 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
433 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
434 because it couldn't be used for anything.
435
436 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
437 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
438 command line option can be used to specify an
439 alternative file.
440 [Steve Henson]
441
442 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
443 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
444 [Steve Henson]
445
446 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
447 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
448 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
449 [Steve Henson]
450
451 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
452 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
453 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
454 to work with the new engine framework.
455 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
456
457 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
458 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
459 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
460 to work with the new engine framework.
461 [Richard Levitte]
462
463 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
464 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
465 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
466
467 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
468 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
469
470 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
471 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
472 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
473 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
474 FORMAT_IISSGC.
475 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
476
477 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
478 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
479
480 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
481 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
482
483 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
484 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
485 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
486 [Ben Laurie]
487
488 *) Add new functions
489 ERR_peek_last_error
490 ERR_peek_last_error_line
491 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
492 These are similar to
493 ERR_peek_error
494 ERR_peek_error_line
495 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
496 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
497 still in the error queue.
498 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
499
500 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
501 like:
502 default_algorithms = ALL
503 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
504 [Steve Henson]
505
506 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
507 [Steve Henson]
508
509 *) New experimental application configuration code.
510 [Steve Henson]
511
512 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
513 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
514 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
515 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
516
517 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
518 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
519
520 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
521 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
522
523 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
524 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
525 [Bodo Moeller]
526
527 *) New functions/macros
528
529 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
530 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
531 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
532 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
533
534 to request calling a callback function
535
536 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
537 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
538
539 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
540 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
541 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
542 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
543 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
544 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
545 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
546 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
547 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
548 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
549
550 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
551 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
552 [Bodo Moeller]
553
554 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
555 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
556 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
557 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
558 the configuration scripts.
559
560 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
561 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
562 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
563
564 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
565 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
566
567 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
568 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
569 when reusing an existing buffer.
570 [Bodo Moeller]
571
572 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
573 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
574 [Steve Henson]
575
576 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
577 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
578 [Ben Laurie]
579
580 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
581 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
582 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
583 has the same effect.
584 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
585
586 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
587 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
588 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
589 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
590 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
591 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
592 exception.
593
594 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
595 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
596 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
597 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
598
599 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
600 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
601 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
602 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
603
604 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
605 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
606 won't work.
607
608 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
609 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
610 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
611 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
612 default), and then completely removed.
613 [Richard Levitte]
614
615 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
616 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
617 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
618 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
619 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
620 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
621 particular extension is supported.
622 [Steve Henson]
623
624 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
625 to retain compatibility with existing code.
626 [Steve Henson]
627
628 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
629 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
630 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
631 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
632 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
633 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
634 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
635 requires the destination to be valid.
636
637 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
638 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
639 [Steve Henson]
640
641 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
642 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
643 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
644 [Bodo Moeller]
645
646 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
647 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
648
649 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
650 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
651 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
652 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
653 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
654 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
655 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
656 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
657 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
658 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
659 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
660 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
661 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
662 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
663 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
664 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
665 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
666 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
667 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
668 the new code.
669 [Geoff Thorpe]
670
671 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
672 [Steve Henson]
673
674 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
675 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
676 become part of libeay.num as well.
677 [Richard Levitte]
678
679 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
680 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
681 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
682 false once a handshake has been completed.
683 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
684 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
685 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
686 client has followed the request.)
687 [Bodo Moeller]
688
689 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
690 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
691 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
692 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
693
694 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
695 more bits available for options that should not be part of
696 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
697 [Bodo Moeller]
698
699 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
700 [Steve Henson]
701
702 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
703 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
704 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
705 [Lutz Jaenicke]
706
707 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
708 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
709 [Lutz Jaenicke]
710
711 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
712 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
713 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
714 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
715 [Geoff Thorpe]
716
717 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
718 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
719 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
720 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
721 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
722 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
723 [Geoff Thorpe]
724
725 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
726 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
727 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
728 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
729 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
730 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
731 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
732 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
733 [Geoff Thorpe]
734
735 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
736 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
737 [Geoff Thorpe]
738
739 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
740 [Ben Laurie]
741
742 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
743 md_data void pointer.
744 [Ben Laurie]
745
746 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
747 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
748 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
749 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
750 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
751 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
752 [Ben Laurie]
753
754 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
755 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
756 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
757 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
758 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
759 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
760 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
761 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
762 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
763 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
764 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
765 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
766 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
767 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
768 rather than letting it slide.
769
770 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
771 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
772 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
773 [Geoff Thorpe]
774
775 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
776 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
777 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
778 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
779 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
780 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
781 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
782 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
783 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
784 [Geoff Thorpe]
785
786 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
787 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
788 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
789 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
790 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
791
792 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
793 [Geoff Thorpe]
794
795 *) Add EVP test program.
796 [Ben Laurie]
797
798 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
799 [Ben Laurie]
800
801 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
802 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
803 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
804 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
805 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
806 [Steve Henson]
807
808 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
809 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
810 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
811 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
812 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
813 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
814 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
815
816 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
817 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
818 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
819 Usage example:
820
821 EVP_MD_CTX md;
822
823 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
824 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
825 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
826 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
827 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
828
829 [Ben Laurie]
830
831 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
832 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
833 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
834 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
835 anyway): E.g.,
836
837 des_key_schedule ks;
838
839 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
840 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
841
842 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
843 [Ben Laurie]
844
845 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
846 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
847 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
848 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
849 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
850 functions prevents this.
851 [Steve Henson]
852
853 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
854 [Ben Laurie]
855
856 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
857 correct _ecb suffix.
858 [Ben Laurie]
859
860 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
861 revocation information is handled using the text based index
862 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
863 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
864 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
865 [Steve Henson]
866
867 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
868 [Richard Levitte]
869
870 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
871 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
872 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
873 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
874
875 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
876 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
877
878 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
879 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
880 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
881 via Richard Levitte]
882
883 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
884 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
885 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
886 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
887 [Geoff Thorpe]
888
889 *) Speed up EVP routines.
890 Before:
891 encrypt

905 [Ben Laurie]
906
907 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
908 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
909
910 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
911 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
912 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
913 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
914 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
915 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
916 [Steve Henson]
917
918 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
919 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
920 [Richard Levitte]
921
922 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
923 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
924 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
925 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
926
927 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
928 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
929 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
930 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
931 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
932 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
933 callback.
934 [Richard Levitte]
935
936 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
937 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
938 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
939 and interrupts/cancellations.
940 [Richard Levitte]
941
942 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
943 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
944 [Steve Henson]
945
946 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
947 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
948 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
949
950 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
951 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
952 kind of callback.
953 [Richard Levitte]
954
955 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
956 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
957 than this minimum value is recommended.
958 [Lutz Jaenicke]
959
960 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
961 that are easily reachable.
962 [Richard Levitte]
963
964 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
965 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
966
967 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
968
969 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
970 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
971 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
972 needed for static libraries under Win32.
973 [Steve Henson]
974
975 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
976 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
977 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
978 [Steve Henson]
979
980 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
981 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
982 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
983 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
984 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
985 internally such as S/MIME.
986
987 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
988 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
989 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
990
991 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
992 applications.
993 [Steve Henson]
994
995 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
996 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
997 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
998 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
999
1000 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1001
1002 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1003
1004 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1005 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1006 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1007 handling.
1008 [Steve Henson]
1009
1010 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1011 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1012 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1013 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1014 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1015 a window system and the like.
1016 [Richard Levitte]
1017
1018 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1019 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1020 [Geoff]
1021
1022 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1023 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1024 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1025 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1026 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1027 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1028 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1029 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1030 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1031 ENGINE structure.
1032 [Geoff]
1033
1034 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1035 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1036 tag cache.
1037 [Steve Henson]
1038
1039 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1040 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1041 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1042 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1043 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1044 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1045 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1046 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1047 [Geoff]
1048
1049 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1050 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1051 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1052 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1053 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1054 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1055 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1056 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1057 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1058 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1059 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1060 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1061 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1062 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1063 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1064 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1065 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1066 [Geoff]
1067
1068 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1069 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1070 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1071 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1072 internal engine_int.h header.
1073 [Geoff]
1074
1075 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1076 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1077 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1078 modify their own ones).
1079 [Geoff]
1080
1081 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1082 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1083 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1084 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1085 later on via ctrl() commands.
1086 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1087 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1088 structural references.
1089 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1090 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1091 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1092 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1093 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1094 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1095 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1096 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1097 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1098 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1099 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1100 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1101 [Geoff]
1102
1103 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1104 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1105 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1106 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1107 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1108 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1109 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1110 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1111 [Bodo Moeller]
1112
1113 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1114 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1115 [Steve Henson]
1116
1117 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1118 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1119 [Steve Henson]
1120
1121 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1122 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1123 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1124 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1125 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1126 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1127 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1128 [Steve Henson]
1129
1130 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1131 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1132 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1133 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1134 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1135
1136 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1137 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1138 generator).
1139 [Bodo Moeller]
1140
1141 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1142
1143 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1144 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1145 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1146
1147 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1148 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1149
1150 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1151 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1152 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1153
1154 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1155 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1156
1157 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1158 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1159
1160 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1161
1162 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1163 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1164 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1165 [Bodo Moeller]
1166
1167 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1168 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1169 [Richard Levitte]
1170
1171 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1172 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1173 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1174 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1175 is 40 of more characters long.
1176 [Steve Henson]
1177
1178 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1179 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1180 pointers.
1181 [Steve Henson]
1182
1183 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1184 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1185 [Bodo Moeller]
1186
1187 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1188 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1189 might.
