4
5 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
8 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
9 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
10 using the maximum available value.
11 [Steve Henson]
12
13 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
14 in addition to the text details.
15 [Bodo Moeller]
16
17 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
18 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
19 handle several customised structures at all.
20 [Steve Henson]
21
22 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
23 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
24 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
25 [Steve Henson]
26
27 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
28 [Steve Henson]
29
30 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
31 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
32 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
33 [Steve Henson]
34
35 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
36 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
37 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
38 [Nils Larsch]
39
40 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
41 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
42 all fields.
43 [Steve Henson]
44
45 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
46 [Steve Henson]
47
48 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
49
50 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
51 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
52 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
53 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
54 idea. (CAN-2005-2969)
55
56 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
57 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
58 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
59
60 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
61 [Steve Henson]
62
63 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
64 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
65 [Nils Larsch]
66
67 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
68 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
69
70 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
71 [Nick Mathewson]
72
73 *) Extended Windows CE support.
74 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
75
76 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
77 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
78 [Steve Henson]
79
80 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
81 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
82 smime utility.
83 [Steve Henson]
84
85 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
86
87 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
88 [Richard Levitte]
89
90 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
91 key into the same file any more.
92 [Richard Levitte]
93
94 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
95 [Andy Polyakov]
96
97 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
98 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
99
100 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
101 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
102 [Richard Levitte]
103
104 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
105 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
106 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
107 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
108 this only applies when building 'shared'.
109 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
110
111 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
112 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
113 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
114 [Steve Henson]
115
116 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
117 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
118 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
119 - add new function for parameter creation
120 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
121 BN_BLINDING parameters
122 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
123 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
124 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
125 threads.
126 [Nils Larsch]
127
128 *) Add support for DTLS.
129 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
130
131 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
132 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
133 [Walter Goulet]
134
135 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
136 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
137 [Nils Larsch]
138
139 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
140 the apps/openssl applications.
141 [Nils Larsch]
142
143 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
144 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
145 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
146 [Ben Laurie]
147
148 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
149 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
150
151 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
152 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
153
154 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
155 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
156 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
157 avoid this algorithm.)
158
159 [Bodo Moeller]
160
161 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
162 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
163 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
164 [Richard Levitte]
165
166 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
167 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
168 [Andy Polyakov]
169
170 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
171 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
172 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
173 pod file:
174
175 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
176
177 The blank line is mandatory.
178
179 [Steve Henson]
180
181 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
182 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
183 sources.
184 [Steve Henson]
185
186 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
187 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
188
189 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
190 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
191 to support policy checking and print out.
192 [Steve Henson]
193
194 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
195 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
196 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
197 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
198
199 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
200 [Geoff Thorpe]
201
202 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
203 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
204
205 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
206 implementation contributed by IBM.
207 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
208
209 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
210 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
211 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
212 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
213
214 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
215 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
216
217 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
218 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
219 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
220 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
221 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
222 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
223 [Steve Henson]
224
225 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
226 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
227 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
228 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
229 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
230 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
231 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
232 [Geoff Thorpe]
233
234 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
235 [Steve Henson]
236
237 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
238 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
239 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
240 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
241 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
242 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
243 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
244 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
245 [Steve Henson]
246
247 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
248 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
249 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
250 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
251 [Steve Henson]
252
253 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
254 syntax:
255
256 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
257 [Steve Henson]
258
259 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
260 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
261 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
262 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
263 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
264 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
265 BN_CTX's "bundling".
266 [Geoff Thorpe]
267
268 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
269 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
270 [Geoff Thorpe]
271
272 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
273 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
274 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
275 [Steve Henson]
276
277 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
278 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
279 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
280 below).
281 [Geoff Thorpe]
282
283 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
284 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
285 [Richard Levitte]
286
287 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
288 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
289 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
290 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
291 [Geoff Thorpe]
292
293 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
294 initialised value as BN_new().
295 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
296
297 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
298 [Steve Henson]
299
300 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
301 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
302 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
303 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
304 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
305 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
306 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
307 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
308 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
309 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
310 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
311 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
312 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
313 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
314 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
315
316 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
317 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
318 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
319 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
320 [Geoff Thorpe]
321
322 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
323 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
324 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
325 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
326 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
327 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
328 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
329 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
330 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
331 [Geoff Thorpe]
332
333 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
334 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
335 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
336 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
337 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
338 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
339 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
340 [Geoff Thorpe]
341
342 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
343 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
344 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
345 these have been updated also.
346 [Geoff Thorpe]
347
348 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
349 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
350 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
351 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
352 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
353 functions.
354 [Steve Henson]
355
356 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
357 structure of type "other".
358 [Steve Henson]
359
360 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
361 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
362 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
363 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
364 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
365 situation in the script.
366 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
367
368 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
369 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
370 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
371 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
372 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
373 used as premaster secret.
374 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
375
376 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
377 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
378 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
379
380 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
381 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
382
383 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
384 control of the error stack.
385 [Richard Levitte]
386
387 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
388 [Richard Levitte]
389
390 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
391 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
392 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
393 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
394 [Richard Levitte]
395
396 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
397 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
398 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
399 [Richard Levitte]
400
401 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
402 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
403 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
404 a memory area.
405 [Richard Levitte]
406
407 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
408 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
409 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
410 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
411 [Richard Levitte]
412
413 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
414 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
415 the following flags are defined:
416
417 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
418 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
419 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
420 number.
421
422 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
423 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
424 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
425 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
426 returns zero.
427 [Richard Levitte]
428
429 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
430 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
431 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
432 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
433 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
434 [Richard Levitte]
435
436 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
437 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
438 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
439 [Richard Levitte]
440
441 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
442 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
443 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
444 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
445 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
446 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
447 [Richard Levitte]
448
449 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
450 req and dirName.
451 [Steve Henson]
452
453 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
454 [Steve Henson]
455
456 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
457 [Steve Henson]
458
459 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
460 [Steve Henson]
461
462 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
463 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
464 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
465 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
466 default implementation more easily.
467 [Geoff Thorpe]
468
469 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
470 in config files.
471 [Steve Henson]
472
473 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
474 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
475 [Richard Levitte]
476
477 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
478 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
479 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
480 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
481
482 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
483 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
484 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
485 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
486 [Steve Henson]
487
488 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
489 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
490 to do it.
491 [Richard Levitte]
492
493 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
494 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
495 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
496 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
497 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
498 scalar * generator).
499 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
500
501 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
502 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
503 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
504 correctly.
505 [Steve Henson]
506
507 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
508 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
509 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
510 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
511 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
512 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
513 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
514 linker additions, eg;
515 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
516 [Geoff Thorpe]
517
518 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
519 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
520 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
521 [Geoff Thorpe]
522
523 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
524 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
525 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
526 via PR#459)
527 [Lutz Jaenicke]
528
529 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
530 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
531 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
532 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
533 [Geoff Thorpe]
534
535 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
536 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
537 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
538 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
539 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
540 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
541 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
542 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
543 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
544 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
545
546 Example for using the new callback interface:
547
548 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
549 void *my_arg = ...;
550 BN_GENCB my_cb;
551
552 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
553
554 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
555 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
556 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
557 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
558 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
559 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
560 */
561
562 [Geoff Thorpe]
563
564 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
565 available to TLS with the number defined in
566 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
567 [Richard Levitte]
568
569 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
570 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
571
572 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
573 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
574 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
575 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
576
577 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
578 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
579
580 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
581 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
582 well.
583 [Richard Levitte]
584
585 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
586 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
587 [Richard Levitte]
588
589 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
590 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
591 and a macro that behave like
592 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
593
594 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
595 [Nils Larsch]
596
597 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
598 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
599 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
600 if applicable.
601 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
602
603 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
604 [Bodo Moeller]
605
606 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
607 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
608 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
609 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
610 directory engines/.
611 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
612 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
613 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
614 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
615 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
616 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
617 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
618 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
619
620 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
621 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
622 [Richard Levitte]
623
624 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
625 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
626
627 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
628 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
629 files while avoiding the low level API.
630
631 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
632 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
633 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
634 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
635
636 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
637 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
638 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
639 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
640 instead of the low level API.
641 [Steve Henson]
642
643 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
644 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
645 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
646 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
647 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
648 PKCS#7 code.
649
650 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
651 down to the template encoder.
652 [Steve Henson]
653
654 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
655 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
656 [Bodo Moeller]
657
658 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
659 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
660 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
661 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
662
663 *) Add ECDH engine support.
664 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
665
666 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
667 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
668
669 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
670 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
671 [Bodo Moeller]
672
673 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
674 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
675 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
676 [Bodo Moeller]
677
678 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
679 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
680
681 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
682 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
683
684 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
685 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
686 New EC_METHOD:
687
688 EC_GF2m_simple_method
689
690 New API functions:
691
692 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
693 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
694 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
695 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
696 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
697 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
698
699 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
700 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
701 enable it).
702
703 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
704 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
705 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
706 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
707 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
708 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
709 various internal method names.)
710
711 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
712 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
713
714 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
715 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
716
717 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
718 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
719
720 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
721 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
722 methods are undefined.
723
724 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
725 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
726
727 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
728 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
729 length of the modulus.
730
731 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
732 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
733
734 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
735 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
736
737 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
738 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
739
740 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
741 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
742 used) in the following functions [macros]:
743
744 BN_GF2m_add
745 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
746 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
747 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
748 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
749 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
750 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
751 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
752 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
753 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
754
755 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
756 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
757
758 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
759 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
760 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
761 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
762 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
763 where
764 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
765 This applies to the following functions:
766
767 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
768 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
769 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
770 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
771 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
772 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
773 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
774 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
775 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
776 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
777
778 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
779
780 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
781 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
782
783 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
784
785 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
786 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
787 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
788 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
789 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
790
791 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
792 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
793
794 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
795 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
796 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
797
798 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
799 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
800
801 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
802 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
803 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
804 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
805 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
806
807 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
808 functions
809 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
810 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
811 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
812 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
813 These control ASN1 encoding details:
814 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
815 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
816 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
817 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
818 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
819 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
820 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
821
822 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
823 functions
824 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
825 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
826 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
827 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
828 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
829
830 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
831 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
832 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
833 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
834
835 *) Add functions
836 EC_POINT_point2bn()
837 EC_POINT_bn2point()
838 EC_POINT_point2hex()
839 EC_POINT_hex2point()
840 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
841 EC_POINT_oct2point().
842 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
843
844 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
845 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
846 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
847 EC_GROUP_get_order()
848 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
849 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
850 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
851 adding different types of curves.
852 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
853
854 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
855 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
856 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
857 [Bodo Moeller]
858
859 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
860 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
861
862 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
863 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
864 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
865 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
866
867 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
868
869 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
870 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
871
872 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
873 library. Most notably,
874 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
875 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
876 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
877 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
878 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
879 extracted before the specific public key;
880 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
881 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
882
883 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
884 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
885 function
886 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
887 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
888 EC_get_builtin_curves().
889 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
890 accessed via
891 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
892 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
893 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
894
895 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
896 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
897 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
898 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
899 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
900 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
901 differing sizes.
902 [Richard Levitte]
903
904 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
905
906 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
907 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
908 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
909 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
910 the difference induced by this change.
911 [Andy Polyakov]
912
913 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
914
915 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
916 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
917 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
918 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
919 idea. (CAN-2005-2969)
920
921 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
922 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
923 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
924
925 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
926 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
927 [Steve Henson]
928
929 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
930 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
931 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
932 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
933 biased k.)
934 [Bodo Moeller]
935
936 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
937 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
938 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
939 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
940 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
941
942 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
943 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
944 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
945 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
946 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
947 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
948
949 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
950
951 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
952 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
953 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
954 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
955 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
956 [Bodo Moeller]
957
958 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
959 clients need.
960 [Steve Henson]
961
962 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
963 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
964 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
965 [Steve Henson]
966
967 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
968 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
969 structures constant.
970 [Steve Henson]
971
972 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
973
974 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
975 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
976 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
977 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
978 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
979 some needed definitions.
980 [Steve Henson]
981
982 *) Undo Cygwin change.
983 [Ulf Möller]
984
985 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
986 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
987 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
988 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
989 [Richard Levitte]
990
991 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
992
993 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
994 server and client random values. Previously
995 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
996 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
997
998 This change has negligible security impact because:
999
1000 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1001 data.
