5 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
8
9 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
10 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
11 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
12 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
13 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
14 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
15 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
16
17 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
18 (CVE-2014-3513)
19 [OpenSSL team]
20
21 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
22
23 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
24 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
25 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
26 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
27 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
28 attack.
29 (CVE-2014-3567)
30 [Steve Henson]
31
32 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
33
34 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
35 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
36 configured to send them.
37 (CVE-2014-3568)
38 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
39
40 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
41 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
42 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
43 (CVE-2014-3566)
44 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
45
46 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
47 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
48 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
49 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
50 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
51 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
52 [Andy Polyakov]
53
54 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
55 (other platforms pending).
56 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
57
58 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
59 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
60 [Rob Stradling]
61
62 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
63 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
64 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
65 [Bodo Moeller]
66
67 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
68 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
69 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
70 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
71 [Andy Polyakov]
72
73 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
74 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
75
76 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
77 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
78 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
79 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
80 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
81
82 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
83 [Andy Polyakov]
84
85 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
86 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
87 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
88 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
89
90 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
91 RSAZ.
92 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
93
94 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
95 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
96 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
97 for TLS encrypt.
98
99 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
100 [Andy Polyakov]
101
102 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
103 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
104 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
105 [Steve Henson]
106
107 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
108 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
109 [Steve Henson]
110
111 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
112 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
113 [Steve Henson]
114
115 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
116 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
117 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
118 algorithms and include tests cases.
119 [Steve Henson]
120
121 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
122 structure.
123 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
124
125 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
126 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
127 [Steve Henson]
128
129 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
130 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
131 summary of the connection parameters.
132 [Steve Henson]
133
134 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
135 of connection parameters.
136 [Steve Henson]
137
138 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
139 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
140
141 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
142 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
143 [Steve Henson]
144
145 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
146 [Steve Henson]
147
148 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
149 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
150 [Steve Henson]
151
152 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
153 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
154 [Steve Henson]
155
156 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
157 certificates.
158 [Steve Henson]
159
160 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
161 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
162 CRLs using the OCSP API.
163 [Steve Henson]
164
165 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
166 [Steve Henson]
167
168 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
169 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
170 [Steve Henson]
171
172 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
173 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
174 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
175 tracing.
176 [Steve Henson]
177
178 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
179 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
180 [Steve Henson]
181
182 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
183 OID NID.
184 [Steve Henson]
185
186 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
187 client to OpenSSL.
188 [Steve Henson]
189
190 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
191 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
192 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
193 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
194 [Steve Henson]
195
196 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
197 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
198 [Steve Henson]
199
200 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
201 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
202 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
203 comparison.
204 [Steve Henson]
205
206 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
207 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
208 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
209 use the certificate.
210 [Steve Henson]
211
212 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
213 [Steve Henson]
214
215 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
216 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
217 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
218 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
219 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
220 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
221 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
222
223 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
224 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
225
226 [Steve Henson]
227
228 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
229 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
230 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
231 [Steve Henson]
232
233 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
234 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
235 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
236 supported signature algorithms.
237 [Steve Henson]
238
239 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
240 [Steve Henson]
241
242 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
243 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
244 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
245 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
246 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
247 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
248 certificate and specify the whole chain.
249 [Steve Henson]
250
251 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
252 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
253 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
254 to have similar checks in it.
255
256 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
257 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
258 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
259 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
260 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
261 [Steve Henson]
262
263 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
264 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
265 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
266 shared signature algorithms.
267 [Steve Henson]
268
269 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
270 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
271 to support them.
272 [Steve Henson]
273
274 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
275 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
276 it couldn't be removed.
277 [Steve Henson]
278
279 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
280 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
281 [Steve Henson]
282
283 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
284 functions. Add manual page.
285 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
286
287 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
288 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
289 a certificate.
290 [Steve Henson]
291
292 *) Fix OCSP checking.
293 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
294
295 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
296 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
297 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
298 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
299 utility) or reject.
300 [Steve Henson]
301
302 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
303 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
304 [Steve Henson]
305
306 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
307 platform support for Linux and Android.
308 [Andy Polyakov]
309
310 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
311 [Andy Polyakov]
312
313 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
314 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
315 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
316 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
317 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
318 [Steve Henson]
319
320 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
321 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
322 the new parameter format automatically.
323 [Steve Henson]
324
325 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
326 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
327 [Steve Henson]
328
329 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
330 [Steve Henson]
331
332 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
333 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
334 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
335 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
336 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
337 [Steve Henson]
338
339 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
340 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
341 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
342 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
343 to set list of supported curves.
344 [Steve Henson]
345
346 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
347 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
348 to print out received values.
349 [Steve Henson]
350
351 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
352 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
353 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
354 [Steve Henson]
355
356 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
357 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
358 [Steve Henson]
359
360 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
361 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
362 [Steve Henson]
363
364 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
365 certificates.
366 [Steve Henson]
367
368 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
369 the certificate.
370 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
371 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
372 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
373
374 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
375
376 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
377 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
378
379 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
380
381 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
382 ECDH ciphersuites.
383
384 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
385 reporting this issue.
386 (CVE-2014-3572)
387 [Steve Henson]
388
389 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
390 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
391 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
392 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
393 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
394 INRIA or reporting this issue.
395 (CVE-2015-0204)
396 [Steve Henson]
397
398 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
399 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
400
401 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
402 and can vary with the CTX.
403 [Adam Langley]
404
405 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
406
407 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
408 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
409 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
410 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
411 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
412
413 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
414
415 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
416 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
417
418 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
419
420 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
421 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
422 errors for some broken certificates.
423
424 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
425
426 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
427
428 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
429 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
430
431 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
432 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
433 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
434 (negative or with leading zeroes).
435
436 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
437 of the OpenSSL core team.
438
439 (CVE-2014-8275)
440 [Steve Henson]
441
442 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
443 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
444 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
445 sanity and breaks all known clients.
446 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
447
448 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
449 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
450 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
451 [Emilia Käsper]
452
453 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
454 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
455 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
456 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
457 announced in the initial ServerHello.
458
459 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
460 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
461 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
462 [Emilia Käsper]
463
464 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
465
466 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
467
468 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
469 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
470 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
471 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
472 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
473 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
474 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
475
476 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
477 (CVE-2014-3513)
478 [OpenSSL team]
479
480 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
481
482 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
483 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
484 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
485 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
486 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
487 attack.
488 (CVE-2014-3567)
489 [Steve Henson]
490
491 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
492
493 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
494 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
495 configured to send them.
496 (CVE-2014-3568)
497 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
498
499 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
500 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
501 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
502 (CVE-2014-3566)
503 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
504
505 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
506
507 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
508 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
509 DigestInfo structures.
510
511 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
512
513 [Steve Henson]
514
515 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
516
517 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
518 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
519 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
520
521 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
522 Group for discovering this issue.
523 (CVE-2014-3512)
524 [Steve Henson]
525
526 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
527 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
528 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
529 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
530 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
531
532 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
533 researching this issue.
534 (CVE-2014-3511)
535 [David Benjamin]
536
537 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
538 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
539 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
540 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
541
542 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
543 issue.
544 (CVE-2014-3510)
545 [Emilia Käsper]
546
547 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
548 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
549 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
550 (CVE-2014-3507)
551 [Adam Langley]
552
553 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
554 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
555 Denial of Service attack.
556 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
557 (CVE-2014-3506)
558 [Adam Langley]
559
560 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
561 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
562 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
563 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
564 this issue.
565 (CVE-2014-3505)
566 [Adam Langley]
567
568 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
569 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
570 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
571
572 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
573 issue.
574 (CVE-2014-3509)
575 [Gabor Tyukasz]
576
577 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
578 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
579 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
580 Denial of Service attack.
581
582 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
583 discovering and researching this issue.
584 (CVE-2014-5139)
585 [Steve Henson]
586
587 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
588 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
589 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
590 output to the attacker.
591
592 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
593 (CVE-2014-3508)
594 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
595
596 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
597 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
598 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
599 [Bodo Moeller]
600
601 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [xx XXX xxxx]
602
603 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
604
605 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
606 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
607 DigestInfo structures.
608
609 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
610
611 [Steve Henson]
612
613 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
614
615 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
616 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
617 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
618
619 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
620 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
621 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
622
623 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
624 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
625 in a DoS attack.
626
627 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
628 (CVE-2014-0221)
629 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
630
631 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
632 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
633 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
634 code on a vulnerable client or server.
635
636 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
637 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
638
639 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
640 are subject to a denial of service attack.
641
642 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
643 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
644 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
645
646 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
647 compilation flags.
648 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
649
650 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
651 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
652 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
653
654 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
655 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
656
657 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
658
659 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
660 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
661 server.
662
663 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
664 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
665 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
666 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
667
668 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
669 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
670 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
671 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
672
673 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
674 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
675 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
676
677 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
678
679 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
680 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
681 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
682 is at least 512 bytes long.
683
684 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
685
686 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
687
688 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
689 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
690 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
691 (CVE-2013-4353)
692
693 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
694 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
695 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
696 [Steve Henson]
697
698 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
699 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
700 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
701 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
702 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
703 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
704 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
705
706 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
707
708 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
709 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
710 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
711
712 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
713
714 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
715
716 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
717 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
718 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
719
720 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
721 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
722 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
723 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
724 (CVE-2013-0169)
725 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
726
727 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
728 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
729 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
730 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
731 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
732 (CVE-2012-2686)
733 [Adam Langley]
734
735 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
736 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
737 [Steve Henson]
738
739 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
740 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
741
742 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
743 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
744 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
745 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
746 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
747
748 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
749 [Steve Henson]
750
751 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
752 if renegotiating.
753 [Steve Henson]
754
755 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
756
757 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
758 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
759
760 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
761 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
762 (CVE-2012-2333)
763 [Steve Henson]
764
765 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
766 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
767 [Steve Henson]
768
769 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
770 approved.
771 [Steve Henson]
772
773 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
774
775 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
776 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
777 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
778 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
779 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
780 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
781 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
782 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
783 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
784 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
785 [Steve Henson]
786
787 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
788 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
789 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
790 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
791 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
792 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
793 client side.
794 [Andy Polyakov]
795
796 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
797
798 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
799 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
800 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
801
802 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
803 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
804 (CVE-2012-2110)
805 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
806
807 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
808 [Adam Langley]
809
810 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
811 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
812
813 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
814 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
815 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
816 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
817 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
818 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
819 Most broken servers should now work.
820 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
821 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
822 [Steve Henson]
823
824 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
825 [Andy Polyakov]
826
827 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
828
829 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
830 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
831 [Steve Henson]
832
833 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
834 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
835 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
836 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
837 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
838 [Steve Henson]
839
840 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
841 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
842 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
843 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
844 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
845 [Steve Henson]
846
847 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
848 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
849
850 *) Add support for SCTP.
851 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
852
853 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
854 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
855
856 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
857
858 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
859 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
860 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
861 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
862 - s390x: z196 support;
863 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
864
865 [Andy Polyakov]
866
867 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
868 (removal of unnecessary code)
869 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
870
871 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
872 [Eric Rescorla]
873
874 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
875 [Eric Rescorla]
876
877 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
878 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
879 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
880 by Google.
881 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
882
883 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
884 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
885 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
886 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
887 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
888
889 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
890 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
891 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
892
893 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
894 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
895 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
896
897 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
898 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
899 implementations).
900 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
901
902 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
903 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
904 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
905 [Steve Henson]
906
907 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
908 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
909 particular PSS.
910 [Steve Henson]
911
912 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
913 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
914 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
915 [Steve Henson]
916
917 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
918 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
919 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
920 the appropriate parameters.
921 [Steve Henson]
922
923 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
924 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
925 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
926 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
927 against a number of sample certificates.
928 [Steve Henson]
929
930 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
931 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
932
933 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
934 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
935
936 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
937 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
938 parameters r, s.
939 [Steve Henson]
940
941 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
942 RFC3211.
943 [Steve Henson]
944
945 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
946 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
947 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
948 password based CMS).
949 [Steve Henson]
950
951 *) Session-handling fixes:
952 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
953 but also support Session Tickets.
954 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
955 presented a ticket with an expired session.
956 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
957 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
958 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
959 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
960
961 *) Fix PSK session representation.
962 [Bodo Moeller]
963
964 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
965
966 This work was sponsored by Intel.
967 [Andy Polyakov]
968
969 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
970 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
971 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
972 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
973 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
974 [Steve Henson]
975
976 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
977 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
978 [Steve Henson]
979
980 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
981 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
982 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
983 [Steve Henson]
984
985 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
986 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
987 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
988 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
989 [Steve Henson]
990
991 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
992 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
993 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
994 [Steve Henson]
995
996 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
997 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
998
999 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1000 [Steve Henson]
1001
1002 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1003 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1004 [Steve Henson]
1005
1006 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1007 [Steve Henson]
1008
1009 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1010 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1011 [Steve Henson]
1012
1013 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1014 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1015 [Steve Henson]
1016
1017 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1018 [Steve Henson]
1019
1020 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1021 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1022 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1023 [Steve Henson]
1024
1025 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1026 [Steve Henson]
1027
1028 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1029 [Steve Henson]
1030
1031 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1032 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1033 [Steve Henson]
1034
1035 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1036 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1037 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1038 [Steve Henson]
1039
1040 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1041 [Steve Henson]
1042
1043 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1044 and enable MD5.
1045 [Steve Henson]
1046
1047 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1048 FIPS modules versions.
1049 [Steve Henson]
1050
1051 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1052 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1053 until after the certificate request message is received.
1054 [Steve Henson]
1055
1056 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1057 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1058 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1059 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1060 [Steve Henson]
1061
1062 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1063 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1064 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1065 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1066 [Steve Henson]
1067
1068 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1069 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1070 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1071 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1072 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1073 and version checking.
1074 [Steve Henson]
1075
1076 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1077 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1078 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1079 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1080 [Steve Henson]
1081
1082 *) Add SRP support.
1083 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1084
1085 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1086 [Steve Henson]
1087
1088 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1089 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1090 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1091
1092 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1093 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1094 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1095 [Steve Henson]
1096
1097 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1098 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1099
1100 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1101 a few changes are required:
1102
1103 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1104 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1105 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1106 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1107 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1108 [Steve Henson]
1109
1110 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
1111
1112 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1113
1114 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1115 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1116 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1117
1118 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1119 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1120 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1121 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1122 (CVE-2013-0169)
1123 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1124
1125 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1126 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1127 [Steve Henson]
1128
1129 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1130 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1131 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1132 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1133 (This is a backport)
1134 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1135
1136 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1137 [Steve Henson]
1138
1139 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
1140
1141 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
1142 OpenSSL 1.0.1.]
1143
1144 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1145 to fix DoS attack.
1146
1147 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1148 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1149 (CVE-2012-2333)
1150 [Steve Henson]
1151
1152 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1153 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1154 [Steve Henson]
1155
1156 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
1157
1158 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1159 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1160 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1161
1162 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1163 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1164 (CVE-2012-2110)
1165 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1166
1167 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1168
1169 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1170 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1171 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1172 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1173 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1174 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1175 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1176 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1177 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1178 [Steve Henson]
1179
1180 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1181 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1182 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1183 [Steve Henson]
1184
1185 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1186
1187 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1188 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1189 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1190 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1191 [Antonio Martin]
1192
1193 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1194
1195 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1196 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1197 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1198 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1199 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1200 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1201 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1202 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1203 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1204 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1205 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1206 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1207 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1208
1209 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1210 (CVE-2011-4576)
1211 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1212
1213 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1214 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1215 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1216 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1217
1218 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1219 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1220
1221 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1222 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1223 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1224 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1225
1226 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1227 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1228
1229 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1230 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1231
1232 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1233 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1234
1235 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1236 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1237 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1238
1239 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1240 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1241 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1242
1243 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1244 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1245 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1246 the last update always remained unused).
1247 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1248
1249 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1250 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1251
1252 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1253
1254 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1255 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1256 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1257
1258 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1259 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1260 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1261
1262 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1263 [Bodo Moeller]
1264
1265 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1266 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1267 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1268 [Steve Henson]
1269
1270 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1271 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1272
1273 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1274
1275 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1276
1277 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1278
1279 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1280 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1281
1282 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1283 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1284 ambiguous.
1285 [Steve Henson]
1286
1287 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1288
1289 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1290 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1291 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1292 [Steve Henson]
1293
1294 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1295 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1296 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1297 [Ben Laurie]
1298
1299 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1300
1301 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1302 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1303 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1304 [Steve Henson]
1305
1306 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1307 a DLL.
1308 [Steve Henson]
1309
1310 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1311
1312 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1313 (CVE-2010-1633)
1314 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1315
1316 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1317
1318 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1319 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1320 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1321 [Steve Henson]
1322
1323 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1324 [Steve Henson]
1325
1326 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1327 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1328 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1329
1330 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1331 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1332 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1333 [Steve Henson]
1334
1335 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1336 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1337 [Steve Henson]
1338
1339 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1340 some responders need this.
1341 [Steve Henson]
1342
1343 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1344 correctly.
1345 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1346
1347 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1348 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1349 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1350 [Steve Henson]
1351
1352 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1353 [Steve Henson]
1354
1355 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1356 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1357 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1358 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1359 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1360 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1361 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1362 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1363 [Steve Henson]
1364
1365 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1366 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1367 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1368 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1369
1370 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1371 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1372
1373 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1374 be used on C++.
1375 [Steve Henson]
1376
1377 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1378 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1379 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1380 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1381 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1382 attempting to work them out.
