10 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
13 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
14 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
15 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
16 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
17 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
18 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
19 [Richard Levitte]
20
21 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
22 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
23 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
24 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
25 [Richard Levitte]
26
27 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
28 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
29 error code calls like this:
30
31 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
32
33 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
34 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
35 affect new modules.
36 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
37
38 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
39 [Rich Salz]
40
41 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
42 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
43 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
44 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
45 [Richard Levitte]
46
47 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
48 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
49 than just the call where this user data is passed.
50 [Richard Levitte]
51
52 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
53 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
54 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
55
56 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
57 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
58 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
59 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
60 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
61 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
62 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
63 issues.
64 [Matt Caswell]
65
66 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
67 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
68 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
69 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
70 [Richard Levitte]
71
72 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
73 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
74 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
75
76 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
77 does for RSA, etc.
78 [Richard Levitte]
79
80 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
81 platform rather than 'mingw'.
82 [Richard Levitte]
83
84 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
85 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
86 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
87 certificates and CRLs.
88 [Paul Dale]
89
90 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
91 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
92 [Andy Polyakov]
93
94 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
95 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
96 [Richard Levitte]
97
98 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
99 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
100 which is the minimum version we support.
101 [Richard Levitte]
102
103 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
104 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
105 are no longer allowed.
106 [Emilia Käsper]
107
108 *) Add support for ARIA
109 [Paul Dale]
110
111 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
112 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
113 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
114 using "-servername".
115 [Matt Caswell]
116
117 *) Add support for SipHash
118 [Todd Short]
119
120 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
121 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
122 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
123 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
124 [Matt Caswell]
125
126 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
127 using the algorithm defined in
128 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
129 [Richard Levitte]
130
131 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
132 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
133
134 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
135 [Emilia Käsper]
136
137 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
138 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
139 [Rich Salz]
140
141 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
142
143 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
144 platform rather than 'mingw'.
145 [Richard Levitte]
146
147 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
148 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
149 which is the minimum version we support.
150 [Richard Levitte]
151
152 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
153
154 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
155
156 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
157 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
158 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
159 and servers are affected.
160
161 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
162 (CVE-2017-3733)
163 [Matt Caswell]
164
165 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
166
167 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
168
169 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
170 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
171 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
172
173 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
174 (CVE-2017-3731)
175 [Andy Polyakov]
176
177 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
178
179 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
180 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
181 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
182 of Service attack.
183
184 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
185 (CVE-2017-3730)
186 [Matt Caswell]
187
188 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
189
190 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
191 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
192 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
193 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
194 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
195 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
196 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
197 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
198 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
199 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
200 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
201 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
202 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
203
204 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
205 (CVE-2017-3732)
206 [Andy Polyakov]
207
208 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
209
210 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
211
212 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
213 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
214 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
215
216 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
217 (CVE-2016-7054)
218 [Richard Levitte]
219
220 *) CMS Null dereference
221
222 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
223 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
224 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
225 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
226 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
227 affected.
228
229 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
230 (CVE-2016-7053)
231 [Stephen Henson]
232
233 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
234
235 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
236 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
237 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
238 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
239 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
240 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
241 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
242 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
243 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
244 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
245 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
246 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
247 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
248 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
249
250 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
251 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
252 providing reproducible case.
253 (CVE-2016-7055)
254 [Andy Polyakov]
255
256 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
257 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
258 [Richard Levitte]
259
260 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
261
262 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
263
264 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
265 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
266 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
267 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
268 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
269 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
270
271 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
272
273 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
274 (CVE-2016-6309)
275 [Matt Caswell]
276
277 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
278
279 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
280
281 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
282 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
283 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
284 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
285 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
286 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
287 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
288
289 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
290 (CVE-2016-6304)
291 [Matt Caswell]
292
293 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
294
295 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
296 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
297 Denial Of Service attack.
298
299 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
300 (CVE-2016-6305)
301 [Matt Caswell]
302
303 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
304 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
305
306 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
307 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
308 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
309 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
310 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
311 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
312 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
313 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
314 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
315 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
316 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
317 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
318 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
319 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
320 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
321
322 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
323 that the connection fails
324 or
325 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
326 very little free memory
327 or
328 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
329 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
330 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
331 memory to service the multiple requests.
332
333 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
334 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
335 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
336 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
337 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
338
339 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
340 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
341 [Matt Caswell]
342
343 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
344 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
345 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
346 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
347 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
348 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
349 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
350 [Andy Polyakov]
351
352 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
353
354 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
355 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
356 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
357 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
358 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
359 non-ASCII password.
360 [Andy Polyakov]
361
362 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
363 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
364 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
365 [Rich Salz]
366
367 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
368 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
369 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
370 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
371 [Matt Caswell]
372
373 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
374 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
375 success.
376 [Matt Caswell]
377
378 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
379 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
380 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
381 no-ops and deprecated.
382 [Matt Caswell]
383
384 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
385 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
386 were also closed.
387 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
388
389 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
390 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
391 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
392 [Rich Salz]
393
394 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
395 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
396 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
397 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
398 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
399 and the validity of object reference counter.
400 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
401
402 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
403 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
404 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
405 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
406 [Richard Levitte]
407
408 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
409 [Richard Levitte]
410
411 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
412 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
413 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
414 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
415
416 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
417
418 [Richard Levitte]
419
420 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
421 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
422 [Steve Henson]
423
424 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
425 [Andy Polyakov]
426
427 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
428 [Rich Salz]
429
430 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
431 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
432 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
433 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
434 name and is used as is.
435 [Richard Levitte]
436
437 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
438 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
439 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
440 [Rich Salz]
441
442 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
443 the "no-shared" Configure option.
444 [Matt Caswell]
445
446 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
447 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
448 algorithms.
449 [Matt Caswell]
450
451 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
452 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
453 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
454 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
455 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
456 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
457 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
458 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
459 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
460 [Matt Caswell]
461
462 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
463 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
464 enabled with '--debug' builds.
465 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
466
467 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
468 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
469 these have been added.
470 [Matt Caswell]
471
472 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
473 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
474 functions for managing these have been added.
475 [Richard Levitte]
476
477 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
478 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
479 these have been added.
480 [Matt Caswell]
481
482 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
483 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
484 have been added.
485 [Matt Caswell]
486
487 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
488 [Matt Caswell]
489
490 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
491 [Richard Levitte]
492
493 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
494 it is always safe to #include a header now.
495 [Rich Salz]
496
497 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
498 [Richard Levitte]
499
500 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
501 [Rich Salz]
502
503 *) Add support for HKDF.
504 [Alessandro Ghedini]
505
506 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
507 [Bill Cox]
508
509 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
510 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
511 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
512 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
513 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
514 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
515 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
516 [Matt Caswell]
517
518 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
519 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
520 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
521 [Catriona Lucey]
522
523 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
524 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
525 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
526 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
527 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
528 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
529 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
530
531 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
532 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
533 [Todd Short]
534
535 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
536 [Todd Short]
537
538 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
539 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
540 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
541 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
542 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
543 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
544 default cipherlist.
545 [Emilia Käsper]
546
547 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
548 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
549 [Rich Salz]
550
551 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
552 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
553 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
554 [Matt Caswell]
555
556 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
557 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
558 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
559 implemented by other servers.
560 [Emilia Käsper]
561
562 *) Add X25519 support.
563 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
564 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
565 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
566 key generation and key derivation.
567
568 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
569 X25519(29).
570 [Steve Henson]
571
572 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
573 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
574 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
575 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
576 seed, even if the seed is configured.
577
578 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
579 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
580 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
581 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
582 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
583 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
584 that of a valid user.
585 [Emilia Käsper]
586
587 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
588 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
589 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
590 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
591
592 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
593 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
594
595 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
596 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
597 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
598 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
599
600 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
601 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
602 irrelevant.
603 [Richard Levitte]
604
605 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
606 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
607 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
608 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
609 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
610 of how OpenSSL was configured.
611
612 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
613 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
614 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
615 [Richard Levitte]
616
617 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
618 [Rich Salz]
619
620 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
621 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
622 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
623 removed.
624 [Richard Levitte]
625
626 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
627 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
628 old #define's might need to be updated.
629 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
630
631 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
632 [Rich Salz]
633
634 *) New "unified" build system
635
636 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
637 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
638
639 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
640 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
641 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
642
643 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
644 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
645 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
646 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
647 descrip.mms.tmpl.
648
649 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
650 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
651 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
652 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
653 libraries" in INSTALL.
654
655 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
656 [Richard Levitte]
657
658 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
659 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
660 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
661 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
662 [Matt Caswell]
663
664 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
665 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
666
667 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
668 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
669 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
670 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
671 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
672 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
673 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
674 have been adapted accordingly.
675 [Richard Levitte]
676
677 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
678 the leading 0-byte.
679 [Emilia Käsper]
680
681 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
682 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
683 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
684 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
685 [Emilia Käsper]
686
687 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
688 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
689 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
690 'unsigned char*'.
691 [Emilia Käsper]
692
693 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
694 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
695 [Emilia Käsper]
696
697 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
698 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
699 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
700 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
701 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
702 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
703 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
704
705 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
706 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
707
708 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
709 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
710 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
711 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