1002
1003 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1004 handshake.
1005
1006 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1007 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1008 values.
1009
1010 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1011 to our attention.
1012
1013 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1014
1015 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1016 [Ulf Möller]
1017
1018 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1019 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1020 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1021
1022 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1023 [Steve Henson]
1024
1025 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1026 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1027 [Andy Polyakov]
1028
1029 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1030 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1031 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1032
1033 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1034 [Steve Henson]
1035
1036 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1037 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1038 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1039 certificates.
1040 [Steve Henson]
1041
1042 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1043 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1044 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1045 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1046
1047 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1048 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1049 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1050 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1051 been given)
1052 [Richard Levitte]
1053
1054 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1055
1056 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1057 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1058 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1059 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1060 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1061 [Steve Henson]
1062
1063 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1064 [Steve Henson]
1065
1066 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1067 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1068
1069 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1070 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1071 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1072 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1073 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1074 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1075 rather than being initialized to 1.
1076 [Steve Henson]
1077
1078 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1079
1080 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1081 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
1082 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1083
1084 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1085 (CAN-2004-0112)
1086 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1087
1088 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1089 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1090 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1091 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1092 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1093 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1094 [Richard Levitte]
1095
1096 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1097 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1098 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1099 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1100 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1101 for these cases.
1102 [Steve Henson]
1103
1104 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1105 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1106 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1107 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1108 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1109 [Steve Henson]
1110
1111 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1112 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1113 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1114 < 0.9.7.
1115 [Steve Henson]
1116
1117 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1118 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1119
1120 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1121 [Steve Henson]
1122
1123 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1124
1125 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1126
1127 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1128 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
1129
1130 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
1131
1132 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1133 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1134
1135 [Steve Henson]
1136
1137 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1138 exiting on the first error in a request.
1139 [Steve Henson]
1140
1141 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1142 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1143 specifications.
1144 [Steve Henson]
1145
1146 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1147 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1148 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1149 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1150
1151 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1152 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1153 [Richard Levitte]
1154
1155 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1156 blocks during encryption.
1157 [Richard Levitte]
1158
1159 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1160 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1161 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1162 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1163 certain size.
1164 [Steve Henson]
1165
1166 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1167 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1168 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1169 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1170 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1171 parser.
1172 [Steve Henson]
1173
1174 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1175
1176 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1177 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1178 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1179 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1180 [Bodo Moeller]
1181
1182 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1183 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1184 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1185 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1186 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1187
1188 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1189 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1190 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1191 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1192 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1193 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1194 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1195 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1196 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1197 [Bodo Moeller]
1198
1199 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1200 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1201 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1202 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1203 [Geoff Thorpe]
1204
1205 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1206 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1207 [Ulf Moeller]
1208
1209 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1210
1211 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1212 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1213 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1214 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1215 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
1216
1217 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1218 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1219 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1220
1221 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1222 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1223 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1224 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1225 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1226
1227 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1228 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1229 used by default when no-err is given.
1230 [Richard Levitte]
1231
1232 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1233 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1234
1235 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1236 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1237 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1238 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1239 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1240
1241 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1242 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1243 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1244 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1245
1246 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1247
1248 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1249
1250 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1251
1252 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1253 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1254 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1255 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1256 root is omitted).
1257 [Steve Henson]
1258
1259 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1260 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1261
1262 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1263 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1264 [Steve Henson]
1265
1266 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1267 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1268 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1269 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1270 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1271
1272 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1273 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1274 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1275 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1276 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1277 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1278 followup to PR #377.
1279 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1280
1281 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1282 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1283 [Andy Polyakov]
1284
1285 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1286 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1287 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
1288 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
1289
1290 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1291
1292 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1293 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
1294
1295 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1296 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1297 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1298 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1299 client and server.
1300 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1301 PR #377.
1302 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1303
1304 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
1305 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1306 removed entirely.
1307 [Richard Levitte]
1308
1309 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1310 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1311 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1312 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1313 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1314 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1315 of libcrypto.
1316 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1317 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1318 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1319 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1320 have to be made anyway).
1321 [Richard Levitte]
1322
1323 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1324 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1325 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1326 [Steve Henson]
1327
1328 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1329 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1330 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1331 [Richard Levitte]
1332
1333 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1334 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1335 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1336
1337 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1338 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1339 edit numbers of the version.
1340 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1341
1342 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1343 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1344 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1345
1346 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1347 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1348
1349 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1350 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1352
1353 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1354 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1355
1356 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1357 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1358
1359 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1360 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1361
1362 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1363 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1364
1365 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1366 overflows.
1367 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1368
1369 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1370 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1371 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1372
1373 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1374 representations in a platform independent manner.
1375 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1376
1377 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1378 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1379 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1380
1381 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1382 indents.
1383 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1384
1385 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1386 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1387
1388 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1389 full. Fixed.
1390 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1391
1392 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1393 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1394 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1395
1396 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1397 unconditionally).
1398 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1399
1400 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1401 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1402
1403 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1404 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1405
1406 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1407 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1408
1409 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1410 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1411
1412 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1413 CBCParameter.
1414 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1415
1416 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1417 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1418
1419 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1420 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1421
1422 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1423 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1424 exploitable.
1425 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1426
1427 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1428 the 0.9.6 release series:
1429
1430 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1431 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1432 (CAN-2002-0657)
1433 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1434
1435 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1436 [Richard Levitte]
1437
1438 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1439 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1440
1441 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1442 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1443
1444 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1445 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1446 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1447 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1448
1449 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1450 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1451 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1452
1453 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1454 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1455 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1456 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1457
1458 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1459 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1460 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1461 some local tweaks:
1462
1463 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1464 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1465 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1466 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1467 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1468 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1469 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1470 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1471 done
1472
1473 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1474 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1475 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1476 [Richard Levitte]
1477
1478 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1479 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1480 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1481 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1482 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1483
1484 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1485 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1486
1487 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1488 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1489 [Richard Levitte]
1490
1491 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1492 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1493 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1494 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1495 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1496 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1497 [Steve Henson]
1498
1499 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1500 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1501 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1502 [Steve Henson]
1503
1504 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1505 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1506 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1507
1508 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1509 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1510 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1511 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1512 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1513 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1514 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1515 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1516
1517 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1518 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1519 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1520 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1521 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1522 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1523 [Steve Henson]
1524
1525 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1526 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1527 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1528 declaration has been changed from
1529 int (*cb)()
1530 into
1531 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1532 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1533 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1534 has been changed into
1535 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1536
1537 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1538 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1539 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1540
1541 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1542 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1543
1544 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1545 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1546 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1547 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1548 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1549 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1550 always load it have also been added.
1551 [Steve Henson]
1552
1553 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1554 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1555 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1556
1557 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1558
1559 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1560 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1561 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1562
1563 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1564 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1565 command line option can be used to specify an
1566 alternative file.
1567 [Steve Henson]
1568
1569 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1570 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1571 [Steve Henson]
1572
1573 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1574 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1575 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1576 [Steve Henson]
1577
1578 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1579 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1580 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1581 to work with the new engine framework.
1582 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1583
1584 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1585 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1586 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1587 to work with the new engine framework.
1588 [Richard Levitte]
1589
1590 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1591 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1592 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1593
1594 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1595 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1596
1597 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1598 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1599 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1600 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1601 FORMAT_IISSGC.
1602 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1603
1604 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1605 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1606
1607 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1608 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1609
1610 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1611 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1612 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1613 [Ben Laurie]
1614
1615 *) Add new functions
1616 ERR_peek_last_error
1617 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1618 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1619 These are similar to
1620 ERR_peek_error
1621 ERR_peek_error_line
1622 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1623 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1624 still in the error queue.
1625 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1626
1627 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1628 like:
1629 default_algorithms = ALL
1630 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1631 [Steve Henson]
1632
1633 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1634 [Steve Henson]
1635
1636 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1637 [Steve Henson]
1638
1639 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1640 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1641 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1642 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1643
1644 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1645 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1646
1647 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1648 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1649
1650 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1651 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1652 [Bodo Moeller]
1653
1654 *) New functions/macros
1655
1656 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1657 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1658 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1659 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1660
1661 to request calling a callback function
1662
1663 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1664 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1665
1666 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1667 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1668 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1669 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1670 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1671 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1672 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1673 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1674 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1675 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1676
1677 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1678 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1679 [Bodo Moeller]
1680
1681 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1682 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1683 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1684 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1685 the configuration scripts.
1686
1687 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1688 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1689 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1690
1691 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1692 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1693
1694 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1695 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1696 when reusing an existing buffer.
1697 [Bodo Moeller]
1698
1699 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1700 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1701 [Steve Henson]
1702
1703 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1704 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1705 [Ben Laurie]
1706
1707 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1708 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1709 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1710 has the same effect.
1711 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1712
1713 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1714 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1715 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1716 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1717 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1718 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1719 exception.
1720
1721 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1722 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1723 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1724 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1725
1726 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1727 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1728 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1729 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1730
1731 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1732 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1733 won't work.
1734
1735 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1736 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1737 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1738 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1739 default), and then completely removed.
1740 [Richard Levitte]
1741
1742 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1743 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1744 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1745 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1746 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1747 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1748 particular extension is supported.
1749 [Steve Henson]
1750
1751 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1752 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1753 [Steve Henson]
1754
1755 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1756 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1757 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1758 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1759 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1760 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1761 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1762 requires the destination to be valid.
1763
1764 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1765 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1766 [Steve Henson]
1767
1768 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1769 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1770 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1771 [Bodo Moeller]
1772
1773 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1774 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1775
1776 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1777 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1778 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1779 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1780 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1781 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1782 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1783 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1784 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1785 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1786 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1787 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1788 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1789 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1790 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1791 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1792 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1793 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1794 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1795 the new code.
1796 [Geoff Thorpe]
1797
1798 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1799 [Steve Henson]
1800
1801 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1802 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1803 become part of libeay.num as well.
1804 [Richard Levitte]
1805
1806 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1807 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1808 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1809 false once a handshake has been completed.
1810 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1811 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1812 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1813 client has followed the request.)
1814 [Bodo Moeller]
1815
1816 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1817 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1818 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1819 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1820
1821 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1822 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1823 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1824 [Bodo Moeller]
1825
1826 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1827 [Steve Henson]
1828
1829 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1830 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1831 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1832 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1833
1834 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1835 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1836 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1837
1838 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1839 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1840 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1841 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1842 [Geoff Thorpe]
1843
1844 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1845 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1846 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1847 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1848 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1849 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1850 [Geoff Thorpe]
1851
1852 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1853 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1854 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1855 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1856 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1857 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1858 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1859 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1860 [Geoff Thorpe]
1861
1862 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1863 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1864 [Geoff Thorpe]
1865
1866 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1867 [Ben Laurie]
1868
1869 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1870 md_data void pointer.
1871 [Ben Laurie]
1872
1873 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1874 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1875 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1876 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1877 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1878 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1879 [Ben Laurie]
1880
1881 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1882 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1883 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1884 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1885 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1886 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1887 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1888 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1889 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1890 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1891 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1892 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1893 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1894 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1895 rather than letting it slide.
1896
1897 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1898 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1899 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1900 [Geoff Thorpe]
1901
1902 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1903 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1904 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1905 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1906 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1907 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1908 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1909 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1910 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1911 [Geoff Thorpe]
1912
1913 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1914 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1915 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1916 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1917 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1918
1919 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1920 [Geoff Thorpe]
1921
1922 *) Add EVP test program.
1923 [Ben Laurie]
1924
1925 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1926 [Ben Laurie]
1927
1928 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1929 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1930 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1931 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1932 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1933 [Steve Henson]
1934
1935 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1936 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1937 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1938 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1939 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1940 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1941 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1942
1943 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1944 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1945 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1946 Usage example:
1947
1948 EVP_MD_CTX md;
1949
1950 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1951 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1952 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1953 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1954 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1955
1956 [Ben Laurie]
1957
1958 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1959 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1960 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1961 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1962 anyway): E.g.,
1963
1964 des_key_schedule ks;
1965
1966 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1967 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1968
1969 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1970 [Ben Laurie]
1971
1972 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1973 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1974 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1975 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1976 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1977 functions prevents this.
1978 [Steve Henson]
1979
1980 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1981 [Ben Laurie]
1982
1983 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1984 correct _ecb suffix.