1190 [Steve Henson]
1191
1192 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1193
1194 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1195 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1196
1197 ASN1 error codes
1198 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1199 ...
1200 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1201 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1202 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1203 ...
1204 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1205 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1206
1207 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1208 [Bodo Moeller]
1209
1210 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1211 suffices.
1212 [Bodo Moeller]
1213
1214 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1215 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1216 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1217 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1218 and
1219 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1220
1221 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1222 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1223
1224 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1225 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1226 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1227 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1228 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1229 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1230
1231 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1232 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1233
1234 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1235 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1236
1237 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1238 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1239
1240 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1241 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1242 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1243 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1244
1245 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1246 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1247
1248 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1249 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1250
1251 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1252 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1253 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1254 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1255 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1256 [Richard Levitte]
1257
1258 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1259 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1260 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1261 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1262 [Steve Henson]
1263
1264 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1265 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1266 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1267 trust settings.
1268 [Steve Henson]
1269
1270 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1271 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1272 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1273 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1274 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1275 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1276 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1277 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1278 ocsp utility.
1279 [Steve Henson]
1280
1281 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1282 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1283 [Steve Henson]
1284
1285 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1286 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1287 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1288 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1289 [Steve Henson]
1290
1291 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1292 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1293 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1294 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1295 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1296 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1297 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1298 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1299 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1300 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1301 [Steve Henson]
1302
1303 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1304 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1305 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1306 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1307 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1308 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1309 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1310 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1311
1312 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1313 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1314 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1315 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1316 [Richard Levitte]
1317
1318 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1319 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1320 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1321 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1322 opensslconf.h.
1323 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1324 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1325 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1326 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1327 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1328 what is available.
1329 [Richard Levitte]
1330
1331 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1332 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1333 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1334 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1335 auto incremented.
1336 [Steve Henson]
1337
1338 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1339 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1340 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1341 [Steve Henson]
1342
1343 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1344 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1345 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1346 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1347 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1348 [Steve Henson]
1349
1350 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1351 [Steve Henson]
1352
1353 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1354 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1355 option to ocsp utility.
1356 [Steve Henson]
1357
1358 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1359 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1360 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1361 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1362 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1363 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1364 the request is nonce-less.
1365 [Steve Henson]
1366
1367 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1368 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1369 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1370 [Bodo Moeller]
1371
1372 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1373 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1374 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1375 [Steve Henson]
1376
1377 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1378 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1379 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1380 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1381 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1382 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1383
1384 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1385 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1386 appear to exist.
1387 [Steve Henson]
1388
1389 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1390 additional certificates supplied.
1391 [Steve Henson]
1392
1393 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1394 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1395 signature against.
1396 [Richard Levitte]
1397
1398 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1399 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1400 AES OIDs.
1401
1402 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1403 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1404 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1405 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1406 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1407 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1408 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1409 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1410 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1411
1412 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1413 request to response.
1414 [Steve Henson]
1415
1416 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1417 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1418 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1419 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1420 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1421 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1422 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1423 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1424 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1425 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1426 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1427 [Steve Henson]
1428
1429 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1430 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1431 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1432 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1433 [Steve Henson]
1434
1435 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1436 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1437
1438 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1439 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1440 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1441 [Steve Henson]
1442
1443 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1444 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1445 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1446 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1447 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1448
1449 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1450 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1451 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1452 [Steve Henson]
1453
1454 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1455 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1456 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1457 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1458 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1459 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1460 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1461 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1462
1463 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1464 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1465 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1466 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1467 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1468 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1469 [Steve Henson]
1470
1471 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1472 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1473 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1474 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1475 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1476 printout format cleaned up.
1477 [Steve Henson]
1478
1479 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1480 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1481 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1482 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1483 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1484 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1485 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1486 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1487 [Steve Henson]
1488
1489 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1490 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1491 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1492 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1493 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1494 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1495 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1496 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1497 [Steve Henson]
1498
1499 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1500 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1501 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1502 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1503 section to use.
1504 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1505
1506 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1507 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1508 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1509 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1510 [Steve Henson]
1511
1512 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1513 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1514 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1515 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1516 in the index file.
1517 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1518
1519 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1520 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1521 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1522 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1523
1524 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1525 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1526
1527 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1528 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1529 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1530 [Steve Henson]
1531
1532 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1533 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1534 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1535 [Bodo Moeller]
1536
1537 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1538 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1539 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1540 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1541 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1542 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1543 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1544 functions are provided:
1545
1546 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1547 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1548 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1549 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1550
1551 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1552 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1553 extended allocation function is enabled.
1554 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1555 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1556 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1557
1558 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1559 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1560 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1561 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1562 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1563 [Geoff Thorpe]
1564
1565 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1566 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1567 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1568 be queried.
1569 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1570 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1571 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1572 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1573
1574 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1575 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1576 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1577 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1578 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1579 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1580 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1581 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1582 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1583 [Richard Levitte]
1584
1585 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1586 provide utility functions which an application needing
1587 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1588 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1589 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1590
1591 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1592 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1593 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1594 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1595 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1596 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1597 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1598 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1599 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1600
1601 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1602 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1603 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1604 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1605 [Steve Henson]
1606
1607 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1608 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1609 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1610 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1611 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1612 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1613 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1614 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1615 will be added elsewhere.
1616 [Steve Henson]
1617
1618 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1619 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1620 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1621 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1622 [Steve Henson]
1623
1624 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1625 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1626 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1627 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1628 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1629 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1630 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1631 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1632 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1633 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1634 to produce the required SET OF.
1635 [Steve Henson]
1636
1637 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1638 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1639 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1640 [Richard Levitte]
1641
1642 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1643 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1644 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1645 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1646 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1647 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1648 [Steve Henson]
1649
1650 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1651 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1652 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1653 [Steve Henson]
1654
1655 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1656 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1657 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1658 [Richard Levitte]
1659
1660 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1661 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1662 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1663 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1664 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1665 [Steve Henson]
1666
1667 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1668 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1669 [Steve Henson]
1670
1671 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1672 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1673 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1674 certifcates and CRLs.
1675 [Steve Henson]
1676
1677 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1678 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1679 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1680 [Steve Henson]
1681
1682 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1683 entries for variables.
1684 [Steve Henson]
1685
1686 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1687 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1688 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1689 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1690 [Bodo Moeller]
1691
1692 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1693 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1694 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1695 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1696 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1697 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1698 [Bodo Moeller]
1699
1700 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1701 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1702
1703 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1704 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1705 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1706 [Steve Henson]
1707
1708 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1709 print routines.
1710 [Steve Henson]
1711
1712 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1713 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1714 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1715 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1716 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1717 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1718 [Steve Henson]
1719
1720 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1721 [Steve Henson]
1722
1723 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1724 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1725 for now but they will eventually go away.
1726 [Steve Henson]
1727
1728 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1729 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1730 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1731 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1732 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1733 has also been converted to the new form.
1734 [Steve Henson]
1735
1736 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1737 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1738 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1739 for negative moduli.
1740 [Bodo Moeller]
1741
1742 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1743 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1744 [Bodo Moeller]
1745
1746 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1747 set.
1748 [Bodo Moeller]
1749
1750 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1751 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1752 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1753 type-specific callbacks.
1754 [Geoff Thorpe]
1755
1756 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1757 RFC 2712.
1758 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1759 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1760
1761 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1762 in sections depending on the subject.
1763 [Richard Levitte]
1764
1765 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1766 Windows.
1767 [Richard Levitte]
1768
1769 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1770 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1771 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1772 be handled deterministically).
1773 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1774
1775 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1776 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1777 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1778 [Bodo Moeller]
1779
1780 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1781 [Bodo Moeller]
1782
1783 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1784 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1785 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1786 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1787 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1788 [Bodo Moeller]
1789
1790 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1791 sign of the number in question.
1792
1793 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1794
1795 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1796 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1797 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1798 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1799 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1800 [Bodo Moeller]
1801
1802 *) New function BN_swap.
1803 [Bodo Moeller]
1804
1805 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1806 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1807 results on negative inputs.
1808 [Bodo Moeller]
1809
1810 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1811 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1812 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1813 [Bodo Moeller]
1814
1815 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1816 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1817 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1818 and add new functions:
1819
1820 BN_nnmod
1821 BN_mod_sqr
1822 BN_mod_add
1823 BN_mod_add_quick
1824 BN_mod_sub
1825 BN_mod_sub_quick
1826 BN_mod_lshift1
1827 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1828 BN_mod_lshift
1829 BN_mod_lshift_quick
1830
1831 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1832
1833 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1834 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1835
1836 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1837 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1838 be reduced modulo m.
1839 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1840
1841 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1842 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1843 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1844 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1845 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1846 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1847 differing sizes.
1848 [Richard Levitte]
1849
1850 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1851 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1852 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1853 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1854 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1855
1856 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1857 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1858 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1859 cause any problems.
1860 [Bodo Moeller]
1861
1862 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1863 [Richard Levitte]
1864
1865 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1866 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1867 [Richard Levitte]
1868
1869 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1870 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1871 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1872 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1873 time)
1874 [Richard Levitte]
1875
1876 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1877 [Richard Levitte]
1878
1879 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1880 [Richard Levitte]
1881
1882 *) Add the following functions:
1883
1884 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1885 ENGINE_load_chil()
1886 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1887 ENGINE_load_nuron()
1888 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1889
1890 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1891 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1892 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1893 libraries unless it's really needed.
1894
1895 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1896 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1897 declarations (they differed!).