712 Text::Template.
713
714 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
715 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
716 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
717 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
718 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
719 %target).
720 [Richard Levitte]
721
722 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
723 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
724 straightforward and less interdependent.
725
726 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
727 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
728 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
729
730 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
731 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
732 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
733 installed.
734 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
735 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
736 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
737 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
738
739 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
740 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
741 [Richard Levitte]
742
743 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
744 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
745 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
746 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
747 is present).
748 [Matt Caswell]
749
750 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
751 configuring.
752 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
753
754 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
755 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
756 before trying to build now.*
757 [Rich Salz]
758
759 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
760 has changed.
761 [Rich Salz]
762
763 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
764
765 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
766 the application's responsibility. The application provides
767 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
768 used to authenticate the peer.
769
770 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
771 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
772 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
773 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
774 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
775 [Viktor Dukhovni]
776
777 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
778 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
779 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
780 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
781 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
782 or the 1.1.0 releases.
783
784 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
785 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
786 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
787 support for the deprecated features from the library and
788 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
789 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
790 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
791 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
792 version.
793
794 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
795 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
796 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
797 compile with later releases.
798
799 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
800 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
801 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
802 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
803 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
804 [Viktor Dukhovni]
805
806 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
807 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
808 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
809 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
810 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
811 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
812 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
813 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
814 [Kurt Roeckx]
815
816 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
817 [Andy Polyakov]
818
819 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
820 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
821 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
822 ECDSA_SIG format.
823
824 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
825 include the ec.h header file instead.
826 [Steve Henson]
827
828 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
829 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
830 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
831 [Kurt Roeckx]
832
833 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
834 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
835 were added:
836
837 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
838 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
839
840 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
841 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
842 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
843
844 Additional changes:
845 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
846 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
847 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
848 an already created structure.
849 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
850 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
851 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
852 for deprecated builds.
853 [Richard Levitte]
854
855 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
856 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
857 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
858 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
859 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
860 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
861 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
862 [Matt Caswell]
863
864 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
865 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
866 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
867 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
868 [Kurt Roeckx]
869
870 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
871 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
872 [Kurt Roeckx]
873
874 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
875 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
876 [Kurt Roeckx]
877
878 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
879 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
880 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
881 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
882 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
883 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
884 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
885 also been removed.
886 [Matt Caswell]
887
888 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
889 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
890 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
891 [Rich Salz]
892
893 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
894 [Rich Salz]
895
896 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
897 sureware and ubsec.
898 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
899
900 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
901
902 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
903 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
904
905 FOO *x;
906
907 it must be:
908
909 FOO x;
910
911 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
912 set a mandatory field to NULL.
913
914 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
915 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
916 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
917 SEQUENCE OF.
918 [Steve Henson]
919
920 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
921 [Emilia Käsper]
922
923 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
924 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
925 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
926 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
927 [Matt Caswell]
928
929 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
930 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
931 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
932 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
933 [Emilia Käsper]
934
935 *) Fix no-stdio build.
936 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
937 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
938
939 *) New testing framework
940 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
941 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
942 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
943 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
944 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
945 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
946
947 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
948
949 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
950 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
951
952 [Richard Levitte]
953
954 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
955 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
956 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
957 and others were changed. All are now documented.
958 [Rich Salz]
959
960 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
961 return an error
962 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
963
964 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
965 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
966
967 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
968 original RSA_PSK patch.
969 [Steve Henson]
970
971 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
972 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
973 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
974 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
975 [Matt Caswell]
976
977 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
978 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
979 [Richard Levitte]
980
981 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
982 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
983 hasn't been working properly for a while.
984 [Emilia Käsper]
985
986 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
987 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
988 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
989 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
990 transferred.
991 [Matt Caswell]
992
993 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
994 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
995 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
996 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
997 [Matt Caswell]
998
999 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1000 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1001 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1002 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1003 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1004 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1005 [Matt Caswell]
1006
1007 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1008 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1009 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1010 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1011 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1012 header file has been removed.
1013 [Matt Caswell]
1014
1015 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1016 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1017 [Matt Caswell]
1018
1019 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1020 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1021 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1022
1023 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1024 Added a test.
1025 [Rich Salz]
1026
1027 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1028 [Rich Salz]
1029
1030 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1031 sha256
1032 [Rich Salz]
1033
1034 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1035 [Matt Caswell]
1036
1037 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1038 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1039 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1040 [Steve Henson]
1041
1042 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1043 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1044 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1045 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1046 [Matt Caswell]
1047
1048 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1049 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1050 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1051 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1052 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1053 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1054 [Matt Caswell]
1055
1056 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1057 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1058 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1059 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1060 [Matt Caswell]
1061
1062 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1063 compatible client hello.
1064 [Kurt Roeckx]
1065
1066 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1067 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1068 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1069
1070 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1071 [Rich Salz]
1072
1073 *) Removed old DES API.
1074 [Rich Salz]
1075
1076 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1077 Sony NEWS4
1078 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1079 NeXT
1080 SUNOS
1081 MPE/iX
1082 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1083 DGUX
1084 NCR
1085 Tandem
1086 Cray
1087 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1088 [Rich Salz]
1089
1090 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1091 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1092 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1093 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1094 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1095 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1096 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1097 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1098 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1099 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1100 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1101 [Rich Salz]
1102
1103 *) Cleaned up dead code
1104 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1105 [Rich Salz]
1106
1107 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1108 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1109 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1110 [Rich Salz]
1111
1112 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1113 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1114 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1115 [Rich Salz]
1116
1117 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1118 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1119 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1120
1121 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1122 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1123 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1124
1125 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1126 compilation flags.
1127 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1128
1129 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1130 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1131 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1132
1133 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1134 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1135
1136 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1137 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1138 server.
1139
1140 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1141 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1142 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1143 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1144
1145 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1146 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1147 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1148 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1149
1150 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1151 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1152 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1153
1154 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1155 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1156 [Steve Henson]
1157
1158 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1159
1160 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1161 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1162
1163 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1164 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1165
1166 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1167 effect.
1168
1169 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1170
1171 [Steve Henson]
1172
1173 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1174 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1175 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1176 algorithms and include tests cases.
1177 [Steve Henson]
1178
1179 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1180 enveloped data.
1181 [Steve Henson]
1182
1183 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1184 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1185 [Steve Henson]
1186
1187 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1188 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1189
1190 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1191 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1192 [Steve Henson]
1193
1194 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1195 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1196 failures.
1197 [Steve Henson]
1198
1199 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1200 sign or verify all in one operation.
1201 [Steve Henson]
1202
1203 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1204 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1205 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1206 [Steve Henson]
1207
1208 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1209 [Steve Henson]
1210
1211 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1212 [Steve Henson]
1213
1214 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1215 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1216 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1217 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1218 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1219 [Steve Henson]
1220
1221 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1222 based on NID.
1223 [Steve Henson]
1224
1225 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1226 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1227 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1228 [Steve Henson]
1229
1230 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1231 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1232
1233 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1234 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1235 [Steve Henson]
1236
1237 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1238 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1239 [Steve Henson]
1240
1241 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1242 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1243 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1244 [Steve Henson]
1245
1246 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1247 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1248 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1249 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1250 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1251 requested amount of entropy.
1252 [Steve Henson]
1253
1254 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1255 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1256 [Steve Henson]
1257
1258 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1259 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1260 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1261 support.
1262 [Steve Henson]
1263
1264 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1265 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1266 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1267 [Steve Henson]
1268
1269 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1270 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1271 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1272 will never use XTS mode.
1273 [Steve Henson]
1274
1275 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1276 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1277 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1278 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1279 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1280 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1281 [Steve Henson]
1282
1283 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1284 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1285 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1286 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1287 [Steve Henson]
1288
1289 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1290 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1291 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1292 [Steve Henson]
1293
1294 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1295 [Steve Henson]
1296
1297 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1298 [Steve Henson]
1299
1300 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1301 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1302 [Steve Henson]
1303
1304 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1305 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1306 [Steve Henson]
1307
1308 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1309 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1310 [Steve Henson]
1311
1312 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1313 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1314 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1315 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1316 and rename any affected symbols.
1317 [Steve Henson]
1318
1319 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1320 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1321 [Steve Henson]
1322
1323 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1324 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1325 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1326 [Steve Henson]
1327
1328 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1329 [Steve Henson]
1330
1331 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1332 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1333 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1334 [Steve Henson]
1335
1336 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1337 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1338 [Steve Henson]
1339
1340 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1341 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1342 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1343 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1344 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1345 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1346 set before the key.
1347 [Steve Henson]
1348
1349 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1350 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1351 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1352 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1353 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1354 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1355 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1356 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1357 [Steve Henson]
1358
1359 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1360 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1361 [Steve Henson]
1362
1363 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1364
1365 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1366 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1367
1368 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1369 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1370 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1371 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1372 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1373 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1374
1375 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1376 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1377 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1378 security.
1379 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1380
1381 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1382 parameters by name.
1383 [Steve Henson]
1384
1385 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1386 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1387 [Steve Henson]
1388
1389 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1390 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1391 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1392 [Steve Henson]
1393
1394 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1395 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1396 multi-process servers.
1397 [Steve Henson]
1398
1399 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1400 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1401 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1402 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1403 RAND_METHOD structure.
1404 [Steve Henson]
1405
1406 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1407 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1408 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1409 whose return value is often ignored.
1410 [Steve Henson]
1411
1412 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1413 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1414 validated when establishing a connection.
1415 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]