1985 [Ben Laurie]
1986
1987 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1988 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1989 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1990 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1991 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1992 [Steve Henson]
1993
1994 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1995 [Richard Levitte]
1996
1997 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1998 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1999 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2000 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2001
2002 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2003 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2004
2005 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2006 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2007 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2008 via Richard Levitte]
2009
2010 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2011 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2012 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2013 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2014 [Geoff Thorpe]
2015
2016 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2017 Before:
2018 encrypt
2019 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2020 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2031 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
2032 [Ben Laurie]
2033
2034 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2035 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2036
2037 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2038 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2039 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2040 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2041 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2042 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2043 [Steve Henson]
2044
2045 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2046 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2047 [Richard Levitte]
2048
2049 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2050 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2051 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2052 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2053
2054 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2055 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2056 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2057 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2058 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2059 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2060 callback.
2061 [Richard Levitte]
2062
2063 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2064 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2065 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2066 and interrupts/cancellations.
2067 [Richard Levitte]
2068
2069 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2070 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2071 [Steve Henson]
2072
2073 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2074 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2075 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2076
2077 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2078 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2079 kind of callback.
2080 [Richard Levitte]
2081
2082 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2083 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2084 than this minimum value is recommended.
2085 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2086
2087 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2088 that are easily reachable.
2089 [Richard Levitte]
2090
2091 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2092 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2093
2094 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2095
2096 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2097 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2098 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2099 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2100 [Steve Henson]
2101
2102 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2103 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2104 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2108 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2109 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2110 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2111 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2112 internally such as S/MIME.
2113
2114 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2115 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2116 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2117
2118 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2119 applications.
2120 [Steve Henson]
2121
2122 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2123 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2124 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2125 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2126
2127 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2128
2129 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2130
2131 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2132 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2133 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2134 handling.
2135 [Steve Henson]
2136
2137 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2138 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2139 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2140 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2141 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2142 a window system and the like.
2143 [Richard Levitte]
2144
2145 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2146 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2147 [Geoff]
2148
2149 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2150 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2151 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2152 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2153 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2154 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2155 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2156 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2157 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2158 ENGINE structure.
2159 [Geoff]
2160
2161 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2162 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2163 tag cache.
2164 [Steve Henson]
2165
2166 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2167 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2168 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2169 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2170 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2171 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2172 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2173 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2174 [Geoff]
2175
2176 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2177 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2178 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2179 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2180 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2181 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2182 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2183 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2184 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2185 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2186 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2187 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2188 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2189 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2190 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2191 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2192 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2193 [Geoff]
2194
2195 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2196 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2197 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2198 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2199 internal engine_int.h header.
2200 [Geoff]
2201
2202 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2203 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2204 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2205 modify their own ones).
2206 [Geoff]
2207
2208 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2209 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2210 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2211 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2212 later on via ctrl() commands.
2213 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2214 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2215 structural references.
2216 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2217 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2218 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2219 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2220 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2221 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2222 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2223 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2224 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2225 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2226 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2227 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2228 [Geoff]
2229
2230 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2231 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2232 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2233 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2234 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2235 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2236 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2237 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2238 [Bodo Moeller]
2239
2240 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2241 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2242 [Steve Henson]
2243
2244 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2245 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2246 [Steve Henson]
2247
2248 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2249 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2250 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2251 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2252 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2253 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2254 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2255 [Steve Henson]
2256
2257 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2258 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2259 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2260 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2261 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2262
2263 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2264 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2265 generator).
2266 [Bodo Moeller]
2267
2268 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2269
2270 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2271 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2272 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2273
2274 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2275 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2276
2277 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2278 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2279 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2280
2281 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2282 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2283
2284 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2285 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2286
2287 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2288
2289 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2290 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2291 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2292 [Bodo Moeller]
2293
2294 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2295 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2296 [Richard Levitte]
2297
2298 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2299 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2300 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2301 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2302 is 40 of more characters long.
2303 [Steve Henson]
2304
2305 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2306 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2307 pointers.
2308 [Steve Henson]
2309
2310 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2311 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2312 [Bodo Moeller]
2313
2314 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2315 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2316 might.
2317 [Steve Henson]
2318
2319 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2320
2321 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2322 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2323
2324 ASN1 error codes
2325 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2326 ...
2327 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2328 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2329 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2330 ...
2331 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2332 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2333
2334 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2335 [Bodo Moeller]
2336
2337 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2338 suffices.
2339 [Bodo Moeller]
2340
2341 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2342 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2343 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2344 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2345 and
2346 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2347
2348 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2349 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2350
2351 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2352 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2353 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2354 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2355 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2356 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2357
2358 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2359 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2360
2361 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2362 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2363
2364 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2365 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2366
2367 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2368 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2369 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2370 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2371
2372 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2373 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2374
2375 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2376 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2377
2378 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2379 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2380 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2381 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2382 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2383 [Richard Levitte]
2384
2385 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2386 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2387 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2388 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2389 [Steve Henson]
2390
2391 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2392 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2393 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2394 trust settings.
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2398 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2399 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2400 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2401 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2402 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2403 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2404 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2405 ocsp utility.
2406 [Steve Henson]
2407
2408 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2409 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2410 [Steve Henson]
2411
2412 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2413 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2414 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2415 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2416 [Steve Henson]
2417
2418 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2419 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2420 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2421 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2422 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2423 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2424 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2425 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2426 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2427 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2428 [Steve Henson]
2429
2430 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2431 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2432 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2433 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2434 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2435 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2436 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2437 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2438
2439 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2440 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2441 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2442 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2443 [Richard Levitte]
2444
2445 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2446 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2447 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2448 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2449 opensslconf.h.
2450 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2451 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2452 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2453 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2454 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2455 what is available.
2456 [Richard Levitte]
2457
2458 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2459 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2460 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2461 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2462 auto incremented.
2463 [Steve Henson]
2464
2465 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2466 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2467 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2468 [Steve Henson]
2469
2470 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2471 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2472 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2473 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2474 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2475 [Steve Henson]
2476
2477 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2478 [Steve Henson]
2479
2480 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2481 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2482 option to ocsp utility.
2483 [Steve Henson]
2484
2485 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2486 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2487 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2488 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2489 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2490 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2491 the request is nonce-less.
2492 [Steve Henson]
2493
2494 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2495 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2496 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2497 [Bodo Moeller]
2498
2499 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2500 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2501 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2502 [Steve Henson]
2503
2504 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2505 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2506 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2507 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2508 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2509 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2510
2511 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2512 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2513 appear to exist.
2514 [Steve Henson]
2515
2516 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2517 additional certificates supplied.
2518 [Steve Henson]
2519
2520 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2521 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2522 signature against.
2523 [Richard Levitte]
2524
2525 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2526 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2527 AES OIDs.
2528
2529 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2530 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2531 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2532 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2533 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2534 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2535 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2536 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2537 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2538
2539 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2540 request to response.
2541 [Steve Henson]
2542
2543 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2544 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2545 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2546 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2547 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2548 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2549 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2550 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2551 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2552 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2553 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2554 [Steve Henson]
2555
2556 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2557 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2558 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2559 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2560 [Steve Henson]
2561
2562 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2563 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2564
2565 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2566 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2567 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2568 [Steve Henson]
2569
2570 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2571 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2572 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2573 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2574 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2575
2576 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2577 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2578 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2579 [Steve Henson]
2580
2581 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2582 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2583 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2584 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2585 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2586 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2587 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2588 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2589
2590 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2591 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2592 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2593 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2594 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2595 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2596 [Steve Henson]
2597
2598 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2599 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2600 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2601 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2602 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2603 printout format cleaned up.
2604 [Steve Henson]
2605
2606 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2607 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2608 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2609 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2610 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2611 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2612 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2613 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2614 [Steve Henson]
2615
2616 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2617 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2618 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2619 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2620 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2621 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2622 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2623 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2624 [Steve Henson]
2625
2626 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2627 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2628 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2629 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2630 section to use.
2631 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2632
2633 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2634 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2635 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2636 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2637 [Steve Henson]
2638
2639 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2640 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2641 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2642 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2643 in the index file.
2644 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2645
2646 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2647 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2648 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2649 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2650
2651 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2652 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2653
2654 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2655 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2656 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2657 [Steve Henson]
2658
2659 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2660 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2661 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2662 [Bodo Moeller]
2663
2664 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2665 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2666 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2667 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2668 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2669 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2670 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2671 functions are provided:
2672
2673 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2674 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2675 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2676 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2677
2678 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2679 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2680 extended allocation function is enabled.
2681 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2682 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2683 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2684
2685 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2686 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2687 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2688 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2689 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2690 [Geoff Thorpe]
2691
2692 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2693 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2694 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2695 be queried.
2696 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2697 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2698 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2699 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2700
2701 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2702 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2703 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2704 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2705 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2706 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2707 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2708 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2709 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2710 [Richard Levitte]
2711
2712 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2713 provide utility functions which an application needing
2714 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2715 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2716 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2717
2718 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2719 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2720 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2721 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2722 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2723 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2724 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2725 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2726 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2727
2728 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2729 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2730 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2731 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2732 [Steve Henson]
2733
2734 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2735 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2736 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2737 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2738 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2739 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2740 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2741 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2742 will be added elsewhere.
2743 [Steve Henson]
2744
2745 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2746 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2747 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2748 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2749 [Steve Henson]
2750
2751 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2752 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2753 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2754 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2755 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2756 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2757 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2758 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2759 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2760 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2761 to produce the required SET OF.
2762 [Steve Henson]
2763
2764 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2765 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2766 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2767 [Richard Levitte]
2768
2769 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2770 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2771 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2772 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2773 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2774 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2775 [Steve Henson]
2776
2777 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2778 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2779 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2780 [Steve Henson]
2781
2782 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2783 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2784 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2785 [Richard Levitte]
2786
2787 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2788 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2789 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2790 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2791 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2792 [Steve Henson]
2793
2794 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2795 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2796 [Steve Henson]
2797
2798 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2799 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2800 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2801 certifcates and CRLs.
2802 [Steve Henson]
2803
2804 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2805 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2806 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2807 [Steve Henson]
2808
2809 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2810 entries for variables.
2811 [Steve Henson]
2812
2813 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2814 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2815 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2816 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2817 [Bodo Moeller]
2818
2819 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2820 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2821 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2822 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2823 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2824 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2825 [Bodo Moeller]
2826
2827 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2828 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2829
2830 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2831 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2832 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2833 [Steve Henson]
2834
2835 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2836 print routines.
2837 [Steve Henson]
2838
2839 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2840 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2841 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2842 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2843 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2844 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2845 [Steve Henson]
2846
2847 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2848 [Steve Henson]
2849
2850 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2851 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2852 for now but they will eventually go away.
2853 [Steve Henson]
2854
2855 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2856 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2857 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2858 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2859 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2860 has also been converted to the new form.
2861 [Steve Henson]
2862
2863 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2864 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2865 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2866 for negative moduli.
2867 [Bodo Moeller]
2868
2869 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2870 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2871 [Bodo Moeller]
2872
2873 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2874 set.
2875 [Bodo Moeller]
2876
2877 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2878 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2879 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2880 type-specific callbacks.
2881 [Geoff Thorpe]
2882
2883 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2884 RFC 2712.
2885 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2886 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2887
2888 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2889 in sections depending on the subject.
2890 [Richard Levitte]
2891
2892 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2893 Windows.
2894 [Richard Levitte]
2895
2896 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2897 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2898 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2899 be handled deterministically).
2900 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2901
2902 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2903 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2904 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2905 [Bodo Moeller]
2906
2907 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2908 [Bodo Moeller]
2909
2910 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2911 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2912 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2913 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2914 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2915 [Bodo Moeller]
2916
2917 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2918 sign of the number in question.
2919
2920 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2921
2922 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2923 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2924 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2925 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2926 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2927 [Bodo Moeller]
2928
2929 *) New function BN_swap.
2930 [Bodo Moeller]
2931
2932 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2933 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2934 results on negative inputs.
2935 [Bodo Moeller]
2936
2937 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2938 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2939 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2940 [Bodo Moeller]
2941
2942 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2943 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2944 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2945 and add new functions:
2946
2947 BN_nnmod
2948 BN_mod_sqr
2949 BN_mod_add
2950 BN_mod_add_quick
2951 BN_mod_sub
2952 BN_mod_sub_quick
2953 BN_mod_lshift1
2954 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2955 BN_mod_lshift
2956 BN_mod_lshift_quick
2957
2958 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2959
2960 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2961 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2962
2963 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2964 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2965 be reduced modulo m.