1898 [Richard Levitte]
1899
1900 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1901 [Richard Levitte]
1902
1903 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1904 [Richard Levitte]
1905
1906 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1907 [Bodo Moeller]
1908
1909 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1910 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1911 [Richard Levitte]
1912
1913 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1914 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1915 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1916
1917 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1918 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1919 [Richard Levitte]
1920
1921 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1922 [Richard Levitte]
1923
1924 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1925 [Richard Levitte]
1926
1927 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1928 [Ben Laurie]
1929
1930 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1931 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1932 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1933
1934 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1935 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1936 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1937 different shared library filenames on each system.
1938 [Geoff Thorpe]
1939
1940 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1941 [Richard Levitte]
1942
1943 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1944 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1945 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1946 of two sections.
1947 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1948
1949 *) NCONF changes.
1950 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1951 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1952 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1953 binary backward compatibility.
1954 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1955 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1956 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1957 LDAP server.
1958 [Richard Levitte]
1959
1960 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1961 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1962 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1963 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1964 this case.
1965 [Steve Henson]
1966
1967 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1968 [Ben Laurie]
1969
1970 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1971 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1972 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1973 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1974 set.
1975 [Steve Henson]
1976
1977 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1978 [Richard Levitte]
1979
1980 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [xx XXX xxxx]
1981
1982 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
1983 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
1984 [Bodo Moeller]
1985
1986 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
1987 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
1988 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
1989 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
1990 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
1991 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
1992 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
1993 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
1994
1995 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
1996 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
1997 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
1998 (see [openssl.org #212]).
1999 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2000
2001 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2002 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2003 [Steve Henson]
2004
2005 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2006
2007 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2008 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2009 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2010
2011 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2012
2013 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2014 and get fix the header length calculation.
2015 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2016 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2017 Steve Henson]
2018
2019 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2020 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2021 assertions could call abort()).
2022 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2023
2024 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2025
2026 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2027 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2028 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2029 supplied buffer.
2030 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2031
2032 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2033 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2034 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2035 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2036
2037 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2038 [Nils Larsch]
2039
2040 *) New option
2041 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2042 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2043 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2044
2045 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2046 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2047 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2048 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2049 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2050 applications.
2051 [Bodo Moeller]
2052
2053 *) Changes in security patch:
2054
2055 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2056 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2057 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2058 F30602-01-2-0537.
2059
2060 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2061 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2062 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2063 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2064 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2065
2066 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2067 happen in practice.
2068 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2069
2070 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2071 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2072 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2073
2074 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2075 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2076 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2077
2078 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2079 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2080 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2081
2082 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2083
2084 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2085 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2086 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2087
2088 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2089 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2090
2091 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2092 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2093 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2094 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2095 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2096 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2097 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2098
2099 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2100 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2101 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2102 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2103 [Bodo Moeller]
2104
2105 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2106 [Bodo Moeller]
2107
2108 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2109 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2110 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2111 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2112 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2113 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2114
2115 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2116 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2117 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2118 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2119 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2120 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2121
2122 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2123 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2124 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2125 BN_generate_prime().)
2126
2127 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2128 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2129 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2130 better.
2131 [Bodo Moeller]
2132
2133 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2134 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2135 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2136
2137 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2138 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2139 when using non-blocking I/O.
2140 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2141
2142 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2143 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2144
2145 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2146 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2147 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2148
2149 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2150 configuration for the versions before that.
2151 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2152
2153 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2154 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2155 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2156 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2157 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2158
2159 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2160 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2161 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2162 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2163
2164 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2165 value is 0.
2166 [Richard Levitte]
2167
2168 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2169 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2170 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2171
2172 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2173 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2174
2175 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2176 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2177 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2178 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2179 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2180 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2181 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2182 session cache.
2183
2184 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2185 using a local variable.
2186 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2187
2188 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2189 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2190 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2191
2192 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2193 [Richard Levitte]
2194
2195 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2196 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2197
2198 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2199 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2200 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2201
2202 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2203
2204 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2205 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2206 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2207 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2208 [Bodo Moeller]
2209
2210 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2211 present.
2212 [Steve Henson]
2213
2214 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2215 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2216 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2217 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2218 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2219
2220 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2221 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2222 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2223
2224 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2225 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2226 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2227
2228 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2229 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2230 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2231 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2232
2233 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2234 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2235 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2236 modules).
2237 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2238
2239 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2240 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2241 from 0.9.7.
2242 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2243
2244 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2245 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2246 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2247 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2248
2249 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2250 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2251 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2252 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2253
2254 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2255 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2256
2257 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2258 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2259 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2260 [Bodo Moeller]
2261
2262 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2263 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2264 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2265 become invalid.
2266 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2267
2268 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2269 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2270 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2271 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2272 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2273 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2274 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2275 [Bodo Moeller]
2276
2277 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2278 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2279 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2280 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2281
2282 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2283 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2284 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2285 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2286 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2287 the client will at least see that alert.
2288 [Bodo Moeller]
2289
2290 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2291 correctly.
2292 [Bodo Moeller]
2293
2294 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2295 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2296 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2297
2298 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2299 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2300 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2301 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2302 HelloRequest.
2303
2304 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2305 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2306 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2307
2308 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2309 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2310 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2311 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2312 may leak via logfiles.)
2313
2314 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2315 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2316 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2317 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2318 the legal range.
2319 [Bodo Moeller]
2320
2321 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2322 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2323 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2324
2325 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2326 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2327 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2328 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2329 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2330 [Bodo Moeller]
2331
2332 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2333 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2334
2335 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2336 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2337 followed by modular reduction.
2338 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2339
2340 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2341 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2342 [Bodo Moeller]
2343
2344 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2345 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2346 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2347 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2348 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2349
2350 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2351 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2352
2353 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2354 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2355 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2356
2357 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2358 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2359 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2360 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2361 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2362 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2363 automatically.
2364 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2365
2366 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2367 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2368 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2369 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2370 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2371
2372 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2373 [Andy Polyakov]
2374
2375 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2376 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2377 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2378 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2379 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2380 to allow the necessary settings.
2381 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2382
2383 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2384 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2385 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2386 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2387 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2388
2389 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2390 dh->length and always used
2391
2392 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2393
2394 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2395 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2396 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2397 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2398 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2399 dh->length.
2400
2401 So switch back to
2402
2403 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2404
2405 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2406 otherwise.
2407 [Bodo Moeller]
2408
2409 *) In

2416 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2417 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2418 always reject numbers >= n.
2419 [Bodo Moeller]
2420
2421 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2422 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2423 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2424 variable) is not atomic.
2425 [Bodo Moeller]
2426
2427 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2428 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2429 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2430 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2431
2432 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2433 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2434
2435 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2436 little-endian MIPS.
2437 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2438
2439 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2440 [Richard Levitte]
2441
2442 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2443
2444 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2445 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2446 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2447 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2448 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2449 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2450 to traverse all of 'state'.
2451
2452 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2453 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2454 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2455
2456 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2457 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2458
2459 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2460 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2461 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2462 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2463 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2464 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2465 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2466 further strengthens the PRNG.
2467 [Bodo Moeller]
2468
2469 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2470 [Andy Polyakov]
2471
2472 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2473 an error message in this case.
2474 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2475
2476 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2477 [Steve Henson]
2478
2479 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2480 positive and less than q.
2481 [Bodo Moeller]
2482
2483 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2484 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2485 that itself.
2486 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2487
2488 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2489 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2490 [Bodo Moeller]
2491
2492 *) Fix OAEP check.
2493 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2494
2495 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2496 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2497 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2498 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2499 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2500 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2501 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2502 paper.)
2503
2504 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2505 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2506 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2507 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2508
2509 Both problems are now fixed.
2510 [Bodo Moeller]
2511
2512 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2513 (previously it was 1024).
2514 [Bodo Moeller]
2515
2516 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2517 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2518 [Steve Henson]
2519
2520 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2521 [Steve Henson]
2522
2523 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2524 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2525 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2526 [Steve Henson]
2527
2528 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2529 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2530 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2531 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2532 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2533 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2534 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2535 environment variables.
2536
2537 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2538 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2539 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2540 [Bodo Moeller]
2541
2542 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2543 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2544 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2545 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2546 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2547 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2548 [Bodo Moeller]
2549
2550 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2551 versions of 'test'.
2552 [Bodo Moeller]
2553
2554 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2555
2556 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2557 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2558
2559 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2560 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2561 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2562 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2563 CygWin.
2564 [Richard Levitte]
2565
2566 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2567 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2568 amount of data available.
2569 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2570 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2571
2572 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2573 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2574 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2575 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2576 [Bodo Moeller]
2577
2578 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2579 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2580 and UnixWare.
2581 [Richard Levitte]
2582
2583 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2584 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2585 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2586 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2587 [Ulf Moeller]
2588
2589 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2590 [Andy Polyakov]
2591
2592 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2593 [Richard Levitte]
2594
2595 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2596 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2597 [Steve Henson]
2598 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2599
2600 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2601 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2602 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2603 (but broken) behaviour.
2604 [Steve Henson]
2605
2606 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2607 it when found.
2608 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2609
2610 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2611 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2612 [Bodo Moeller]
2613
2614 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2615 did not exist.
2616 [Bodo Moeller]
2617
2618 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2619 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2620
2621 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2622 [Richard Levitte]
2623
2624 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2625 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2626 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2627
2628 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2629 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2630 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2631 [Steve Henson]
2632
2633 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2634 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2635 [Ulf Moeller]
2636
2637 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2638 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2639
2640 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2641
2642 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2643
2644 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2645 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2646 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2647 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2648 [Bodo Moeller]
2649
2650 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2651 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2652
2653 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2654 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2655 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2656
2657 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2658 was empty.