1417 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1418
1419 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1420
1421 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1422 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1423 AES-NI.
1424
1425 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1426 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1427 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1428 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1429 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1430 bytes.
1431
1432 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1433 (CVE-2016-2107)
1434 [Kurt Roeckx]
1435
1436 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1437
1438 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1439 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1440 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1441 corruption.
1442
1443 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1444 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1445 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1446 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1447 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1448 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1449
1450 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1451 (CVE-2016-2105)
1452 [Matt Caswell]
1453
1454 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1455
1456 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1457 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1458 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1459 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1460 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1461 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1462 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1463 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1464 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1465 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1466 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1467 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1468 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1469 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1470 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1471 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1472
1473 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1474 (CVE-2016-2106)
1475 [Matt Caswell]
1476
1477 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1478
1479 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1480 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1481 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1482
1483 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1484 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1485 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1486 applications are not affected.
1487
1488 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1489 (CVE-2016-2109)
1490 [Stephen Henson]
1491
1492 *) EBCDIC overread
1493
1494 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1495 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1496 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1497
1498 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1499 (CVE-2016-2176)
1500 [Matt Caswell]
1501
1502 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1503 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1504 [Todd Short]
1505
1506 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1507 default.
1508 [Kurt Roeckx]
1509
1510 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1511 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1512 [Kurt Roeckx]
1513
1514 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1515
1516 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1517 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1518 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1519 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1520
1521 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1522 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1523 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1524 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1525 will need to explicitly call either of:
1526
1527 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1528 or
1529 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1530
1531 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1532 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1533 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1534 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1535 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