1383 [Steve Henson]
1384
1385 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1386 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1387 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1388 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1389 [Steve Henson]
1390
1391 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1392 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1393 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1394 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1395 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1396 [Steve Henson]
1397
1398 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1399 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1400 you can do:
1401
1402 openssl sha256 foo
1403
1404 as well as:
1405
1406 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1407
1408 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1409
1410 [Steve Henson]
1411
1412 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1413 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1414
1415 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1416 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1417
1418 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1419 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1420 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1421 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1422 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1423 [Steve Henson]
1424
1425 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1426 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1427 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1428 [Steve Henson]
1429
1430 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1431 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1432 [Steve Henson]
1433
1434 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1435 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1436
1437 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1438 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1439 [Steve Henson]
1440
1441 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1442 [Ben Laurie]
1443
1444 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1445 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1446 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1447 CONF_VALUE.
1448 [Ben Laurie]
1449
1450 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1451 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1452 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1453 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1454 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1455 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1456 [Steve Henson]
1457
1458 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1459 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1460
1461 This work was sponsored by Google.
1462 [Steve Henson]
1463
1464 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1465 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1466 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1467 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1468 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1469 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1470 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1471 default.
1472
1473 This work was sponsored by Google.
1474 [Steve Henson]
1475
1476 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1477
1478 This work was sponsored by Google.
1479 [Steve Henson]
1480
1481 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1482 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1483 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1484 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1485
1486 This work was sponsored by Google.
1487 [Steve Henson]
1488
1489 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1490 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1491 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1492 CRL functionality in future.
1493
1494 This work was sponsored by Google.
1495 [Steve Henson]
1496
1497 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1498
1499 This work was sponsored by Google.
1500 [Steve Henson]
1501
1502 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1503 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1504
1505 This work was sponsored by Google.
1506 [Steve Henson]
1507
1508 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1509 and URI types are currently supported.
1510
1511 This work was sponsored by Google.
1512 [Steve Henson]
1513
1514 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1515 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1516 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1517 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1518 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1519 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1520 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1521 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1522
1523 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1524 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1525 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1526
1527 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1528 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1529 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1530 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1531
1532 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1533 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1534 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1535 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1536 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1537 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1538 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1539 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1540 of &errno.)
1541 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1542
1543 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1544 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1545 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1546
1547 This work was sponsored by Google.
1548 [Steve Henson]
1549
1550 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1551 [Ben Laurie]
1552
1553 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1554 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1555 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1556 [Ben Laurie]
1557
1558 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1559 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1560 [Nick Mathewson]
1561
1562 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1563 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1564 [Ben Laurie]
1565
1566 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1567 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1568 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1569 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1570 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1571 content types and variants.
1572 [Steve Henson]
1573
1574 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1575 [Steve Henson]
1576
1577 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1578 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1579 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1580 files from the associated perl scripts.
1581 [Steve Henson]
1582
1583 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1584 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1585 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1586
1587 *) s390x assembler pack.
1588 [Andy Polyakov]
1589
1590 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1591 "family."
1592 [Andy Polyakov]
1593
1594 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1595 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1596 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1597 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1598 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1599 to use. For example, specify an option
1600
1601 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1602
1603 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1604 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1605 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1606 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1607 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1608 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1609
1610 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1611 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1612 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1613 return non-zero for success.
1614
1615 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1616 by using
1617
1618 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1619 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1620
1621 where
1622
1623 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1624 void *arg;
1625
1626 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1627 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1628 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1629 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1630 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1631 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1632 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1633 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1634 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1635
1636 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1637 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1638 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1639 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1640 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1641 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1642
1643 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1644 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1645 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1646 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1647 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1648 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1649
1650 [Bodo Moeller]
1651
1652 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1653 MAC.
1654
1655 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1656
1657 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1658 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1659 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1660 supported.
1661
1662 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1663 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1664 SSL_SESSION.
1665
1666 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1667 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1668 with no application modification.
1669
1670 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1671 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1672
1673 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1674 or server extensions to be examined.
1675
1676 This work was sponsored by Google.
1677 [Steve Henson]
1678
1679 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1680 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1681 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1682
1683 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1684 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1685 ciphersuite support.
1686 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1687
1688 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1689 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1690 to output in BER and PEM format.
1691 [Steve Henson]
1692
1693 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1694 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1695 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1696 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1697 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1698 [Steve Henson]
1699
1700 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1701 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1702 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1703 utility.
1704 [Steve Henson]
1705
1706 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1707 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1708 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1709 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1710 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1711 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1712 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1713 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1714 enabled again.
1715
1716 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1717 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1718 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1719 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1720
1721 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1722 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1723 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1724 the default order.
1725 [Bodo Moeller]
1726
1727 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1728 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1729 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1730 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1731 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1732 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1733 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1734 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1735 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1736
1737 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1738 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1739 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1740 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1741 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1742 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1743 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1744 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1745 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1746 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1747 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1748 kinds of kludges.
1749
1750 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1751 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1752 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1753
1754 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1755 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1756 "CAMELLIA256".
1757 [Bodo Moeller]
1758
1759 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1760 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1761 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1762 [Nils Larsch]
1763
1764 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1765 it yet and it is largely untested.
1766 [Steve Henson]
1767
1768 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1769 [Nils Larsch]
1770
1771 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1772 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1773 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1774 [Steve Henson]
1775
1776 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1777 [Andy Polyakov]
1778
1779 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1780 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1781 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1782 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1783 [Steve Henson]
1784
1785 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1786 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1787 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1788 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1789 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1790 [Steve Henson]
1791
1792 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1793 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1794 [Cryptocom]
1795
1796 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1797 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1798 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1799 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1800 [Steve Henson]
1801
1802 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1803 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1804 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1805 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1806 [Steve Henson]
1807
1808 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1809 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1810 [Steve Henson]
1811
1812 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1813 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1814 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1815 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1816 [Steve Henson]
1817
1818 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1819 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1820 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1821 [Steve Henson]
1822
1823 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1824 utility.
1825 [Steve Henson]
1826
1827 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1828 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1829 [Steve Henson]
1830
1831 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1832 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1833 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1834 if necessary.
1835 [Steve Henson]
1836
1837 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1838 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1839 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1840 [Steve Henson]
1841
1842 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1843 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1844 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1845 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1846 [Steve Henson]
1847
1848 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1849 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1850 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1851 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1852 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1853 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1854 [Douglas Stebila]
1855
1856 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1857 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1858 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1859 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1860 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1861
1862 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1863 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1864 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1865 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1866 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1867 protocol).
1868
1869 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1870 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1871 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1872 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1873
1874 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1875 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1876 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1877 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1878 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1879
1880 aECDH - ECDH cert
1881 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
1882 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
1883
1884 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1885 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1886
1887 [Bodo Moeller]
1888
1889 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1890 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1891 [Steve Henson]
1892
1893 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1894 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1895 [Steve Henson]
1896
1897 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1898 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1899 functional reference processing.
1900 [Steve Henson]
1901
1902 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1903 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1904 process.
1905 [Steve Henson]
1906
1907 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1908 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1909 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1910 [Steve Henson]
1911
1912 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1913 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1914 application to support multiple signers.
1915 [Steve Henson]
1916
1917 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1918 digest MAC.
1919 [Steve Henson]
1920
1921 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1922 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1923 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1924 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1925 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1926 [Steve Henson]
1927
1928 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1929 new API.
1930 [Steve Henson]
1931
1932 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1933 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1934 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1935 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1936 a no op.
1937 [Steve Henson]
1938
1939 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1940 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1941 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1942 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1943 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1944 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1945 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1946 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1947 [Steve Henson]
1948
1949 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1950 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1951 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1952 between digests and public key types.
1953 [Steve Henson]
1954
1955 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1956 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1957 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1958 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1959 [Steve Henson]
1960
1961 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1962 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1963 key ASN1 method.
1964 [Steve Henson]
1965
1966 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1967 [Steve Henson]
1968
1969 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1970 pkeyutl.
1971 [Steve Henson]
1972
1973 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1974 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1975 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1976 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1977 pkey, genpkey.
1978 [Steve Henson]
1979
1980 *) BeOS support.
1981 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1982
1983 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1984 manual pages.
1985 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1986
1987 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1988 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1989 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1990 functionality for RSA.
1991 [Steve Henson]
1992
1993 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1994 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1995 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1996 [Steve Henson]
1997
1998 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1999 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2000 [Steve Henson]
2001
2002 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2003 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2004 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2005 [Steve Henson]
2006
2007 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2008 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2009 [Douglas Stebila]
2010
2011 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2012 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2013 [Steve Henson]
2014
2015 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2016 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2017 type.
2018 [Steve Henson]
2019
2020 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2021 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2022 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2023 structure.
2024 [Steve Henson]
2025
2026 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2027 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2028 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2029 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2030 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2031 of public and private key structures.
2032 [Steve Henson]
2033
2034 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2035 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2036 [Douglas Stebila]
2037
2038 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2039 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2040 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2041
2042 New ciphersuites:
2043 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2044 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
2045
2046 New functions:
2047 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2048 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2049 SSL_get_psk_identity
2050 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2051
2052 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2053
2054 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2055 and response verification functionality.
2056 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2057
2058 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2059 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2060 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2061 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2062 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2063 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2064 server_name extension.
2065
2066 New functions (subject to change):
2067
2068 SSL_get_servername()
2069 SSL_get_servername_type()
2070 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
2071
2072 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2073
2074 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2075 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2076 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2077 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2078 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2079
2080 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2081
2082 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2083 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2084 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2085 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2086 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2087 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2088 option.
2089
2090 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2091
2092 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2093 [Andy Polyakov]
2094
2095 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2096 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2097 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2098 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2099 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2100 [Andy Polyakov]
2101
2102 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2103 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2104 macro.
2105 [Bodo Moeller]
2106
2107 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2108 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2109 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2110 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2111 [Andy Polyakov]
2112
2113 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2114 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2115 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2116 using the maximum available value.
2117 [Steve Henson]
2118
2119 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2120 in addition to the text details.
2121 [Bodo Moeller]
2122
2123 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2124 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2125 handle several customised structures at all.
2126 [Steve Henson]
2127
2128 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2129 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2130 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2131 [Steve Henson]
2132
2133 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2134 [Steve Henson]
2135
2136 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2137 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2138 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2139 [Steve Henson]
2140
2141 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2142 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2143 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2144 [Nils Larsch]
2145
2146 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2147 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2148 all fields.
2149 [Steve Henson]
2150
2151 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2152 [Steve Henson]
2153
2154 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2155 [NTT]
2156
2157 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
2158
2159 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2160
2161 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2162 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2163 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2164
2165 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2166 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2167 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2168 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2169 (CVE-2013-0169)
2170 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2171
2172 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2173 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2174 [Steve Henson]
2175
2176 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2177 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2178 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2179 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2180 (This is a backport)
2181 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2182
2183 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2184 [Steve Henson]
2185
2186 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
2187
2188 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
2189 to fix DoS attack.
2190
2191 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2192 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2193 (CVE-2012-2333)
2194 [Steve Henson]
2195
2196 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2197 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2198 [Steve Henson]
2199
2200 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
2201
2202 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
2203 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
2204 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
2205 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
2206 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2207
2208 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
2209
2210 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2211 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2212 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2213
2214 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2215 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2216 (CVE-2012-2110)
2217 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2218
2219 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
2220
2221 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2222 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2223 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2224 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2225 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2226 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2227 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2228 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2229 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2230 [Steve Henson]
2231
2232 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2233 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2234 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2235 [Steve Henson]
2236
2237 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
2238
2239 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2240 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2241 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2242 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2243 [Antonio Martin]
2244
2245 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
2246
2247 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2248 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2249 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2250 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2251 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2252 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2253 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2254 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2255 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2256 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2257 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2258 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2259 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2260
2261 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
2262 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
2263
2264 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2265 (CVE-2011-4576)
2266 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2267
2268 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2269 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2270 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2271 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2272
2273 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2274 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2275 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2276 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2277
2278 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2279 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2280
2281 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2282 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2283
2284 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2285 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2286 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2287
2288 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2289 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2290 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2291
2292 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2293 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2294 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2295 the last update always remained unused).
2296 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2297
2298 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2299 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
2300 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2301
2302 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2303 [Bodo Moeller]
2304
2305 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2306 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2307
2308 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2309
2310 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2311
2312 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
2313
2314 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2315 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2316
2317 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2318 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2319 ambiguous.
2320 [Steve Henson]
2321
2322 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
2323
2324 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2325 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2326 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2327 [Steve Henson]
2328
2329 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2330 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2331 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2332 [Ben Laurie]
2333
2334 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
2335
2336 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2337 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2338 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2339 [Steve Henson]
2340
2341 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2342 [Steve Henson]
2343
2344 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2345 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2346 some broken encodings work correctly.
2347 [Steve Henson]
2348
2349 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2350 is also one of the inputs.
2351 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2352
2353 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2354 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2355 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
2356 etc are non-op.
2357 [Steve Henson]
2358
2359 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
2360
2361 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
2362 OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
2363
2364 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
2365 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2366 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2367
2368 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2369 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2370 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2371 [Steve Henson]
2372
2373 *) VMS fixes:
2374 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
2375 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
2376 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
2377 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
2378
2379 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2380
2381 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2382 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2383 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2384 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2385 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2386 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2387 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2388 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2389
2390 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2391 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2392 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2393
2394 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2395
2396 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2397 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2398
2399 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2400 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2401 [Bodo Moeller]
2402
2403 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2404 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2405 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2406 [Steve Henson]
2407
2408 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2409 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2410 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2411 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2412 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2413 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2414 [Steve Henson]
2415
2416 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2417 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2418 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2419 [Steve Henson]
2420
2421 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2422 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2423 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2424 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2425 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2426 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2427 CVE-2009-4355.
2428 [Steve Henson]
2429
2430 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2431 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2432 [Bodo Moeller]
2433
2434 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2435 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2436 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2437 [Steve Henson]
2438
2439 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2440 [Steve Henson]
2441
2442 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2443 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2444 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2445 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2446 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2447 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2448 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2449 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2450 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2451 [Steve Henson]
2452
2453 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2454 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2455 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2456 [Steve Henson]
2457
2458 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2459 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2460 [Steve Henson]
2461
2462 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2463 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2464 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2465 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2466 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2467 know what you are doing.
2468 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2469
2470 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2471 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2472 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2473 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2474 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2475 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2476 the handshake.
2477 [Steve Henson]
2478
2479 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2480 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2481 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2482 correctly.
2483 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2484
2485 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2486 warnings in other configurations.
2487 [Steve Henson]
2488
2489 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2490 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2491 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2492 systems need.
2493 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2494
2495 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2496 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2497 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2498
2499 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2500 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2501 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2502 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2503 [Steve Henson]
2504
2505 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2506 and restored.
2507 [Steve Henson]
2508
2509 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2510 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2511 clash.
2512 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2513
2514 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2515 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2516 other than a simple chain.
2517 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2518
2519 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2520 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2521 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2522 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2523 [Steve Henson]
2524
2525 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2526 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2527 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2528 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2529 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2530 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2531 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2532 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2533 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2534
2535 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2536 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2537 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2538 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2539 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2540 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2541 (CVE-2009-1377)
2542 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2543
2544 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2545 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2546 [Daniel Mentz]
2547
2548 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2549 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2550
2551 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
2552 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2553
2554 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2555
2556 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2557 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2558 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2559 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2560 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2561 you're doing.
2562 [Ben Laurie]
2563
2564 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2565
2566 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2567 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2568 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2569 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2570
2571 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2572 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2573 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2574 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2575
2576 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2577 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2578 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2579 [Steve Henson]
2580
2581 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2582 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2583 level.
2584 [Steve Henson]
2585
2586 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2587 to handle some structures.
2588 [Steve Henson]
2589
2590 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2591 for a '\n'
2592 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2593
2594 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2595 [Matthieu Herrb]
2596
2597 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2598 [Steve Henson]
2599
2600 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2601 [Steve Henson]
2602
2603 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2604 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2605 chosen compiler.
2606 [Ben Laurie]
2607
2608 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2609
2610 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2611 (CVE-2008-5077).
2612 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2613
2614 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2615 [Ben Laurie]
2616
2617 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2618 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2619 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2620 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2621
2622 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2623 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2624
2625 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2626 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2627 [Bodo Moeller]
2628
2629 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2630 s_client and s_server.
2631 [Ben Laurie]
2632
2633 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2634 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2635
2636 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2637 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2638
2639 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2640 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2641 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2642 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2643 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2644 [Bodo Moeller]
2645
2646 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2647
2648 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2649 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2650 [PR #1679]
2651
2652 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2653 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2654 [Nagendra Modadugu]
2655
2656 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2657 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2658 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2659 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2660
2661 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2662 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2663
2664 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2665
2666 *) Various precautionary measures:
2667
2668 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2669
2670 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2671 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2672 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2673
2674 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2675 outside the expected range.
2676
2677 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2678 builds.
2679
2680 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2681
2682 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2683 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2684 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2685
2686 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2687 [Steve Henson]
2688
2689 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2690 [Huang Ying]
2691
2692 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2693
2694 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2695 [Steve Henson]
2696
2697 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2698 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2699 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2700
2701 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2702 [Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2705 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2706 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2707 files.