2659 [Steve Henson]
2660 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2661
2662 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2663 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2664 but the code is actually correct.
2665 [Steve Henson]
2666
2667 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2668 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2669 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2670 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2671 and leaves the highest bit random.
2672 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2673
2674 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2675 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2676 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2677 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2678 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2679 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2680 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2681 [Bodo Moeller]
2682
2683 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2684 [Ulf Moeller]
2685
2686 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2687 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2688 [Steve Henson]
2689
2690 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2691 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2692 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2693 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2694 headers.
2695 [Richard Levitte]
2696
2697 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2698 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2699 and break the signature.
2700 [Steve Henson]
2701 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2702
2703 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2704 DH ciphersuites.
2705 [Steve Henson]
2706
2707 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2708 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2709 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2710 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2711 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2712 [Bodo Moeller]
2713
2714 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2715 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2716
2717 *) ./config script fixes.
2718 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2719
2720 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2721 [Bodo Moeller]
2722
2723 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2724 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2725 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2726 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2727 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2728
2729 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2730 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2731 [Bodo Moeller]
2732
2733 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2734 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2735 [Steve Henson]
2736
2737 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2738 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2739 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2740 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2741
2742 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2743 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2744
2745 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2746 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2747 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2748 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2749 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2750
2751 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2752 [Bodo Moeller]
2753
2754 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2755 [Ulf Möller]
2756
2757 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2758 [Ulf Möller]
2759
2760 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2761 [Bodo Moeller]
2762
2763 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2764 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2765 [Bodo Moeller]
2766
2767 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2768 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2769 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2770 result of the server certificate verification.)
2771 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2772
2773 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2774 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2775 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2776 [Bodo Moeller]
2777
2778 *) Fix SSL_peek:
2779 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2780 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2781 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2782 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2783 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2784 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2785 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2786 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2787 [Bodo Moeller]
2788
2789 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2790 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2791 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2792 happening the other way round.
2793 [Geoff Thorpe]
2794
2795 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2796 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2797 [Bodo Moeller]
2798
2799 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2800 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2801 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2802 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2803 [Richard Levitte]
2804
2805 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2806 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2807
2808 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2809
2810 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2811 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2812 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2813 that.
2814
2815 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2816
2817 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2818
2819 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2820 static ones.
2821 [Richard Levitte]
2822
2823 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2824
2825 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2826 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2827 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2828 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2829 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2830
2831 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2832 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2833 matter what.
2834 [Richard Levitte]
2835
2836 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2837 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2838
2839 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2840
2841 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2842 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2843 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2844 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2845 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2846 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2847 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2848 by the Finished messages.
2849 [Bodo Moeller]
2850
2851 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2852 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2853
2854 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2855 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2856 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2857 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2858 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2859 appropriately.
2860 [Steve Henson]
2861
2862 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2863 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2864 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2865 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2866 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2867 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2868 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2869 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2870 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2871 together.
2872 [Steve Henson]
2873
2874 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2875 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2876 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2877 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2878
2879 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2880 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2881 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2882 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2883 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2884 the answer.
2885
2886 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2887 been tested well enough.
2888 [Richard Levitte]
2889
2890 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2891 it can return incorrect results.
2892 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2893 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2894 [Bodo Moeller]
2895
2896 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2897 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2898 include zero length content when signing messages.
2899 [Steve Henson]
2900
2901 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2902 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2903 [Bodo Möller]
2904
2905 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2906 [Richard Levitte]
2907
2908 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2909 wrong sign.
2910 [Ulf Möller]
2911
2912 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2913 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2914 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2915 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2916 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2917 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2918 [Richard Levitte]
2919
2920 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2921 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2922
2923 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2924 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2925
2926 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2927 random number < q in the DSA library.
2928 [Ulf Möller]
2929
2930 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2931 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2932 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2933 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2934 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2935 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2936 just makes things more complicated.)
2937 [Bodo Moeller]
2938
2939 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2940 from EGD.
2941 [Ben Laurie]
2942
2943 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2944 work better on such systems.
2945 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2946
2947 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2948 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2949 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2950 [Steve Henson]
2951
2952 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2953 if there was more than one signature.
2954 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2955
2956 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2957 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2958 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2959 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2960 [Richard Levitte]
2961
2962 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2963 rather than always using the current time.
2964 [Steve Henson]
2965
2966 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2967 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2968 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2969 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2970 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2971 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2972
2973 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2974 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2975
2976 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2977
2978 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2979 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2980 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2981 the same hash value.
2982
2983 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2984 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2985 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2986 with X509_STORE internally.
2987
2988 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2989 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2990
2991 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2992 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2993 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2994 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2995 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2996 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2997 entirely (maybe later...).
2998
2999 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3000
3001 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3002 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3003 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3004 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3005 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3006 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3007 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3008 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3009
3010 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3011 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3012
3013 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3014 to customise the verify behaviour.
3015 [Steve Henson]
3016
3017 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3018 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3019 [Steve Henson]
3020
3021 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3022 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3023 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3024 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3025 request is improperly encoded.
3026 [Steve Henson]
3027
3028 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3029 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3030 BIO_write(b, ...).
3031
3032 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3033 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3034
3035 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3036 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3037 words set to zero.)
3038 [Bodo Moeller]
3039
3040 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3041 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3042 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3043 [Bodo Moeller]
3044
3045 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3046 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3047 BIO/fp routines also added.
3048 [Steve Henson]
3049
3050 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3051 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3052
3053 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3054 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3055 demos/state_machine.
3056 [Ben Laurie]
3057
3058 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3059 generation and verification.
3060 [Steve Henson]
3061
3062 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3063 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3064 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3065 encode and decode it manually.
3066 [Steve Henson]
3067
3068 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3069 compile under VC++.
3070 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3071
3072 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3073 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3074 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3075 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3076
3077 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3078 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3079 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3080 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3081 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3082 [Steve Henson]
3083
3084 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3085 [Richard Levitte]
3086
3087 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3088 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3089 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3090
3091 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3092 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3093 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3094 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3095 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3096 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3097 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3098 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3099
3100 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3101 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3102
3103 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3104
3105 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3106 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3107 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3108
3109 [Richard Levitte]
3110
3111 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3112 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3113 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3114 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3115 [Richard Levitte]
3116
3117 *) MD4 implemented.
3118 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3119
3120 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3121 [Richard Levitte]
3122
3123 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3124 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3125 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3126 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3127 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3128 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3129 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3130 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3131 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3132 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3133 short or long names are found.
3134 [Steve Henson]
3135
3136 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3137 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3138
3139 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3140 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3141 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3142 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3143
3144 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3145 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3146 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3147 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3148 [Bodo Moeller]
3149
3150 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3151 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3152 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3153 [Richard Levitte]
3154
3155 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3156 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3157 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3158 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3159 to allow the various flags to be set.
3160 [Steve Henson]
3161
3162 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3163 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3164 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3165 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3166 dates to be checked.
3167 [Steve Henson]
3168
3169 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3170 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3171 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3172 [Steve Henson]
3173
3174 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3175 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3176 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3177 [Steve Henson]
3178
3179 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3180 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3181 [Bodo Moeller]
3182
3183 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3184 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3185 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3186 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3187 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3188 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3189 [Richard Levitte]
3190
3191 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3192 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3193 Random Numbers.
3194 [Ulf Möller]
3195
3196 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3197 DSA key.
3198 [Steve Henson]
3199
3200 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3201 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3202 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3203 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3204 form signing output easier to verify.
3205 [Steve Henson]
3206
3207 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3208 [Steve Henson]
3209
3210 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3211 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3212 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3213 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3214 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3215 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3216 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3217 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3218 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3219 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3220 [Steve Henson]
3221
3222 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3223
3224 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3225 the syntax given in objects.README.
3226 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3227 obj_mac.h.
3228 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3229 obj_mac.h.
3230
3231 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3232 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3233 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3234 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3235 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3236 consistent name changes.
3237 [Richard Levitte]
3238
3239 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3240 [Bodo Moeller]
3241
3242 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3243 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3244 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3245 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3246 [Richard Levitte]
3247
3248 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3249 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3250 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3251 of safestack.h .
3252 [Steve Henson]
3253
3254 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3255 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3256 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3257 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3258 [Steve Henson]
3259
3260 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3261 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3262 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3263 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3264 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3265 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3266 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3267 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3268 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3269 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3270 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3271 [Steve Henson]
3272
3273 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3274 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3275 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3276 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3277 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3278 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3279 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3280 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3281 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3282 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3283 [Steve Henson]
3284
3285 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3286 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3287 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3288 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3289
3290 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3291 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3292 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3293 omit any duplicate addresses.
3294 [Steve Henson]
3295
3296 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3297 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3298 [Bodo Moeller]
3299
3300 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3301 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3302 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3303 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3304 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3305 [Bodo Moeller]
3306
3307 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3308 software:
3309 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3310 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3311 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3312 Free => OPENSSL_free
3313 [Richard Levitte]
3314
3315 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3316 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3317 [Bodo Moeller]
3318
3319 *) CygWin32 support.
3320 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3321
3322 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3323 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3324 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3325 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3326 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3327 approach.
3328 [Geoff Thorpe]
3329
3330 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3331 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3332 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3333 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3334 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3335 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3336 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3337 [Geoff Thorpe]
3338
3339 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3340 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3341 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3342 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3343 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3344 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3345 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3346 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3347 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3348 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3349 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3350 [Bodo Moeller]
3351
3352 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3353 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3354 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3355 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3356 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3357
3358 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3359 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3360 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3361 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3362 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3363
3364 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3365 ciphers.