1539 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1540
1541 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1542 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1543 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1544 considered rare.
1545
1546 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1547 libFuzzer.

1550
1551 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1552
1553 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1554
1555 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1556 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1557 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1558 is configured.
1559
1560 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1561 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1562 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1563 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1564 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1565 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1566 that of a valid user.

1568 [Emilia Käsper]
1569
1570 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1571
1572 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1573 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1574 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1575 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1576 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1577 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1578 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1579 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1580 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1581 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1582 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1583
1584 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1585 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1586 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1587 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1588 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

1592 [Matt Caswell]
1593
1594 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1595
1596 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1597 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1598 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1599
1600 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1601 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1602 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1603 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1604 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1605 also occur.
1606
1607 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1608 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1609 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1610 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1611 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1612 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1613 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1614 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1615 as command line arguments.
1616
1617 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1618 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1619 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1625 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1626
1627 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1628 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1629 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1630 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1631 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1632
1633 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of

1645
1646 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1647 *) DH small subgroups
1648
1649 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1650 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1651 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1652 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1653 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1654 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1655 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1656 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1657 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1658 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1659
1660 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1661 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1662 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1663 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1664 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1665
1666 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1667 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1668 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1669 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1670
1671 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1672 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

1682 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1683 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1692 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1693
1694 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1695 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1696 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1697 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1698 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1699 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1700 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1701 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1702 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1703 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1704 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1705 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1712
1713 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1714 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1715 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1716 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1717 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1718 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1719 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1750 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1751
1752 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1753 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1754 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1755 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1756 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1757 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1773
1774 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1775 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1776 field.
1777
1778 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1779 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1780 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1781 client authentication enabled.

1789 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1790 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1791 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1792 time string.
1793
1794 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1795 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1796 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1797 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1798 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1799 callbacks.

1855
1856 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1857
1858 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1859 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1860 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1861 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1862 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1863 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1864 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1865 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1866
1867 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1868 (CVE-2015-0290)
1869 [Matt Caswell]
1870
1871 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1872
1873 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1874 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1875 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1876 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1877 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1878 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1879 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1880 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1881 server.

1888
1889 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1890 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1891 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1892 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1893 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1894 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1899
1900 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1901 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1902 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1903 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any

1912 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1913
1914 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1915 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1916 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1917
1918 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1919 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1920 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are

1929 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1930
1931 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or

1950 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1951
1952 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1953 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1954 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1955 (CVE-2015-1787)
1956 [Matt Caswell]
1957
1958 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1959
1960 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1961 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1962 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1963 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1964 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1965 SSL_client_methodv23)
1966 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1967 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1968
1969 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1970 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1971 output may be predictable.
1972
1973 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1974 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1975
1976 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

1980 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1981
1982 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1983 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1984 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1985 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1986 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1987 sources. This scenario is considered rare.

2003 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2004 [Kurt Roeckx]
2005
2006 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2007
2008 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2009 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2010 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2011 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2012 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2013 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2014 [Andy Polyakov]
2015
2016 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2017 (other platforms pending).
2018 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2019
2020 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2021 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2022 [Rob Stradling]
2023
2024 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2025 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2026 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2027 [Bodo Moeller]
2028
2029 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2030 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2031 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2032 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2033 [Andy Polyakov]
2034
2035 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2036 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2037
2038 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2039 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2040 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2041 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2042 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2043
2044 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2045 [Andy Polyakov]
2046
2047 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2048 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2049 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2050 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2051
2052 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2053 RSAZ.
2054 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2055
2056 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2057 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2058 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2059 for TLS encrypt.
2060
2061 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2062 [Andy Polyakov]
2063
2064 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2065 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2066 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2067 [Steve Henson]
2068
2069 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2070 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2071 [Steve Henson]
2072
2073 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2074 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2075 [Steve Henson]
2076
2077 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2078 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2079 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2080 algorithms and include tests cases.
2081 [Steve Henson]
2082
2083 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2084 structure.
2085 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2086
2087 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2088 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2089 [Steve Henson]
2090
2091 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2092 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2093 summary of the connection parameters.
2094 [Steve Henson]
2095
2096 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2097 of connection parameters.
2098 [Steve Henson]
2099
2100 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2101 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2102
2103 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2104 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2108 [Steve Henson]
2109
2110 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2111 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2112 [Steve Henson]
2113
2114 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2115 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2116 [Steve Henson]
2117
2118 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2119 certificates.
2120 [Steve Henson]
2121
2122 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2123 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2124 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2125 [Steve Henson]
2126
2127 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2128 [Steve Henson]
2129
2130 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2131 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2132 [Steve Henson]
2133
2134 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2135 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2136 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2137 tracing.
2138 [Steve Henson]
2139
2140 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2141 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2142 [Steve Henson]
2143
2144 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2145 OID NID.
2146 [Steve Henson]
2147
2148 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2149 client to OpenSSL.
2150 [Steve Henson]
2151
2152 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2153 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2154 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2155 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2156 [Steve Henson]
2157
2158 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2159 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2160 [Steve Henson]
2161
2162 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2163 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2164 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2165 comparison.
2166 [Steve Henson]
2167
2168 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2169 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2170 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2171 use the certificate.
2172 [Steve Henson]
2173
2174 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2175 [Steve Henson]
2176
2177 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2178 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2179 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2180 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2181 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2182 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2183 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2184
2185 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2186 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2187
2188 [Steve Henson]
2189
2190 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2191 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2192 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2193 [Steve Henson]
2194
2195 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2196 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2197 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2198 supported signature algorithms.
2199 [Steve Henson]
2200
2201 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2202 [Steve Henson]
2203
2204 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2205 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2206 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2207 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2208 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2209 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2210 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2211 [Steve Henson]
2212
2213 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2214 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2215 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2216 to have similar checks in it.
2217
2218 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2219 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2220 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2221 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2222 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2226 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2227 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2228 shared signature algorithms.
2229 [Steve Henson]
2230
2231 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2232 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2233 to support them.
2234 [Steve Henson]
2235
2236 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2237 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2238 it couldn't be removed.
2239 [Steve Henson]
2240
2241 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2242 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2243 [Steve Henson]
2244
2245 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2246 functions. Add manual page.
2247 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2248
2249 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2250 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2251 a certificate.
2252 [Steve Henson]
2253
2254 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2255 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2256
2257 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2258 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2259 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2260 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2261 utility) or reject.
2262 [Steve Henson]
2263
2264 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2265 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2266 [Steve Henson]
2267
2268 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2269 platform support for Linux and Android.
2270 [Andy Polyakov]
2271
2272 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2273 [Andy Polyakov]
2274
2275 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2276 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2277 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2278 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2279 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2280 [Steve Henson]
2281
2282 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2283 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2284 the new parameter format automatically.
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2288 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2289 [Steve Henson]
2290
2291 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2292 [Steve Henson]
2293
2294 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2295 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2296 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2297 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2298 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2299 [Steve Henson]
2300
2301 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2302 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2303 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2304 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2305 to set list of supported curves.
2306 [Steve Henson]
2307
2308 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2309 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2310 to print out received values.
2311 [Steve Henson]
2312
2313 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2314 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2315 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2316 [Steve Henson]
2317
2318 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2319 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2320 [Steve Henson]
2321
2322 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2323 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2324 [Steve Henson]
2325
2326 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2327 certificates.
2328 [Steve Henson]
2329
2330 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2331 the certificate.
2332 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2333 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2334 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2335
2336 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2337
2338 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2339 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2340
2341 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2342
2343 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2344 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2345 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2346 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2347 (CVE-2014-3571)
2348 [Steve Henson]
2349
2350 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2351 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2352 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2353 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2354 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2355 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2356 (CVE-2015-0206)
2357 [Matt Caswell]
2358
2359 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2360 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2361 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2362 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2363 (CVE-2014-3569)
2364 [Kurt Roeckx]
2365
2366 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2367 ECDH ciphersuites.
2368
2369 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2370 reporting this issue.
2371 (CVE-2014-3572)
2372 [Steve Henson]
2373
2374 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2375 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2376 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2377 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2378 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2379 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2380 (CVE-2015-0204)
2381 [Steve Henson]
2382
2383 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2384 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2385 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2386 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2387 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2388 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2389 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2390 this issue.
2391 (CVE-2015-0205)
2392 [Steve Henson]
2393
2394 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2395 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2396
2397 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2398 and can vary with the CTX.
2399 [Adam Langley]
2400
2401 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2402
2403 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2404 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2405 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2406 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2407 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2408
2409 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2410
2411 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2412 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2413
2414 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2415
2416 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2417 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2418 errors for some broken certificates.
2419
2420 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2421
2422 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2423
2424 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2425 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2426
2427 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2428 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2429 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2430 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2431
2432 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2433 of the OpenSSL core team.
2434
2435 (CVE-2014-8275)
2436 [Steve Henson]
2437
2438 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2439 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2440 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2441 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2442 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2443 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2444 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2445 the OpenSSL core team.
2446 (CVE-2014-3570)
2447 [Andy Polyakov]
2448
2449 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2450 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2451 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2452 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2453 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2454
2455 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2456 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2457 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2458 [Emilia Käsper]
2459
2460 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2461 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2462 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2463 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2464 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2465
2466 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2467 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2468 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2469 [Emilia Käsper]
2470
2471 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2472
2473 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2474
2475 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2476 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2477 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2478 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2479 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2480 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2481 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2482
2483 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2484 (CVE-2014-3513)
2485 [OpenSSL team]
2486
2487 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2488
2489 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2490 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2491 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2492 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2493 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2494 attack.
2495 (CVE-2014-3567)
2496 [Steve Henson]
2497
2498 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2499
2500 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2501 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2502 configured to send them.
2503 (CVE-2014-3568)
2504 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2505
2506 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2507 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2508 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2509 (CVE-2014-3566)
2510 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2511
2512 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2513
2514 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2515 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2516 DigestInfo structures.
2517
2518 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.