2708 [Steve Henson]
2709
2710 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2711
2712 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2713 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2714 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2715 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2716
2717 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2718 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2719 [Joe Orton]
2720
2721 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2722
2723 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2724 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2725 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2726
2727 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2728
2729 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2730 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2731 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2732 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2733 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2734
2735 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2736 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2737 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2738 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2739 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2740 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2741 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2742
2743 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2744
2745 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2746 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2747 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2748 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2749 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2750
2751 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2752 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2753
2754 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2755 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2756 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2757 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2758 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2759
2760 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2761
2762 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2763 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2764 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2765 sets may exist with different names.
2766 [Steve Henson]
2767
2768 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2769 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2770 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2771 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2772 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2773 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2774 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2775 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2776 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2777 implementation.
2778 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2779
2780 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2781 implemention in the following ways:
2782
2783 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2784 hard coded.
2785
2786 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2787 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2788 ignored for embedded content.
2789
2790 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2791 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2792 [Steve Henson]
2793
2794 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2795 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2796 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2797 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2798
2799 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2800 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2801 [Steve Henson]
2802
2803 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2804 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2805 [Steve Henson]
2806
2807 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2808 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2809 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2810 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2811 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2812 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2813 data.
2814 [Steve Henson]
2815
2816 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2817 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2818 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2819
2820 *) Netware support:
2821
2822 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2823 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2824 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2825 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2826 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2827 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2828 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2829 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2830 platform
2831 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2832 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2833 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2834 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2835 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2836 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2837 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2838
2839 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2840 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2841 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2842 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2843 to s_client and s_server.
2844 [Steve Henson]
2845
2846 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2847
2848 *) Fix various bugs:
2849 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2850 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2851 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2852 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2853 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2854
2855 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2856
2857 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2858 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2859 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2860 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2861 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2862 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2863 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2864 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2865 [Andy Polyakov]
2866
2867 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2868 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2869 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2870 Steve Henson]
2871
2872 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2873 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2874 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2875 supported.
2876
2877 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2878 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2879 SSL_SESSION.
2880
2881 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2882 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2883 with no application modification.
2884
2885 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2886 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2887
2888 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2889 or server extensions to be examined.
2890
2891 This work was sponsored by Google.
2892 [Steve Henson]
2893
2894 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2895 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2896 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2897 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2898 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2899 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2900 server_name extension.
2901
2902 New functions (subject to change):
2903
2904 SSL_get_servername()
2905 SSL_get_servername_type()
2906 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
2907
2908 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2909
2910 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2911 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2912 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2913 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2914 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2915
2916 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2917
2918 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2919 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2920 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2921 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2922 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2923 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2924 option.
2925
2926 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2927
2928 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2929 [Steve Henson]
2930
2931 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2932 [Andy Polyakov]
2933
2934 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2935 (which previously caused an internal error).
2936 [Bodo Moeller]
2937
2938 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2939 [Ben Laurie]
2940
2941 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2942 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2943
2944 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2945 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2946 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2947
2948 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2949 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2950 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2951 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2952
2953 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2954 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2955 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2956 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2957
2958 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2959 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2960 information. For detailed background information, see
2961 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2962 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2963 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2964 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2965 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2966 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2967 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2968 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2969 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2970 remove a conditional branch.
2971
2972 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2973 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2974 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2975 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2976 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2977 remains as a deprecated alias.
2978
2979 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2980 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2981 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2982 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2983
2984 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2985 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2986 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2987 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2988 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2989 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2990 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2991 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2992
2993 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2994
2995 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2996 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2997 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2998 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2999 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3000 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3001 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3002 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3003 in a different context.
3004 [Bodo Moeller]
3005
3006 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3007 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3008 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3009 [Bodo Moeller]
3010
3011 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3012 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3013 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3014
3015 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3016
3017 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3018 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3019 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3020 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3021 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3022 [Victor Duchovni]
3023
3024 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3025 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3026 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3027 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3028 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3029 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3030 [Bodo Moeller]
3031
3032 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3033 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3034 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3035 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3036 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3037 [Bodo Moeller]
3038
3039 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3040 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3041
3042 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3043 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3044 Improve header file function name parsing.
3045 [Steve Henson]
3046
3047 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3048 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3049 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
3050
3051 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3052
3053 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3054 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3055 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3056
3057 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3058 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3059
3060 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3061 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3062
3063 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3064 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3065 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3066
3067 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3068 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3069 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3070 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3071 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3072 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3073 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3074 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3075 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3076
3077 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3078 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3079 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3080 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3081 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3082
3083 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3084 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3085 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3086 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3087 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3088 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3089 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3090 multiple values to extend the available space.
3091
3092 [Bodo Moeller]
3093
3094 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3095
3096 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3097 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3098
3099 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3100 [Ben Laurie]
3101
3102 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3103 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3104 undesirable limitations.
3105 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3106
3107 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3108 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3109 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3110 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3111 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3112 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3113 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3114 [Bodo Moeller]
3115
3116 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3117
3118 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3119 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3120 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3121
3122 The latter two were purportedly from
3123 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3124 appear there.
3125
3126 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3127 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3128 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3129 [Bodo Moeller]
3130
3131 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3132 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3133 [Bodo Moeller]
3134
3135 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3136 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3137 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3138 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3139
3140 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3141 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3142 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3143 [NTT]
3144
3145 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3146 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3147 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3148 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3149 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3150 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3151 [Steve Henson]
3152
3153 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3154
3155 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3156 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3157 [Steve Henson]
3158
3159 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3160 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3161
3162 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3163 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3164 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3165 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3166 [Douglas Stebila]
3167
3168 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3169 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3170 [Steve Henson]
3171
3172 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3173 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3174 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3175 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3176 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3177 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3178 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3179 can't be loaded.
3180 [Steve Henson]
3181
3182 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3183 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3184 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3185 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3186 [Steve Henson]
3187
3188 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3189 under VC++ build system.
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3193 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3194 [Richard Levitte]
3195
3196 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3197
3198 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3199 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3200 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3201 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3202 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3203
3204 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3205 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3206 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3207
3208 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3209 [Steve Henson]
3210
3211 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3212 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3213 [Nils Larsch]
3214
3215 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3216 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3217
3218 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3219 [Nick Mathewson]
3220
3221 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3222 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3223
3224 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3225 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3226 [Steve Henson]
3227
3228 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3229 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3230 smime utility.
3231 [Steve Henson]
3232
3233 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3234
3235 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3236 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
3237
3238 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3239 [Richard Levitte]
3240
3241 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3242 key into the same file any more.
3243 [Richard Levitte]
3244
3245 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3246 [Andy Polyakov]
3247
3248 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3249 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3250
3251 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3252 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3253 [Richard Levitte]
3254
3255 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3256 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3257 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3258 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3259 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3260 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3261
3262 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3263 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3264 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3265 [Steve Henson]
3266
3267 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3268 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3269 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3270 - add new function for parameter creation
3271 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3272 BN_BLINDING parameters
3273 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3274 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3275 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3276 threads.
3277 [Nils Larsch]
3278
3279 *) Add support for DTLS.
3280 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3281
3282 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3283 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3284 [Walter Goulet]
3285
3286 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3287 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3288 [Nils Larsch]
3289
3290 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3291 the apps/openssl applications.
3292 [Nils Larsch]
3293
3294 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3295 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3296 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3297 [Ben Laurie]
3298
3299 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3300 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3301
3302 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3303 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3304
3305 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3306 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3307 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3308 avoid this algorithm.)
3309
3310 [Bodo Moeller]
3311
3312 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3313 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3314 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3315 [Richard Levitte]
3316
3317 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3318 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3319 [Andy Polyakov]
3320
3321 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3322 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3323 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3324 pod file:
3325
3326 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3327
3328 The blank line is mandatory.
3329
3330 [Steve Henson]
3331
3332 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3333 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3334 sources.
3335 [Steve Henson]
3336
3337 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3338 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3339
3340 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3341 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3342 to support policy checking and print out.
3343 [Steve Henson]
3344
3345 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3346 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3347 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3348 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3349
3350 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3351 [Geoff Thorpe]
3352
3353 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3354 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3355
3356 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3357 implementation contributed by IBM.
3358 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3359
3360 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3361 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3362 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3363 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3364
3365 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3366 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3367
3368 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3369 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3370 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3371 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3372 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3373 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3374 [Steve Henson]
3375
3376 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3377 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3378 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3379 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3380 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3381 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3382 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3383 [Geoff Thorpe]
3384
3385 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3386 [Steve Henson]
3387
3388 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3389 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3390 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3391 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3392 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3393 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3394 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3395 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3396 [Steve Henson]
3397
3398 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3399 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3400 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3401 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3402 [Steve Henson]
3403
3404 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3405 syntax:
3406
3407 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3408 [Steve Henson]
3409
3410 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3411 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3412 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3413 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3414 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3415 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3416 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3417 [Geoff Thorpe]
3418
3419 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3420 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3421 [Geoff Thorpe]
3422
3423 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3424 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3425 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3426 [Steve Henson]
3427
3428 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3429 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3430 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3431 below).
3432 [Geoff Thorpe]
3433
3434 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3435 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3436 [Richard Levitte]
3437
3438 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3439 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3440 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3441 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3442 [Geoff Thorpe]
3443
3444 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3445 initialised value as BN_new().
3446 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3447
3448 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3449 [Steve Henson]
3450
3451 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3452 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3453 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3454 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3455 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3456 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3457 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3458 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3459 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3460 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3461 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3462 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3463 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3464 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3465 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3466
3467 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3468 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3469 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3470 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3471 [Geoff Thorpe]
3472
3473 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3474 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3475 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3476 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3477 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3478 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3479 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3480 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3481 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3482 [Geoff Thorpe]
3483
3484 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3485 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3486 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3487 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3488 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3489 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3490 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3491 [Geoff Thorpe]
3492
3493 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3494 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3495 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3496 these have been updated also.
3497 [Geoff Thorpe]
3498
3499 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3500 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3501 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3502 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3503 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3504 functions.
3505 [Steve Henson]
3506
3507 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3508 structure of type "other".
3509 [Steve Henson]
3510
3511 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3512 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3513 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3514 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3515 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3516 situation in the script.
3517 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3518
3519 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3520 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3521 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3522 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3523 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3524 used as premaster secret.
3525 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3526
3527 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3528 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3529 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3530
3531 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3532 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3533
3534 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3535 control of the error stack.
3536 [Richard Levitte]
3537
3538 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3539 [Richard Levitte]
3540
3541 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3542 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3543 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3544 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3545 [Richard Levitte]
3546
3547 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3548 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3549 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3550 [Richard Levitte]
3551
3552 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3553 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3554 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3555 a memory area.
3556 [Richard Levitte]
3557
3558 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3559 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3560 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3561 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3562 [Richard Levitte]
3563
3564 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3565 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3566 the following flags are defined:
3567
3568 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3569 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3570 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3571 number.
3572
3573 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3574 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3575 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3576 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3577 returns zero.
3578 [Richard Levitte]
3579
3580 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3581 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3582 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3583 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3584 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3585 [Richard Levitte]
3586
3587 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3588 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3589 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3590 [Richard Levitte]
3591
3592 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3593 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3594 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3595 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3596 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3597 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3598 [Richard Levitte]
3599
3600 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3601 req and dirName.
3602 [Steve Henson]
3603
3604 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3605 [Steve Henson]
3606
3607 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3608 [Steve Henson]
3609
3610 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3611 [Steve Henson]
3612
3613 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3614 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3615 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3616 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3617 default implementation more easily.
3618 [Geoff Thorpe]
3619
3620 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3621 in config files.
3622 [Steve Henson]
3623
3624 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3625 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3626 [Richard Levitte]
3627
3628 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3629 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3630 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3631 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3632
3633 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3634 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3635 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3636 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3637 [Steve Henson]
3638
3639 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3640 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3641 to do it.
3642 [Richard Levitte]
3643
3644 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3645 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3646 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3647 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3648 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3649 scalar * generator).
3650 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3651
3652 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3653 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3654 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3655 correctly.
3656 [Steve Henson]
3657
3658 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3659 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3660 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3661 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3662 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3663 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3664 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3665 linker additions, eg;
3666 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3667 [Geoff Thorpe]
3668
3669 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3670 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3671 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3672 [Geoff Thorpe]
3673
3674 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3675 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3676 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3677 via PR#459)
3678 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3679
3680 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3681 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3682 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3683 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3684 [Geoff Thorpe]
3685
3686 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3687 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3688 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3689 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3690 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3691 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3692 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3693 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3694 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3695 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3696
3697 Example for using the new callback interface:
3698
3699 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3700 void *my_arg = ...;
3701 BN_GENCB my_cb;
3702
3703 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3704
3705 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3706 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3707 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3708 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3709 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3710 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3711 */
3712
3713 [Geoff Thorpe]
3714
3715 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3716 available to TLS with the number defined in
3717 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3718 [Richard Levitte]
3719
3720 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3721 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3722
3723 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3724 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3725 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3726 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3727
3728 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3729 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3730
3731 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3732 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3733 well.
3734 [Richard Levitte]
3735
3736 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3737 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3738 [Richard Levitte]
3739
3740 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3741 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3742 and a macro that behave like
3743 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3744
3745 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3746 [Nils Larsch]
3747
3748 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3749 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3750 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3751 if applicable.
3752 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3753
3754 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3755 [Bodo Moeller]
3756
3757 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3758 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3759 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3760 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3761 directory engines/.
3762 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3763 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3764 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3765 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3766 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3767 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3768 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3769 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3770
3771 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3772 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3773 [Richard Levitte]
3774
3775 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3776 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3777
3778 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3779 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3780 files while avoiding the low level API.
3781
3782 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3783 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3784 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3785 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3786
3787 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3788 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3789 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3790 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3791 instead of the low level API.
3792 [Steve Henson]
3793
3794 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3795 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3796 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3797 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3798 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3799 PKCS#7 code.
3800
3801 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3802 down to the template encoder.
3803 [Steve Henson]
3804
3805 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3806 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3807 [Bodo Moeller]
3808
3809 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3810 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3811 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3812 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3813
3814 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3815 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3816
3817 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3818 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3819
3820 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3821 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3822 [Bodo Moeller]
3823
3824 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3825 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3826 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3827 [Bodo Moeller]
3828
3829 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3830 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3831
3832 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3833 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3834
3835 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3836 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3837 New EC_METHOD:
3838
3839 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3840
3841 New API functions:
3842
3843 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3844 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3845 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3846 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3847 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3848 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3849
3850 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3851 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3852 enable it).
3853
3854 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3855 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3856 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3857 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3858 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3859 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3860 various internal method names.)
3861
3862 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3863 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3864
3865 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3866 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3867
3868 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3869 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3870
3871 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3872 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3873 methods are undefined.
3874
3875 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3876 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3877
3878 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3879 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3880 length of the modulus.
3881
3882 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3883 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3884
3885 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3886 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3887
3888 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3889 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3890
3891 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3892 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3893 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3894
3895 BN_GF2m_add
3896 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3897 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3898 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3899 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3900 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
3901 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3902 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3903 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3904 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3905
3906 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3907 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3908
3909 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3910 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3911 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3912 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3913 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3914 where
3915 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3916 This applies to the following functions:
3917
3918 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
3919 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
3920 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
3921 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3922 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3923 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
3924 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3925 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3926 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3927 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3928
3929 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3930
3931 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3932 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3933
3934 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3935
3936 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3937 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3938 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3939 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3940 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3941
3942 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3943 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3944
3945 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3946 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3947 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3948
3949 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3950 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3951
3952 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3953 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3954 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3955 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3956 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3957
3958 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3959 functions
3960 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3961 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3962 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3963 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3964 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3965 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3966 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3967 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3968 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3969 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3970 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3971 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3972
3973 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3974 functions
3975 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
3976 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3977 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3978 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3979 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3980
3981 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3982 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3983 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3984 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3985
3986 *) Add functions
3987 EC_POINT_point2bn()
3988 EC_POINT_bn2point()
3989 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3990 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3991 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3992 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3993 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3994
3995 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3996 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3997 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3998 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3999 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4000 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4001 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4002 adding different types of curves.
4003 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4004
4005 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4006 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4007 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4008 [Bodo Moeller]
4009
4010 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4011 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4012
4013 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4014 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4015 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4016 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4017
4018 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4019
4020 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4021 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4022
4023 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4024 library. Most notably,
4025 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4026 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4027 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4028 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4029 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4030 extracted before the specific public key;
4031 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4032 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4033
4034 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4035 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4036 function
4037 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4038 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4039 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4040 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4041 accessed via
4042 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4043 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4044 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4045
4046 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4047 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4048 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4049 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4050 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4051 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4052 differing sizes.
4053 [Richard Levitte]
4054
4055 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4056
4057 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4058 sensitive data.
4059 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4060
4061 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4062 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4063 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4064 [Bodo Moeller]
4065
4066 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4067 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4068 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4069 [Victor Duchovni]
4070
4071 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4072 [Steve Henson]
4073
4074 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4075 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4076 [Steve Henson]
4077
4078 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4079 run algorithm test programs.
4080 [Steve Henson]
4081
4082 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4083 [Steve Henson]
4084
4085 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4086 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4087 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4088 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4089 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4090 [Bodo Moeller]
4091
4092 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4093 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4094 [Steve Henson]
4095
4096 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4097
4098 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4099 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4100 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4101
4102 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4103 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4104
4105 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4106 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4107
4108 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4109 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4110 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4111
4112 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4113 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4114 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4115 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4116 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4117 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4118 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4119 [Bodo Moeller]
4120
4121 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4122
4123 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4124 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4125
4126 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4127 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4128 undesirable limitations.