3366
3367 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3368 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3369 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3370 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3371
3372 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3373
3374 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3375 of macros.
3376
3377 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3378 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3379 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3380 flags.
3381
3382 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3383 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3384 any installed hardware versions can.
3385 [Steve Henson]
3386
3387 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3388 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3389 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3390 number.
3391 [Bodo Moeller]
3392
3393 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3394 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3395 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3396 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3397 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3398
3399 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3400 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3401 [Steve Henson]
3402
3403 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3404 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3405 [Richard Levitte]
3406
3407 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3408 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3409 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3410 features.
3411 [Steve Henson]
3412
3413 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3414 [Ulf Möller]
3415
3416 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3417 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3418 but no ssl client purpose.
3419 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3420
3421 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3422 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3423 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3424 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3425 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3426 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3427 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3428 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3429 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3430 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3431 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3432 [Steve Henson]
3433
3434 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3435 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3436 be obtained from the error queue.
3437 [Bodo Moeller]
3438
3439 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3440 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3441 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3442 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3443 [Bodo Moeller]
3444
3445 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3446 [Ulf Möller]
3447
3448 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3449 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3450 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3451 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3452 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3453 [Geoff Thorpe]
3454
3455 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3456 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3457 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3458 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3459 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3460 [Geoff Thorpe]
3461
3462 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3463 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3464 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3465 may not be NULL.
3466 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3467
3468 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3469 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3470 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3471 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3472 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3473 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3474 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3475 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3476 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3477 or "the configuration storage API"...
3478
3479 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3480
3481 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3482 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3483
3484 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3485
3486 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3487
3488 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3489 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3490 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3491 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3492 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3493 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3494 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3495
3496 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3497 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3498 [Richard Levitte]
3499
3500 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3501 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3502 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3503 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3504 [Bodo Moeller]
3505
3506 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3507 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3508 them in a portable way.
3509 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3510
3511 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3512
3513 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3514
3515 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3516 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3517
3518 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3519 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3520 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3521 <attili@amaxo.com>]
3522
3523 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3524 was larger than the MD block size.
3525 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3526
3527 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3528 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3529 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3530 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3531 components.
3532 [Steve Henson]
3533
3534 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3535 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3536 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3537
3538 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3539 discouraged.
3540 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3541
3542 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3543 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3544 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3545 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3546 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3547 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3548
3549 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3550 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3551
3552 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3553 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3554 [Bodo Moeller]
3555
3556 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3557 [Bodo Moeller]
3558
3559 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3560 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3561 its own key.
3562 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3563 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3564 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3565 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3566 [Bodo Moeller]
3567
3568 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3569 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3570 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3571 does not suppress any output.
3572 [Richard Levitte]
3573
3574 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3575 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3576 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3577 with all the associated security issues.
3578
3579 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3580 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3581 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3582 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3583 use the value in the default purpose.
3584 [Steve Henson]
3585
3586 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3587 and fix a memory leak.
3588 [Steve Henson]
3589
3590 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3591 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3592 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3593 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3594 [Bodo Moeller]
3595
3596 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3597 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3598 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3599 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3600 [Bodo Moeller]
3601
3602 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3603 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3604 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3605 [Bodo Moeller]
3606
3607 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3608 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3609 [Bodo Moeller]
3610
3611 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3612 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3613 which was free.
3614 [Steve Henson]
3615
3616 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3617 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3618 [Bodo Moeller]
3619
3620 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3621 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3622 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3623 [Bodo Moeller]
3624
3625 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3626 number generation fails.
3627 [Bodo Moeller]
3628
3629 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3630 [Bodo Moeller]
3631
3632 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3633 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3634
3635 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3636 [Ulf Möller]
3637
3638 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3639 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3640
3641 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3642 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3643
3644 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3645
3646 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3647 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3648 [Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3651 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3652
3653 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3654 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3655 [Ulf Möller]
3656
3657 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3658 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3659 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3660 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3661 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3662 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3663
3664 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3665 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3666 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3667 for example.
3668 [Steve Henson]
3669
3670 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3671 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3672 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3673 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3674 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3675 counter, some don't.)
3676 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3677 counters or duplicate objects.
3678 [Steve Henson]
3679
3680 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3681 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3682 [Steve Henson]
3683
3684 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3685 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3686 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3687
3688 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3689 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3690 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3691 or -rand.
3692 [Ulf Möller]
3693
3694 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3695 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3696 [Steve Henson]
3697
3698 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3699 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3700 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3701 cipher list.
3702 [Steve Henson]
3703
3704 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3705 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3706 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3707 [Steve Henson]
3708
3709 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3710 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3711 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3712 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3713 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3714 should work without changes.
3715 [Richard Levitte]
3716
3717 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3718 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3719 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3720 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3721 must be defined. E.g.,
3722 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3723 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3724 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3725 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3726
3727 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3728 record layer.
3729 [Bodo Moeller]
3730
3731 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3732 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3733 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3734 [Steve Henson]
3735
3736 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3737 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3738 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3739 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3740 [Steve Henson]
3741
3742 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3743 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3744 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3745 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3746 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3747 is prompted for as usual.
3748 [Steve Henson]
3749
3750 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3751 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3752 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3753 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3754
3755 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3756 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3757 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3758 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3759 [Steve Henson]
3760
3761 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3762 [Andy Polyakov]
3763
3764 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3765 of seed file.
3766 [Steve Henson]
3767
3768 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3769 [Bodo Moeller]
3770
3771 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3775 bits.
3776 [Ulf Möller]
3777
3778 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3779 [Ulf Möller]
3780
3781 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3782 [Andy Polyakov]
3783
3784 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3785 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3786 [Ulf Möller]
3787
3788 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3789 options to produce them.
3790 [Steve Henson]
3791
3792 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3793 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3794 [Ulf Möller]
3795
3796 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3797 for p == 0.
3798 [Ulf Möller]
3799
3800 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3801 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3802 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3803 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3804 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3805 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3806 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3807 [Steve Henson]
3808
3809 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3810 [Steve Henson]
3811
3812 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3813 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3814 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3815 [Bodo Moeller]
3816
3817 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3818 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3819
3820 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3821 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3822 [Ulf Möller]
3823
3824 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3825 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3826 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3827 has already seen).
3828 [Bodo Moeller]
3829
3830 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3831 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3832
3833 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3834 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3835 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3836 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3837 generation becomes much faster.
3838
3839 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3840 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3841 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3842 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3843 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3844 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3845 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3846 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3847 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3848 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3849 [Bodo Moeller]
3850
3851 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3852 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3853 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3854 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3855 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3856 trial division stage.
3857 [Bodo Moeller]
3858
3859 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3860 as ASN1_TIME.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3864 [Steve Henson]
3865
3866 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3867 [Ulf Möller]
3868
3869 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3870 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3871 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3872 the comments.
3873 [Ulf Möller]
3874
3875 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3876 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3877 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3878 [Bodo Moeller]
3879
3880 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3881 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3882 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3883 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3884
3885 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3886 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3887 [Steve Henson]
3888
3889 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3890 [Ulf Möller]
3891
3892 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3893 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3894 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3895 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3896 [Ulf Möller]
3897
3898 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3899 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3900 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3901 [Ulf Möller]
3902
3903 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3904 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3905 (instead of parameters) in future.
3906 [Steve Henson]
3907
3908 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3909 when a new cipher list is set.
3910 [Steve Henson]
3911
3912 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3913 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3914 wrong.
3915
3916 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3917 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3918 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3919
3920 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3921 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3922 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3923 an error is flagged.
3924
3925 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3926 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3927 the readability was also increased :-)
3928 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3929
3930 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3931 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3932 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3933 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3934 as the root CA.
3935 [Steve Henson]
3936
3937 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3938 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3939 [Steve Henson]
3940
3941 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3942 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3943 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3944 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3945 instead.
3946
3947 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3948 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3949 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3950 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3951 because they handle more complex structures.)
3952 [Steve Henson]
3953
3954 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3955 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3956 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3957 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3958
3959 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3960 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3961 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3962 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3963 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3964 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3965 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3966 [Ulf Möller]
3967
3968 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3969 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3970 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3971 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3972 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3973 [Bodo Moeller]
3974
3975 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3976 [Bodo Moeller]
3977
3978 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3979 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3980 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3981 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3982 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3983 to use this.
3984
3985 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3986 code.
3987 [Steve Henson]
3988
3989 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3990 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3991 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3992 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3993 [Steve Henson]
3994
3995 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3996 [Ulf Möller]
3997
3998 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3999 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4000 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4001 international characters are used.
4002
4003 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4004 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4005 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4006 in ASN1 order.
4007 [Steve Henson]
4008
4009 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4010 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4011 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4012 request.
4013
4014 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4015 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4016 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4017 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4018 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4019 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4020
4021 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4022 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4023 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4024 be handled by the string table functions.
4025
4026 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4027 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4028 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4029 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4030 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4031 types at all.
4032 [Steve Henson]
4033
4034 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4035 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4036 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4037 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4038 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4039
4040 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4041 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4042 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4043 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4044 [Bodo Moeller]
4045
4046 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4047 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4048 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4049 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4050 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4051 SHA1.
4052 [Andy Polyakov]
4053
4054 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4055 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4056 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4057 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4058 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4059 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4060 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4061 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4062
4063 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4064 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4065 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4066 [Steve Henson]
4067
4068 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4069 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4070 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4071 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4072 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4073 support to pkcs8 application.