2520 [Steve Henson]
2521
2522 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2523
2524 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2525 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2526 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2527
2528 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2529 Group for discovering this issue.
2530 (CVE-2014-3512)
2531 [Steve Henson]
2532
2533 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2534 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2535 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2536 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2537 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2538
2539 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2540 researching this issue.
2541 (CVE-2014-3511)
2542 [David Benjamin]
2543
2544 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2545 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2546 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2547 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2548
2549 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2550 issue.
2551 (CVE-2014-3510)
2552 [Emilia Käsper]
2553
2554 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2555 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2556 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2557 (CVE-2014-3507)
2558 [Adam Langley]
2559
2560 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2561 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2562 Denial of Service attack.
2563 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2564 (CVE-2014-3506)
2565 [Adam Langley]
2566
2567 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2568 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2569 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2570 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2571 this issue.
2572 (CVE-2014-3505)
2573 [Adam Langley]
2574
2575 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2576 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2577 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2578
2579 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2580 issue.
2581 (CVE-2014-3509)
2582 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2583
2584 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2585 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2586 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2587 Denial of Service attack.
2588
2589 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2590 discovering and researching this issue.
2591 (CVE-2014-5139)
2592 [Steve Henson]
2593
2594 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2595 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2596 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2597 output to the attacker.
2598
2599 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2600 (CVE-2014-3508)
2601 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2602
2603 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2604 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2605 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2606 [Bodo Moeller]
2607
2608 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2609
2610 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2611 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2612 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2613
2614 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2615 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2616 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2617
2618 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2619 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2620 in a DoS attack.
2621
2622 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2623 (CVE-2014-0221)
2624 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2625
2626 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2627 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2628 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2629 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2630
2631 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2632 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2633
2634 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2635 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2636
2637 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2638 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2639 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2640
2641 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2642 compilation flags.
2643 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2644
2645 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2646 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2647 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2648
2649 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2650 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2651
2652 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2653
2654 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2655 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2656 server.
2657
2658 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2659 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2660 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2661 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2662
2663 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2664 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2665 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2666 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2667
2668 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2669 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2670 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2671
2672 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2673
2674 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2675 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2676 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2677 is at least 512 bytes long.
2678
2679 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2680
2681 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2682
2683 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2684 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2685 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2686 (CVE-2013-4353)
2687
2688 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2689 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2690 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2691 [Steve Henson]
2692
2693 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2694 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2695 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2696 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2697 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2698 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2699 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2700
2701 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2702
2703 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2704 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2705 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2706
2707 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2708
2709 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2710
2711 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2712 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2713 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2714
2715 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2716 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2717 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2718 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2719 (CVE-2013-0169)
2720 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2721
2722 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2723 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2724 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2725 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2726 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2727 (CVE-2012-2686)
2728 [Adam Langley]
2729
2730 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2731 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2732 [Steve Henson]
2733
2734 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2735 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2736
2737 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2738 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2739 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2740 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2741 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2742
2743 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2744 [Steve Henson]
2745
2746 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2747 if renegotiating.
2748 [Steve Henson]
2749
2750 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2751
2752 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2753 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2754
2755 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2756 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2757 (CVE-2012-2333)
2758 [Steve Henson]
2759
2760 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2761 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2762 [Steve Henson]
2763
2764 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2765 approved.
2766 [Steve Henson]
2767
2768 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2769
2770 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2771 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2772 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2773 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2774 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2775 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2776 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2777 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2778 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2779 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2780 [Steve Henson]
2781
2782 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2783 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2784 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2785 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2786 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2787 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2788 client side.
2789 [Andy Polyakov]
2790
2791 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2792
2793 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2794 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2795 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2796
2797 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2798 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2799 (CVE-2012-2110)
2800 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2801
2802 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2803 [Adam Langley]
2804
2805 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2806 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2807
2808 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2809 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2810 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2811 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2812 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2813 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2814 Most broken servers should now work.
2815 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2816 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2817 [Steve Henson]
2818
2819 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2820 [Andy Polyakov]
2821
2822 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2823
2824 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2825 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2826 [Steve Henson]
2827
2828 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2829 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2830 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2831 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2832 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2833 [Steve Henson]
2834
2835 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2836 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2837 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2838 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2839 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2840 [Steve Henson]
2841
2842 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2843 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2844
2845 *) Add support for SCTP.
2846 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2847
2848 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2849 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2850
2851 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2852
2853 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2854 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2855 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2856 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2857 - s390x: z196 support;
2858 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2859
2860 [Andy Polyakov]
2861
2862 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2863 (removal of unnecessary code)
2864 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2865
2866 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2867 [Eric Rescorla]
2868
2869 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2870 [Eric Rescorla]
2871
2872 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2873 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2874 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2875 by Google.
2876 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2877
2878 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2879 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2880 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2881 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2882 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2883
2884 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2885 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2886 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2887
2888 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2889 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2890 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2891
2892 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2893 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2894 implementations).
2895 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2896
2897 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2898 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2899 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2900 [Steve Henson]
2901
2902 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2903 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2904 particular PSS.
2905 [Steve Henson]
2906
2907 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2908 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2909 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2910 [Steve Henson]
2911
2912 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2913 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2914 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2915 the appropriate parameters.
2916 [Steve Henson]
2917
2918 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2919 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2920 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2921 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2922 against a number of sample certificates.
2923 [Steve Henson]
2924
2925 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2926 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2927
2928 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2929 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2930
2931 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2932 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2933 parameters r, s.
2934 [Steve Henson]
2935
2936 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2937 RFC3211.
2938 [Steve Henson]
2939
2940 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2941 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2942 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2943 password based CMS).
2944 [Steve Henson]
2945
2946 *) Session-handling fixes:
2947 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2948 but also support Session Tickets.
2949 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2950 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2951 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2952 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2953 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2954 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2955
2956 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2957 [Bodo Moeller]
2958
2959 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2960
2961 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2962 [Andy Polyakov]
2963
2964 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2965 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2966 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2967 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2968 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2969 [Steve Henson]
2970
2971 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2972 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2973 [Steve Henson]
2974
2975 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2976 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2977 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2978 [Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2981 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2982 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2983 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2984 [Steve Henson]
2985
2986 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2987 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2988 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2989 [Steve Henson]
2990
2991 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2992 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2993
2994 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2995 [Steve Henson]
2996
2997 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2998 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2999 [Steve Henson]
3000
3001 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3005 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3006 [Steve Henson]
3007
3008 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3009 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3010 [Steve Henson]
3011
3012 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3013 [Steve Henson]
3014
3015 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3016 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3017 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3018 [Steve Henson]
3019
3020 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3021 [Steve Henson]
3022
3023 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3024 [Steve Henson]
3025
3026 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3027 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3028 [Steve Henson]
3029
3030 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3031 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3032 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3033 [Steve Henson]
3034
3035 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3036 [Steve Henson]
3037
3038 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3039 and enable MD5.
3040 [Steve Henson]
3041
3042 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3043 FIPS modules versions.
3044 [Steve Henson]
3045
3046 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3047 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3048 until after the certificate request message is received.
3049 [Steve Henson]
3050
3051 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3052 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3053 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3054 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3055 [Steve Henson]
3056
3057 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3058 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3059 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3060 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3061 [Steve Henson]
3062
3063 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3064 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3065 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3066 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3067 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3068 and version checking.
3069 [Steve Henson]
3070
3071 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3072 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3073 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3074 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3075 [Steve Henson]
3076
3077 *) Add SRP support.
3078 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3079
3080 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3081 [Steve Henson]
3082
3083 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3084 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3085 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3086
3087 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3088 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3089 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3090 [Steve Henson]
3091
3092 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3093 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3094
3095 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3096 a few changes are required:
3097
3098 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3099 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3100 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3101 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3102 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3103 [Steve Henson]
3104
3105 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3106
3107 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3108 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3109 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3110 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3111 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3112 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3113 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3114 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3115 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3116 [Steve Henson]
3117
3118 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3119 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3120 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3121 [Steve Henson]
3122
3123 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3124
3125 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3126 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3127 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3128 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3129 [Antonio Martin]
3130
3131 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3132
3133 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3134 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3135 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3136 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3137 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3138 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3139 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3140 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3141 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3142 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3143 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3144 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3145 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3146
3147 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3148 (CVE-2011-4576)
3149 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3150
3151 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3152 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3153 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3154 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3155
3156 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3157 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3158
3159 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3160 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3161 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3162 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3163
3164 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3165 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3166
3167 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3168 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3169
3170 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3171 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3172
3173 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3174 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3175 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3176
3177 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3178 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3179 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3180
3181 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3182 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3183 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3184 the last update always remained unused).
3185 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3186
3187 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3188 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3189
3190 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3191
3192 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3193 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3194 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3195
3196 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3197 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3198 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3199
3200 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3201 [Bodo Moeller]
3202
3203 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3204 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3205 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3206 [Steve Henson]
3207
3208 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3209 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3210
3211 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3212
3213 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3214
3215 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3216
3217 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3218 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3219
3220 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3221 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3222 ambiguous.
3223 [Steve Henson]
3224
3225 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3226
3227 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3228 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3229 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3230 [Steve Henson]
3231
3232 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3233 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3234 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3235 [Ben Laurie]
3236
3237 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3238
3239 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3240 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3241 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3242 [Steve Henson]
3243
3244 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3245 a DLL.
3246 [Steve Henson]
3247
3248 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3249
3250 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3251 (CVE-2010-1633)
3252 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3253
3254 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3255
3256 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3257 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3258 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3259 [Steve Henson]
3260
3261 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3262 [Steve Henson]
3263
3264 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3265 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3266 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3267
3268 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3269 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3270 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3271 [Steve Henson]
3272
3273 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3274 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3275 [Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3278 some responders need this.
3279 [Steve Henson]
3280
3281 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3282 correctly.
3283 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3284
3285 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3286 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3287 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3288 [Steve Henson]
3289
3290 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3291 [Steve Henson]
3292
3293 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3294 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3295 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3296 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3297 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3298 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3299 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3300 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3301 [Steve Henson]
3302
3303 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3304 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3305 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3306 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3307
3308 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3309 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3310
3311 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3312 be used on C++.
3313 [Steve Henson]
3314
3315 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3316 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3317 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3318 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3319 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3320 attempting to work them out.
3321 [Steve Henson]
3322
3323 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3324 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3325 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3326 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3327 [Steve Henson]
3328
3329 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3330 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3331 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3332 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3333 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3334 [Steve Henson]
3335
3336 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3337 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3338 you can do:
3339
3340 openssl sha256 foo
3341
3342 as well as:
3343
3344 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3345
3346 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3347
3348 [Steve Henson]
3349
3350 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3351 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3352
3353 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3354 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3355
3356 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3357 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3358 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3359 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3360 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3364 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3365 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3369 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3370 [Steve Henson]
3371
3372 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3373 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3374
3375 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3376 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3377 [Steve Henson]
3378
3379 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3380 [Ben Laurie]
3381
3382 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3383 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3384 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3385 CONF_VALUE.
3386 [Ben Laurie]
3387
3388 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3389 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3390 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3391 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3392 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3393 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3394 [Steve Henson]
3395
3396 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3397 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3398
3399 This work was sponsored by Google.
3400 [Steve Henson]
3401
3402 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3403 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3404 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3405 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3406 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3407 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3408 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3409 default.
3410
3411 This work was sponsored by Google.
3412 [Steve Henson]
3413
3414 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3415
3416 This work was sponsored by Google.
3417 [Steve Henson]
3418
3419 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3420 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3421 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3422 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3423
3424 This work was sponsored by Google.
3425 [Steve Henson]
3426
3427 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3428 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3429 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3430 CRL functionality in future.
3431
3432 This work was sponsored by Google.
3433 [Steve Henson]
3434
3435 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3436
3437 This work was sponsored by Google.