2966 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2967
2968 #if 0
2969 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2970 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2971 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2972
2973 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2974 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2975 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2976 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2977 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2978 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2979 differing sizes.
2980 [Richard Levitte]
2981 #endif
2982
2983 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2984 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2985 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2986 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2987 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2988
2989 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2990 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2991 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2992 cause any problems.
2993 [Bodo Moeller]
2994
2995 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2996 [Richard Levitte]
2997
2998 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2999 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3000 [Richard Levitte]
3001
3002 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3003 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3004 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3005 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3006 time)
3007 [Richard Levitte]
3008
3009 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3010 [Richard Levitte]
3011
3012 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3013 [Richard Levitte]
3014
3015 *) Add the following functions:
3016
3017 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3018 ENGINE_load_chil()
3019 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3020 ENGINE_load_nuron()
3021 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3022
3023 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3024 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3025 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3026 libraries unless it's really needed.
3027
3028 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3029 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3030 declarations (they differed!).
3031 [Richard Levitte]
3032
3033 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3034 [Richard Levitte]
3035
3036 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3037 [Richard Levitte]
3038
3039 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3040 [Bodo Moeller]
3041
3042 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3043 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3044 [Richard Levitte]
3045
3046 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3047 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3048 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3049
3050 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3051 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3052 [Richard Levitte]
3053
3054 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3055 [Richard Levitte]
3056
3057 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3058 [Richard Levitte]
3059
3060 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3061 [Ben Laurie]
3062
3063 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3064 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3065 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3066
3067 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3068 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3069 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3070 different shared library filenames on each system.
3071 [Geoff Thorpe]
3072
3073 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3074 [Richard Levitte]
3075
3076 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3077 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3078 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3079 of two sections.
3080 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) NCONF changes.
3083 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3084 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3085 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3086 binary backward compatibility.
3087 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3088 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3089 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3090 LDAP server.
3091 [Richard Levitte]
3092
3093 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3094 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3095 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3096 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3097 this case.
3098 [Steve Henson]
3099
3100 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3101 [Ben Laurie]
3102
3103 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3104 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3105 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3106 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3107 set.
3108 [Steve Henson]
3109
3110 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3111 [Richard Levitte]
3112
3113 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3114
3115 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3116 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
3117 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3118
3119 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3120
3121 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3122
3123 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3124 certain ASN.1 tags (CAN-2003-0851)
3125 [Steve Henson]
3126
3127 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3128
3129 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3130
3131 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3132 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
3133
3134 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3135 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3136
3137 [Steve Henson]
3138
3139 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3140 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3141 specifications.
3142 [Steve Henson]
3143
3144 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3145 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3146 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3147 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3148
3149 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3150 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3151 [Richard Levitte]
3152
3153 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3154
3155 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3156 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3157 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3158 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3159 [Bodo Moeller]
3160
3161 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3162 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3163 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3164 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3165 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3166
3167 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3168 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3169 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3170 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3171 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3172 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3173 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3174 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3175 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3176 [Bodo Moeller]
3177
3178 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3179
3180 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3181 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3182 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3183 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3184 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
3185
3186 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3187 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3188 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3189
3190 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3191
3192 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3193 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3194 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3195 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3196 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3197 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3198 [Geoff Thorpe]
3199
3200 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3201 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3202 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3203 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3204 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3205 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3206
3207 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3208 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3209 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3210
3211 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3212 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3213 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3214 EVP_cleanup().
3215 [Richard Levitte]
3216
3217 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3218 being properly terminated.
3219 [Richard Levitte]
3220
3221 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3222 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3223 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3224 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3225
3226 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3227 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3228 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3229 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3230 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3231 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3232 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3233 change.
3234 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3235
3236 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3237 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3238 [Bodo Moeller]
3239
3240 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3241 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3242 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3243 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3244 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3245 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3246 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3247 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3248
3249 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3250 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3251 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3252 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3253 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3254
3255 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3256 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3257 [Steve Henson]
3258
3259 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3260
3261 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3262 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3263 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3264
3265 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3266
3267 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3268 and get fix the header length calculation.
3269 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3270 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3271 Steve Henson]
3272
3273 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3274 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3275 assertions could call abort()).
3276 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3277
3278 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3279
3280 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3281 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3282 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3283 supplied buffer.
3284 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3285
3286 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3287 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3288 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3289 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3290
3291 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3292 [Nils Larsch]
3293
3294 *) New option
3295 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3296 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3297 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3298
3299 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3300 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3301 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3302 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3303 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3304 applications.
3305 [Bodo Moeller]
3306
3307 *) Changes in security patch:
3308
3309 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3310 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3311 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3312 F30602-01-2-0537.
3313
3314 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3315 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3316 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3317 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
3318 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3319
3320 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3321 happen in practice.
3322 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3323
3324 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3325 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
3326 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3327
3328 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3329 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
3330 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3331
3332 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3333 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
3334 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3335
3336 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3337
3338 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3339 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3340 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3341
3342 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3343 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3344
3345 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3346 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3347 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3348 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3349 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3350 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3351 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3352
3353 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3354 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3355 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3356 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3357 [Bodo Moeller]
3358
3359 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3360 [Bodo Moeller]
3361
3362 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3363 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3364 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3365 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3366 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3367 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3368
3369 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3370 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3371 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3372 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3373 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3374 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3375
3376 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3377 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3378 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3379 BN_generate_prime().)
3380
3381 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3382 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3383 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3384 better.
3385 [Bodo Moeller]
3386
3387 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3388 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3389 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3390
3391 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3392 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3393 when using non-blocking I/O.
3394 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3395
3396 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3397 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3398
3399 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3400 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3401 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3402
3403 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3404 configuration for the versions before that.
3405 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3406
3407 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3408 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3409 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3410 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3411 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3412
3413 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3414 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3415 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3416 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3417
3418 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3419 value is 0.
3420 [Richard Levitte]
3421
3422 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3423 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3424 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3425
3426 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3427 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3428
3429 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3430 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3431 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3432 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3433 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3434 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3435 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3436 session cache.
3437
3438 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3439 using a local variable.
3440 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3441
3442 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3443 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3444 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3445
3446 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3447 [Richard Levitte]
3448
3449 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3450 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3451
3452 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3453 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3454 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3455
3456 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3457
3458 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3459 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3460 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3461 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3462 [Bodo Moeller]
3463
3464 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3465 present.
3466 [Steve Henson]
3467
3468 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3469 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3470 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3471 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3472 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3473
3474 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3475 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3476 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3477
3478 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3479 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3480 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3481
3482 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3483 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3484 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3485 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3486
3487 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3488 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3489 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3490 modules).
3491 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3492
3493 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3494 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3495 from 0.9.7.
3496 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3497
3498 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3499 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3500 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3501 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3502
3503 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3504 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3505 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3506 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3507
3508 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3509 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3510
3511 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3512 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3513 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3514 [Bodo Moeller]
3515
3516 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3517 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3518 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3519 become invalid.
3520 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3521
3522 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3523 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3524 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3525 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3526 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3527 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3528 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3529 [Bodo Moeller]
3530
3531 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3532 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3533 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3534 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3535
3536 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3537 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3538 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3539 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3540 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3541 the client will at least see that alert.
3542 [Bodo Moeller]
3543
3544 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3545 correctly.
3546 [Bodo Moeller]
3547
3548 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3549 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3550 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3551
3552 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3553 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3554 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3555 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3556 HelloRequest.
3557
3558 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3559 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3560 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3561
3562 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3563 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3564 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3565 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3566 may leak via logfiles.)
3567
3568 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3569 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3570 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3571 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3572 the legal range.
3573 [Bodo Moeller]
3574
3575 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3576 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3577 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3578
3579 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3580 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3581 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3582 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3583 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3584 [Bodo Moeller]
3585
3586 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3587 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3588
3589 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3590 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3591 followed by modular reduction.
3592 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3593
3594 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3595 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3596 [Bodo Moeller]
3597
3598 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3599 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3600 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3601 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3602 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3603
3604 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3605 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3606
3607 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3608 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3609 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3610
3611 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3612 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3613 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3614 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3615 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3616 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3617 automatically.
3618 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3619
3620 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3621 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3622 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3623 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3624 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3625
3626 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3627 [Andy Polyakov]
3628
3629 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3630 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3631 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3632 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3633 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3634 to allow the necessary settings.
3635 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3636
3637 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3638 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3639 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3640 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3641 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3642
3643 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3644 dh->length and always used
3645
3646 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3647
3648 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3649 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3650 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3651 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3652 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3653 dh->length.
3654
3655 So switch back to
3656
3657 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3658
3659 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3660 otherwise.
3661 [Bodo Moeller]
3662
3663 *) In
3664
3665 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3666 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3667 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3668 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3669
3670 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3671 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3672 always reject numbers >= n.
3673 [Bodo Moeller]
3674
3675 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3676 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3677 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3678 variable) is not atomic.
3679 [Bodo Moeller]
3680
3681 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3682 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3683 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3684 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3685
3686 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3687 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3688
3689 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3690 little-endian MIPS.
3691 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3692
3693 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3694 [Richard Levitte]
3695
3696 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3697
3698 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3699 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3700 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3701 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3702 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3703 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3704 to traverse all of 'state'.
3705
3706 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3707 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3708 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3709
3710 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3711 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3712
3713 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3714 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3715 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3716 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3717 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3718 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3719 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3720 further strengthens the PRNG.
3721 [Bodo Moeller]
3722
3723 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3724 [Andy Polyakov]
3725
3726 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3727 an error message in this case.
3728 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3729
3730 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3731 [Steve Henson]
3732
3733 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3734 positive and less than q.
3735 [Bodo Moeller]
3736
3737 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3738 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3739 that itself.
3740 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3741
3742 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3743 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3744 [Bodo Moeller]
3745
3746 *) Fix OAEP check.
3747 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3748
3749 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3750 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3751 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3752 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3753 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3754 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3755 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3756 paper.)
3757
3758 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3759 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3760 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3761 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3762
3763 Both problems are now fixed.
3764 [Bodo Moeller]
3765
3766 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3767 (previously it was 1024).
3768 [Bodo Moeller]
3769
3770 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3771 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3775 [Steve Henson]
3776
3777 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3778 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3779 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3780 [Steve Henson]
3781
3782 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3783 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3784 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3785 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3786 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3787 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3788 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3789 environment variables.
3790
3791 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3792 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3793 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3794 [Bodo Moeller]
3795
3796 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3797 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3798 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3799 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3800 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3801 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3802 [Bodo Moeller]
3803
3804 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3805 versions of 'test'.
3806 [Bodo Moeller]
3807
3808 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3809
3810 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3811 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3812
3813 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3814 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3815 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3816 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3817 CygWin.
3818 [Richard Levitte]
3819
3820 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3821 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3822 amount of data available.
3823 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3824 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3825
3826 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3827 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3828 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3829 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3830 [Bodo Moeller]
3831
3832 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3833 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3834 and UnixWare.
3835 [Richard Levitte]
3836
3837 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3838 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3839 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3840 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3841 [Ulf Moeller]
3842
3843 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3844 [Andy Polyakov]
3845
3846 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3847 [Richard Levitte]
3848
3849 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3850 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3851 [Steve Henson]
3852 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3853
3854 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3855 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3856 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3857 (but broken) behaviour.
3858 [Steve Henson]
3859
3860 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3861 it when found.
3862 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3863
3864 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3865 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3866 [Bodo Moeller]
3867
3868 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3869 did not exist.
3870 [Bodo Moeller]
3871
3872 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3873 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3874
3875 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3876 [Richard Levitte]
3877
3878 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3879 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3880 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3881
3882 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3883 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3884 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3885 [Steve Henson]
3886
3887 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3888 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3889 [Ulf Moeller]
3890
3891 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3892 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3893
3894 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3895
3896 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3897
3898 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3899 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3900 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3901 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3902 [Bodo Moeller]
3903
3904 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3905 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3906
3907 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3908 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3909 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3910
3911 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3912 was empty.
3913 [Steve Henson]
3914 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3915
3916 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3917 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3918 but the code is actually correct.