4129 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4130
4131 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4132
4133 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4134 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4135 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4136
4137 The latter two were purportedly from
4138 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4139 appear there.
4140
4141 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4142 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4143 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4144 [Bodo Moeller]
4145
4146 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4147 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4148 [Bodo Moeller]
4149
4150 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4151
4152 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4153 module in FIPS mode.
4154 [Steve Henson]
4155
4156 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4157 [Steve Henson]
4158
4159 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4160 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4161 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4162 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4163 [Steve Henson]
4164
4165 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4166
4167 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4168 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4169 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4170 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4171 the difference induced by this change.
4172 [Andy Polyakov]
4173
4174 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4175
4176 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4177 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4178 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4179 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4180 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4181
4182 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4183 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4184 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4185
4186 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4187 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4188 [Steve Henson]
4189
4190 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4191 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4192 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4193 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4194 biased k.)
4195 [Bodo Moeller]
4196
4197 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4198 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4199 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4200 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4201 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4202
4203 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4204 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4205 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4206 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4207 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4208 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4209
4210 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4211
4212 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4213 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4214 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4215 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4216 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4217 [Bodo Moeller]
4218
4219 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4220 clients need.
4221 [Steve Henson]
4222
4223 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4224 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4225 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4226 [Steve Henson]
4227
4228 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4229 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4230 structures constant.
4231 [Steve Henson]
4232
4233 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4234
4235 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4236 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4237
4238 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4239 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4240 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4241 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4242 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4243 some needed definitions.
4244 [Steve Henson]
4245
4246 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4247 [Ulf Möller]
4248
4249 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4250 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4251 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4252 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4253 [Richard Levitte]
4254
4255 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4256
4257 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4258 server and client random values. Previously
4259 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4260 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4261
4262 This change has negligible security impact because:
4263
4264 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4265 data.
4266
4267 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4268 handshake.
4269
4270 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4271 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4272 values.
4273
4274 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4275 to our attention.
4276
4277 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4278
4279 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4280 [Ulf Möller]
4281
4282 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4283 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4284 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4285
4286 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4287 [Steve Henson]
4288
4289 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4290 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4291 [Andy Polyakov]
4292
4293 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4294 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4295 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4296
4297 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4298 [Steve Henson]
4299
4300 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4301 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4302 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4303 certificates.
4304 [Steve Henson]
4305
4306 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4307 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4308 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4309 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4310
4311 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4312 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4313 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4314 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4315 been given)
4316 [Richard Levitte]
4317
4318 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4319
4320 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4321 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4322 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4323 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4324 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4325 [Steve Henson]
4326
4327 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4328 [Steve Henson]
4329
4330 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4331 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4332
4333 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4334 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4335 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4336 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4337 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4338 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4339 rather than being initialized to 1.
4340 [Steve Henson]
4341
4342 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4343
4344 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4345 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4346 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4347
4348 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4349 (CVE-2004-0112)
4350 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4351
4352 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4353 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4354 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4355 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4356 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4357 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4358 [Richard Levitte]
4359
4360 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4361 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4362 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4363 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4364 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4365 for these cases.
4366 [Steve Henson]
4367
4368 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4369 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4370 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4371 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4372 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4373 [Steve Henson]
4374
4375 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4376 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4377 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4378 < 0.9.7.
4379 [Steve Henson]
4380
4381 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4382 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4383
4384 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4385 [Steve Henson]
4386
4387 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4388
4389 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4390
4391 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4392 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4393
4394 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4395
4396 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4397 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4398
4399 [Steve Henson]
4400
4401 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4402 exiting on the first error in a request.
4403 [Steve Henson]
4404
4405 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4406 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4407 specifications.
4408 [Steve Henson]
4409
4410 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4411 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4412 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4413 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4414
4415 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4416 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4417 [Richard Levitte]
4418
4419 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4420 blocks during encryption.
4421 [Richard Levitte]
4422
4423 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4424 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4425 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4426 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4427 certain size.
4428 [Steve Henson]
4429
4430 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4431 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4432 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4433 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4434 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4435 parser.
4436 [Steve Henson]
4437
4438 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4439
4440 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4441 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4442 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4443 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4444 [Bodo Moeller]
4445
4446 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4447 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4448 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4449 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4450 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4451
4452 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4453 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4454 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4455 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4456 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4457 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4458 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4459 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4460 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4461 [Bodo Moeller]
4462
4463 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4464 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4465 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4466 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4467 [Geoff Thorpe]
4468
4469 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4470 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4471 [Ulf Moeller]
4472
4473 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4474
4475 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4476 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4477 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4478 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4479 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4480
4481 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4482 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4483 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4484
4485 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4486 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4487 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4488 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4489 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4490
4491 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4492 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4493 used by default when no-err is given.
4494 [Richard Levitte]
4495
4496 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4497 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4498
4499 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4500 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4501 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4502 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4503 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4504
4505 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4506 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4507 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4508 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4509
4510 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4511
4512 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4513
4514 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4515
4516 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4517 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4518 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4519 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4520 root is omitted).
4521 [Steve Henson]
4522
4523 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4524 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4525
4526 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4527 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4528 [Steve Henson]
4529
4530 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4531 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4532 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4533 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4534 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4535
4536 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4537 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4538 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4539 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4540 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4541 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4542 followup to PR #377.
4543 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4544
4545 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4546 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4547 [Andy Polyakov]
4548
4549 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4550 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4551 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
4552 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
4553
4554 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
4555
4556 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4557 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
4558
4559 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4560 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4561 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
4562 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
4563 client and server.
4564 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4565 PR #377.
4566 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4567
4568 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
4569 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4570 removed entirely.
4571 [Richard Levitte]
4572
4573 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4574 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4575 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4576 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4577 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4578 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4579 of libcrypto.
4580 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4581 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4582 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4583 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4584 have to be made anyway).
4585 [Richard Levitte]
4586
4587 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4588 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4589 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4590 [Steve Henson]
4591
4592 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4593 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4594 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4595 [Richard Levitte]
4596
4597 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4598 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4599 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4600
4601 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4602 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4603 edit numbers of the version.
4604 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4605
4606 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4607 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4608 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4609
4610 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4611 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4612
4613 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4614 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4615 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4616
4617 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4618 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4619
4620 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4621 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4622
4623 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4624 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4625
4626 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4627 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4628
4629 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4630 overflows.
4631 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4632
4633 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4634 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4635 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4636
4637 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4638 representations in a platform independent manner.
4639 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4640
4641 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4642 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4643 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4644
4645 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4646 indents.
4647 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4648
4649 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4650 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4651
4652 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4653 full. Fixed.
4654 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4655
4656 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4657 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4658 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4659
4660 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4661 unconditionally).
4662 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4663
4664 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4665 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4666
4667 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4668 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4669
4670 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4671 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4672
4673 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4674 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4675
4676 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4677 CBCParameter.
4678 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4679
4680 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4681 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4682
4683 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4684 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4685
4686 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4687 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4688 exploitable.
4689 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4690
4691 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4692 the 0.9.6 release series:
4693
4694 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4695 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4696 (CVE-2002-0657)
4697 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4698
4699 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4700 [Richard Levitte]
4701
4702 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4703 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4704
4705 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4706 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4707
4708 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4709 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4710 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4711 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4712
4713 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4714 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4715 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4716
4717 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4718 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4719 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4720 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4721
4722 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4723 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4724 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4725 some local tweaks:
4726
4727 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4728 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4729 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4730 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4731 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4732 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4733 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4734 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4735 done
4736
4737 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4738 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4739 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4740 [Richard Levitte]
4741
4742 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4743 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4744 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4745 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4746 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4747
4748 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4749 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4750
4751 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4752 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4753 [Richard Levitte]
4754
4755 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4756 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4757 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4758 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4759 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4760 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4761 [Steve Henson]
4762
4763 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4764 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4765 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4766 [Steve Henson]
4767
4768 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4769 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4770 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4771
4772 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4773 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4774 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4775 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4776 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4777 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4778 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4779 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4780
4781 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4782 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4783 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4784 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4785 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4786 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4787 [Steve Henson]
4788
4789 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4790 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4791 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4792 declaration has been changed from
4793 int (*cb)()
4794 into
4795 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4796 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4797 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4798 has been changed into
4799 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4800
4801 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4802 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4803 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4804
4805 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4806 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4807
4808 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4809 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4810 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4811 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4812 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4813 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4814 always load it have also been added.
4815 [Steve Henson]
4816
4817 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4818 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4819 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4820
4821 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4822
4823 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4824 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4825 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4826
4827 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4828 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4829 command line option can be used to specify an
4830 alternative file.
4831 [Steve Henson]
4832
4833 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4834 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4835 [Steve Henson]
4836
4837 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4838 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4839 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4840 [Steve Henson]
4841
4842 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4843 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4844 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4845 to work with the new engine framework.
4846 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4847
4848 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4849 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4850 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4851 to work with the new engine framework.
4852 [Richard Levitte]
4853
4854 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4855 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4856 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4857
4858 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4859 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4860
4861 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4862 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4863 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4864 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4865 FORMAT_IISSGC.
4866 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4867
4868 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4869 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4870
4871 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4872 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4873
4874 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4875 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4876 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4877 [Ben Laurie]
4878
4879 *) Add new functions
4880 ERR_peek_last_error
4881 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4882 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4883 These are similar to
4884 ERR_peek_error
4885 ERR_peek_error_line
4886 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4887 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4888 still in the error queue.
4889 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4890
4891 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4892 like:
4893 default_algorithms = ALL
4894 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4895 [Steve Henson]
4896
4897 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4898 [Steve Henson]
4899
4900 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4901 [Steve Henson]
4902
4903 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4904 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4905 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4906 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4907
4908 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4909 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4910
4911 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4912 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4913
4914 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4915 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4916 [Bodo Moeller]
4917
4918 *) New functions/macros
4919
4920 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4921 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4922 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4923 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4924
4925 to request calling a callback function
4926
4927 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4928 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4929
4930 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4931 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4932 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4933 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4934 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4935 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4936 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4937 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4938 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4939 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4940
4941 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4942 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4943 [Bodo Moeller]
4944
4945 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4946 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4947 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4948 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4949 the configuration scripts.
4950
4951 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4952 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4953 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4954
4955 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4956 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4957
4958 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4959 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4960 when reusing an existing buffer.
4961 [Bodo Moeller]
4962
4963 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4964 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4965 [Steve Henson]
4966
4967 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4968 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4969 [Ben Laurie]
4970
4971 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4972 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4973 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4974 has the same effect.
4975 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4976
4977 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4978 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4979 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4980 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4981 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4982 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4983 exception.
4984
4985 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4986 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4987 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4988 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4989
4990 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4991 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4992 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4993 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4994
4995 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4996 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4997 won't work.
4998
4999 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5000 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5001 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5002 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5003 default), and then completely removed.
5004 [Richard Levitte]
5005
5006 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5007 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5008 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5009 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5010 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5011 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5012 particular extension is supported.
5013 [Steve Henson]
5014
5015 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5016 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5020 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5021 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5022 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5023 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5024 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5025 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5026 requires the destination to be valid.
5027
5028 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5029 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5030 [Steve Henson]
5031
5032 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5033 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5034 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5035 [Bodo Moeller]
5036
5037 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5038 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5039
5040 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5041 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5042 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5043 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5044 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5045 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5046 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5047 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5048 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5049 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5050 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5051 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5052 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5053 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5054 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5055 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5056 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5057 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5058 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5059 the new code.
5060 [Geoff Thorpe]
5061
5062 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5063 [Steve Henson]
5064
5065 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5066 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5067 become part of libeay.num as well.
5068 [Richard Levitte]
5069
5070 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5071 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5072 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5073 false once a handshake has been completed.
5074 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5075 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5076 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5077 client has followed the request.)
5078 [Bodo Moeller]
5079
5080 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5081 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5082 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5083 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5084
5085 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5086 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5087 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5088 [Bodo Moeller]
5089
5090 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5091 [Steve Henson]
5092
5093 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5094 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5095 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5096 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5097
5098 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5099 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5100 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5101
5102 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5103 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5104 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5105 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5106 [Geoff Thorpe]
5107
5108 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5109 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5110 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5111 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5112 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5113 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5114 [Geoff Thorpe]
5115
5116 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5117 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5118 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5119 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5120 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5121 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5122 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5123 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5124 [Geoff Thorpe]
5125
5126 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5127 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5128 [Geoff Thorpe]
5129
5130 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5131 [Ben Laurie]
5132
5133 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5134 md_data void pointer.
5135 [Ben Laurie]
5136
5137 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5138 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5139 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5140 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5141 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5142 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5143 [Ben Laurie]
5144
5145 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5146 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5147 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5148 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5149 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5150 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5151 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5152 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5153 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5154 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5155 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5156 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5157 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5158 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5159 rather than letting it slide.
5160
5161 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5162 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5163 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5164 [Geoff Thorpe]
5165
5166 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5167 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5168 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5169 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5170 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5171 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5172 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5173 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5174 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5175 [Geoff Thorpe]
5176
5177 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5178 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5179 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5180 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5181 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5182
5183 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5184 [Geoff Thorpe]
5185
5186 *) Add EVP test program.
5187 [Ben Laurie]
5188
5189 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5190 [Ben Laurie]
5191
5192 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5193 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5194 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5195 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5196 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5197 [Steve Henson]
5198
5199 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5200 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5201 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5202 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5203 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5204 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5205 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5206
5207 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5208 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5209 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5210 Usage example:
5211
5212 EVP_MD_CTX md;
5213
5214 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5215 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5216 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5217 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5218 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5219
5220 [Ben Laurie]
5221
5222 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5223 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5224 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5225 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5226 anyway): E.g.,
5227
5228 des_key_schedule ks;
5229
5230 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5231 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5232
5233 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5234 [Ben Laurie]
5235
5236 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5237 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5238 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5239 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5240 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5241 functions prevents this.
5242 [Steve Henson]
5243
5244 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5245 [Ben Laurie]
5246
5247 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5248 correct _ecb suffix.
5249 [Ben Laurie]
5250
5251 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5252 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5253 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5254 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5255 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5256 [Steve Henson]
5257
5258 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5259 [Richard Levitte]
5260
5261 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5262 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5263 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5264 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5265
5266 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5267 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5268
5269 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5270 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5271 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5272 via Richard Levitte]
5273
5274 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5275 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5276 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5277 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5278 [Geoff Thorpe]
5279
5280 *) Speed up EVP routines.
5281 Before:
5282 encrypt
5283 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

5296 [Ben Laurie]
5297
5298 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5299 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5300
5301 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5302 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5303 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5304 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5305 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5306 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5307 [Steve Henson]
5308
5309 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5310 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5311 [Richard Levitte]
5312
5313 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5314 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5315 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5316 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5317
5318 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5319 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5320 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5321 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5322 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5323 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5324 callback.
5325 [Richard Levitte]
5326
5327 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5328 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5329 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5330 and interrupts/cancellations.
5331 [Richard Levitte]
5332
5333 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5334 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5335 [Steve Henson]
5336
5337 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5338 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5339 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5340
5341 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5342 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5343 kind of callback.
5344 [Richard Levitte]
5345
5346 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5347 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5348 than this minimum value is recommended.
5349 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5350
5351 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5352 that are easily reachable.
5353 [Richard Levitte]
5354
5355 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5356 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5357
5358 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5359
5360 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5361 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5362 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5363 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5364 [Steve Henson]
5365
5366 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5367 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5368 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5369 [Steve Henson]
5370
5371 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5372 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5373 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5374 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5375 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5376 internally such as S/MIME.
5377
5378 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5379 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5380 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5381
5382 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5383 applications.
5384 [Steve Henson]
5385
5386 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5387 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5388 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5389 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5390
5391 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5392
5393 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5394
5395 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5396 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5397 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5398 handling.
5399 [Steve Henson]
5400
5401 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5402 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5403 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5404 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5405 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5406 a window system and the like.
5407 [Richard Levitte]
5408
5409 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5410 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5411 [Geoff]
5412
5413 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5414 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5415 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5416 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5417 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5418 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5419 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5420 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5421 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5422 ENGINE structure.
5423 [Geoff]
5424
5425 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5426 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5427 tag cache.
5428 [Steve Henson]
5429
5430 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5431 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5432 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5433 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5434 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5435 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5436 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5437 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5438 [Geoff]
5439
5440 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5441 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5442 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5443 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5444 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5445 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5446 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5447 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5448 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5449 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5450 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5451 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5452 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5453 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5454 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5455 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5456 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5457 [Geoff]
5458
5459 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5460 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5461 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5462 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5463 internal engine_int.h header.
5464 [Geoff]
5465
5466 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5467 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5468 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5469 modify their own ones).
5470 [Geoff]
5471
5472 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5473 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5474 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5475 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5476 later on via ctrl() commands.
5477 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5478 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5479 structural references.
5480 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5481 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5482 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5483 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5484 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5485 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5486 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5487 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5488 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5489 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5490 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5491 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5492 [Geoff]
5493
5494 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5495 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5496 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5497 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5498 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5499 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5500 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5501 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5502 [Bodo Moeller]
5503
5504 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5505 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5506 [Steve Henson]
5507
5508 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5509 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5510 [Steve Henson]
5511
5512 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5513 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5514 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5515 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5516 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5517 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5518 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5519 [Steve Henson]
5520
5521 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5522 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5523 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5524 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5525 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5526
5527 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5528 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5529 generator).