3438 [Steve Henson]
3439
3440 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3441 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3442
3443 This work was sponsored by Google.
3444 [Steve Henson]
3445
3446 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3447 and URI types are currently supported.
3448
3449 This work was sponsored by Google.
3450 [Steve Henson]
3451
3452 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3453 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3454 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3455 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3456 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3457 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3458 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3459 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3460
3461 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3462 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3463 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3464
3465 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3466 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3467 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3468 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3469
3470 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3471 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3472 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3473 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3474 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3475 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3476 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3477 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3478 of &errno.)
3479 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3480
3481 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3482 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3483 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3484
3485 This work was sponsored by Google.
3486 [Steve Henson]
3487
3488 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3489 [Ben Laurie]
3490
3491 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3492 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3493 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3494 [Ben Laurie]
3495
3496 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3497 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3498 [Nick Mathewson]
3499
3500 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3501 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3502 [Ben Laurie]
3503
3504 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3505 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3506 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3507 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3508 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3509 content types and variants.
3510 [Steve Henson]
3511
3512 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3513 [Steve Henson]
3514
3515 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3516 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3517 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3518 files from the associated perl scripts.
3519 [Steve Henson]
3520
3521 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3522 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3523 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3524
3525 *) s390x assembler pack.
3526 [Andy Polyakov]
3527
3528 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3529 "family."
3530 [Andy Polyakov]
3531
3532 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3533 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3534 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3535 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3536 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3537 to use. For example, specify an option
3538
3539 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3540
3541 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3542 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3543 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3544 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3545 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3546 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3547
3548 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3549 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3550 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3551 return non-zero for success.
3552
3553 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3554 by using
3555
3556 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3557 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3558
3559 where
3560
3561 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3562 void *arg;
3563
3564 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3565 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3566 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3567 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3568 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3569 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3570 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3571 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3572 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3573
3574 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3575 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3576 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3577 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3578 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3579 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3580
3581 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3582 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3583 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3584 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3585 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3586 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3587
3588 [Bodo Moeller]
3589
3590 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3591 MAC.
3592
3593 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3594
3595 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3596 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3597 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3598 supported.
3599
3600 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3601 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3602 SSL_SESSION.
3603
3604 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3605 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3606 with no application modification.
3607
3608 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3609 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3610
3611 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3612 or server extensions to be examined.
3613
3614 This work was sponsored by Google.
3615 [Steve Henson]
3616
3617 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3618 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3619 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3620
3621 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3622 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3623 ciphersuite support.
3624 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3625
3626 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3627 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3628 to output in BER and PEM format.
3629 [Steve Henson]
3630
3631 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3632 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3633 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3634 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3635 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3636 [Steve Henson]
3637
3638 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3639 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3640 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3641 utility.
3642 [Steve Henson]
3643
3644 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3645 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3646 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3647 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3648 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3649 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3650 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3651 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3652 enabled again.
3653
3654 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3655 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3656 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3657 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3658
3659 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3660 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3661 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3662 the default order.
3663 [Bodo Moeller]
3664
3665 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3666 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3667 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3668 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3669 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3670 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3671 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3672 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3673 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3674
3675 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3676 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3677 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3678 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3679 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3680 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3681 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3682 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3683 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3684 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3685 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3686 kinds of kludges.
3687
3688 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3689 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3690 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3691
3692 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3693 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3694 "CAMELLIA256".
3695 [Bodo Moeller]
3696
3697 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3698 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3699 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3700 [Nils Larsch]
3701
3702 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3703 it yet and it is largely untested.
3704 [Steve Henson]
3705
3706 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3707 [Nils Larsch]
3708
3709 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3710 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3711 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3712 [Steve Henson]
3713
3714 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3715 [Andy Polyakov]
3716
3717 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3718 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3719 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3720 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3721 [Steve Henson]
3722
3723 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3724 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3725 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3726 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3727 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3731 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3732 [Cryptocom]
3733
3734 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3735 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3736 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3737 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3738 [Steve Henson]
3739
3740 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3741 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3742 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3743 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3744 [Steve Henson]
3745
3746 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3747 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3748 [Steve Henson]
3749
3750 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3751 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3752 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3753 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3754 [Steve Henson]
3755
3756 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3757 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3758 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3759 [Steve Henson]
3760
3761 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3762 utility.
3763 [Steve Henson]
3764
3765 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3766 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3767 [Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3770 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3771 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3772 if necessary.
3773 [Steve Henson]
3774
3775 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3776 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3777 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3778 [Steve Henson]
3779
3780 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3781 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3782 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3783 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3784 [Steve Henson]
3785
3786 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3787 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3788 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3789 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3790 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3791 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3792 [Douglas Stebila]
3793
3794 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3795 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3796 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3797 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3798 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3799
3800 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3801 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3802 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3803 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3804 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3805 protocol).
3806
3807 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3808 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3809 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3810 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3811
3812 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3813 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3814 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3815 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3816 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3817
3818 aECDH - ECDH cert
3819 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3820 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3821
3822 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3823 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3824
3825 [Bodo Moeller]
3826
3827 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3828 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3829 [Steve Henson]
3830
3831 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3832 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3833 [Steve Henson]
3834
3835 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3836 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3837 functional reference processing.
3838 [Steve Henson]
3839
3840 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3841 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3842 process.
3843 [Steve Henson]
3844
3845 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3846 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3847 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3848 [Steve Henson]
3849
3850 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3851 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3852 application to support multiple signers.
3853 [Steve Henson]
3854
3855 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3856 digest MAC.
3857 [Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3860 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3861 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3862 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3863 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3864 [Steve Henson]
3865
3866 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3867 new API.
3868 [Steve Henson]
3869
3870 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3871 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3872 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3873 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3874 a no op.
3875 [Steve Henson]
3876
3877 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3878 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3879 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3880 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3881 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3882 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3883 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3884 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3885 [Steve Henson]
3886
3887 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3888 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3889 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3890 between digests and public key types.
3891 [Steve Henson]
3892
3893 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3894 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3895 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3896 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3897 [Steve Henson]
3898
3899 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3900 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3901 key ASN1 method.
3902 [Steve Henson]
3903
3904 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3905 [Steve Henson]
3906
3907 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3908 pkeyutl.
3909 [Steve Henson]
3910
3911 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3912 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3913 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3914 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3915 pkey, genpkey.
3916 [Steve Henson]
3917
3918 *) BeOS support.
3919 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3920
3921 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3922 manual pages.
3923 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3924
3925 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3926 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3927 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3928 functionality for RSA.
3929 [Steve Henson]
3930
3931 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3932 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3933 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3934 [Steve Henson]
3935
3936 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3937 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3938 [Steve Henson]
3939
3940 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3941 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3942 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3943 [Steve Henson]
3944
3945 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3946 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3947 [Douglas Stebila]
3948
3949 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3950 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3951 [Steve Henson]
3952
3953 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3954 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3955 type.
3956 [Steve Henson]
3957
3958 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3959 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3960 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3961 structure.
3962 [Steve Henson]
3963
3964 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3965 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3966 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3967 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3968 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3969 of public and private key structures.
3970 [Steve Henson]
3971
3972 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3973 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3974 [Douglas Stebila]
3975
3976 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3977 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3978 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3979
3980 New ciphersuites:
3981 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3982 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3983
3984 New functions:
3985 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3986 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3987 SSL_get_psk_identity
3988 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3989
3990 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3991
3992 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3993 and response verification functionality.
3994 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3995
3996 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3997 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3998 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3999 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4000 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4001 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4002 server_name extension.
4003
4004 New functions (subject to change):
4005
4006 SSL_get_servername()
4007 SSL_get_servername_type()
4008 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4009
4010 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4011
4012 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4013 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4014 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4015 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4016 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4017
4018 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4019
4020 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4021 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4022 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4023 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4024 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4025 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4026 option.
4027
4028 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4029
4030 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4031 [Andy Polyakov]
4032
4033 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4034 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4035 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4036 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4037 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4038 [Andy Polyakov]
4039
4040 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4041 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4042 macro.
4043 [Bodo Moeller]
4044
4045 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4046 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4047 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4048 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4049 [Andy Polyakov]
4050
4051 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4052 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4053 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4054 using the maximum available value.
4055 [Steve Henson]
4056
4057 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4058 in addition to the text details.
4059 [Bodo Moeller]
4060
4061 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4062 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4063 handle several customised structures at all.
4064 [Steve Henson]
4065
4066 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4067 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4068 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4069 [Steve Henson]
4070
4071 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4072 [Steve Henson]
4073
4074 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4075 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4076 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4077 [Steve Henson]
4078
4079 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4080 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4081 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4082 [Nils Larsch]
4083
4084 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4085 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4086 all fields.
4087 [Steve Henson]
4088
4089 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4090 [Steve Henson]
4091
4092 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4093 [NTT]
4094
4095 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4096
4097 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4098 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4099 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4100 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4101 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4102 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4103 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4104 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4105
4106 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4107 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4108 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4109
4110 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4111
4112 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4113 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4114
4115 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4116 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4117 [Bodo Moeller]
4118
4119 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4120 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4121 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4122 [Steve Henson]
4123
4124 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4125 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4126 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4127 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4128 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4129 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4130 [Steve Henson]
4131
4132 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4133 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4134 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4135 [Steve Henson]
4136
4137 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4138 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4139 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4140 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4141 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4142 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4143 CVE-2009-4355.
4144 [Steve Henson]
4145
4146 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4147 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4148 [Bodo Moeller]
4149
4150 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4151 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4152 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4153 [Steve Henson]
4154
4155 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4156 [Steve Henson]
4157
4158 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4159 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4160 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4161 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4162 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4163 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4164 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4165 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4166 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4167 [Steve Henson]
4168
4169 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4170 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4171 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4172 [Steve Henson]
4173
4174 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4175 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4176 [Steve Henson]
4177
4178 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4179 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4180 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4181 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4182 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4183 know what you are doing.
4184 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4185
4186 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4187 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4188 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4189 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4190 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4191 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4192 the handshake.
4193 [Steve Henson]
4194
4195 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4196 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4197 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4198 correctly.
4199 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4200
4201 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4202 warnings in other configurations.
4203 [Steve Henson]
4204
4205 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4206 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4207 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4208 systems need.
4209 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4210
4211 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4212 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4213 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4214
4215 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4216 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4217 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4218 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4219 [Steve Henson]
4220
4221 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4222 and restored.
4223 [Steve Henson]
4224
4225 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4226 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4227 clash.
4228 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4229
4230 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4231 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4232 other than a simple chain.
4233 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4234
4235 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4236 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4237 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4238 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4239 [Steve Henson]
4240
4241 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4242 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4243 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4244 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4245 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4246 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4247 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4248 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4249 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4250
4251 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4252 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4253 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4254 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4255 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4256 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4257 (CVE-2009-1377)
4258 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4259
4260 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4261 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4262 [Daniel Mentz]
4263
4264 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4265 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4266
4267 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4268 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4269
4270 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4271
4272 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4273 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4274 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4275 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4276 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4277 you're doing.
4278 [Ben Laurie]
4279
4280 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4281
4282 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4283 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4284 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4285 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4286
4287 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4288 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4289 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4290 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4291
4292 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4293 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4294 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4295 [Steve Henson]
4296
4297 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4298 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4299 level.
4300 [Steve Henson]
4301
4302 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4303 to handle some structures.
4304 [Steve Henson]
4305
4306 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4307 for a '\n'
4308 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4309
4310 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4311 [Matthieu Herrb]
4312
4313 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4314 [Steve Henson]
4315
4316 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4317 [Steve Henson]
4318
4319 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4320 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4321 chosen compiler.
4322 [Ben Laurie]
4323
4324 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4325
4326 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4327 (CVE-2008-5077).
4328 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4329
4330 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4331 [Ben Laurie]
4332