3919 [Steve Henson]
3920
3921 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3922 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3923 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3924 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3925 and leaves the highest bit random.
3926 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3927
3928 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3929 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3930 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3931 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3932 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3933 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3934 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3935 [Bodo Moeller]
3936
3937 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3938 [Ulf Moeller]
3939
3940 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3941 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3942 [Steve Henson]
3943
3944 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3945 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3946 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3947 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3948 headers.
3949 [Richard Levitte]
3950
3951 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3952 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3953 and break the signature.
3954 [Steve Henson]
3955 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3956
3957 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3958 DH ciphersuites.
3959 [Steve Henson]
3960
3961 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3962 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3963 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3964 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3965 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3966 [Bodo Moeller]
3967
3968 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3969 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3970
3971 *) ./config script fixes.
3972 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3973
3974 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3975 [Bodo Moeller]
3976
3977 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3978 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3979 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3980 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3981 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3982
3983 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3984 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3985 [Bodo Moeller]
3986
3987 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3988 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3989 [Steve Henson]
3990
3991 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3992 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3993 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3994 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3995
3996 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3997 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3998
3999 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4000 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4001 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4002 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4003 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4004
4005 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4006 [Bodo Moeller]
4007
4008 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4009 [Ulf Möller]
4010
4011 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4012 [Ulf Möller]
4013
4014 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4015 [Bodo Moeller]
4016
4017 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4018 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4019 [Bodo Moeller]
4020
4021 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4022 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4023 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4024 result of the server certificate verification.)
4025 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4026
4027 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4028 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4029 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4030 [Bodo Moeller]
4031
4032 *) Fix SSL_peek:
4033 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4034 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4035 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4036 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4037 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4038 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4039 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4040 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4041 [Bodo Moeller]
4042
4043 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4044 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4045 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4046 happening the other way round.
4047 [Geoff Thorpe]
4048
4049 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4050 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4051 [Bodo Moeller]
4052
4053 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4054 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4055 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4056 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4057 [Richard Levitte]
4058
4059 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4060 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4061
4062 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4063
4064 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4065 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4066 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4067 that.
4068
4069 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4070
4071 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4072
4073 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4074 static ones.
4075 [Richard Levitte]
4076
4077 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4078
4079 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4080 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4081 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4082 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4083 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4084
4085 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4086 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4087 matter what.
4088 [Richard Levitte]
4089
4090 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4091 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4092
4093 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4094
4095 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4096 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4097 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4098 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4099 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4100 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4101 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4102 by the Finished messages.
4103 [Bodo Moeller]
4104
4105 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4106 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4107
4108 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4109 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4110 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4111 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4112 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4113 appropriately.
4114 [Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4117 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4118 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4119 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4120 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4121 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4122 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4123 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4124 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4125 together.
4126 [Steve Henson]
4127
4128 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4129 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4130 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4131 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4132
4133 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4134 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4135 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4136 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4137 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4138 the answer.
4139
4140 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4141 been tested well enough.
4142 [Richard Levitte]
4143
4144 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4145 it can return incorrect results.
4146 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4147 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4148 [Bodo Moeller]
4149
4150 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4151 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4152 include zero length content when signing messages.
4153 [Steve Henson]
4154
4155 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4156 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4157 [Bodo Möller]
4158
4159 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4160 [Richard Levitte]
4161
4162 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4163 wrong sign.
4164 [Ulf Möller]
4165
4166 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4167 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4168 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4169 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4170 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4171 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4172 [Richard Levitte]
4173
4174 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4175 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4176
4177 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4178 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4179
4180 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4181 random number < q in the DSA library.
4182 [Ulf Möller]
4183
4184 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4185 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4186 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4187 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4188 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4189 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4190 just makes things more complicated.)
4191 [Bodo Moeller]
4192
4193 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4194 from EGD.
4195 [Ben Laurie]
4196
4197 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4198 work better on such systems.
4199 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4200
4201 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4202 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4203 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4204 [Steve Henson]
4205
4206 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4207 if there was more than one signature.
4208 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4209
4210 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4211 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4212 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4213 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4214 [Richard Levitte]
4215
4216 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4217 rather than always using the current time.
4218 [Steve Henson]
4219
4220 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4221 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4222 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4223 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4224 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4225 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4226
4227 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4228 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4229
4230 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4231
4232 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4233 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4234 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4235 the same hash value.
4236
4237 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4238 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4239 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4240 with X509_STORE internally.
4241
4242 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4243 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4244
4245 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4246 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4247 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4248 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4249 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4250 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4251 entirely (maybe later...).
4252
4253 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4254
4255 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4256 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4257 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4258 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4259 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4260 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4261 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4262 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4263
4264 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4265 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4266
4267 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4268 to customise the verify behaviour.
4269 [Steve Henson]
4270
4271 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4272 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4273 [Steve Henson]
4274
4275 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4276 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4277 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4278 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4279 request is improperly encoded.
4280 [Steve Henson]
4281
4282 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4283 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4284 BIO_write(b, ...).
4285
4286 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4287 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4288
4289 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4290 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4291 words set to zero.)
4292 [Bodo Moeller]
4293
4294 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4295 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4296 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4297 [Bodo Moeller]
4298
4299 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4300 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4301 BIO/fp routines also added.
4302 [Steve Henson]
4303
4304 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4305 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4306
4307 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4308 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4309 demos/state_machine.
4310 [Ben Laurie]
4311
4312 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4313 generation and verification.
4314 [Steve Henson]
4315
4316 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4317 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4318 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4319 encode and decode it manually.
4320 [Steve Henson]
4321
4322 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4323 compile under VC++.
4324 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4325
4326 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4327 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4328 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4329 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4330
4331 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4332 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4333 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4334 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4335 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4336 [Steve Henson]
4337
4338 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4339 [Richard Levitte]
4340
4341 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4342 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4343 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4344
4345 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4346 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4347 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4348 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4349 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4350 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4351 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4352 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4353
4354 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4355 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4356
4357 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4358
4359 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4360 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4361 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4362
4363 [Richard Levitte]
4364
4365 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4366 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4367 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4368 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4369 [Richard Levitte]
4370
4371 *) MD4 implemented.
4372 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4373
4374 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4375 [Richard Levitte]
4376
4377 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4378 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4379 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4380 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4381 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4382 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4383 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4384 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4385 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4386 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4387 short or long names are found.
4388 [Steve Henson]
4389
4390 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4391 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4392
4393 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4394 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4395 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4396 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4397
4398 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4399 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4400 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4401 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4402 [Bodo Moeller]
4403
4404 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4405 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4406 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4407 [Richard Levitte]
4408
4409 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4410 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4411 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4412 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4413 to allow the various flags to be set.
4414 [Steve Henson]
4415
4416 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4417 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4418 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4419 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4420 dates to be checked.
4421 [Steve Henson]
4422
4423 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4424 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4425 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4426 [Steve Henson]
4427
4428 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4429 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4430 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4431 [Steve Henson]
4432
4433 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4434 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4435 [Bodo Moeller]
4436
4437 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4438 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4439 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4440 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4441 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4442 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4443 [Richard Levitte]
4444
4445 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4446 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4447 Random Numbers.
4448 [Ulf Möller]
4449
4450 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4451 DSA key.
4452 [Steve Henson]
4453
4454 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4455 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4456 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4457 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4458 form signing output easier to verify.
4459 [Steve Henson]
4460
4461 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4462 [Steve Henson]
4463
4464 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4465 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4466 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4467 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4468 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4469 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4470 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4471 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4472 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4473 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4474 [Steve Henson]
4475
4476 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4477
4478 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4479 the syntax given in objects.README.
4480 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4481 obj_mac.h.
4482 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4483 obj_mac.h.
4484
4485 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4486 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4487 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4488 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4489 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4490 consistent name changes.
4491 [Richard Levitte]
4492
4493 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4494 [Bodo Moeller]
4495
4496 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4497 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4498 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4499 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4500 [Richard Levitte]
4501
4502 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4503 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4504 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4505 of safestack.h .
4506 [Steve Henson]
4507
4508 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4509 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4510 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4511 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4512 [Steve Henson]
4513
4514 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4515 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4516 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4517 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4518 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4519 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4520 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4521 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4522 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4523 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4524 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4525 [Steve Henson]
4526
4527 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4528 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4529 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4530 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4531 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4532 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4533 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4534 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4535 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4536 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4537 [Steve Henson]
4538
4539 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4540 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4541 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4542 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4543
4544 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4545 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4546 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4547 omit any duplicate addresses.
4548 [Steve Henson]
4549
4550 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4551 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4552 [Bodo Moeller]
4553
4554 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4555 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4556 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4557 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4558 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4559 [Bodo Moeller]
4560
4561 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4562 software:
4563 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4564 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4565 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4566 Free => OPENSSL_free
4567 [Richard Levitte]
4568
4569 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4570 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4571 [Bodo Moeller]
4572
4573 *) CygWin32 support.
4574 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4575
4576 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4577 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4578 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4579 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4580 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4581 approach.
4582 [Geoff Thorpe]
4583
4584 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4585 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4586 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4587 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4588 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4589 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4590 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4591 [Geoff Thorpe]
4592
4593 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4594 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4595 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4596 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4597 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4598 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4599 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4600 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4601 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4602 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4603 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4604 [Bodo Moeller]
4605
4606 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4607 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4608 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4609 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4610 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4611
4612 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4613 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4614 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4615 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4616 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4617
4618 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4619 ciphers.
4620
4621 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4622 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4623 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4624 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4625
4626 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4627
4628 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4629 of macros.
4630
4631 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4632 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4633 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4634 flags.
4635
4636 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4637 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4638 any installed hardware versions can.
4639 [Steve Henson]
4640
4641 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4642 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4643 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4644 number.
4645 [Bodo Moeller]
4646
4647 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4648 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4649 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4650 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4651 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4652
4653 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4654 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4655 [Steve Henson]
4656
4657 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4658 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4659 [Richard Levitte]
4660
4661 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4662 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4663 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4664 features.
4665 [Steve Henson]
4666
4667 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4668 [Ulf Möller]
4669
4670 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4671 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4672 but no ssl client purpose.
4673 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4674
4675 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4676 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4677 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4678 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4679 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4680 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4681 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4682 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4683 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4684 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4685 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4686 [Steve Henson]
4687
4688 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4689 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4690 be obtained from the error queue.
4691 [Bodo Moeller]
4692
4693 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4694 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4695 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4696 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4697 [Bodo Moeller]
4698
4699 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4700 [Ulf Möller]
4701
4702 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4703 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4704 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4705 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4706 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4707 [Geoff Thorpe]
4708
4709 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4710 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4711 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4712 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4713 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4714 [Geoff Thorpe]
4715
4716 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4717 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4718 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4719 may not be NULL.
4720 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4721
4722 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4723 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4724 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4725 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4726 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4727 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4728 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4729 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4730 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4731 or "the configuration storage API"...
4732
4733 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4734
4735 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4736 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4737
4738 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4739
4740 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4741
4742 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4743 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4744 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4745 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4746 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4747 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4748 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4749
4750 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4751 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4752 [Richard Levitte]
4753
4754 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4755 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4756 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4757 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4758 [Bodo Moeller]
4759
4760 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4761 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4762 them in a portable way.
4763 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4764
4765 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4766
4767 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4768
4769 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4770 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4771
4772 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4773 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4774 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4775 <attili@amaxo.com>]
4776
4777 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4778 was larger than the MD block size.
4779 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4780
4781 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4782 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4783 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4784 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4785 components.
4786 [Steve Henson]
4787
4788 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4789 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4790 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4791
4792 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4793 discouraged.
4794 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4795
4796 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4797 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4798 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4799 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4800 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4801 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4802
4803 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4804 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4805
4806 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4807 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4808 [Bodo Moeller]
4809
4810 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4811 [Bodo Moeller]
4812
4813 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4814 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4815 its own key.
4816 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4817 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4818 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4819 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4820 [Bodo Moeller]
4821
4822 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4823 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4824 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4825 does not suppress any output.
4826 [Richard Levitte]
4827
4828 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4829 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4830 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4831 with all the associated security issues.
4832
4833 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4834 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4835 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4836 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4837 use the value in the default purpose.
4838 [Steve Henson]
4839
4840 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4841 and fix a memory leak.