5530 [Bodo Moeller]
5531
5532 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5533
5534 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5535 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5536 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5537
5538 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5539 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5540
5541 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5542 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5543 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5544
5545 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5546 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5547
5548 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5549 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5550
5551 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5552
5553 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5554 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5555 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5556 [Bodo Moeller]
5557
5558 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5559 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5560 [Richard Levitte]
5561
5562 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5563 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5564 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5565 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5566 is 40 of more characters long.
5567 [Steve Henson]
5568
5569 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5570 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5571 pointers.
5572 [Steve Henson]
5573
5574 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5575 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5576 [Bodo Moeller]
5577
5578 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5579 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5580 might.
5581 [Steve Henson]
5582
5583 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5584
5585 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5586 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5587
5588 ASN1 error codes
5589 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5590 ...
5591 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5592 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5593 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5594 ...
5595 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5596 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5597
5598 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5599 [Bodo Moeller]
5600
5601 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5602 suffices.
5603 [Bodo Moeller]
5604
5605 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5606 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5607 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5608 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5609 and
5610 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5611
5612 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5613 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5614
5615 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5616 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5617 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5618 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5619 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5620 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5621
5622 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5623 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5624
5625 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5626 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5627
5628 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5629 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5630
5631 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5632 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5633 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5634 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5635
5636 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5637 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5638
5639 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5640 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5641
5642 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5643 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5644 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5645 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5646 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5647 [Richard Levitte]
5648
5649 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5650 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5651 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5652 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5653 [Steve Henson]
5654
5655 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5656 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5657 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5658 trust settings.
5659 [Steve Henson]
5660
5661 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5662 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5663 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5664 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5665 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5666 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5667 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5668 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5669 ocsp utility.
5670 [Steve Henson]
5671
5672 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5673 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5674 [Steve Henson]
5675
5676 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5677 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5678 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5679 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5680 [Steve Henson]
5681
5682 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5683 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5684 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5685 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5686 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5687 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5688 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5689 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5690 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5691 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5692 [Steve Henson]
5693
5694 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5695 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5696 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5697 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5698 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5699 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5700 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5701 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5702
5703 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5704 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5705 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5706 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5707 [Richard Levitte]
5708
5709 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5710 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5711 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5712 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5713 opensslconf.h.
5714 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5715 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5716 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5717 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5718 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5719 what is available.
5720 [Richard Levitte]
5721
5722 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5723 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5724 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5725 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5726 auto incremented.
5727 [Steve Henson]
5728
5729 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5730 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5731 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5732 [Steve Henson]
5733
5734 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5735 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5736 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5737 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5738 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5739 [Steve Henson]
5740
5741 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5742 [Steve Henson]
5743
5744 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5745 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5746 option to ocsp utility.
5747 [Steve Henson]
5748
5749 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5750 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5751 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5752 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5753 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5754 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5755 the request is nonce-less.
5756 [Steve Henson]
5757
5758 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5759 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5760 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5761 [Bodo Moeller]
5762
5763 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5764 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5765 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5766 [Steve Henson]
5767
5768 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5769 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5770 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5771 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5772 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5773 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5774
5775 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5776 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5777 appear to exist.
5778 [Steve Henson]
5779
5780 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5781 additional certificates supplied.
5782 [Steve Henson]
5783
5784 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5785 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5786 signature against.
5787 [Richard Levitte]
5788
5789 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5790 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5791 AES OIDs.
5792
5793 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5794 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5795 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5796 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5797 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5798 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5799 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5800 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5801 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5802
5803 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5804 request to response.
5805 [Steve Henson]
5806
5807 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5808 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5809 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5810 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5811 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5812 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5813 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5814 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5815 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5816 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5817 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5818 [Steve Henson]
5819
5820 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5821 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5822 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5823 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5824 [Steve Henson]
5825
5826 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5827 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5828
5829 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5830 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5831 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5832 [Steve Henson]
5833
5834 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5835 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5836 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5837 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5838 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5839
5840 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5841 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5842 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5843 [Steve Henson]
5844
5845 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5846 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5847 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5848 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5849 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5850 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5851 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5852 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5853
5854 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5855 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5856 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5857 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5858 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5859 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5860 [Steve Henson]
5861
5862 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5863 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5864 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5865 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5866 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5867 printout format cleaned up.
5868 [Steve Henson]
5869
5870 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5871 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5872 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5873 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5874 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5875 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5876 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5877 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5878 [Steve Henson]
5879
5880 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5881 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5882 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5883 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5884 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5885 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5886 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5887 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5888 [Steve Henson]
5889
5890 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5891 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5892 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5893 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5894 section to use.
5895 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5896
5897 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5898 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5899 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5900 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5901 [Steve Henson]
5902
5903 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5904 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5905 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5906 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5907 in the index file.
5908 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5909
5910 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5911 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5912 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5913 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5914
5915 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5916 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5917
5918 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5919 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5920 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5921 [Steve Henson]
5922
5923 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5924 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5925 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5926 [Bodo Moeller]
5927
5928 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5929 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5930 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5931 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5932 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5933 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5934 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5935 functions are provided:
5936
5937 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5938 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5939 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5940 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5941
5942 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5943 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5944 extended allocation function is enabled.
5945 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5946 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5947 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5948
5949 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5950 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5951 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5952 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5953 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5954 [Geoff Thorpe]
5955
5956 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5957 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5958 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5959 be queried.
5960 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5961 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5962 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5963 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5964
5965 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5966 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5967 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5968 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5969 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5970 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5971 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5972 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5973 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5974 [Richard Levitte]
5975
5976 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5977 provide utility functions which an application needing
5978 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5979 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5980 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5981
5982 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5983 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5984 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5985 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5986 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5987 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5988 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5989 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5990 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5991
5992 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5993 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5994 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5995 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5996 [Steve Henson]
5997
5998 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5999 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6000 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6001 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6002 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6003 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6004 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6005 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6006 will be added elsewhere.
6007 [Steve Henson]
6008
6009 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6010 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6011 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6012 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6013 [Steve Henson]
6014
6015 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6016 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6017 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6018 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6019 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6020 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6021 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6022 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6023 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6024 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6025 to produce the required SET OF.
6026 [Steve Henson]
6027
6028 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6029 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6030 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6031 [Richard Levitte]
6032
6033 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6034 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6035 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6036 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6037 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6038 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6039 [Steve Henson]
6040
6041 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6042 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6043 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6044 [Steve Henson]
6045
6046 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6047 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6048 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6049 [Richard Levitte]
6050
6051 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6052 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6053 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6054 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6055 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6056 [Steve Henson]
6057
6058 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6059 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6060 [Steve Henson]
6061
6062 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6063 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6064 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6065 certifcates and CRLs.
6066 [Steve Henson]
6067
6068 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6069 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6070 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6071 [Steve Henson]
6072
6073 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6074 entries for variables.
6075 [Steve Henson]
6076
6077 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6078 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6079 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6080 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6081 [Bodo Moeller]
6082
6083 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6084 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6085 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6086 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6087 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6088 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6089 [Bodo Moeller]
6090
6091 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6092 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6093
6094 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6095 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6096 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6097 [Steve Henson]
6098
6099 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6100 print routines.
6101 [Steve Henson]
6102
6103 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6104 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6105 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6106 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6107 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6108 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6109 [Steve Henson]
6110
6111 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6112 [Steve Henson]
6113
6114 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6115 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6116 for now but they will eventually go away.
6117 [Steve Henson]
6118
6119 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6120 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6121 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6122 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6123 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6124 has also been converted to the new form.
6125 [Steve Henson]
6126
6127 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6128 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6129 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6130 for negative moduli.
6131 [Bodo Moeller]
6132
6133 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6134 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6135 [Bodo Moeller]
6136
6137 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6138 set.
6139 [Bodo Moeller]
6140
6141 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6142 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6143 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6144 type-specific callbacks.
6145 [Geoff Thorpe]
6146
6147 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6148 RFC 2712.
6149 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6150 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6151
6152 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6153 in sections depending on the subject.
6154 [Richard Levitte]
6155
6156 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6157 Windows.
6158 [Richard Levitte]
6159
6160 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6161 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6162 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6163 be handled deterministically).
6164 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6165
6166 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6167 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6168 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6169 [Bodo Moeller]
6170
6171 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6172 [Bodo Moeller]
6173
6174 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6175 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6176 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6177 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6178 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6179 [Bodo Moeller]
6180
6181 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6182 sign of the number in question.
6183
6184 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6185
6186 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6187 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6188 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6189 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6190 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6191 [Bodo Moeller]
6192
6193 *) New function BN_swap.
6194 [Bodo Moeller]
6195
6196 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6197 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6198 results on negative inputs.
6199 [Bodo Moeller]
6200
6201 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6202 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6203 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6204 [Bodo Moeller]
6205
6206 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6207 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6208 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6209 and add new functions:
6210
6211 BN_nnmod
6212 BN_mod_sqr
6213 BN_mod_add
6214 BN_mod_add_quick
6215 BN_mod_sub
6216 BN_mod_sub_quick
6217 BN_mod_lshift1
6218 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6219 BN_mod_lshift
6220 BN_mod_lshift_quick
6221
6222 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6223
6224 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6225 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6226
6227 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6228 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6229 be reduced modulo m.
6230 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6231
6232 #if 0
6233 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6234 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6235 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6236
6237 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6238 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6239 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6240 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6241 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6242 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6243 differing sizes.
6244 [Richard Levitte]
6245 #endif
6246
6247 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6248 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6249 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6250 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6251 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6252
6253 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6254 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6255 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6256 cause any problems.
6257 [Bodo Moeller]
6258
6259 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6260 [Richard Levitte]
6261
6262 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6263 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6264 [Richard Levitte]
6265
6266 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6267 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6268 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6269 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6270 time)
6271 [Richard Levitte]
6272
6273 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6274 [Richard Levitte]
6275
6276 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6277 [Richard Levitte]
6278
6279 *) Add the following functions:
6280
6281 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6282 ENGINE_load_chil()
6283 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6284 ENGINE_load_nuron()
6285 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6286
6287 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6288 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6289 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6290 libraries unless it's really needed.
6291
6292 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6293 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6294 declarations (they differed!).
6295 [Richard Levitte]
6296
6297 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6298 [Richard Levitte]
6299
6300 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6301 [Richard Levitte]
6302
6303 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6304 [Bodo Moeller]
6305
6306 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6307 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6308 [Richard Levitte]
6309
6310 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6311 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6312 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6313
6314 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6315 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6316 [Richard Levitte]
6317
6318 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6319 [Richard Levitte]
6320
6321 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6322 [Richard Levitte]
6323
6324 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6325 [Ben Laurie]
6326
6327 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6328 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6329 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6330
6331 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6332 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6333 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6334 different shared library filenames on each system.
6335 [Geoff Thorpe]
6336
6337 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6338 [Richard Levitte]
6339
6340 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6341 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6342 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6343 of two sections.
6344 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6345
6346 *) NCONF changes.
6347 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6348 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6349 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6350 binary backward compatibility.
6351 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6352 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6353 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6354 LDAP server.
6355 [Richard Levitte]
6356
6357 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6358 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6359 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6360 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6361 this case.
6362 [Steve Henson]
6363
6364 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6365 [Ben Laurie]
6366
6367 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6368 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6369 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6370 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6371 set.
6372 [Steve Henson]
6373
6374 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6375 [Richard Levitte]
6376
6377 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6378
6379 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6380 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6381 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6382
6383 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6384
6385 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6386
6387 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6388 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6389 [Steve Henson]
6390
6391 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6392
6393 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6394
6395 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6396 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6397
6398 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6399 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6400
6401 [Steve Henson]
6402
6403 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6404 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6405 specifications.
6406 [Steve Henson]
6407
6408 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6409 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6410 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6411 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6412
6413 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6414 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6415 [Richard Levitte]
6416
6417 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6418
6419 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6420 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6421 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6422 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6423 [Bodo Moeller]
6424
6425 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6426 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6427 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6428 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6429 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6430
6431 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6432 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6433 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6434 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6435 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6436 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6437 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6438 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6439 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6440 [Bodo Moeller]
6441
6442 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6443
6444 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6445 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6446 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6447 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6448 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6449
6450 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6451 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6452 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6453
6454 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6455
6456 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6457 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6458 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6459 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6460 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6461 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6462 [Geoff Thorpe]
6463
6464 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6465 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6466 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6467 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6468 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6469 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6470
6471 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6472 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6473 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6474
6475 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6476 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6477 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6478 EVP_cleanup().
6479 [Richard Levitte]
6480
6481 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6482 being properly terminated.
6483 [Richard Levitte]
6484
6485 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6486 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6487 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6488 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6489
6490 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6491 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6492 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6493 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6494 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6495 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6496 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6497 change.
6498 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6499
6500 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6501 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6502 [Bodo Moeller]
6503
6504 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6505 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6506 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6507 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6508 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6509 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6510 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6511 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6512
6513 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6514 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6515 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6516 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6517 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6518
6519 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6520 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6521 [Steve Henson]
6522
6523 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6524
6525 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6526 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6527 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6528
6529 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6530
6531 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6532 and get fix the header length calculation.
6533 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6534 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6535 Steve Henson]
6536
6537 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6538 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6539 assertions could call abort()).
6540 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6541
6542 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6543
6544 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6545 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6546 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6547 supplied buffer.
6548 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6549
6550 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6551 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6552 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6553 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6554
6555 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6556 [Nils Larsch]
6557
6558 *) New option
6559 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6560 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6561 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6562
6563 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6564 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6565 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6566 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6567 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6568 applications.
6569 [Bodo Moeller]
6570
6571 *) Changes in security patch:
6572
6573 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6574 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6575 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6576 F30602-01-2-0537.
6577
6578 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6579 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6580 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6581 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6582 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6583
6584 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6585 happen in practice.
6586 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6587
6588 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6589 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6590 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6591
6592 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6593 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6594 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6595
6596 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6597 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6598 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6599
6600 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6601
6602 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6603 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6604 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6605
6606 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6607 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6608
6609 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6610 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6611 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6612 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6613 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6614 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6615 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6616
6617 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6618 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6619 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6620 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6621 [Bodo Moeller]
6622
6623 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6624 [Bodo Moeller]
6625
6626 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6627 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6628 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6629 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6630 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6631 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6632
6633 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6634 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6635 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6636 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6637 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6638 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6639
6640 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6641 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6642 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6643 BN_generate_prime().)
6644
6645 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6646 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6647 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6648 better.
6649 [Bodo Moeller]
6650
6651 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6652 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6653 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6654
6655 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6656 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6657 when using non-blocking I/O.
6658 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6659
6660 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6661 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6662
6663 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6664 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6665 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6666
6667 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6668 configuration for the versions before that.
6669 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6670
6671 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6672 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6673 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6674 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6675 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6676
6677 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6678 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6679 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6680 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6681
6682 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6683 value is 0.
6684 [Richard Levitte]
6685
6686 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6687 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6688 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6689
6690 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6691 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6692
6693 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6694 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6695 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6696 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6697 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6698 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6699 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6700 session cache.
6701
6702 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6703 using a local variable.
6704 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6705
6706 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6707 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6708 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6709
6710 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6711 [Richard Levitte]
6712
6713 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6714 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6715
6716 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6717 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6718 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6719
6720 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6721
6722 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6723 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6724 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6725 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6726 [Bodo Moeller]
6727
6728 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6729 present.
6730 [Steve Henson]
6731
6732 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6733 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6734 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6735 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6736 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6737
6738 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6739 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6740 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6741
6742 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6743 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6744 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6745
6746 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6747 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6748 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6749 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6750
6751 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6752 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6753 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6754 modules).
6755 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6756
6757 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6758 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6759 from 0.9.7.
6760 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6761
6762 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6763 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6764 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6765 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6766
6767 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6768 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6769 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6770 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6771
6772 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6773 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6774
6775 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6776 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6777 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6778 [Bodo Moeller]
6779
6780 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6781 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6782 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6783 become invalid.
6784 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6785
6786 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6787 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6788 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6789 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6790 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6791 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6792 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6793 [Bodo Moeller]
6794
6795 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6796 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6797 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6798 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6799
6800 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6801 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6802 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6803 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6804 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6805 the client will at least see that alert.
6806 [Bodo Moeller]
6807
6808 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6809 correctly.
6810 [Bodo Moeller]
6811
6812 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6813 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6814 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6815
6816 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6817 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6818 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6819 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6820 HelloRequest.
6821
6822 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6823 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6824 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6825
6826 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6827 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6828 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6829 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6830 may leak via logfiles.)
6831
6832 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6833 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6834 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6835 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6836 the legal range.
6837 [Bodo Moeller]
6838
6839 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6840 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6841 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6842
6843 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6844 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6845 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6846 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6847 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6848 [Bodo Moeller]
6849
6850 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6851 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6852
6853 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6854 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6855 followed by modular reduction.
6856 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6857
6858 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6859 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6860 [Bodo Moeller]
6861
6862 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6863 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6864 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6865 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6866 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6867
6868 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6869 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6870
6871 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6872 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6873 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6874
6875 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6876 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6877 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6878 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6879 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6880 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6881 automatically.
6882 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6883
6884 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6885 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6886 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6887 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6888 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6889
6890 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6891 [Andy Polyakov]
6892
6893 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6894 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6895 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6896 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6897 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6898 to allow the necessary settings.
6899 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6900
6901 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6902 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6903 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6904 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6905 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6906
6907 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6908 dh->length and always used
6909
6910 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6911
6912 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6913 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6914 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6915 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6916 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6917 dh->length.
6918
6919 So switch back to
6920
6921 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6922
6923 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6924 otherwise.