4074 [Steve Henson]
4075
4076 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4077 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4078 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4079 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4080 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
4081 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4082 [Bodo Moeller]
4083
4084 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4085 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4086 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4087 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4088 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4089 consistency.
4090 [Bodo Moeller]
4091
4092 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4093 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4094 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4095 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4096 example.
4097 [Steve Henson]
4098
4099 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4100 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4101 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4102 and any application specific purposes.
4103
4104 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4105 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4106 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4107 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4108 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4109 if the certificate is self signed.
4110 [Steve Henson]
4111
4112 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4113 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4114 [Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4117 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4118 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4119 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4120 [Steve Henson]
4121
4122 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4123 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4124 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4125 Update documentation.
4126 [Steve Henson]
4127
4128 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4129 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4130 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4131 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4132 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4133 [Steve Henson]
4134
4135 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4136 for details.
4137 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4138
4139 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4140 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4141 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4142 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4143 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4144 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4145 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4146 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4147 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4148 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4149
4150 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4151
4152 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4153 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4154 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4155 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4156 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4157
4158 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4159 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4160 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4161 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4162 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4163 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4164 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4165 request additional information:
4166 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4167 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4168
4169 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4170 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4171 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4172 options.
4173
4174 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4175 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4176
4177 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
4178 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4179 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
4180
4181 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4182 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4183
4184 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4185 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4186 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4187 algorithm.
4188 [Steve Henson]
4189
4190 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4191 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4192 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4193
4194 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4195 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4196 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4197 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4198 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4199 included in OpenSSL.
4200 [Steve Henson]
4201
4202 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4203 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4204 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4205 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4206 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4207 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4208 [Bodo Moeller]
4209
4210 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4211 PKCS12 structure.
4212 [Steve Henson]
4213
4214 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4215 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4216 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4217 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4218 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4219 structure.
4220 [Steve Henson]
4221
4222 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4223 need initialising.
4224 [Steve Henson]
4225
4226 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4227 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4228 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4229 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4230 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4231 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4232 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4233 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4234 be maintained manually.
4235
4236 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4237 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4238 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4239 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4240 work because people forget to call this function]
4241 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4242 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4243 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4244 [Steve Henson]
4245
4246 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4247 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4248 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4249 should be discouraged from doing it.
4250 [Ben Laurie]
4251
4252 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4253 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4254 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4255 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4256 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4257 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4258 [Steve Henson]
4259
4260 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4261 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4262 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4263
4264 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4265 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4266 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4267
4268 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4269 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4270 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4271 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4272 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4273 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4274
4275 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4276 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4277 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4278
4279 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4280 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4281 and vice versa.
4282
4283 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4284 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4285 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4286 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4287 [Steve Henson]
4288
4289 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4290 [Steve Henson]
4291
4292 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4293 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4294 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4295 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4296 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4297 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4298 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4299 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4300 keys so we should be OK.
4301
4302 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4303 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4304 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4305 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4306 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4307 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4308 stay in the name of compatibility.
4309
4310 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4311 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4312 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4313
4314 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4315 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4316 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4317 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4318 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4319 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4320 supplied key).
4321 [Steve Henson]
4322
4323 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4324 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4325 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4326 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4327 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4328 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4329 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4330 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4331 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4332 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4333 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4334 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4335 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4336 [Steve Henson]
4337
4338 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4339 [Steve Henson]
4340
4341 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4342 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4343 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4344 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4345 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4346 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4347 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4348 openssl verify ss.pem
4349 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4350 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4351 is OK.
4352 [Steve Henson]
4353
4354 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4355 (and add it to external session representation).
4356 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4357 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4358 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4359 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4360 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4361 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4362 security holes.
4363 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4364
4365 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4366 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4367 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4368 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4369
4370 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4371 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4372 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4373 [Steve Henson]
4374
4375 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4376 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4377 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4378 code.
4379 [Steve Henson]
4380
4381 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4382 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4383 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4384
4385 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4386 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4387 certificate auxiliary information.
4388 [Steve Henson]
4389
4390 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4391 the 'enc' command.
4392 [Steve Henson]
4393
4394 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4395 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4396 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4397 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4398 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4399 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4400 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4401 [Richard Levitte]
4402
4403 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4404 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4405 [Steve Henson]
4406
4407 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4408 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4409 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4410 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4411 [Steve Henson]
4412
4413 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4414 [Steve Henson]
4415
4416 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4417 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4418 [Steve Henson]
4419
4420 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4421 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4422 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4423 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4424 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4425 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4426 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4427 using the new 'x509' options.
4428
4429 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4430 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4431 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4432 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4433 for all purposes.
4434 [Steve Henson]
4435
4436 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4437 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4438 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4439 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4440 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4441 [Mark Cox]
4442
4443 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4444 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4445 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4446 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4447 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4448 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4449 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4450 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4451 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4452 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4453 [Steve Henson]
4454
4455 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4456 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4457 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4458 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4459 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4460 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4461 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4462 [Steve Henson]
4463
4464 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4465 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4466 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4467 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4468 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4469 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4470 openssl.cnf for more info.
4471 [Steve Henson]
4472
4473 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4474 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4475 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4476 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4477 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4478 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4479 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4480 md should be large enough anyway.
4481 [Bodo Moeller]
4482
4483 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4484 for handling the random seed file.
4485
4486 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4487 ca,
4488 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4489 s_client,
4490 s_server,
4491 x509 (when signing).
4492 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4493 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4494 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4495
4496 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4497 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4498 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4499 that support '-rand'.
4500 [Bodo Moeller]
4501
4502 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4503 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4504 [Bodo Moeller]
4505
4506 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4507 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4508 [Bill Perry]
4509
4510 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4511 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4512 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4513 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4514 is suitable.
4515 [Steve Henson]
4516
4517 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4518 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4519 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4520 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4521 [Steve Henson]
4522
4523 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4524 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4525 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4526 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4527 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4528 print out all the purposes.
4529 [Steve Henson]
4530
4531 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4532 functions.
4533 [Steve Henson]
4534
4535 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4536 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4537 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4538 single function call.
4539 [Steve Henson]
4540
4541 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4542 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4543 [Andy Polyakov]
4544
4545 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4546 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4547 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4548 [Steve Henson]
4549
4550 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4551 when producing the local key id.
4552 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4553
4554 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4555 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4556 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4557 "server.pem".
4558 [Steve Henson]
4559
4560 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4561 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4562 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4563 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4564 [Steve Henson]
4565
4566 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4567 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4568 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4569 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4570
4571 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4572 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4573 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4574 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4575
4576 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4577 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4578 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4579 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4580 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4581 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4582 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4583 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4584 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4585 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4586 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4587 trivial: move one line.
4588 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4589
4590 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4591 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4592 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4593 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4594 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4595 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4596 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4597 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4598 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4599 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4600 with an event loop for example.
4601 [Steve Henson]
4602
4603 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4604 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4605 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4606 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4607 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4608 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4609 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4610 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4611 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4612 [Steve Henson]
4613
4614 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4615 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4616 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4617 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4618 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4619 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4620 [Steve Henson]
4621
4622 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4623 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4624 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4625 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4626
4627 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4628 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4629 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4630 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4631 key generation.
4632 [Steve Henson]
4633
4634 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4635 (still largely untested)
4636 [Bodo Moeller]
4637
4638 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4639 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4640 [Steve Henson]
4641
4642 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4643 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4644 [Steve Henson]
4645
4646 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4647 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4648 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4649 [Bodo Moeller]
4650
4651 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4652 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4653 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4654 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4655 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4656 [Steve Henson]
4657
4658 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4659 [Andy Polyakov]
4660
4661 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4662 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4663 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4664 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4665 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4666 in ca.
4667 [Steve Henson]
4668
4669 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4670 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4671 1.OU="Unit name 1"
4672 2.OU="Unit name 2"
4673 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4674 [Steve Henson]
4675
4676 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4677 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4678 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4679 are otherwise ignored at present.
4680 [Steve Henson]
4681
4682 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4683 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4684 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4685 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4686 copied until the next read.
4687 [Steve Henson]
4688
4689 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4690 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4691 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4692 [Steve Henson]
4693
4694 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4695 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4696 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4697 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4698 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4699 associated functions.
4700 [Steve Henson]
4701
4702 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4703 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4704 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4705 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4706 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4707 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4708 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4709 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4710 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4711 memory BIOs.
4712 [Steve Henson]
4713
4714 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4715 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4716 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4717 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4718 [Bodo Moeller]
4719
4720 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4721 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4722 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4723 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4724 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4725 functionality.
4726 [Steve Henson]
4727
4728 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4729 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4730 under Win32.
4731 [Steve Henson]
4732
4733 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4734 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4735 extensions to be obtained and added.
4736 [Steve Henson]
4737
4738 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4739 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4740 [Bodo Moeller]
4741
4742 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4743
4744 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4745 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4746
4747 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4748 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4749
4750 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4751 program.
4752 [Steve Henson]
4753
4754 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4755 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4756 DH parameters contain its length).
4757
4758 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4759 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4760 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4761 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4762 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4763 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4764 utter importance to use
4765 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4766 or
4767 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4768 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4769 attacks may become possible!
4770 [Bodo Moeller]
4771
4772 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4773 [Bodo Moeller]
4774
4775 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4776 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4777 [Steve Henson]
4778
4779 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4780 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4781 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4782 or long name.
4783 [Steve Henson]
4784
4785 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4786 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4787 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4788 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4789 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4790 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4791 private key operations.
4792 [Steve Henson]
4793
4794 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4795 [Andy Polyakov]
4796
4797 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4798 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4799 to
4800 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4801 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4802 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4803 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4804 the password callback is called.