4842 [Steve Henson]
4843
4844 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4845 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4846 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4847 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4848 [Bodo Moeller]
4849
4850 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4851 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4852 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4853 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4854 [Bodo Moeller]
4855
4856 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4857 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4858 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4859 [Bodo Moeller]
4860
4861 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4862 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4863 [Bodo Moeller]
4864
4865 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4866 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4867 which was free.
4868 [Steve Henson]
4869
4870 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4871 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4872 [Bodo Moeller]
4873
4874 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4875 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4876 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4877 [Bodo Moeller]
4878
4879 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4880 number generation fails.
4881 [Bodo Moeller]
4882
4883 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4884 [Bodo Moeller]
4885
4886 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4887 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4888
4889 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4890 [Ulf Möller]
4891
4892 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4893 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4894
4895 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4896 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4897
4898 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4899
4900 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4901 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4902 [Steve Henson]
4903
4904 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4905 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4906
4907 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4908 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4909 [Ulf Möller]
4910
4911 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4912 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4913 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4914 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4915 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4916 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4917
4918 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4919 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4920 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4921 for example.
4922 [Steve Henson]
4923
4924 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4925 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4926 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4927 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4928 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4929 counter, some don't.)
4930 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4931 counters or duplicate objects.
4932 [Steve Henson]
4933
4934 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4935 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4936 [Steve Henson]
4937
4938 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4939 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4940 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4941
4942 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4943 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4944 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4945 or -rand.
4946 [Ulf Möller]
4947
4948 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4949 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4950 [Steve Henson]
4951
4952 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4953 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4954 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4955 cipher list.
4956 [Steve Henson]
4957
4958 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4959 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4960 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4961 [Steve Henson]
4962
4963 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4964 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4965 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4966 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4967 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4968 should work without changes.
4969 [Richard Levitte]
4970
4971 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4972 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4973 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4974 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4975 must be defined. E.g.,
4976 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4977 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4978 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4979 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4980
4981 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4982 record layer.
4983 [Bodo Moeller]
4984
4985 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4986 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4987 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4988 [Steve Henson]
4989
4990 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4991 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4992 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4993 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4994 [Steve Henson]
4995
4996 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4997 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4998 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4999 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5000 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5001 is prompted for as usual.
5002 [Steve Henson]
5003
5004 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5005 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5006 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5007 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5008
5009 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5010 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5011 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5012 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5013 [Steve Henson]
5014
5015 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5016 [Andy Polyakov]
5017
5018 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5019 of seed file.
5020 [Steve Henson]
5021
5022 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5023 [Bodo Moeller]
5024
5025 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5026 [Steve Henson]
5027
5028 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5029 bits.
5030 [Ulf Möller]
5031
5032 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5033 [Ulf Möller]
5034
5035 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5036 [Andy Polyakov]
5037
5038 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5039 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5040 [Ulf Möller]
5041
5042 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5043 options to produce them.
5044 [Steve Henson]
5045
5046 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5047 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5048 [Ulf Möller]
5049
5050 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5051 for p == 0.
5052 [Ulf Möller]
5053
5054 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5055 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5056 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5057 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5058 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5059 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5060 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5061 [Steve Henson]
5062
5063 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5064 [Steve Henson]
5065
5066 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5067 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5068 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5069 [Bodo Moeller]
5070
5071 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5072 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5073
5074 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5075 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5076 [Ulf Möller]
5077
5078 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5079 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5080 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5081 has already seen).
5082 [Bodo Moeller]
5083
5084 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5085 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5086
5087 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5088 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5089 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5090 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5091 generation becomes much faster.
5092
5093 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5094 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5095 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5096 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5097 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5098 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5099 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5100 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5101 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5102 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5103 [Bodo Moeller]
5104
5105 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5106 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5107 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5108 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5109 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5110 trial division stage.
5111 [Bodo Moeller]
5112
5113 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5114 as ASN1_TIME.
5115 [Steve Henson]
5116
5117 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5118 [Steve Henson]
5119
5120 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5121 [Ulf Möller]
5122
5123 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5124 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5125 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5126 the comments.
5127 [Ulf Möller]
5128
5129 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5130 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5131 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5132 [Bodo Moeller]
5133
5134 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5135 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5136 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5137 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5138
5139 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5140 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5141 [Steve Henson]
5142
5143 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5144 [Ulf Möller]
5145
5146 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5147 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5148 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5149 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5150 [Ulf Möller]
5151
5152 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5153 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5154 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5155 [Ulf Möller]
5156
5157 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5158 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5159 (instead of parameters) in future.
5160 [Steve Henson]
5161
5162 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5163 when a new cipher list is set.
5164 [Steve Henson]
5165
5166 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5167 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5168 wrong.
5169
5170 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5171 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5172 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5173
5174 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5175 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5176 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5177 an error is flagged.
5178
5179 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5180 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5181 the readability was also increased :-)
5182 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5183
5184 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5185 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5186 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5187 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5188 as the root CA.
5189 [Steve Henson]
5190
5191 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5192 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5193 [Steve Henson]
5194
5195 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5196 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5197 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5198 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5199 instead.
5200
5201 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5202 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5203 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5204 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5205 because they handle more complex structures.)
5206 [Steve Henson]
5207
5208 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5209 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5210 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5211 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5212
5213 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5214 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5215 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5216 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5217 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5218 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5219 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5220 [Ulf Möller]
5221
5222 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5223 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5224 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5225 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5226 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5227 [Bodo Moeller]
5228
5229 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5230 [Bodo Moeller]
5231
5232 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5233 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5234 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5235 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5236 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5237 to use this.
5238
5239 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5240 code.
5241 [Steve Henson]
5242
5243 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5244 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5245 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5246 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5247 [Steve Henson]
5248
5249 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5250 [Ulf Möller]
5251
5252 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5253 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5254 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5255 international characters are used.
5256
5257 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5258 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5259 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5260 in ASN1 order.
5261 [Steve Henson]
5262
5263 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5264 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5265 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5266 request.
5267
5268 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5269 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5270 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5271 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5272 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5273 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5274
5275 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5276 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5277 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5278 be handled by the string table functions.
5279
5280 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5281 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5282 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5283 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5284 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5285 types at all.
5286 [Steve Henson]
5287
5288 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5289 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5290 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5291 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5292 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5293
5294 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5295 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5296 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5297 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5298 [Bodo Moeller]
5299
5300 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5301 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5302 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5303 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5304 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5305 SHA1.
5306 [Andy Polyakov]
5307
5308 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5309 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5310 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5311 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5312 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5313 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5314 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5315 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5316
5317 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5318 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5319 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5320 [Steve Henson]
5321
5322 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5323 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5324 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5325 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5326 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5327 support to pkcs8 application.
5328 [Steve Henson]
5329
5330 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5331 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5332 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5333 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5334 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5335 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5336 [Bodo Moeller]
5337
5338 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5339 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5340 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5341 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5342 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5343 consistency.
5344 [Bodo Moeller]
5345
5346 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5347 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5348 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5349 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5350 example.
5351 [Steve Henson]
5352
5353 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5354 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5355 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5356 and any application specific purposes.
5357
5358 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5359 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5360 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5361 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5362 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5363 if the certificate is self signed.
5364 [Steve Henson]
5365
5366 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5367 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5368 [Steve Henson]
5369
5370 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5371 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5372 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5373 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5374 [Steve Henson]
5375
5376 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5377 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5378 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5379 Update documentation.
5380 [Steve Henson]
5381
5382 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5383 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5384 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5385 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5386 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5387 [Steve Henson]
5388
5389 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5390 for details.
5391 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5392
5393 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5394 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5395 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5396 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5397 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5398 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5399 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5400 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5401 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5402 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5403
5404 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5405
5406 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5407 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5408 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5409 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5410 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5411
5412 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5413 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5414 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5415 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5416 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5417 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5418 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5419 request additional information:
5420 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5421 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5422
5423 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5424 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5425 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5426 options.
5427
5428 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5429 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5430
5431 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
5432 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5433 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
5434
5435 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5436 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5437
5438 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5439 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5440 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5441 algorithm.
5442 [Steve Henson]
5443
5444 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5445 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5446 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5447
5448 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5449 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5450 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5451 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5452 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5453 included in OpenSSL.
5454 [Steve Henson]
5455
5456 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5457 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5458 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5459 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5460 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5461 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5462 [Bodo Moeller]
5463
5464 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5465 PKCS12 structure.
5466 [Steve Henson]
5467
5468 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5469 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5470 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5471 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5472 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5473 structure.
5474 [Steve Henson]
5475
5476 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5477 need initialising.
5478 [Steve Henson]
5479
5480 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5481 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5482 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5483 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5484 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5485 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5486 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5487 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5488 be maintained manually.
5489
5490 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5491 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5492 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5493 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5494 work because people forget to call this function]
5495 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5496 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5497 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5498 [Steve Henson]
5499
5500 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5501 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5502 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5503 should be discouraged from doing it.
5504 [Ben Laurie]
5505
5506 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5507 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5508 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5509 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5510 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5511 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5512 [Steve Henson]
5513
5514 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5515 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5516 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5517
5518 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5519 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5520 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5521
5522 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5523 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5524 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5525 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5526 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5527 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5528
5529 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5530 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5531 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5532
5533 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5534 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5535 and vice versa.
5536
5537 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5538 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5539 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5540 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5541 [Steve Henson]
5542
5543 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5544 [Steve Henson]
5545
5546 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5547 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5548 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5549 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5550 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5551 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5552 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5553 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5554 keys so we should be OK.
5555
5556 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5557 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5558 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5559 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5560 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5561 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5562 stay in the name of compatibility.
5563
5564 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5565 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5566 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5567
5568 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5569 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5570 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5571 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5572 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5573 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5574 supplied key).
5575 [Steve Henson]
5576
5577 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5578 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5579 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5580 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5581 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5582 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5583 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5584 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5585 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5586 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5587 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5588 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5589 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5590 [Steve Henson]
5591
5592 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5593 [Steve Henson]
5594
5595 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5596 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5597 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5598 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5599 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5600 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5601 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5602 openssl verify ss.pem
5603 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5604 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5605 is OK.
5606 [Steve Henson]
5607
5608 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5609 (and add it to external session representation).
5610 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5611 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5612 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5613 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5614 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5615 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5616 security holes.
5617 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5618
5619 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5620 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5621 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5622 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5623
5624 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5625 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5626 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5627 [Steve Henson]
5628
5629 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5630 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5631 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5632 code.
5633 [Steve Henson]
5634
5635 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5636 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5637 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5638
5639 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5640 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5641 certificate auxiliary information.
5642 [Steve Henson]
5643
5644 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5645 the 'enc' command.
5646 [Steve Henson]
5647
5648 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5649 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5650 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5651 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5652 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5653 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5654 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5655 [Richard Levitte]
5656
5657 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5658 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5659 [Steve Henson]
5660
5661 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5662 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5663 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5664 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5665 [Steve Henson]
5666
5667 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5668 [Steve Henson]
5669
5670 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5671 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5672 [Steve Henson]
5673
5674 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5675 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5676 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5677 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5678 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5679 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5680 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5681 using the new 'x509' options.
5682
5683 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5684 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5685 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5686 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5687 for all purposes.
5688 [Steve Henson]
5689
5690 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5691 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5692 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5693 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5694 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5695 [Mark Cox]
5696
5697 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5698 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5699 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5700 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5701 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5702 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5703 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5704 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5705 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5706 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5707 [Steve Henson]
5708
5709 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5710 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5711 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5712 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5713 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5714 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5715 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5716 [Steve Henson]
5717
5718 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5719 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5720 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5721 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5722 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5723 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5724 openssl.cnf for more info.
5725 [Steve Henson]
5726
5727 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5728 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5729 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5730 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5731 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5732 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5733 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5734 md should be large enough anyway.
5735 [Bodo Moeller]
5736
5737 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5738 for handling the random seed file.
5739
5740 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5741 ca,
5742 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5743 s_client,
5744 s_server,
5745 x509 (when signing).
5746 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5747 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5748 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5749
5750 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5751 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5752 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5753 that support '-rand'.
5754 [Bodo Moeller]
5755
5756 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5757 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5758 [Bodo Moeller]
5759
5760 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5761 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5762 [Bill Perry]
5763
5764 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5765 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5766 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5767 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5768 is suitable.