6925 [Bodo Moeller]
6926
6927 *) In
6928
6929 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6930 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6931 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6932 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6933
6934 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6935 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6936 always reject numbers >= n.
6937 [Bodo Moeller]
6938
6939 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6940 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6941 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6942 variable) is not atomic.
6943 [Bodo Moeller]
6944
6945 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6946 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6947 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6948 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6949
6950 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6951 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6952
6953 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6954 little-endian MIPS.
6955 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6956
6957 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6958 [Richard Levitte]
6959
6960 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6961
6962 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6963 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6964 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6965 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6966 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6967 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6968 to traverse all of 'state'.
6969
6970 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6971 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6972 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6973
6974 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6975 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6976
6977 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6978 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6979 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6980 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6981 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6982 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6983 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6984 further strengthens the PRNG.
6985 [Bodo Moeller]
6986
6987 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6988 [Andy Polyakov]
6989
6990 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6991 an error message in this case.
6992 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6993
6994 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6995 [Steve Henson]
6996
6997 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6998 positive and less than q.
6999 [Bodo Moeller]
7000
7001 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7002 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7003 that itself.
7004 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7005
7006 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7007 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7008 [Bodo Moeller]
7009
7010 *) Fix OAEP check.
7011 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7012
7013 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7014 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7015 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7016 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7017 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7018 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7019 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7020 paper.)
7021
7022 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7023 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7024 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7025 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7026
7027 Both problems are now fixed.
7028 [Bodo Moeller]
7029
7030 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7031 (previously it was 1024).
7032 [Bodo Moeller]
7033
7034 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7035 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7036 [Steve Henson]
7037
7038 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7039 [Steve Henson]
7040
7041 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7042 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7043 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7044 [Steve Henson]
7045
7046 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7047 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7048 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7049 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7050 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7051 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7052 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7053 environment variables.
7054
7055 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7056 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7057 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7058 [Bodo Moeller]
7059
7060 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7061 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7062 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7063 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7064 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7065 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7066 [Bodo Moeller]
7067
7068 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7069 versions of 'test'.
7070 [Bodo Moeller]
7071
7072 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7073
7074 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7075 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7076
7077 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7078 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7079 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7080 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7081 CygWin.
7082 [Richard Levitte]
7083
7084 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7085 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7086 amount of data available.
7087 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7088 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7089
7090 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7091 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7092 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7093 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7094 [Bodo Moeller]
7095
7096 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7097 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7098 and UnixWare.
7099 [Richard Levitte]
7100
7101 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7102 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7103 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7104 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7105 [Ulf Moeller]
7106
7107 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7108 [Andy Polyakov]
7109
7110 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7111 [Richard Levitte]
7112
7113 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7114 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7115 [Steve Henson]
7116 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7117
7118 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7119 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7120 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7121 (but broken) behaviour.
7122 [Steve Henson]
7123
7124 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7125 it when found.
7126 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7127
7128 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7129 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7130 [Bodo Moeller]
7131
7132 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7133 did not exist.
7134 [Bodo Moeller]
7135
7136 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7137 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7138
7139 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7140 [Richard Levitte]
7141
7142 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7143 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7144 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7145
7146 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7147 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7148 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7149 [Steve Henson]
7150
7151 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7152 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7153 [Ulf Moeller]
7154
7155 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7156 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7157
7158 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7159
7160 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7161
7162 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7163 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7164 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7165 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7166 [Bodo Moeller]
7167
7168 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7169 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7170
7171 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7172 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7173 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7174
7175 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7176 was empty.
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7179
7180 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7181 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7182 but the code is actually correct.
7183 [Steve Henson]
7184
7185 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7186 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7187 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7188 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7189 and leaves the highest bit random.
7190 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7191
7192 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7193 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7194 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7195 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7196 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7197 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7198 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7199 [Bodo Moeller]
7200
7201 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7202 [Ulf Moeller]
7203
7204 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7205 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7206 [Steve Henson]
7207
7208 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7209 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7210 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7211 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7212 headers.
7213 [Richard Levitte]
7214
7215 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7216 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7217 and break the signature.
7218 [Steve Henson]
7219 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7220
7221 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7222 DH ciphersuites.
7223 [Steve Henson]
7224
7225 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7226 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7227 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7228 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7229 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7230 [Bodo Moeller]
7231
7232 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7233 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7234
7235 *) ./config script fixes.
7236 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7237
7238 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7239 [Bodo Moeller]
7240
7241 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7242 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7243 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7244 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7245 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7246
7247 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7248 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7249 [Bodo Moeller]
7250
7251 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7252 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7253 [Steve Henson]
7254
7255 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7256 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7257 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7258 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7259
7260 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7261 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7262
7263 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7264 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7265 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7266 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7267 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7268
7269 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7270 [Bodo Moeller]
7271
7272 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7273 [Ulf Möller]
7274
7275 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7276 [Ulf Möller]
7277
7278 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7279 [Bodo Moeller]
7280
7281 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7282 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7283 [Bodo Moeller]
7284
7285 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7286 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7287 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7288 result of the server certificate verification.)
7289 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7290
7291 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7292 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7293 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7294 [Bodo Moeller]
7295
7296 *) Fix SSL_peek:
7297 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7298 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7299 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7300 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7301 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7302 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7303 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7304 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7305 [Bodo Moeller]
7306
7307 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7308 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7309 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7310 happening the other way round.
7311 [Geoff Thorpe]
7312
7313 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7314 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7315 [Bodo Moeller]
7316
7317 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7318 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7319 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7320 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7321 [Richard Levitte]
7322
7323 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7324 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7325
7326 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7327
7328 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7329 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7330 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7331 that.
7332
7333 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7334
7335 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7336
7337 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7338 static ones.
7339 [Richard Levitte]
7340
7341 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7342
7343 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7344 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7345 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7346 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7347 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7348
7349 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7350 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7351 matter what.
7352 [Richard Levitte]
7353
7354 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7355 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7356
7357 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7358
7359 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7360 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7361 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7362 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7363 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7364 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7365 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7366 by the Finished messages.
7367 [Bodo Moeller]
7368
7369 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7370 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7371
7372 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7373 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7374 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7375 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7376 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7377 appropriately.
7378 [Steve Henson]
7379
7380 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7381 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7382 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7383 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7384 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7385 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7386 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7387 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7388 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7389 together.
7390 [Steve Henson]
7391
7392 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7393 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7394 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7395 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7396
7397 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7398 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7399 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7400 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7401 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7402 the answer.
7403
7404 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7405 been tested well enough.
7406 [Richard Levitte]
7407
7408 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7409 it can return incorrect results.
7410 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7411 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7412 [Bodo Moeller]
7413
7414 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7415 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7416 include zero length content when signing messages.
7417 [Steve Henson]
7418
7419 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7420 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7421 [Bodo Möller]
7422
7423 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7424 [Richard Levitte]
7425
7426 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7427 wrong sign.
7428 [Ulf Möller]
7429
7430 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7431 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7432 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7433 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7434 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7435 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7436 [Richard Levitte]
7437
7438 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7439 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7440
7441 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7442 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7443
7444 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7445 random number < q in the DSA library.
7446 [Ulf Möller]
7447
7448 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7449 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7450 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7451 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7452 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7453 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7454 just makes things more complicated.)
7455 [Bodo Moeller]
7456
7457 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7458 from EGD.
7459 [Ben Laurie]
7460
7461 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7462 work better on such systems.
7463 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7464
7465 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7466 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7467 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7468 [Steve Henson]
7469
7470 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7471 if there was more than one signature.
7472 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7473
7474 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7475 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7476 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7477 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7478 [Richard Levitte]
7479
7480 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7481 rather than always using the current time.
7482 [Steve Henson]
7483
7484 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7485 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7486 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7487 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7488 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7489 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7490
7491 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7492 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7493
7494 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7495
7496 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7497 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7498 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7499 the same hash value.
7500
7501 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7502 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7503 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7504 with X509_STORE internally.
7505
7506 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7507 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7508
7509 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7510 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7511 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7512 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7513 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7514 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7515 entirely (maybe later...).
7516
7517 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7518
7519 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7520 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7521 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7522 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7523 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7524 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7525 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7526 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7527
7528 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7529 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7530
7531 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7532 to customise the verify behaviour.
7533 [Steve Henson]
7534
7535 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7536 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7537 [Steve Henson]
7538
7539 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7540 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7541 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7542 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7543 request is improperly encoded.
7544 [Steve Henson]
7545
7546 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7547 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7548 BIO_write(b, ...).
7549
7550 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7551 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7552
7553 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7554 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7555 words set to zero.)
7556 [Bodo Moeller]
7557
7558 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7559 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7560 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7561 [Bodo Moeller]
7562
7563 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7564 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7565 BIO/fp routines also added.
7566 [Steve Henson]
7567
7568 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7569 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7570
7571 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7572 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7573 demos/state_machine.
7574 [Ben Laurie]
7575
7576 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7577 generation and verification.
7578 [Steve Henson]
7579
7580 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7581 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7582 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7583 encode and decode it manually.
7584 [Steve Henson]
7585
7586 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7587 compile under VC++.
7588 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7589
7590 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7591 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7592 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7593 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7594
7595 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7596 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7597 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7598 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7599 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7600 [Steve Henson]
7601
7602 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7603 [Richard Levitte]
7604
7605 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7606 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7607 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7608
7609 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7610 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7611 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7612 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7613 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7614 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7615 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7616 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7617
7618 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7619 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7620
7621 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7622
7623 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7624 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7625 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7626
7627 [Richard Levitte]
7628
7629 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7630 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7631 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7632 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7633 [Richard Levitte]
7634
7635 *) MD4 implemented.
7636 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7637
7638 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7639 [Richard Levitte]
7640
7641 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7642 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7643 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7644 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7645 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7646 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7647 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7648 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7649 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7650 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7651 short or long names are found.
7652 [Steve Henson]
7653
7654 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7655 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7656
7657 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7658 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7659 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7660 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7661
7662 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7663 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7664 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7665 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7666 [Bodo Moeller]
7667
7668 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7669 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7670 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7671 [Richard Levitte]
7672
7673 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7674 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7675 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7676 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7677 to allow the various flags to be set.
7678 [Steve Henson]
7679
7680 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7681 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7682 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7683 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7684 dates to be checked.
7685 [Steve Henson]
7686
7687 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7688 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7689 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7690 [Steve Henson]
7691
7692 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7693 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7694 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7695 [Steve Henson]
7696
7697 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7698 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7699 [Bodo Moeller]
7700
7701 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7702 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7703 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7704 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7705 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7706 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7707 [Richard Levitte]
7708
7709 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7710 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7711 Random Numbers.
7712 [Ulf Möller]
7713
7714 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7715 DSA key.
7716 [Steve Henson]
7717
7718 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7719 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7720 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7721 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7722 form signing output easier to verify.
7723 [Steve Henson]
7724
7725 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7726 [Steve Henson]
7727
7728 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7729 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7730 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7731 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7732 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7733 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7734 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7735 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7736 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7737 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7738 [Steve Henson]
7739
7740 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7741
7742 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7743 the syntax given in objects.README.
7744 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7745 obj_mac.h.
7746 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7747 obj_mac.h.
7748
7749 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7750 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7751 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7752 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7753 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7754 consistent name changes.
7755 [Richard Levitte]
7756
7757 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7758 [Bodo Moeller]
7759
7760 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7761 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7762 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7763 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7764 [Richard Levitte]
7765
7766 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7767 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7768 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7769 of safestack.h .
7770 [Steve Henson]
7771
7772 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7773 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7774 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7775 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7776 [Steve Henson]
7777
7778 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7779 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7780 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7781 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7782 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7783 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7784 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7785 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7786 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7787 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7788 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7789 [Steve Henson]
7790
7791 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7792 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7793 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7794 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7795 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7796 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7797 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7798 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7799 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7800 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7801 [Steve Henson]
7802
7803 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7804 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7805 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7806 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7807
7808 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7809 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7810 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7811 omit any duplicate addresses.
7812 [Steve Henson]
7813
7814 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7815 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7816 [Bodo Moeller]
7817
7818 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7819 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7820 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7821 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7822 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7823 [Bodo Moeller]
7824
7825 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7826 software:
7827 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7828 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7829 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7830 Free => OPENSSL_free
7831 [Richard Levitte]
7832
7833 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7834 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7835 [Bodo Moeller]
7836
7837 *) CygWin32 support.
7838 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7839
7840 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7841 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7842 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7843 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7844 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7845 approach.
7846 [Geoff Thorpe]
7847
7848 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7849 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7850 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7851 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7852 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7853 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7854 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7855 [Geoff Thorpe]
7856
7857 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7858 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7859 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7860 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7861 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7862 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7863 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7864 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7865 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7866 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7867 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7868 [Bodo Moeller]
7869
7870 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7871 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7872 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7873 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7874 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7875
7876 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7877 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7878 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7879 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7880 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7881
7882 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7883 ciphers.
7884
7885 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7886 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7887 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7888 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7889
7890 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7891
7892 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7893 of macros.
7894
7895 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7896 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7897 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7898 flags.
7899
7900 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7901 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7902 any installed hardware versions can.
7903 [Steve Henson]
7904
7905 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7906 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7907 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7908 number.
7909 [Bodo Moeller]
7910
7911 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7912 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7913 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7914 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7915 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7916
7917 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7918 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7919 [Steve Henson]
7920
7921 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7922 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7923 [Richard Levitte]
7924
7925 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7926 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7927 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7928 features.
7929 [Steve Henson]
7930
7931 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7932 [Ulf Möller]
7933
7934 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7935 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7936 but no ssl client purpose.
7937 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7938
7939 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7940 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7941 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7942 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7943 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7944 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7945 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7946 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7947 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7948 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7949 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7950 [Steve Henson]
7951
7952 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7953 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7954 be obtained from the error queue.
7955 [Bodo Moeller]
7956
7957 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7958 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7959 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7960 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7961 [Bodo Moeller]
7962
7963 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7964 [Ulf Möller]
7965
7966 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7967 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7968 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7969 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7970 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7971 [Geoff Thorpe]
7972
7973 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7974 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7975 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7976 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7977 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7978 [Geoff Thorpe]
7979
7980 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7981 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7982 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7983 may not be NULL.
7984 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7985
7986 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7987 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7988 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7989 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7990 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7991 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7992 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7993 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7994 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7995 or "the configuration storage API"...
7996
7997 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7998
7999 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8000 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8001
8002 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8003
8004 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8005
8006 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8007 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8008 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8009 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8010 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8011 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8012 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8013
8014 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8015 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8016 [Richard Levitte]
8017
8018 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8019 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8020 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8021 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8022 [Bodo Moeller]
8023
8024 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8025 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8026 them in a portable way.
8027 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8028
8029 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8030
8031 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8032
8033 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8034 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8035
8036 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8037 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8038 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8039 <attili@amaxo.com>]
8040
8041 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8042 was larger than the MD block size.
8043 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8044
8045 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8046 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8047 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8048 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8049 components.
8050 [Steve Henson]
8051
8052 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8053 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8054 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8055
8056 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8057 discouraged.
8058 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8059
8060 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8061 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8062 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8063 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8064 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8065 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8066
8067 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8068 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8069
8070 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8071 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8072 [Bodo Moeller]
8073
8074 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8075 [Bodo Moeller]
8076
8077 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8078 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8079 its own key.
8080 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8081 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8082 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
8083 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8084 [Bodo Moeller]
8085
8086 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8087 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8088 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8089 does not suppress any output.
8090 [Richard Levitte]
8091
8092 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8093 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8094 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8095 with all the associated security issues.
8096
8097 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8098 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8099 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8100 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8101 use the value in the default purpose.
8102 [Steve Henson]
8103
8104 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8105 and fix a memory leak.
8106 [Steve Henson]
8107
8108 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8109 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8110 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8111 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8112 [Bodo Moeller]
8113
8114 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8115 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8116 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8117 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8118 [Bodo Moeller]
8119
8120 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8121 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8122 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8123 [Bodo Moeller]
8124
8125 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8126 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8127 [Bodo Moeller]
8128
8129 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8130 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8131 which was free.
8132 [Steve Henson]
8133
8134 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8135 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8136 [Bodo Moeller]
8137
8138 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8139 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8140 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8141 [Bodo Moeller]
8142
8143 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8144 number generation fails.
8145 [Bodo Moeller]
8146
8147 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8148 [Bodo Moeller]
8149
8150 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8151 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8152
8153 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8154 [Ulf Möller]
8155
8156 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8157 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8158
8159 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8160 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8161
8162 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8163
8164 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8165 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8166 [Steve Henson]
8167
8168 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8169 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8170
8171 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8172 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8173 [Ulf Möller]
8174
8175 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8176 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8177 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8178 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8179 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8180 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8181
8182 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8183 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8184 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8185 for example.
8186 [Steve Henson]
8187
8188 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8189 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8190 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8191 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8192 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8193 counter, some don't.)
8194 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8195 counters or duplicate objects.
8196 [Steve Henson]
8197
8198 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8199 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8200 [Steve Henson]
8201
8202 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8203 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8204 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8205
8206 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8207 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8208 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8209 or -rand.
8210 [Ulf Möller]
8211
8212 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8213 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8214 [Steve Henson]
8215
8216 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8217 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8218 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8219 cipher list.
8220 [Steve Henson]
8221
8222 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8223 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8224 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8225 [Steve Henson]
8226
8227 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8228 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8229 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8230 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8231 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8232 should work without changes.