4805 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4806
4807 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4808
4809 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4810 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4811 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4812 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4813 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4814 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4815 this will work.
4816
4817 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4818 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4819 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4820 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4821 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4822 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4823 [Bodo Moeller]
4824
4825 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4826 [Andy Polyakov]
4827
4828 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4829 delete an unused file.
4830 [Ulf Möller]
4831
4832 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4833 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4834 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4835 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4836 [Steve Henson]
4837
4838 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4839 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4840 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4841 of an error.
4842 [Bodo Moeller]
4843
4844 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4845 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4846 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4847
4848 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4849 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4850 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4851 comparison" warnings.
4852 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4853 [Steve Henson]
4854
4855 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4856 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4857 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4858 [Steve Henson]
4859
4860 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4861 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4862
4863 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4864 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4865
4866 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4867 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4868 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4869
4870 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4871 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4872 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4873 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4874 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4875 this bug.
4876 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4877
4878 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4879 The interface is as follows:
4880 Applications can use
4881 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4882 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4883 "off" is now the default.
4884 The library internally uses
4885 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4886 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4887 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4888
4889 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4890 even the default) are now avoided.
4891
4892 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4893 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4894 than just having a counter.
4895
4896 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4897
4898 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4899 extensions.
4900 [Bodo Moeller]
4901
4902 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4903 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4904 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4905 Initial "mode" flags are:
4906
4907 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4908 a single record has been written.
4909 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4910 retries use the same buffer location.
4911 (But all of the contents must be
4912 copied!)
4913 [Bodo Moeller]
4914
4915 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4916 worked.
4917
4918 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4919 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4920
4921 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4922 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4923 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4924 [Steve Henson]
4925
4926 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4927 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4928 test programs.
4929 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4930
4931 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4932 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4933 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4934 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4935 point to the end.
4936 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4937 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4938
4939 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4940 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4941 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4942 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4943 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4944 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4945 [Steve Henson]
4946
4947 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4948 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4949 necessary function names.
4950 [Steve Henson]
4951
4952 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4953 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4954 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4955 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4956 [Bodo Moeller]
4957
4958 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4959 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4960 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4961 [Steve Henson]
4962
4963 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4964 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4965 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4966 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4967 such programs?)
4968 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4969 need locks.
4970 [Bodo Moeller]
4971
4972 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4973 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4974 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4975 [Bodo Moeller]
4976
4977 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4978 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4979 appropriate.
4980 [Bodo Moeller]
4981
4982 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4983 for the encoded length.
4984 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4985
4986 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4987 [Steve Henson]
4988
4989 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4990 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4991 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4992 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4993 [Steve Henson]
4994
4995 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4996 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4997 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4998
4999 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5000 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5001 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5002 unusual formatting.
5003 [Steve Henson]
5004
5005 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5006 to use the new extension code.
5007 [Steve Henson]
5008
5009 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5010 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5011 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5012 constant.
5013 [Steve Henson]
5014
5015 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5016 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5017 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5018 [Bodo Moeller]
5019
5020 #if 0
5021 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5022 [Ben Laurie]
5023 #else
5024 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5025 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5026 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5027 #endif
5028
5029 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5030 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5031 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5032 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5033 [Ben Laurie]
5034
5035 *) DES library cleanups.
5036 [Ulf Möller]
5037
5038 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5039 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5040 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5041 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5042 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5043 of v2.0.
5044 [Steve Henson]
5045
5046 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5047 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5048 [Bodo Moeller]
5049
5050 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5051 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5052 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5053 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5054 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5055 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5056 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5057 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5058 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5059 [Steve Henson]
5060
5061 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5062 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5063 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5064 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5065 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5066 value doesn't matter.
5067 [Steve Henson]
5068
5069 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5070 support mutable.
5071 [Ben Laurie]
5072
5073 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5074 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5075 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5076 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5077
5078 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
5079 [Ulf Möller]
5080
5081 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
5082 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
5083 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5084
5085 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5086 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5087
5088 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5089 [Ben Laurie]
5090
5091 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5092 [Ben Laurie]
5093
5094 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5095 [Ben Laurie]
5096
5097 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5098 [Bodo Moeller]
5099
5100
5101 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5102
5103 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5104
5105 *) Updated some demos.
5106 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5107
5108 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5109 [Wu Zhigang]
5110
5111 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5112 [Steve Henson]
5113
5114 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5115 [Steve Henson]
5116
5117 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5118 instead of using a fixed path.
5119 [Bodo Moeller]
5120
5121 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5122 [Andy Polyakov]
5123
5124 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5125 [Richard Levitte]
5126
5127
5128 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5129
5130 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5131 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5132 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5133
5134 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5135 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5136 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5137 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5138 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5139 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5140 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5141 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5142 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5143 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5144 [Steve Henson]
5145
5146 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5147 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5148 [Steve Henson]
5149
5150 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5151 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5152 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5153 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5154 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5155
5156 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5157 [Bodo Moeller]
5158
5159 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5160 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5161 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5162 [Steve Henson]
5163
5164 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5165 [Ben Laurie]
5166
5167 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5168 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5169 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5170 key elements as negative integers.
5171 [Steve Henson]
5172
5173 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5174 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5175
5176 *) VMS support.
5177 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5178
5179 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5180 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5181 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5182 [Steve Henson]
5183
5184 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5185 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5186 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5187 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5188 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5189 [Bodo Moeller]
5190
5191 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5192 [Ulf Möller]
5193
5194 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5195 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5196 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5197 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5198
5199 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5200 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5201 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5202
5203 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5204 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5205 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5206 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5207 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5208 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5209 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5210 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5211 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5212
5213 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5214 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5215 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5216 does not influence s as it used to.
5217
5218 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5219 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5220 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5221 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5222 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5223 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5224 [Bodo Moeller]
5225
5226 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5227 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5228 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5229 key type.
5230 [Steve Henson]
5231
5232 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5233 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5234 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5235 and 'x509').
5236 [Steve Henson]
5237
5238 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5239 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5240 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5241 extension option.
5242 [Steve Henson]
5243
5244 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5245 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5246 [Ben Laurie]
5247
5248 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5249 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5250
5251 *) Support Mingw32.
5252 [Ulf Möller]
5253
5254 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5255 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5256
5257 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5258 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5259
5260 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5261 [Ulf Möller]
5262
5263 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5264 [Anonymous]
5265
5266 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5267 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5268
5269 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5270 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5271 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5272 DER-encoded.)
5273 [Bodo Moeller]
5274
5275 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5276 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5277 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5278 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5279 now it really counts the depth.
5280 [Bodo Moeller]
5281
5282 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5283 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5284 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5285 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5286 didn't match the private key).
5287
5288 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5289 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5290 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5291 [Bodo Moeller]
5292
5293 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5294 [Ulf Möller]
5295
5296 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5297 David Harris.
5298 [Bodo Moeller]
5299
5300 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5301 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5302 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5303 [Bodo Moeller]
5304
5305 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5306 [Bodo Moeller]
5307
5308 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5309 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5310 such as /usr/local/bin.
5311 [Bodo Moeller]
5312
5313 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5314 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5315
5316 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5317 [Ulf Möller]
5318
5319 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5320 extension adding in x509 utility.
5321 [Steve Henson]
5322
5323 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5324 [Ulf Möller]
5325
5326 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5327 prototypes.
5328 [Steve Henson]
5329
5330 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5331 [Ulf Möller]
5332
5333 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5334 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5335 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5336 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5337 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5338 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5339 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5340 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5341 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5342 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5343 [Steve Henson]
5344
5345 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5346 [Bodo Moeller]
5347
5348 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5349 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5350 [Bodo Moeller]
5351
5352 *) Fix some race conditions.
5353 [Bodo Moeller]
5354
5355 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5356 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5357 [Steve Henson]
5358
5359 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5360 [Ulf Möller]
5361
5362 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5363 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5364 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5365 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5366
5367 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5368 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5369
5370 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5371 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5372 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5373
5374 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5375 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5376
5377 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5378 [Ulf Möller]
5379
5380 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5381 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5382
5383 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5384 [Ulf Möller]
5385
5386 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5387 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5388
5389 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5390 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5391 [Steve Henson]
5392
5393 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5394 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5395 [Ben Laurie]
5396
5397 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5398 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5399 [Steve Henson]
5400
5401 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5402 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5403 [Steve Henson]
5404
5405 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5406 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5407 [Steve Henson]
5408
5409 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5410 support typesafe stack.
5411 [Steve Henson]
5412
5413 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5414 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5415
5416 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5417 old X509V3 handling code.
5418 [Steve Henson]
5419
5420 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5421 [Ulf Möller]
5422
5423 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5424 [Bodo Moeller]
5425
5426 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5427 [Ben Laurie]
5428
5429 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5430 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5431
5432 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5433 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5434 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5435 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5436 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5437 [Ben Laurie]
5438
5439 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5440 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5441 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5442 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5443 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5444
5445 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5446 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5447 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5449
5450 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5451 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5452 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5453 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5454
5455 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5456 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5457 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5458 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5459 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5460 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5461 [Bodo Moeller]
5462
5463 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5464 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5465 [Bodo Moeller]
5466
5467 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5468 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5469 [Ulf Möller]
5470
5471 *) Tweaks to Configure
5472 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5473
5474 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5475 yet...