5769 [Steve Henson]
5770
5771 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5772 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5773 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5774 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5775 [Steve Henson]
5776
5777 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5778 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5779 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5780 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5781 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5782 print out all the purposes.
5783 [Steve Henson]
5784
5785 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5786 functions.
5787 [Steve Henson]
5788
5789 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5790 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5791 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5792 single function call.
5793 [Steve Henson]
5794
5795 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5796 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5797 [Andy Polyakov]
5798
5799 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5800 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5801 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5802 [Steve Henson]
5803
5804 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5805 when producing the local key id.
5806 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5807
5808 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5809 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5810 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5811 "server.pem".
5812 [Steve Henson]
5813
5814 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5815 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5816 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5817 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5818 [Steve Henson]
5819
5820 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5821 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5822 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5823 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5824
5825 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5826 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5827 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5828 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5829
5830 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5831 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5832 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5833 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5834 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5835 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5836 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5837 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5838 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5839 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5840 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5841 trivial: move one line.
5842 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5843
5844 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5845 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5846 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5847 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5848 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5849 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5850 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5851 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5852 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5853 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5854 with an event loop for example.
5855 [Steve Henson]
5856
5857 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5858 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5859 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5860 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5861 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5862 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5863 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5864 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5865 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5866 [Steve Henson]
5867
5868 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5869 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5870 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5871 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5872 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5873 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5874 [Steve Henson]
5875
5876 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5877 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5878 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5879 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5880
5881 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5882 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5883 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5884 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5885 key generation.
5886 [Steve Henson]
5887
5888 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5889 (still largely untested)
5890 [Bodo Moeller]
5891
5892 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5893 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5894 [Steve Henson]
5895
5896 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5897 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5898 [Steve Henson]
5899
5900 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5901 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5902 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5903 [Bodo Moeller]
5904
5905 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5906 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5907 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5908 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5909 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5910 [Steve Henson]
5911
5912 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5913 [Andy Polyakov]
5914
5915 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5916 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5917 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5918 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5919 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5920 in ca.
5921 [Steve Henson]
5922
5923 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5924 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5925 1.OU="Unit name 1"
5926 2.OU="Unit name 2"
5927 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5928 [Steve Henson]
5929
5930 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5931 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5932 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5933 are otherwise ignored at present.
5934 [Steve Henson]
5935
5936 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5937 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5938 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5939 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5940 copied until the next read.
5941 [Steve Henson]
5942
5943 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5944 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5945 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5946 [Steve Henson]
5947
5948 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5949 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5950 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5951 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5952 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5953 associated functions.
5954 [Steve Henson]
5955
5956 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5957 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5958 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5959 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5960 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5961 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5962 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5963 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5964 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5965 memory BIOs.
5966 [Steve Henson]
5967
5968 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5969 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5970 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5971 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5972 [Bodo Moeller]
5973
5974 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5975 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5976 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5977 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5978 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5979 functionality.
5980 [Steve Henson]
5981
5982 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5983 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5984 under Win32.
5985 [Steve Henson]
5986
5987 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5988 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5989 extensions to be obtained and added.
5990 [Steve Henson]
5991
5992 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5993 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5994 [Bodo Moeller]
5995
5996 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5997
5998 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5999 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6000
6001 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6002 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6003
6004 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6005 program.
6006 [Steve Henson]
6007
6008 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6009 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6010 DH parameters contain its length).
6011
6012 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6013 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6014 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6015 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6016 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6017 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6018 utter importance to use
6019 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6020 or
6021 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6022 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6023 attacks may become possible!
6024 [Bodo Moeller]
6025
6026 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6027 [Bodo Moeller]
6028
6029 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6030 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6031 [Steve Henson]
6032
6033 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6034 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6035 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6036 or long name.
6037 [Steve Henson]
6038
6039 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6040 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6041 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6042 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6043 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6044 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6045 private key operations.
6046 [Steve Henson]
6047
6048 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6049 [Andy Polyakov]
6050
6051 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6052 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6053 to
6054 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6055 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6056 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6057 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6058 the password callback is called.
6059 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6060
6061 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6062
6063 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6064 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6065 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6066 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6067 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6068 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6069 this will work.
6070
6071 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6072 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6073 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6074 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6075 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6076 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6077 [Bodo Moeller]
6078
6079 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6080 [Andy Polyakov]
6081
6082 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6083 delete an unused file.
6084 [Ulf Möller]
6085
6086 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6087 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6088 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6089 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6090 [Steve Henson]
6091
6092 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6093 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6094 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6095 of an error.
6096 [Bodo Moeller]
6097
6098 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6099 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6100 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6101
6102 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6103 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6104 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6105 comparison" warnings.
6106 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6107 [Steve Henson]
6108
6109 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6110 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6111 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6112 [Steve Henson]
6113
6114 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6115 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6116
6117 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6118 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6119
6120 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6121 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6122 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6123
6124 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6125 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6126 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6127 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6128 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6129 this bug.
6130 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6131
6132 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6133 The interface is as follows:
6134 Applications can use
6135 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6136 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6137 "off" is now the default.
6138 The library internally uses
6139 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6140 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6141 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6142
6143 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6144 even the default) are now avoided.
6145
6146 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6147 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6148 than just having a counter.
6149
6150 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6151
6152 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6153 extensions.
6154 [Bodo Moeller]
6155
6156 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6157 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6158 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6159 Initial "mode" flags are:
6160
6161 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6162 a single record has been written.
6163 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6164 retries use the same buffer location.
6165 (But all of the contents must be
6166 copied!)
6167 [Bodo Moeller]
6168
6169 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6170 worked.
6171
6172 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6173 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6174
6175 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6176 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6177 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6178 [Steve Henson]
6179
6180 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6181 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6182 test programs.
6183 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6184
6185 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6186 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6187 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6188 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6189 point to the end.
6190 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6191 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6192
6193 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6194 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6195 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6196 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6197 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6198 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6199 [Steve Henson]
6200
6201 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6202 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6203 necessary function names.
6204 [Steve Henson]
6205
6206 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6207 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6208 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6209 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6210 [Bodo Moeller]
6211
6212 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6213 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6214 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6215 [Steve Henson]
6216
6217 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6218 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6219 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6220 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6221 such programs?)
6222 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6223 need locks.
6224 [Bodo Moeller]
6225
6226 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6227 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6228 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6229 [Bodo Moeller]
6230
6231 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6232 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6233 appropriate.
6234 [Bodo Moeller]
6235
6236 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6237 for the encoded length.
6238 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6239
6240 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6241 [Steve Henson]
6242
6243 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6244 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6245 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6246 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6247 [Steve Henson]
6248
6249 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6250 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6251 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6252
6253 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6254 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6255 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6256 unusual formatting.
6257 [Steve Henson]
6258
6259 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6260 to use the new extension code.
6261 [Steve Henson]
6262
6263 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6264 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6265 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6266 constant.
6267 [Steve Henson]
6268
6269 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6270 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6271 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6272 [Bodo Moeller]
6273
6274 #if 0
6275 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6276 [Ben Laurie]
6277 #else
6278 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6279 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6280 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6281 #endif
6282
6283 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6284 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6285 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6286 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6287 [Ben Laurie]
6288
6289 *) DES library cleanups.
6290 [Ulf Möller]
6291
6292 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6293 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6294 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6295 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6296 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6297 of v2.0.
6298 [Steve Henson]
6299
6300 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6301 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6302 [Bodo Moeller]
6303
6304 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6305 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6306 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6307 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6308 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6309 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6310 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6311 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6312 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6313 [Steve Henson]
6314
6315 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6316 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6317 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6318 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6319 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6320 value doesn't matter.
6321 [Steve Henson]
6322
6323 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6324 support mutable.
6325 [Ben Laurie]
6326
6327 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6328 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6329 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6330 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6331
6332 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6333 [Ulf Möller]
6334
6335 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6336 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6337 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6338
6339 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6340 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6341
6342 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6343 [Ben Laurie]
6344
6345 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6346 [Ben Laurie]
6347
6348 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6349 [Ben Laurie]
6350
6351 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6352 [Bodo Moeller]
6353
6354
6355 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6356
6357 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6358
6359 *) Updated some demos.
6360 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6361
6362 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6363 [Wu Zhigang]
6364
6365 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6366 [Steve Henson]
6367
6368 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6369 [Steve Henson]
6370
6371 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6372 instead of using a fixed path.
6373 [Bodo Moeller]
6374
6375 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6376 [Andy Polyakov]
6377
6378 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6379 [Richard Levitte]
6380
6381
6382 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6383
6384 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6385 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6386 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6387
6388 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6389 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6390 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6391 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6392 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6393 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6394 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6395 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6396 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6397 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6398 [Steve Henson]
6399
6400 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6401 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6402 [Steve Henson]
6403
6404 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6405 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6406 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6407 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6408 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6409
6410 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6411 [Bodo Moeller]
6412
6413 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6414 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6415 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6416 [Steve Henson]
6417
6418 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6419 [Ben Laurie]
6420
6421 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6422 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6423 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6424 key elements as negative integers.
6425 [Steve Henson]
6426
6427 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6428 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6429
6430 *) VMS support.
6431 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6432
6433 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6434 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6435 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6436 [Steve Henson]
6437
6438 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6439 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6440 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6441 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6442 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6443 [Bodo Moeller]
6444
6445 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6446 [Ulf Möller]
6447
6448 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6449 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6450 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6451 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6452
6453 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6454 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6455 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6456
6457 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6458 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6459 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6460 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6461 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6462 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6463 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6464 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6465 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6466
6467 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6468 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6469 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6470 does not influence s as it used to.
6471
6472 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6473 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6474 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6475 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6476 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6477 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6478 [Bodo Moeller]
6479
6480 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6481 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6482 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6483 key type.
6484 [Steve Henson]
6485
6486 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6487 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6488 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6489 and 'x509').
6490 [Steve Henson]
6491
6492 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6493 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6494 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6495 extension option.
6496 [Steve Henson]
6497
6498 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6499 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6500 [Ben Laurie]
6501
6502 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6503 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6504
6505 *) Support Mingw32.
6506 [Ulf Möller]
6507
6508 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6509 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6510
6511 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6512 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6513
6514 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6515 [Ulf Möller]
6516
6517 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6518 [Anonymous]
6519
6520 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6521 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6522
6523 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6524 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6525 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6526 DER-encoded.)
6527 [Bodo Moeller]
6528
6529 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6530 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6531 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6532 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6533 now it really counts the depth.
6534 [Bodo Moeller]
6535
6536 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6537 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6538 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6539 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6540 didn't match the private key).
6541
6542 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6543 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6544 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6545 [Bodo Moeller]
6546
6547 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6548 [Ulf Möller]
6549
6550 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6551 David Harris.
6552 [Bodo Moeller]
6553
6554 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6555 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6556 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6557 [Bodo Moeller]
6558
6559 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6560 [Bodo Moeller]
6561
6562 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6563 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6564 such as /usr/local/bin.
6565 [Bodo Moeller]
6566
6567 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6568 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6569
6570 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6571 [Ulf Möller]
6572
6573 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6574 extension adding in x509 utility.
6575 [Steve Henson]
6576
6577 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6578 [Ulf Möller]
6579
6580 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6581 prototypes.
6582 [Steve Henson]
6583
6584 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6585 [Ulf Möller]
6586
6587 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6588 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6589 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6590 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6591 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6592 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6593 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6594 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6595 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6596 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6597 [Steve Henson]
6598
6599 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6600 [Bodo Moeller]
6601
6602 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6603 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6604 [Bodo Moeller]
6605
6606 *) Fix some race conditions.
6607 [Bodo Moeller]
6608
6609 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6610 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6611 [Steve Henson]
6612
6613 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6614 [Ulf Möller]
6615
6616 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6617 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6618 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6619 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6620
6621 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6622 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6623
6624 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6625 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6626 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6627
6628 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6629 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6630
6631 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6632 [Ulf Möller]
6633
6634 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6635 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6636
6637 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6638 [Ulf Möller]
6639
6640 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6641 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6642
6643 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6644 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6645 [Steve Henson]
6646
6647 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6648 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6649 [Ben Laurie]
6650
6651 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6652 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6653 [Steve Henson]
6654
6655 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6656 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6657 [Steve Henson]
6658
6659 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6660 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6661 [Steve Henson]
6662
6663 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6664 support typesafe stack.