8233 [Richard Levitte]
8234
8235 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8236 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8237 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8238 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8239 must be defined. E.g.,
8240 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8241 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8242 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8243 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8244
8245 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8246 record layer.
8247 [Bodo Moeller]
8248
8249 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8250 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8251 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8252 [Steve Henson]
8253
8254 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8255 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8256 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8257 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8258 [Steve Henson]
8259
8260 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8261 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8262 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8263 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8264 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8265 is prompted for as usual.
8266 [Steve Henson]
8267
8268 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8269 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8270 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8271 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8272
8273 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8274 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8275 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8276 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8277 [Steve Henson]
8278
8279 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8280 [Andy Polyakov]
8281
8282 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8283 of seed file.
8284 [Steve Henson]
8285
8286 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8287 [Bodo Moeller]
8288
8289 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8290 [Steve Henson]
8291
8292 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8293 bits.
8294 [Ulf Möller]
8295
8296 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8297 [Ulf Möller]
8298
8299 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8300 [Andy Polyakov]
8301
8302 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8303 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8304 [Ulf Möller]
8305
8306 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8307 options to produce them.
8308 [Steve Henson]
8309
8310 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8311 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8312 [Ulf Möller]
8313
8314 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8315 for p == 0.
8316 [Ulf Möller]
8317
8318 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8319 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8320 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8321 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8322 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8323 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8324 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8325 [Steve Henson]
8326
8327 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8328 [Steve Henson]
8329
8330 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8331 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8332 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8333 [Bodo Moeller]
8334
8335 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8336 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8337
8338 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8339 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8340 [Ulf Möller]
8341
8342 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8343 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8344 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8345 has already seen).
8346 [Bodo Moeller]
8347
8348 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8349 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8350
8351 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8352 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8353 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8354 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8355 generation becomes much faster.
8356
8357 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8358 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8359 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8360 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8361 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8362 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8363 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8364 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8365 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8366 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8367 [Bodo Moeller]
8368
8369 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8370 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8371 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8372 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8373 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8374 trial division stage.
8375 [Bodo Moeller]
8376
8377 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8378 as ASN1_TIME.
8379 [Steve Henson]
8380
8381 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8382 [Steve Henson]
8383
8384 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8385 [Ulf Möller]
8386
8387 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8388 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8389 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8390 the comments.
8391 [Ulf Möller]
8392
8393 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8394 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8395 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8396 [Bodo Moeller]
8397
8398 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8399 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8400 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8401 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8402
8403 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8404 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8405 [Steve Henson]
8406
8407 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8408 [Ulf Möller]
8409
8410 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8411 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8412 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8413 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8414 [Ulf Möller]
8415
8416 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8417 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8418 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8419 [Ulf Möller]
8420
8421 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8422 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8423 (instead of parameters) in future.
8424 [Steve Henson]
8425
8426 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8427 when a new cipher list is set.
8428 [Steve Henson]
8429
8430 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8431 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8432 wrong.
8433
8434 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8435 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8436 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8437
8438 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8439 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8440 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8441 an error is flagged.
8442
8443 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8444 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8445 the readability was also increased :-)
8446 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8447
8448 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8449 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8450 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8451 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8452 as the root CA.
8453 [Steve Henson]
8454
8455 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8456 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8457 [Steve Henson]
8458
8459 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8460 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8461 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8462 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8463 instead.
8464
8465 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8466 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8467 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8468 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8469 because they handle more complex structures.)
8470 [Steve Henson]
8471
8472 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8473 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8474 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8475 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8476
8477 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8478 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8479 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8480 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8481 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8482 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8483 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8484 [Ulf Möller]
8485
8486 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8487 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8488 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8489 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8490 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8491 [Bodo Moeller]
8492
8493 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8494 [Bodo Moeller]
8495
8496 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8497 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8498 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8499 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8500 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8501 to use this.
8502
8503 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8504 code.
8505 [Steve Henson]
8506
8507 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8508 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8509 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8510 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8511 [Steve Henson]
8512
8513 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8514 [Ulf Möller]
8515
8516 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8517 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8518 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8519 international characters are used.
8520
8521 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8522 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8523 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8524 in ASN1 order.
8525 [Steve Henson]
8526
8527 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8528 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8529 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8530 request.
8531
8532 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8533 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8534 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8535 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8536 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8537 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8538
8539 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8540 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8541 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8542 be handled by the string table functions.
8543
8544 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8545 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8546 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8547 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8548 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8549 types at all.
8550 [Steve Henson]
8551
8552 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8553 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8554 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8555 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8556 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8557
8558 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8559 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8560 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8561 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8562 [Bodo Moeller]
8563
8564 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8565 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8566 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8567 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8568 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8569 SHA1.
8570 [Andy Polyakov]
8571
8572 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8573 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8574 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8575 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8576 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8577 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8578 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8579 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8580
8581 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8582 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8583 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8584 [Steve Henson]
8585
8586 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8587 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8588 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8589 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8590 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8591 support to pkcs8 application.
8592 [Steve Henson]
8593
8594 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8595 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8596 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8597 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8598 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8599 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8600 [Bodo Moeller]
8601
8602 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8603 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8604 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8605 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8606 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8607 consistency.
8608 [Bodo Moeller]
8609
8610 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8611 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8612 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8613 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8614 example.
8615 [Steve Henson]
8616
8617 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8618 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8619 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8620 and any application specific purposes.
8621
8622 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8623 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8624 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8625 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8626 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8627 if the certificate is self signed.
8628 [Steve Henson]
8629
8630 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8631 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8632 [Steve Henson]
8633
8634 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8635 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8636 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8637 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8638 [Steve Henson]
8639
8640 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8641 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8642 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8643 Update documentation.
8644 [Steve Henson]
8645
8646 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8647 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8648 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8649 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8650 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8651 [Steve Henson]
8652
8653 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8654 for details.
8655 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8656
8657 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8658 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8659 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8660 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8661 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8662 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8663 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8664 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8665 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8666 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8667
8668 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8669
8670 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8671 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8672 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8673 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8674 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8675
8676 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8677 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8678 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8679 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8680 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8681 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8682 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8683 request additional information:
8684 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8685 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8686
8687 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8688 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8689 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8690 options.
8691
8692 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8693 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8694
8695 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
8696 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8697 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
8698
8699 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8700 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8701
8702 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8703 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8704 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8705 algorithm.
8706 [Steve Henson]
8707
8708 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8709 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8710 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8711
8712 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8713 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8714 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8715 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8716 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8717 included in OpenSSL.
8718 [Steve Henson]
8719
8720 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8721 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8722 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8723 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8724 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8725 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8726 [Bodo Moeller]
8727
8728 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8729 PKCS12 structure.
8730 [Steve Henson]
8731
8732 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8733 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8734 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8735 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8736 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8737 structure.
8738 [Steve Henson]
8739
8740 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8741 need initialising.
8742 [Steve Henson]
8743
8744 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8745 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8746 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8747 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8748 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8749 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8750 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8751 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8752 be maintained manually.
8753
8754 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8755 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8756 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8757 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8758 work because people forget to call this function]
8759 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8760 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8761 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8762 [Steve Henson]
8763
8764 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8765 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8766 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8767 should be discouraged from doing it.
8768 [Ben Laurie]
8769
8770 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8771 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8772 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8773 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8774 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8775 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8776 [Steve Henson]
8777
8778 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8779 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8780 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8781
8782 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8783 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8784 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8785
8786 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8787 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8788 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8789 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8790 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8791 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8792
8793 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8794 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8795 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8796
8797 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8798 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8799 and vice versa.
8800
8801 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8802 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8803 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8804 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8805 [Steve Henson]
8806
8807 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8808 [Steve Henson]
8809
8810 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8811 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8812 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8813 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8814 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8815 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8816 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8817 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8818 keys so we should be OK.
8819
8820 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8821 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8822 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8823 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8824 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8825 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8826 stay in the name of compatibility.
8827
8828 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8829 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8830 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8831
8832 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8833 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8834 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8835 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8836 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8837 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8838 supplied key).
8839 [Steve Henson]
8840
8841 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8842 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8843 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8844 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8845 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8846 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8847 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8848 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8849 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8850 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8851 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8852 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8853 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8854 [Steve Henson]
8855
8856 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8857 [Steve Henson]
8858
8859 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8860 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8861 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8862 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8863 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8864 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8865 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8866 openssl verify ss.pem
8867 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8868 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8869 is OK.
8870 [Steve Henson]
8871
8872 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8873 (and add it to external session representation).
8874 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8875 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8876 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8877 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8878 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8879 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8880 security holes.
8881 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8882
8883 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8884 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8885 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8886 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8887
8888 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8889 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8890 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8891 [Steve Henson]
8892
8893 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8894 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8895 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8896 code.
8897 [Steve Henson]
8898
8899 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8900 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8901 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8902
8903 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8904 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8905 certificate auxiliary information.
8906 [Steve Henson]
8907
8908 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8909 the 'enc' command.
8910 [Steve Henson]
8911
8912 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8913 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8914 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8915 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8916 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8917 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8918 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8919 [Richard Levitte]
8920
8921 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8922 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8923 [Steve Henson]
8924
8925 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8926 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8927 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8928 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8929 [Steve Henson]
8930
8931 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8932 [Steve Henson]
8933
8934 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8935 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8936 [Steve Henson]
8937
8938 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8939 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8940 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8941 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8942 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8943 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8944 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8945 using the new 'x509' options.
8946
8947 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8948 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8949 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8950 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8951 for all purposes.
8952 [Steve Henson]
8953
8954 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8955 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8956 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8957 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8958 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8959 [Mark Cox]
8960
8961 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8962 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8963 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8964 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8965 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8966 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8967 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8968 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8969 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8970 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8971 [Steve Henson]
8972
8973 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8974 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8975 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8976 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8977 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8978 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8979 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8980 [Steve Henson]
8981
8982 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8983 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8984 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8985 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8986 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8987 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8988 openssl.cnf for more info.
8989 [Steve Henson]
8990
8991 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8992 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8993 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8994 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8995 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8996 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8997 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8998 md should be large enough anyway.
8999 [Bodo Moeller]
9000
9001 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9002 for handling the random seed file.
9003
9004 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9005 ca,
9006 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9007 s_client,
9008 s_server,
9009 x509 (when signing).
9010 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9011 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9012 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9013
9014 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9015 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9016 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9017 that support '-rand'.
9018 [Bodo Moeller]
9019
9020 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9021 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9022 [Bodo Moeller]
9023
9024 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9025 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9026 [Bill Perry]
9027
9028 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9029 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9030 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9031 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9032 is suitable.
9033 [Steve Henson]
9034
9035 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9036 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9037 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9038 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9039 [Steve Henson]
9040
9041 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9042 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9043 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9044 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9045 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9046 print out all the purposes.
9047 [Steve Henson]
9048
9049 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9050 functions.
9051 [Steve Henson]
9052
9053 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9054 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9055 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9056 single function call.
9057 [Steve Henson]
9058
9059 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9060 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9061 [Andy Polyakov]
9062
9063 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9064 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9065 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9066 [Steve Henson]
9067
9068 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9069 when producing the local key id.
9070 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9071
9072 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9073 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9074 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9075 "server.pem".
9076 [Steve Henson]
9077
9078 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9079 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9080 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9081 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9082 [Steve Henson]
9083
9084 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9085 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9086 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9087 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9088
9089 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9090 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9091 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9092 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9093
9094 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9095 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9096 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9097 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9098 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9099 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9100 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9101 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9102 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9103 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9104 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9105 trivial: move one line.
9106 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9107
9108 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9109 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9110 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9111 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9112 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9113 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9114 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9115 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9116 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9117 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9118 with an event loop for example.
9119 [Steve Henson]
9120
9121 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9122 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9123 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9124 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9125 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9126 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9127 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9128 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9129 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9130 [Steve Henson]
9131
9132 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9133 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9134 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9135 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9136 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9137 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9138 [Steve Henson]
9139
9140 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9141 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9142 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9143 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9144
9145 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9146 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9147 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9148 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9149 key generation.
9150 [Steve Henson]
9151
9152 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9153 (still largely untested)
9154 [Bodo Moeller]
9155
9156 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9157 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9158 [Steve Henson]
9159
9160 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9161 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9162 [Steve Henson]
9163
9164 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9165 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9166 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9167 [Bodo Moeller]
9168
9169 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9170 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9171 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9172 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9173 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9174 [Steve Henson]
9175
9176 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9177 [Andy Polyakov]
9178
9179 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9180 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9181 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9182 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9183 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9184 in ca.
9185 [Steve Henson]
9186
9187 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9188 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9189 1.OU="Unit name 1"
9190 2.OU="Unit name 2"
9191 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9192 [Steve Henson]
9193
9194 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9195 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9196 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9197 are otherwise ignored at present.
9198 [Steve Henson]
9199
9200 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9201 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9202 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9203 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9204 copied until the next read.
9205 [Steve Henson]
9206
9207 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9208 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9209 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9210 [Steve Henson]
9211
9212 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9213 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9214 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9215 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9216 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9217 associated functions.
9218 [Steve Henson]
9219
9220 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9221 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9222 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9223 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9224 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9225 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9226 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9227 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9228 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9229 memory BIOs.
9230 [Steve Henson]
9231
9232 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9233 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9234 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9235 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9236 [Bodo Moeller]
9237
9238 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9239 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9240 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9241 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9242 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9243 functionality.
9244 [Steve Henson]
9245
9246 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9247 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9248 under Win32.
9249 [Steve Henson]
9250
9251 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9252 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9253 extensions to be obtained and added.
9254 [Steve Henson]
9255
9256 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9257 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9258 [Bodo Moeller]
9259
9260 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9261
9262 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9263 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9264
9265 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9266 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9267
9268 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9269 program.
9270 [Steve Henson]
9271
9272 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9273 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9274 DH parameters contain its length).
9275
9276 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9277 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9278 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9279 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9280 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9281 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9282 utter importance to use
9283 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9284 or
9285 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9286 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9287 attacks may become possible!
9288 [Bodo Moeller]
9289
9290 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9291 [Bodo Moeller]
9292
9293 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9294 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9295 [Steve Henson]
9296
9297 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9298 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9299 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9300 or long name.
9301 [Steve Henson]
9302
9303 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9304 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9305 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9306 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9307 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9308 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9309 private key operations.
9310 [Steve Henson]
9311
9312 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9313 [Andy Polyakov]
9314
9315 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9316 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9317 to
9318 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9319 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9320 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9321 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9322 the password callback is called.
9323 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9324
9325 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9326
9327 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9328 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9329 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9330 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9331 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9332 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9333 this will work.
9334
9335 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9336 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9337 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9338 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9339 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9340 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9341 [Bodo Moeller]
9342
9343 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9344 [Andy Polyakov]
9345
9346 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9347 delete an unused file.
9348 [Ulf Möller]
9349
9350 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9351 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9352 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9353 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9354 [Steve Henson]
9355
9356 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9357 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9358 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9359 of an error.
9360 [Bodo Moeller]
9361
9362 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9363 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9364 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9365
9366 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9367 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9368 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9369 comparison" warnings.
9370 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9371 [Steve Henson]
9372
9373 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9374 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9375 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9376 [Steve Henson]
9377
9378 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9379 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9380
9381 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9382 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9383
9384 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9385 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9386 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9387
9388 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9389 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9390 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9391 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9392 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9393 this bug.
9394 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9395
9396 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9397 The interface is as follows:
9398 Applications can use
9399 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9400 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9401 "off" is now the default.
9402 The library internally uses
9403 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9404 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9405 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9406
9407 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9408 even the default) are now avoided.
9409
9410 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9411 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9412 than just having a counter.
9413
9414 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9415
9416 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9417 extensions.
9418 [Bodo Moeller]
9419
9420 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9421 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9422 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9423 Initial "mode" flags are:
9424
9425 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9426 a single record has been written.
9427 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9428 retries use the same buffer location.
9429 (But all of the contents must be
9430 copied!)
9431 [Bodo Moeller]
9432
9433 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9434 worked.
9435
9436 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9437 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9438
9439 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9440 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9441 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9442 [Steve Henson]
9443
9444 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9445 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9446 test programs.
9447 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9448
9449 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9450 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9451 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9452 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9453 point to the end.
9454 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9455 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9456
9457 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9458 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9459 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9460 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9461 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9462 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9463 [Steve Henson]
9464
9465 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9466 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9467 necessary function names.
9468 [Steve Henson]
9469
9470 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9471 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9472 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9473 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9474 [Bodo Moeller]
9475
9476 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9477 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9478 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9479 [Steve Henson]
9480
9481 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9482 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9483 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9484 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9485 such programs?)
9486 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9487 need locks.
9488 [Bodo Moeller]
9489
9490 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9491 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9492 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9493 [Bodo Moeller]
9494
9495 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9496 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9497 appropriate.
9498 [Bodo Moeller]
9499
9500 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9501 for the encoded length.
9502 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9503
9504 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9505 [Steve Henson]
9506
9507 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9508 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9509 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9510 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9511 [Steve Henson]
9512
9513 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9514 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9515 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9516
9517 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9518 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9519 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9520 unusual formatting.
9521 [Steve Henson]
9522
9523 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9524 to use the new extension code.
9525 [Steve Henson]
9526
9527 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9528 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9529 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9530 constant.
9531 [Steve Henson]
9532
9533 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9534 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9535 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9536 [Bodo Moeller]
9537
9538 #if 0
9539 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9540 [Ben Laurie]
9541 #else
9542 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9543 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9544 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9545 #endif
9546
9547 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9548 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9549 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9550 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9551 [Ben Laurie]
9552
9553 *) DES library cleanups.