5476 [Steve Henson]
5477
5478 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5479 [Ulf Möller]
5480
5481 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5482 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5483 [Ulf Möller]
5484
5485 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5486 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5487 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5488 [Bodo Moeller]
5489
5490 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5491 [Bodo Moeller]
5492
5493 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5494 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5495 [Steve Henson]
5496
5497 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5498 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5499 to library startup routines.
5500 [Steve Henson]
5501
5502 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5503 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5504 codes along the way.
5505 [Steve Henson]
5506
5507 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5508 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5509 objects to objects.h
5510 [Steve Henson]
5511
5512 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5513 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5514 [Steve Henson]
5515
5516 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5517 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5518
5519 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5520 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5521 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5522
5523 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5524 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5525 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5526
5527 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5528 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5529 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5530
5531
5532 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5533
5534 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5535 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5536 [Ben Laurie]
5537
5538 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5539 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5540 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5541 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5542 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5543
5544 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5545 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5546 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5547 document.
5548 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5549
5550 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5551 Malloc, Free.
5552 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5553
5554 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5555 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5556
5557 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5558 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5559 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5560 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5561
5562 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5563 [Ben Laurie]
5564
5565 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5566 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5567 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5568 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5569 [Steve Henson]
5570
5571 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5572 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5573 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5574 [Steve Henson]
5575
5576 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5577 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5578 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5579 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5580 installed as `perl').
5581 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5582
5583 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5584 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5585
5586 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5587 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5588 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5589 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5590 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5591 [Steve Henson]
5592
5593 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5594 [Ben Laurie]
5595
5596 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5597 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5598 is horrible: I feel ill....
5599 [Steve Henson]
5600
5601 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5602 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5603 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5604 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5605 [Steve Henson]
5606
5607 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5608 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5609
5610 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5611 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5612 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5613 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5614
5615 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5616 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5617 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5618 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5619 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5620 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5621 openssl_bio.xs.
5622 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5623
5624 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5625 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5626
5627 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5628 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5629
5630 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5631 [Ben Laurie]
5632
5633 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5634 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5635 in CRLs.
5636 [Steve Henson]
5637
5638 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5639 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5640 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5641 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5642 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5643 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5644 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5645 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5646 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5647 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5648 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5649
5650 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5651 [Ben Laurie]
5652
5653 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5654 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5655 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5656 for linking it into DSOs.
5657 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5658
5659 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5660 Fixed.
5661 [Ben Laurie]
5662
5663 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5664 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5665 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5666 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5667 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5668 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5669
5670 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5671 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5672 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5673 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5674 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5675 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5676 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5677
5678 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5679 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5680 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5681 encryption.
5682 [Ben Laurie]
5683
5684 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5685 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5686 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5687 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5688 [Steve Henson]
5689
5690 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5691 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5692 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5693 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5694 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5695 field as blank.
5696 [Steve Henson]
5697
5698 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5699 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5700 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5701 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5702 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5703
5704 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5705 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5706 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5707
5708 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5709 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5710
5711 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5712 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5713 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5714 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5715 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5716 [Steve Henson]
5717
5718 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5719 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5720 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5721 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5722 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5723 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5724 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5725 [Ben Laurie]
5726
5727 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5728 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
5729 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5730 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5731 [Ben Laurie]
5732
5733 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5734 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5735
5736 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5737 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5738 [Steve Henson]
5739
5740 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5741 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5742 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5743 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5744 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5745 (e.g. s_server).
5746 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5747 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5748 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5749 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5750 no way to reconfigure them.
5751 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5752 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5753 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5754 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5755 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5756 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5757
5758 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5759 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5760 recognized by the users.
5761 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5762
5763 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5764 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5765 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5766 already masked variable.
5767 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5768
5769 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5770 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5771
5772 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5773 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5774 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5775 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5776
5777 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5778 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5779 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5780
5781 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5782 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5783 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5784 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5785 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5786 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5787 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5788 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5789 now, too.
5790 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5791
5792 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5793 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5794 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5795
5796 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5797 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5798 config file.
5799 [Steve Henson]
5800
5801 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5802 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5803
5804 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5805 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5806 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5807 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5808 [Ben Laurie]
5809
5810 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5811 [Steve Henson]
5812
5813 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5814 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5815
5816 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5817 [Ben Laurie]
5818
5819 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5820 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5821 [Steve Henson]
5822
5823 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5824 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5825 [Steve Henson]
5826
5827 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5828 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5829 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5830 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5831 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5832 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5833 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5834 Ben Laurie]
5835
5836 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5837 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5838
5839 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5840 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5841 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5842 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5843 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5844
5845 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5846 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5847 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5848 [Steve Henson]
5849
5850 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5851 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5852 an example.
5853 [Steve Henson]
5854
5855 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5856 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5857 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5858
5859 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5860 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5861 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5862 build instructions.
5863 [Steve Henson]
5864
5865 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5866 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5867 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5868 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5869 [Steve Henson]
5870
5871 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5872 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5873 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5874 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5875 [Ben Laurie]
5876
5877 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5878 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5879 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5880 so it wasn't spotted.
5881 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5882
5883 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5884 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5885 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5886 vectors if you have them.
5887 [Ben Laurie]
5888
5889 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5890 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5891 [Ben Laurie]
5892
5893 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5894 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5895 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5896 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5897 If you do a:
5898 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5899 it will update them.
5900 [Steve Henson]
5901
5902 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5903 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5904 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5905 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5906 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5907 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5908 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5909 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5910
5911 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5912 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5913 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5914 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5915 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5916 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5917 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5918 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5919 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5920 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5921
5922 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5923 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5924 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5925 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5926 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5927 [Steve Henson]
5928
5929 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5930 INTEGER code.
5931 [Steve Henson]
5932
5933 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5934 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5935
5936 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5937 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5938
5939 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5940 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5941 [Ben Laurie]
5942
5943 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5944 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5945
5946 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5947 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5948
5949 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5950 [Steve Henson]
5951
5952 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5953 few typos.
5954 [Steve Henson]
5955
5956 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5957 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5958 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5959 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5960
5961 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5962 [Steve Henson]
5963
5964 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5965 [Steve Henson]
5966
5967 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5968 [Steve Henson]
5969
5970 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5971 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5972 [Steve Henson]
5973
5974 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5975 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5976 CA extensions.
5977 [Steve Henson]
5978
5979 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5980 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5981 [Steve Henson]
5982
5983 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5984 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5985 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5986 [Steve Henson]
5987
5988 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5989 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5990 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5991 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5992 properly to be processed.
5993 [Steve Henson]
5994
5995 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5996 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5997 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5998 [Ben Laurie]
5999
6000 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6001 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6002
6003 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6004 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6005 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6006 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6007 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6008 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6009 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6010 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6011 or delete all the .err files.
6012 [Steve Henson]
6013
6014 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6015 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6016 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6017 to regenerate it if needed.
6018 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6019 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6020
6021 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6022 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6023
6024 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6025 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6026 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6027 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6028 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6029 [Steve Henson]
6030
6031 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6032 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6033
6034 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6035 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6036
6037 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6038 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6039 error, but didn't set one).
6040 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6041
6042 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6043 [Ben Laurie]
6044
6045 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6046 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6047 [Steve Henson]
6048
6049 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6050 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6051
6052 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6053 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6054 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6055 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6056 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6057 OID is not part of the table.
6058 [Steve Henson]
6059
6060 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6061 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6062 [Ben Laurie]
6063
6064 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6065 [Ben Laurie]
6066
6067 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6068 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6069 was "1234").
6070 [Steve Henson]
6071
6072 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6073 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6074
6075 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6076 NULL pointers.
6077 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6078
6079 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6080 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6081
6082 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
6083 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6084
6085 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6086 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6087
6088 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6089 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6090 [Ben Laurie]
6091
6092 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6093 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6094 [Steve Henson]
6095
6096 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6097 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6098
6099 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6100 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6101
6102 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6103 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6104
6105 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6106 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6107
6108 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6109 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6110 unused in the certificate verification process.
6111 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6112
6113 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6114 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6115 [Steve Henson]
6116
6117 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6118 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6119 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6120
6121 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6122 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6123 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6124 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6125 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6126
6127 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6128 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6129 [Steve Henson]
6130
6131 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6132 [Steve Henson]
6133
6134 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6135 [Paul Sutton]
6136
6137 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6138 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6139
6140 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6141 [Ben Laurie]
6142
6143 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6144 [Ben Laurie]
6145
6146 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6147 [Ben Laurie]
6148
6149 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6150 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6151 other error libraries.
6152 [Steve Henson]
6153
6154 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6155 [Steve Henson]
6156
6157 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6158 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6159 be read in.
6160 [Steve Henson]
6161
6162 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6163 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6164 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6165 the new set of documenation files.
6166 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6167
6168 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6169 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6170 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6171 number of arguments.
6172 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6173
6174 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6175 [Ben Laurie]
6176
6177 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6178 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6179 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6180
6181 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6182 [Ben Laurie]
6183
6184 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6185 nextstep
6186 ncr-scde
6187 unixware-2.0
6188 unixware-2.0-pentium
6189 sco5-cc.
6190 [Ben Laurie]
6191
6192 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6193 before they are needed.
6194 [Ben Laurie]
6195
6196 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6197 [Ben Laurie]
6198
6199
6200 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6201
6202 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6203 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6204 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6205
6206 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6207 [Paul Sutton]
6208
6209 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6210 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6212
6213 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6214 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6215 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6216
6217 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6218 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6219 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6220
6221 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6222 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6223
6224 *) Updated the README file.
6225 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6226
6227 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6228 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6230
6231 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6232 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6233 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6234
6235 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6236 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6237 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6238 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6239 o removed obsolete TODO file
6240 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