6665 [Steve Henson]
6666
6667 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6668 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6669
6670 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6671 old X509V3 handling code.
6672 [Steve Henson]
6673
6674 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6675 [Ulf Möller]
6676
6677 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6678 [Bodo Moeller]
6679
6680 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6681 [Ben Laurie]
6682
6683 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6684 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6685
6686 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6687 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6688 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6689 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6690 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6691 [Ben Laurie]
6692
6693 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6694 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6695 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6696 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6697 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6698
6699 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6700 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6701 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6702 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6703
6704 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6705 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6706 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6707 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6708
6709 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6710 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6711 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6712 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6713 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6714 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6715 [Bodo Moeller]
6716
6717 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6718 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6719 [Bodo Moeller]
6720
6721 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6722 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6723 [Ulf Möller]
6724
6725 *) Tweaks to Configure
6726 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6727
6728 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6729 yet...
6730 [Steve Henson]
6731
6732 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6733 [Ulf Möller]
6734
6735 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6736 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6737 [Ulf Möller]
6738
6739 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6740 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6741 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6742 [Bodo Moeller]
6743
6744 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6745 [Bodo Moeller]
6746
6747 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6748 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6749 [Steve Henson]
6750
6751 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6752 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6753 to library startup routines.
6754 [Steve Henson]
6755
6756 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6757 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6758 codes along the way.
6759 [Steve Henson]
6760
6761 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6762 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6763 objects to objects.h
6764 [Steve Henson]
6765
6766 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6767 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6768 [Steve Henson]
6769
6770 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6771 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6772
6773 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6774 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6775 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6776
6777 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6778 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6779 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6780
6781 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6782 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6783 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6784
6785
6786 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6787
6788 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6789 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6790 [Ben Laurie]
6791
6792 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6793 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6794 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6795 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6796 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6797
6798 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6799 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6800 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6801 document.
6802 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6803
6804 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6805 Malloc, Free.
6806 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6807
6808 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6809 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6810
6811 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6812 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6813 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6814 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6815
6816 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6817 [Ben Laurie]
6818
6819 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6820 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6821 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6822 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6823 [Steve Henson]
6824
6825 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6826 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6827 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6828 [Steve Henson]
6829
6830 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6831 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6832 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6833 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6834 installed as `perl').
6835 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6836
6837 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6838 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6839
6840 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6841 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6842 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6843 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6844 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6845 [Steve Henson]
6846
6847 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6848 [Ben Laurie]
6849
6850 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6851 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6852 is horrible: I feel ill....
6853 [Steve Henson]
6854
6855 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6856 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6857 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6858 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6859 [Steve Henson]
6860
6861 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6862 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6863
6864 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6865 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6866 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6867 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6868
6869 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6870 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6871 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6872 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6873 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6874 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6875 openssl_bio.xs.
6876 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6877
6878 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6879 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6880
6881 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6882 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6883
6884 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6885 [Ben Laurie]
6886
6887 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6888 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6889 in CRLs.
6890 [Steve Henson]
6891
6892 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6893 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6894 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6895 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6896 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6897 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6898 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6899 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6900 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6901 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6902 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6903
6904 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6905 [Ben Laurie]
6906
6907 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6908 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6909 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6910 for linking it into DSOs.
6911 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6912
6913 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6914 Fixed.
6915 [Ben Laurie]
6916
6917 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6918 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6919 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6920 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6921 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6922 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6923
6924 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6925 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6926 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6927 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6928 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6929 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6930 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6931
6932 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6933 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6934 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6935 encryption.
6936 [Ben Laurie]
6937
6938 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6939 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6940 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6941 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6942 [Steve Henson]
6943
6944 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6945 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6946 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6947 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6948 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6949 field as blank.
6950 [Steve Henson]
6951
6952 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6953 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6954 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6955 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6956 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6957
6958 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6959 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6960 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6961
6962 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6963 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6964
6965 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6966 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6967 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6968 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6969 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6970 [Steve Henson]
6971
6972 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6973 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6974 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6975 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6976 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6977 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6978 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6979 [Ben Laurie]
6980
6981 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6982 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
6983 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6984 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6985 [Ben Laurie]
6986
6987 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6988 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6989
6990 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6991 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6992 [Steve Henson]
6993
6994 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6995 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6996 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6997 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6998 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6999 (e.g. s_server).
7000 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7001 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7002 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7003 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7004 no way to reconfigure them.
7005 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7006 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7007 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7008 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7009 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7010 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7011
7012 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7013 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7014 recognized by the users.
7015 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7016
7017 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7018 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7019 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7020 already masked variable.
7021 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7022
7023 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7024 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7025
7026 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7027 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7028 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7029 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7030
7031 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7032 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7033 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7034
7035 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7036 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7037 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7038 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7039 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7040 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7041 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7042 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7043 now, too.
7044 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7045
7046 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7047 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7048 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7049
7050 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7051 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7052 config file.
7053 [Steve Henson]
7054
7055 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7056 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7057
7058 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7059 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7060 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7061 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7062 [Ben Laurie]
7063
7064 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7065 [Steve Henson]
7066
7067 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7068 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7069
7070 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7071 [Ben Laurie]
7072
7073 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7074 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7075 [Steve Henson]
7076
7077 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7078 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7079 [Steve Henson]
7080
7081 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7082 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7083 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7084 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7085 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7086 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7087 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7088 Ben Laurie]
7089
7090 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7091 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7092
7093 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7094 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7095 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7096 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7097 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7098
7099 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7100 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7101 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7102 [Steve Henson]
7103
7104 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7105 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7106 an example.
7107 [Steve Henson]
7108
7109 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7110 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7111 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7112
7113 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7114 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7115 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7116 build instructions.
7117 [Steve Henson]
7118
7119 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7120 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7121 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7122 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7123 [Steve Henson]
7124
7125 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7126 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7127 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7128 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7129 [Ben Laurie]
7130
7131 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7132 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7133 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7134 so it wasn't spotted.
7135 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7136
7137 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7138 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7139 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7140 vectors if you have them.
7141 [Ben Laurie]
7142
7143 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7144 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7145 [Ben Laurie]
7146
7147 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7148 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7149 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7150 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7151 If you do a:
7152 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7153 it will update them.
7154 [Steve Henson]
7155
7156 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7157 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7158 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7159 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7160 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7161 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7162 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7163 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7164
7165 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7166 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7167 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7168 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7169 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7170 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7171 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7172 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7173 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7174 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7175
7176 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7177 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7178 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7179 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7180 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7181 [Steve Henson]
7182
7183 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7184 INTEGER code.
7185 [Steve Henson]
7186
7187 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7188 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7189
7190 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7191 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7192
7193 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7194 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7195 [Ben Laurie]
7196
7197 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7198 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7199
7200 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7201 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7202
7203 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7204 [Steve Henson]
7205
7206 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7207 few typos.
7208 [Steve Henson]
7209
7210 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7211 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7212 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7213 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7214
7215 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7216 [Steve Henson]
7217
7218 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7219 [Steve Henson]
7220
7221 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7222 [Steve Henson]
7223
7224 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7225 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7226 [Steve Henson]
7227
7228 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7229 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7230 CA extensions.
7231 [Steve Henson]
7232
7233 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7234 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7235 [Steve Henson]
7236
7237 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7238 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7239 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7240 [Steve Henson]
7241
7242 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7243 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7244 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7245 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7246 properly to be processed.
7247 [Steve Henson]
7248
7249 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7250 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7251 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7252 [Ben Laurie]
7253
7254 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7255 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7256
7257 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7258 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7259 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7260 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7261 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7262 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7263 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7264 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7265 or delete all the .err files.
7266 [Steve Henson]
7267
7268 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7269 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7270 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7271 to regenerate it if needed.
7272 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7273 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7274
7275 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7276 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7277
7278 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7279 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7280 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7281 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7282 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7283 [Steve Henson]
7284
7285 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7286 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7287
7288 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7289 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7290
7291 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7292 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7293 error, but didn't set one).
7294 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7295
7296 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7297 [Ben Laurie]
7298
7299 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7300 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7301 [Steve Henson]
7302
7303 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7304 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7305
7306 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7307 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7308 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7309 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7310 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7311 OID is not part of the table.
7312 [Steve Henson]
7313
7314 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7315 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7316 [Ben Laurie]
7317
7318 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7319 [Ben Laurie]
7320
7321 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7322 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7323 was "1234").
7324 [Steve Henson]
7325
7326 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7327 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7328
7329 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7330 NULL pointers.
7331 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7332
7333 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7334 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7335
7336 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7337 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7338
7339 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7340 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7341
7342 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7343 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7344 [Ben Laurie]
7345
7346 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7347 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7348 [Steve Henson]
7349
7350 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7351 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7352
7353 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7354 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7355
7356 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7357 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7358
7359 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7360 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7361
7362 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7363 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7364 unused in the certificate verification process.
7365 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7366
7367 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7368 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7369 [Steve Henson]
7370
7371 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7372 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7373 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7374
7375 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7376 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7377 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7378 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7379 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7380
7381 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7382 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7386 [Steve Henson]
7387
7388 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7389 [Paul Sutton]
7390
7391 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7392 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7393
7394 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7395 [Ben Laurie]
7396
7397 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7398 [Ben Laurie]
7399
7400 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7401 [Ben Laurie]
7402
7403 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7404 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7405 other error libraries.
7406 [Steve Henson]
7407
7408 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7409 [Steve Henson]
7410
7411 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7412 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7413 be read in.
7414 [Steve Henson]
7415
7416 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7417 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7418 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7419 the new set of documenation files.
7420 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7421
7422 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7423 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7424 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7425 number of arguments.
7426 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7427
7428 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7429 [Ben Laurie]
7430
7431 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7432 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7433 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7434
7435 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7436 [Ben Laurie]
7437
7438 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7439 nextstep
7440 ncr-scde
7441 unixware-2.0
7442 unixware-2.0-pentium
7443 sco5-cc.
7444 [Ben Laurie]
7445
7446 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7447 before they are needed.
7448 [Ben Laurie]
7449
7450 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7451 [Ben Laurie]
7452
7453
7454 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7455
7456 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7457 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7458 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7459
7460 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7461 [Paul Sutton]
7462
7463 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7464 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7465 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7466
7467 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7468 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7469 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7470
7471 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7472 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7473 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7474
7475 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7476 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7477
7478 *) Updated the README file.
7479 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7480
7481 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7482 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7483 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7484
7485 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7486 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7487 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7488
7489 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7490 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7491 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7492 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7493 o removed obsolete TODO file
7494 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7495 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7496
7497 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7498 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7499 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
7500 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
7501 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
7502 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7503 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7504
7505 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7506 [Mark J. Cox]
7507
7508 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7509 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7510 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7511 summer 1998.
7512 [The OpenSSL Project]
7513
7514
7515 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7516
7517 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7518 [Eric A. Young]
7519
7520 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7521 [Eric A. Young]
7522
7523 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7524 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7525 [Eric A. Young]
7526
7527 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7528 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7529 available).
7530 [Eric A. Young]
7531
7532 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7533 binary structures
7534 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7535
7536 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7537 [Eric A. Young]
7538
7539 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7540 [Eric A. Young]
7541
7542 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7543 [Eric A. Young]
7544
7545 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7546 [Eric A. Young]
7547
7548 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7549 [Eric A. Young]
7550
7551 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7552 [Eric A. Young]
7553
7554 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7555 [Eric A. Young]
7556
7557 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7558 [Eric A. Young]
7559
7560 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7561 [Eric A. Young]
7562
7563 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7564 [Eric A. Young]
7565
7566 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7567 [Eric A. Young]
7568
7569 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7570 [Eric A. Young]
7571
7572 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7573 [Eric A. Young]
7574
7575 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7576 [Eric A. Young]
7577
7578 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7579 [Eric A. Young]
7580
7581 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7582 [Eric A. Young]
7583
7584 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7585 [Eric A. Young]
7586
7587 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7588 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7589 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7590 [Eric A. Young]
7591
7592 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7593 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7594 [Eric A. Young]
7595
7596 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7597 [Eric A. Young]
7598
7599 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7600 [Eric A. Young]
7601
7602 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7603 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7604 [Eric A. Young]
7605
7606 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7607 [Eric A. Young]
7608
7609 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7610 [Eric A. Young]
7611
7612 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7613 bytes sent in the client random.
7614 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
7615