9554 [Ulf Möller]
9555
9556 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9557 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9558 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9559 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9560 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9561 of v2.0.
9562 [Steve Henson]
9563
9564 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9565 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9566 [Bodo Moeller]
9567
9568 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9569 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9570 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9571 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9572 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9573 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9574 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9575 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9576 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9577 [Steve Henson]
9578
9579 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9580 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9581 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9582 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9583 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9584 value doesn't matter.
9585 [Steve Henson]
9586
9587 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9588 support mutable.
9589 [Ben Laurie]
9590
9591 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9592 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9593 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9594 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9595
9596 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9597 [Ulf Möller]
9598
9599 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9600 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9601 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9602
9603 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9604 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9605
9606 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9607 [Ben Laurie]
9608
9609 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9610 [Ben Laurie]
9611
9612 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9613 [Ben Laurie]
9614
9615 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9616 [Bodo Moeller]
9617
9618
9619 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9620
9621 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9622
9623 *) Updated some demos.
9624 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9625
9626 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9627 [Wu Zhigang]
9628
9629 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9630 [Steve Henson]
9631
9632 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9633 [Steve Henson]
9634
9635 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9636 instead of using a fixed path.
9637 [Bodo Moeller]
9638
9639 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9640 [Andy Polyakov]
9641
9642 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9643 [Richard Levitte]
9644
9645
9646 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9647
9648 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9649 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9650 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9651
9652 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9653 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9654 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9655 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9656 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9657 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9658 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9659 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9660 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9661 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9662 [Steve Henson]
9663
9664 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9665 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9666 [Steve Henson]
9667
9668 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9669 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9670 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9671 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9672 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9673
9674 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9675 [Bodo Moeller]
9676
9677 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9678 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9679 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9680 [Steve Henson]
9681
9682 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9683 [Ben Laurie]
9684
9685 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9686 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9687 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9688 key elements as negative integers.
9689 [Steve Henson]
9690
9691 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9692 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9693
9694 *) VMS support.
9695 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9696
9697 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9698 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9699 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9700 [Steve Henson]
9701
9702 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9703 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9704 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9705 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9706 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9707 [Bodo Moeller]
9708
9709 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9710 [Ulf Möller]
9711
9712 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9713 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9714 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9715 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9716
9717 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9718 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9719 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9720
9721 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9722 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9723 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9724 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9725 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9726 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9727 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9728 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9729 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9730
9731 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9732 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9733 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9734 does not influence s as it used to.
9735
9736 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9737 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9738 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9739 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9740 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9741 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9742 [Bodo Moeller]
9743
9744 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9745 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9746 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9747 key type.
9748 [Steve Henson]
9749
9750 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9751 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9752 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9753 and 'x509').
9754 [Steve Henson]
9755
9756 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9757 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9758 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9759 extension option.
9760 [Steve Henson]
9761
9762 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9763 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9764 [Ben Laurie]
9765
9766 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9767 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9768
9769 *) Support Mingw32.
9770 [Ulf Möller]
9771
9772 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9773 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9774
9775 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9776 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9777
9778 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9779 [Ulf Möller]
9780
9781 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9782 [Anonymous]
9783
9784 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9785 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9786
9787 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9788 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9789 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9790 DER-encoded.)
9791 [Bodo Moeller]
9792
9793 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9794 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9795 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9796 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9797 now it really counts the depth.
9798 [Bodo Moeller]
9799
9800 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9801 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9802 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9803 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9804 didn't match the private key).
9805
9806 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9807 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9808 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9809 [Bodo Moeller]
9810
9811 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9812 [Ulf Möller]
9813
9814 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9815 David Harris.
9816 [Bodo Moeller]
9817
9818 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9819 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9820 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9821 [Bodo Moeller]
9822
9823 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9824 [Bodo Moeller]
9825
9826 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9827 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9828 such as /usr/local/bin.
9829 [Bodo Moeller]
9830
9831 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9832 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9833
9834 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9835 [Ulf Möller]
9836
9837 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9838 extension adding in x509 utility.
9839 [Steve Henson]
9840
9841 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9842 [Ulf Möller]
9843
9844 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9845 prototypes.
9846 [Steve Henson]
9847
9848 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9849 [Ulf Möller]
9850
9851 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9852 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9853 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9854 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9855 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9856 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9857 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9858 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9859 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9860 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9861 [Steve Henson]
9862
9863 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9864 [Bodo Moeller]
9865
9866 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9867 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9868 [Bodo Moeller]
9869
9870 *) Fix some race conditions.
9871 [Bodo Moeller]
9872
9873 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9874 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9875 [Steve Henson]
9876
9877 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9878 [Ulf Möller]
9879
9880 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9881 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9882 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9883 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9884
9885 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9886 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9887
9888 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9889 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9890 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9891
9892 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9893 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9894
9895 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9896 [Ulf Möller]
9897
9898 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9899 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9900
9901 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9902 [Ulf Möller]
9903
9904 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9905 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9906
9907 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9908 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9909 [Steve Henson]
9910
9911 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9912 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9913 [Ben Laurie]
9914
9915 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9916 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9917 [Steve Henson]
9918
9919 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9920 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9921 [Steve Henson]
9922
9923 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9924 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9925 [Steve Henson]
9926
9927 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9928 support typesafe stack.
9929 [Steve Henson]
9930
9931 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9932 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9933
9934 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9935 old X509V3 handling code.
9936 [Steve Henson]
9937
9938 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9939 [Ulf Möller]
9940
9941 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9942 [Bodo Moeller]
9943
9944 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9945 [Ben Laurie]
9946
9947 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9948 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9949
9950 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9951 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9952 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9953 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9954 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9955 [Ben Laurie]
9956
9957 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9958 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9959 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9960 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9961 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9962
9963 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9964 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9965 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9966 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9967
9968 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9969 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9970 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9971 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9972
9973 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9974 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9975 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9976 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9977 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9978 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9979 [Bodo Moeller]
9980
9981 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9982 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9983 [Bodo Moeller]
9984
9985 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9986 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9987 [Ulf Möller]
9988
9989 *) Tweaks to Configure
9990 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9991
9992 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9993 yet...
9994 [Steve Henson]
9995
9996 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9997 [Ulf Möller]
9998
9999 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10000 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10001 [Ulf Möller]
10002
10003 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10004 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10005 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10006 [Bodo Moeller]
10007
10008 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10009 [Bodo Moeller]
10010
10011 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10012 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10013 [Steve Henson]
10014
10015 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10016 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10017 to library startup routines.
10018 [Steve Henson]
10019
10020 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10021 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10022 codes along the way.
10023 [Steve Henson]
10024
10025 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10026 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10027 objects to objects.h
10028 [Steve Henson]
10029
10030 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10031 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10032 [Steve Henson]
10033
10034 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10035 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10036
10037 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10038 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10039 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10040
10041 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10042 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10043 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10044
10045 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10046 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10047 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10048
10049
10050 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10051
10052 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10053 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10054 [Ben Laurie]
10055
10056 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10057 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10058 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10059 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10060 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10061
10062 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10063 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10064 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10065 document.
10066 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10067
10068 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10069 Malloc, Free.
10070 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10071
10072 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10073 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10074
10075 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10076 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10077 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10078 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10079
10080 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10081 [Ben Laurie]
10082
10083 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10084 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10085 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10086 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10087 [Steve Henson]
10088
10089 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10090 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10091 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10092 [Steve Henson]
10093
10094 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10095 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10096 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10097 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10098 installed as `perl').
10099 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10100
10101 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10102 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10103
10104 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10105 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
10106 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10107 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10108 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10109 [Steve Henson]
10110
10111 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10112 [Ben Laurie]
10113
10114 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10115 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10116 is horrible: I feel ill....
10117 [Steve Henson]
10118
10119 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10120 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10121 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10122 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10123 [Steve Henson]
10124
10125 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10126 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10127
10128 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10129 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10130 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10131 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10132
10133 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10134 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10135 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10136 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10137 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10138 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10139 openssl_bio.xs.
10140 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10141
10142 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10143 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10144
10145 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10146 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10147
10148 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10149 [Ben Laurie]
10150
10151 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10152 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10153 in CRLs.
10154 [Steve Henson]
10155
10156 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10157 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10158 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10159 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10160 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10161 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10162 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10163 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10164 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10165 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10166 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10167
10168 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10169 [Ben Laurie]
10170
10171 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10172 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10173 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10174 for linking it into DSOs.
10175 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10176
10177 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10178 Fixed.
10179 [Ben Laurie]
10180
10181 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10182 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10183 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10184 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10185 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10186 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10187
10188 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10189 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10190 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10191 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10192 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10193 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10194 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10195
10196 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10197 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10198 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10199 encryption.
10200 [Ben Laurie]
10201
10202 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10203 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10204 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10205 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10206 [Steve Henson]
10207
10208 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10209 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10210 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10211 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10212 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10213 field as blank.
10214 [Steve Henson]
10215
10216 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10217 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10218 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10219 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10220 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10221
10222 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10223 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10224 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10225
10226 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10227 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10228
10229 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10230 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10231 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10232 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10233 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10234 [Steve Henson]
10235
10236 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10237 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10238 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10239 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10240 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10241 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10242 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10243 [Ben Laurie]
10244
10245 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10246 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
10247 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10248 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10249 [Ben Laurie]
10250
10251 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10252 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10253
10254 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10255 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10256 [Steve Henson]
10257
10258 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10259 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10260 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10261 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10262 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10263 (e.g. s_server).
10264 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10265 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10266 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10267 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10268 no way to reconfigure them.
10269 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10270 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10271 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10272 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10273 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10274 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10275
10276 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10277 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10278 recognized by the users.
10279 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10280
10281 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10282 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10283 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10284 already masked variable.
10285 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10286
10287 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10288 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10289
10290 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10291 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10292 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10293 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10294
10295 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10296 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10297 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10298
10299 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10300 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10301 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10302 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10303 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10304 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10305 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10306 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10307 now, too.
10308 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10309
10310 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10311 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10312 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10313
10314 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10315 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10316 config file.
10317 [Steve Henson]
10318
10319 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10320 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10321
10322 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10323 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10324 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10325 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10326 [Ben Laurie]
10327
10328 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10329 [Steve Henson]
10330
10331 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10332 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10333
10334 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10335 [Ben Laurie]
10336
10337 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10338 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10339 [Steve Henson]
10340
10341 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10342 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10343 [Steve Henson]
10344
10345 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10346 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10347 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10348 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10349 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10350 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10351 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10352 Ben Laurie]
10353
10354 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10355 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10356
10357 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10358 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10359 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10360 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10361 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10362
10363 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10364 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10365 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10366 [Steve Henson]
10367
10368 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10369 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10370 an example.
10371 [Steve Henson]
10372
10373 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10374 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10375 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10376
10377 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10378 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10379 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10380 build instructions.
10381 [Steve Henson]
10382
10383 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10384 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10385 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10386 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10387 [Steve Henson]
10388
10389 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10390 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10391 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10392 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10393 [Ben Laurie]
10394
10395 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10396 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10397 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10398 so it wasn't spotted.
10399 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10400
10401 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10402 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10403 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10404 vectors if you have them.
10405 [Ben Laurie]
10406
10407 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10408 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10409 [Ben Laurie]
10410
10411 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10412 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10413 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10414 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10415 If you do a:
10416 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10417 it will update them.
10418 [Steve Henson]
10419
10420 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10421 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10422 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10423 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10424 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10425 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10426 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10427 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10428
10429 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10430 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10431 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10432 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10433 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10434 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10435 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10436 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10437 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10438 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10439
10440 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10441 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10442 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10443 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10444 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10445 [Steve Henson]
10446
10447 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10448 INTEGER code.
10449 [Steve Henson]
10450
10451 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10452 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10453
10454 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10455 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10456
10457 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10458 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10459 [Ben Laurie]
10460
10461 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10462 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10463
10464 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10465 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10466
10467 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10468 [Steve Henson]
10469
10470 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10471 few typos.
10472 [Steve Henson]
10473
10474 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10475 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10476 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10477 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10478
10479 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10480 [Steve Henson]
10481
10482 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10483 [Steve Henson]
10484
10485 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10486 [Steve Henson]
10487
10488 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10489 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10490 [Steve Henson]
10491
10492 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10493 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10494 CA extensions.
10495 [Steve Henson]
10496
10497 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10498 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10499 [Steve Henson]
10500
10501 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10502 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10503 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10504 [Steve Henson]
10505
10506 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10507 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10508 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10509 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10510 properly to be processed.
10511 [Steve Henson]
10512
10513 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10514 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10515 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10516 [Ben Laurie]
10517
10518 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10519 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10520
10521 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10522 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10523 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10524 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10525 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10526 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10527 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10528 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10529 or delete all the .err files.
10530 [Steve Henson]
10531
10532 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10533 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10534 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10535 to regenerate it if needed.
10536 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10537 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10538
10539 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10540 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10541
10542 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10543 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10544 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10545 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10546 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10547 [Steve Henson]
10548
10549 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10550 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10551
10552 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10553 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10554
10555 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10556 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10557 error, but didn't set one).
10558 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10559
10560 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10561 [Ben Laurie]
10562
10563 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10564 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10565 [Steve Henson]
10566
10567 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10568 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10569
10570 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10571 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10572 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10573 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10574 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10575 OID is not part of the table.
10576 [Steve Henson]
10577
10578 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10579 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10580 [Ben Laurie]
10581
10582 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10583 [Ben Laurie]
10584
10585 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10586 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10587 was "1234").
10588 [Steve Henson]
10589
10590 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10591 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10592
10593 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10594 NULL pointers.
10595 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10596
10597 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10598 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10599
10600 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10601 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10602
10603 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10604 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10605
10606 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10607 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10608 [Ben Laurie]
10609
10610 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10611 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10612 [Steve Henson]
10613
10614 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10615 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10616
10617 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10618 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10619
10620 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10621 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10622
10623 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10624 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10625
10626 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10627 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10628 unused in the certificate verification process.
10629 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10630
10631 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10632 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10633 [Steve Henson]
10634
10635 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10636 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10637 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10638
10639 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10640 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10641 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10642 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10643 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10644
10645 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10646 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10647 [Steve Henson]
10648
10649 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10650 [Steve Henson]
10651
10652 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10653 [Paul Sutton]
10654
10655 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10656 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10657
10658 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10659 [Ben Laurie]
10660
10661 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10662 [Ben Laurie]
10663
10664 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10665 [Ben Laurie]
10666
10667 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10668 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10669 other error libraries.
10670 [Steve Henson]
10671
10672 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10673 [Steve Henson]
10674
10675 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10676 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10677 be read in.
10678 [Steve Henson]
10679
10680 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10681 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10682 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10683 the new set of documenation files.
10684 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10685
10686 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10687 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10688 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10689 number of arguments.
10690 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10691
10692 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10693 [Ben Laurie]
10694
10695 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10696 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10697 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10698
10699 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10700 [Ben Laurie]
10701
10702 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10703 nextstep
10704 ncr-scde
10705 unixware-2.0
10706 unixware-2.0-pentium
10707 sco5-cc.
10708 [Ben Laurie]
10709
10710 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10711 before they are needed.
10712 [Ben Laurie]
10713
10714 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10715 [Ben Laurie]
10716
10717
10718 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10719
10720 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10721 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10722 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10723
10724 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10725 [Paul Sutton]
10726
10727 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10728 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10729 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10730
10731 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10732 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10733 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10734
10735 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10736 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10737 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10738
10739 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10740 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10741
10742 *) Updated the README file.
10743 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10744
10745 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10746 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10747 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10748
10749 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10750 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10751 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10752
10753 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10754 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10755 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10756 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10757 o removed obsolete TODO file
10758 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10759 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10760
10761 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10762 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10763 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10764 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10765 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10766 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10768
10769 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10770 [Mark J. Cox]
10771
10772 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10773 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10774 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10775 summer 1998.
10776 [The OpenSSL Project]

10783
10784 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10785 [Eric A. Young]
10786
10787 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10788 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10789 [Eric A. Young]
10790
10791 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10792 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10793 available).
10794 [Eric A. Young]
10795
10796 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10797 binary structures
10798 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10799
10800 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10801 [Eric A. Young]
10802
10803 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10804 [Eric A. Young]
10805
10806 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10807 [Eric A. Young]
10808
10809 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10810 [Eric A. Young]
10811
10812 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10813 [Eric A. Young]
10814
10815 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10816 [Eric A. Young]
10817
10818 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10819 [Eric A. Young]
10820
10821 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10822 [Eric A. Young]
10823
10824 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10825 [Eric A. Young]
10826
10827 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10828 [Eric A. Young]
10829
10830 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10831 [Eric A. Young]
10832
10833 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10834 [Eric A. Young]
10835
10836 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10837 [Eric A. Young]
10838
10839 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10840 [Eric A. Young]
10841
10842 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10843 [Eric A. Young]
10844
10845 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10846 [Eric A. Young]
10847
10848 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10849 [Eric A. Young]
10850
10851 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10852 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10853 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10854 [Eric A. Young]
10855
10856 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10857 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10858 [Eric A. Young]
10859
10860 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10861 [Eric A. Young]
10862
10863 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10864 [Eric A. Young]
10865
10866 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10867 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10868 [Eric A. Young]
10869
10870 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10871 [Eric A. Young]
10872
10873 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10874 [Eric A. Young]
10875

10877 bytes sent in the client random.
10878 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
10879