4333 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4334 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4335 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4336 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4337
4338 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4339 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4340
4341 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4342 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4343 [Bodo Moeller]
4344
4345 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4346 s_client and s_server.
4347 [Ben Laurie]
4348
4349 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4350 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4351
4352 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4353 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4354
4355 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4356 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4357 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4358 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4359 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4360 [Bodo Moeller]
4361
4362 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4363
4364 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4365 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4366 [PR #1679]
4367
4368 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4369 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4370 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4371
4372 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4373 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4374 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4375 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4376
4377 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4378 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4379
4380 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4381
4382 *) Various precautionary measures:
4383
4384 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4385
4386 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4387 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4388 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4389
4390 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4391 outside the expected range.
4392
4393 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4394 builds.
4395
4396 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4397
4398 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4399 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4400 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4401
4402 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4403 [Steve Henson]
4404
4405 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4406 [Huang Ying]
4407
4408 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4409
4410 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4411 [Steve Henson]
4412
4413 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4414 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4415 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4416
4417 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4418 [Steve Henson]
4419
4420 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4421 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4422 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4423 files.
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4427
4428 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4429 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4430 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4431 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4432
4433 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4434 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4435 [Joe Orton]
4436
4437 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4438
4439 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4440 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4441 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4442
4443 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4444
4445 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4446 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4447 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4448 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4449 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4450
4451 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4452 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4453 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4454 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4455 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4456 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4457 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4458
4459 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4460
4461 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4462 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4463 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4464 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4465 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4466
4467 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4468 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4469
4470 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4471 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4472 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4473 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4474 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4475
4476 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4477
4478 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4479 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4480 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4481 sets may exist with different names.
4482 [Steve Henson]
4483
4484 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4485 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4486 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4487 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4488 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4489 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4490 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4491 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4492 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4493 implementation.
4494 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4495
4496 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4497 implementation in the following ways:
4498
4499 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4500 hard coded.
4501
4502 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4503 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4504 ignored for embedded content.
4505
4506 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4507 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4508 [Steve Henson]
4509
4510 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4511 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4512 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4513 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4514
4515 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4516 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4517 [Steve Henson]
4518
4519 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4520 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4521 [Steve Henson]
4522
4523 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4524 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4525 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4526 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4527 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4528 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4529 data.
4530 [Steve Henson]
4531
4532 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4533 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4534 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4535
4536 *) Netware support:
4537
4538 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4539 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4540 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4541 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4542 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4543 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4544 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4545 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4546 platform
4547 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4548 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4549 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4550 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4551 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4552 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4553 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4554
4555 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4556 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4557 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4558 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4559 to s_client and s_server.
4560 [Steve Henson]
4561
4562 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4563
4564 *) Fix various bugs:
4565 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4566 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4567 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4568 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4569 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4570
4571 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4572
4573 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4574 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4575 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4576 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4577 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4578 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4579 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4580 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4581 [Andy Polyakov]
4582
4583 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4584 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4585 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4586 Steve Henson]
4587
4588 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4589 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4590 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4591 supported.
4592
4593 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4594 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4595 SSL_SESSION.
4596
4597 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4598 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4599 with no application modification.
4600
4601 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4602 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4603
4604 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4605 or server extensions to be examined.
4606
4607 This work was sponsored by Google.
4608 [Steve Henson]
4609
4610 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4611 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4612 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4613 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4614 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4615 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4616 server_name extension.
4617
4618 New functions (subject to change):
4619
4620 SSL_get_servername()
4621 SSL_get_servername_type()
4622 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4623
4624 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4625
4626 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4627 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4628 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4629 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4630 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4631
4632 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4633
4634 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4635 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4636 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4637 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4638 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4639 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4640 option.
4641
4642 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4643
4644 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4645 [Steve Henson]
4646
4647 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4648 [Andy Polyakov]
4649
4650 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4651 (which previously caused an internal error).
4652 [Bodo Moeller]
4653
4654 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4655 [Ben Laurie]
4656
4657 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4658 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4659
4660 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4661 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4662 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4663
4664 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4665 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4666 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4667 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4668
4669 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4670 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4671 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4672 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4673
4674 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4675 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4676 information. For detailed background information, see
4677 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4678 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4679 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4680 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4681 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4682 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4683 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4684 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4685 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4686 remove a conditional branch.
4687
4688 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4689 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4690 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4691 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4692 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4693 remains as a deprecated alias.
4694
4695 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4696 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4697 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4698 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4699
4700 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4701 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4702 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4703 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4704 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4705 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4706 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4707 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4708
4709 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4710
4711 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4712 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4713 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4714 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4715 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4716 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4717 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4718 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4719 in a different context.
4720 [Bodo Moeller]
4721
4722 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4723 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4724 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4725 [Bodo Moeller]
4726
4727 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4728 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4729 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4730
4731 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4732
4733 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4734 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4735 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4736 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4737 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4738 [Victor Duchovni]
4739
4740 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4741 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4742 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4743 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4744 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4745 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4746 [Bodo Moeller]
4747
4748 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4749 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4750 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4751 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4752 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4753 [Bodo Moeller]
4754
4755 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4756 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4757
4758 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4759 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4760 Improve header file function name parsing.
4761 [Steve Henson]
4762
4763 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4764 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4765 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4766
4767 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4768
4769 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4770 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4771 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4772
4773 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4774 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4775
4776 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4777 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4778
4779 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4780 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4781 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4782
4783 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4784 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4785 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4786 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4787 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4788 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4789 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4790 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4791 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4792
4793 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4794 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4795 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4796 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4797 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4798
4799 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4800 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4801 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4802 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4803 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4804 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4805 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4806 multiple values to extend the available space.
4807
4808 [Bodo Moeller]
4809
4810 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4811
4812 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4813 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4814
4815 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4816 [Ben Laurie]
4817
4818 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4819 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4820 undesirable limitations.
4821 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4822
4823 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4824 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4825 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4826 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4827 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4828 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4829 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4830 [Bodo Moeller]
4831
4832 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4833
4834 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4835 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4836 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4837
4838 The latter two were purportedly from
4839 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4840 appear there.
4841
4842 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4843 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4844 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4845 [Bodo Moeller]
4846
4847 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4848 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4849 [Bodo Moeller]
4850
4851 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4852 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4853 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4854 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4855
4856 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4857 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4858 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4859 [NTT]
4860
4861 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4862 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4863 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4864 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4865 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4866 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4867 [Steve Henson]
4868
4869 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4870
4871 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4872 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4873 [Steve Henson]
4874
4875 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4876 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4877
4878 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4879 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4880 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4881 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4882 [Douglas Stebila]
4883
4884 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4885 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4886 [Steve Henson]
4887
4888 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4889 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4890 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4891 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4892 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4893 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4894 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4895 can't be loaded.
4896 [Steve Henson]
4897
4898 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4899 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4900 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4901 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4902 [Steve Henson]
4903
4904 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4905 under VC++ build system.
4906 [Steve Henson]
4907
4908 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4909 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4910 [Richard Levitte]
4911
4912 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4913
4914 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4915 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4916 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4917 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4918 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4919
4920 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4921 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4922 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4923
4924 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4925 [Steve Henson]
4926
4927 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4928 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4929 [Nils Larsch]
4930
4931 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4932 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4933
4934 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4935 [Nick Mathewson]
4936
4937 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4938 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4939
4940 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4941 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4942 [Steve Henson]
4943
4944 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4945 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4946 smime utility.
4947 [Steve Henson]
4948
4949 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4950
4951 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4952 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4953
4954 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4955 [Richard Levitte]
4956
4957 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4958 key into the same file any more.
4959 [Richard Levitte]
4960
4961 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4962 [Andy Polyakov]
4963
4964 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4965 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4966
4967 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4968 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4969 [Richard Levitte]
4970
4971 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4972 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4973 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4974 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4975 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4976 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4977
4978 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4979 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4980 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4981 [Steve Henson]
4982
4983 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4984 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4985 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4986 - add new function for parameter creation
4987 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4988 BN_BLINDING parameters
4989 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4990 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4991 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4992 threads.
4993 [Nils Larsch]
4994
4995 *) Add support for DTLS.
4996 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4997
4998 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4999 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5000 [Walter Goulet]
5001
5002 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5003 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5004 [Nils Larsch]
5005
5006 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5007 the apps/openssl applications.
5008 [Nils Larsch]
5009
5010 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5011 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5012 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5013 [Ben Laurie]
5014
5015 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5016 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5017
5018 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5019 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5020
5021 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5022 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5023 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5024 avoid this algorithm.)
5025
5026 [Bodo Moeller]
5027
5028 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5029 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5030 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5031 [Richard Levitte]
5032
5033 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5034 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5035 [Andy Polyakov]
5036
5037 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5038 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5039 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5040 pod file:
5041
5042 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5043
5044 The blank line is mandatory.
5045
5046 [Steve Henson]
5047
5048 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5049 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5050 sources.
5051 [Steve Henson]
5052
5053 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5054 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5055
5056 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5057 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5058 to support policy checking and print out.
5059 [Steve Henson]
5060
5061 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5062 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5063 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5064 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5065
5066 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5067 [Geoff Thorpe]
5068
5069 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5070 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5071
5072 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5073 implementation contributed by IBM.
5074 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5075
5076 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5077 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5078 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5079 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5080
5081 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5082 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5083
5084 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5085 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5086 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5087 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5088 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5089 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5090 [Steve Henson]
5091
5092 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5093 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5094 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5095 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5096 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5097 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5098 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5099 [Geoff Thorpe]
5100
5101 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5102 [Steve Henson]
5103
5104 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5105 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5106 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5107 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5108 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5109 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5110 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5111 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5112 [Steve Henson]
5113
5114 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5115 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5116 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5117 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5118 [Steve Henson]
5119
5120 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5121 syntax:
5122
5123 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5124 [Steve Henson]
5125
5126 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5127 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5128 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5129 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5130 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5131 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5132 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5133 [Geoff Thorpe]
5134
5135 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5136 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5137 [Geoff Thorpe]
5138
5139 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5140 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5141 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5142 [Steve Henson]
5143
5144 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5145 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5146 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5147 below).
5148 [Geoff Thorpe]
5149
5150 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5151 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5152 [Richard Levitte]
5153
5154 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5155 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5156 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5157 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5158 [Geoff Thorpe]
5159
5160 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5161 initialised value as BN_new().
5162 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5163
5164 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5165 [Steve Henson]
5166
5167 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5168 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5169 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5170 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5171 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5172 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5173 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5174 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5175 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5176 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5177 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5178 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5179 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5180 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5181 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5182
5183 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5184 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5185 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5186 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5187 [Geoff Thorpe]
5188
5189 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5190 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5191 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5192 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5193 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5194 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5195 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5196 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5197 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5198 [Geoff Thorpe]
5199
5200 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5201 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5202 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5203 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5204 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5205 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5206 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5207 [Geoff Thorpe]
5208
5209 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5210 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5211 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5212 these have been updated also.
5213 [Geoff Thorpe]
5214
5215 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5216 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5217 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5218 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5219 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5220 functions.
5221 [Steve Henson]
5222
5223 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5224 structure of type "other".
5225 [Steve Henson]
5226
5227 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5228 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5229 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5230 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5231 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5232 situation in the script.
5233 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5234
5235 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5236 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5237 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5238 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5239 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5240 used as premaster secret.
5241 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5242
5243 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5244 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5245 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5246
5247 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5248 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5249
5250 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5251 control of the error stack.
5252 [Richard Levitte]
5253
5254 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5255 [Richard Levitte]
5256
5257 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5258 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5259 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5260 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5261 [Richard Levitte]
5262
5263 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5264 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5265 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5266 [Richard Levitte]
5267
5268 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5269 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5270 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5271 a memory area.
5272 [Richard Levitte]
5273
5274 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5275 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5276 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5277 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5278 [Richard Levitte]
5279
5280 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5281 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5282 the following flags are defined:
5283
5284 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5285 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5286 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5287 number.
5288
5289 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5290 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5291 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5292 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5293 returns zero.
5294 [Richard Levitte]
5295
5296 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5297 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5298 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5299 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5300 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5301 [Richard Levitte]
5302
5303 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5304 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5305 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5306 [Richard Levitte]
5307
5308 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5309 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5310 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5311 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5312 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5313 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5314 [Richard Levitte]
5315
5316 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5317 req and dirName.
5318 [Steve Henson]
5319
5320 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5321 [Steve Henson]
5322
5323 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5324 [Steve Henson]
5325
5326 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5327 [Steve Henson]
5328
5329 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5330 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5331 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5332 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5333 default implementation more easily.
5334 [Geoff Thorpe]
5335
5336 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5337 in config files.
5338 [Steve Henson]
5339
5340 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5341 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5342 [Richard Levitte]
5343
5344 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5345 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5346 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5347 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5348
5349 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5350 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5351 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5352 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5353 [Steve Henson]
5354
5355 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5356 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5357 to do it.
5358 [Richard Levitte]
5359
5360 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5361 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5362 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5363 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5364 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5365 scalar * generator).
5366 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5367
5368 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5369 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5370 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5371 correctly.
5372 [Steve Henson]
5373
5374 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5375 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5376 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5377 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5378 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5379 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5380 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5381 linker additions, eg;
5382 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5383 [Geoff Thorpe]
5384
5385 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5386 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5387 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5388 [Geoff Thorpe]
5389
5390 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5391 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5392 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5393 via PR#459)
5394 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5395
5396 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5397 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5398 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5399 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5400 [Geoff Thorpe]
5401
5402 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5403 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5404 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5405 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5406 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5407 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5408 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5409 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5410 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5411 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5412
5413 Example for using the new callback interface:
5414
5415 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5416 void *my_arg = ...;
5417 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5418
5419 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5420
5421 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5422 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5423 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5424 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5425 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5426 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5427 */
5428
5429 [Geoff Thorpe]
5430
5431 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5432 available to TLS with the number defined in
5433 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5434 [Richard Levitte]
5435
5436 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5437 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5438
5439 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5440 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5441 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5442 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5443
5444 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5445 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5446
5447 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5448 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5449 well.
5450 [Richard Levitte]
5451
5452 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5453 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5454 [Richard Levitte]
5455
5456 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5457 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5458 and a macro that behave like
5459 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5460
5461 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5462 [Nils Larsch]
5463
5464 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5465 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5466 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5467 if applicable.
5468 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5469
5470 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5471 [Bodo Moeller]
5472
5473 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5474 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5475 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5476 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5477 directory engines/.
5478 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5479 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5480 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5481 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5482 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5483 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5484 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5485 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5486
5487 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5488 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5489 [Richard Levitte]
5490
5491 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5492 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5493
5494 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5495 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5496 files while avoiding the low level API.
5497
5498 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5499 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5500 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5501 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5502
5503 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5504 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5505 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5506 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5507 instead of the low level API.
5508 [Steve Henson]
5509
5510 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5511 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5512 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5513 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5514 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5515 PKCS#7 code.
5516
5517 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5518 down to the template encoder.
5519 [Steve Henson]
5520
5521 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5522 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5523 [Bodo Moeller]
5524
5525 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5526 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5527 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5528 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5529
5530 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5531 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5532
5533 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5534 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5535
5536 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5537 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5538 [Bodo Moeller]
5539
5540 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5541 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5542 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5543 [Bodo Moeller]
5544
5545 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5546 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5547
5548 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5549 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5550
5551 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5552 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5553 New EC_METHOD:
5554
5555 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5556
5557 New API functions:
5558
5559 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5560 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5561 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5562 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5563 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5564 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5565
5566 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5567 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5568 enable it).
5569
5570 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5571 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5572 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5573 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5574 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5575 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5576 various internal method names.)
5577
5578 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5579 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5580
5581 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5582 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5583
5584 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5585 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5586
5587 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5588 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5589 methods are undefined.
5590
5591 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5592 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5593
5594 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5595 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5596 length of the modulus.
5597
5598 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5599 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5600
5601 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5602 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5603
5604 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5605 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5606
5607 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5608 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5609 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5610
5611 BN_GF2m_add
5612 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5613 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5614 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5615 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5616 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5617 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5618 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5619 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5620 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5621
5622 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5623 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5624
5625 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5626 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5627 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5628 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5629 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5630 where
5631 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5632 This applies to the following functions:
5633
5634 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5635 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5636 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5637 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5638 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5639 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5640 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5641 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5642 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5643 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5644
5645 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5646
5647 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5648 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5649
5650 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5651
5652 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5653 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5654 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5655 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5656 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5657
5658 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5659 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5660
5661 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5662 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5663 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5664
5665 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5666 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5667
5668 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5669 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5670 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5671 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5672 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5673
5674 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5675 functions
5676 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5677 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5678 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5679 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5680 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5681 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5682 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5683 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5684 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5685 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5686 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5687 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5688
5689 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5690 functions
5691 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5692 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5693 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5694 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5695 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5696
5697 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5698 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5699 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5700 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5701
5702 *) Add functions
5703 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5704 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5705 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5706 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5707 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5708 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5709 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5710
5711 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5712 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5713 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5714 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5715 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5716 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5717 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5718 adding different types of curves.
5719 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5720
5721 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5722 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5723 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5724 [Bodo Moeller]
5725
5726 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5727 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5728
5729 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5730 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5731 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5732 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5733
5734 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5735
5736 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5737 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5738
5739 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5740 library. Most notably,
5741 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5742 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5743 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5744 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5745 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5746 extracted before the specific public key;
5747 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5748 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5749
5750 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5751 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5752 function
5753 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5754 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5755 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5756 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5757 accessed via
5758 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5759 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5760 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5761
5762 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5763 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5764 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5765 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5766 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5767 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5768 differing sizes.
5769 [Richard Levitte]
5770
5771 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5772
5773 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5774 sensitive data.
5775 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5776
5777 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5778 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5779 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5780 [Bodo Moeller]
5781
5782 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5783 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5784 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5785 [Victor Duchovni]
5786
5787 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5788 [Steve Henson]
5789
5790 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5791 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5792 [Steve Henson]
5793
5794 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5795 run algorithm test programs.
5796 [Steve Henson]
5797
5798 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5799 [Steve Henson]
5800
5801 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5802 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5803 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5804 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5805 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5806 [Bodo Moeller]
5807
5808 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5809 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5810 [Steve Henson]
5811
5812 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5813
5814 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5815 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5816 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5817
5818 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5819 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5820
5821 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5822 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5823
5824 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5825 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5826 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5827
5828 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5829 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5830 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5831 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5832 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5833 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5834 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5835 [Bodo Moeller]
5836
5837 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5838
5839 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5840 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5841
5842 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5843 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5844 undesirable limitations.
5845 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5846
5847 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5848
5849 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5850 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5851 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5852
5853 The latter two were purportedly from
5854 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5855 appear there.
5856
5857 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5858 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5859 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5860 [Bodo Moeller]
5861
5862 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5863 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5864 [Bodo Moeller]
5865
5866 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5867
5868 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5869 module in FIPS mode.
5870 [Steve Henson]
5871
5872 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5873 [Steve Henson]
5874
5875 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5876 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5877 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5878 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5879 [Steve Henson]
5880
5881 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5882
5883 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5884 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5885 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5886 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5887 the difference induced by this change.
5888 [Andy Polyakov]
5889
5890 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5891
5892 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5893 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5894 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5895 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5896 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5897
5898 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5899 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5900 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5901
5902 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5903 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5904 [Steve Henson]
5905
5906 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5907 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5908 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5909 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5910 biased k.)
5911 [Bodo Moeller]
5912
5913 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5914 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5915 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5916 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5917 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5918
5919 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5920 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5921 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5922 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5923 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5924 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5925
5926 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5927
5928 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5929 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5930 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5931 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5932 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5933 [Bodo Moeller]
5934
5935 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5936 clients need.
5937 [Steve Henson]
5938
5939 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5940 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5941 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5942 [Steve Henson]
5943
5944 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5945 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5946 structures constant.
5947 [Steve Henson]
5948
5949 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5950
5951 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5952 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5953
5954 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5955 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5956 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5957 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5958 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5959 some needed definitions.
5960 [Steve Henson]
5961
5962 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5963 [Ulf Möller]
5964
5965 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5966 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5967 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5968 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5969 [Richard Levitte]
5970
5971 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5972
5973 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5974 server and client random values. Previously
5975 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5976 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5977
5978 This change has negligible security impact because:
5979
5980 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5981 data.
5982
5983 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5984 handshake.
5985
5986 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5987 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5988 values.
5989
5990 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5991 to our attention.
5992
5993 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5994
5995 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5996 [Ulf Möller]
5997
5998 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5999 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6000 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6001
6002 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6003 [Steve Henson]
6004
6005 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6006 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6007 [Andy Polyakov]
6008
6009 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6010 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6011 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6012
6013 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6014 [Steve Henson]
6015
6016 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6017 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6018 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6019 certificates.
6020 [Steve Henson]
6021
6022 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6023 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6024 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6025 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6026
6027 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6028 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6029 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6030 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6031 been given)
6032 [Richard Levitte]
6033
6034 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6035
6036 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6037 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6038 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6039 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6040 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6041 [Steve Henson]
6042
6043 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6044 [Steve Henson]
6045
6046 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6047 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6048
6049 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6050 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6051 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6052 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6053 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6054 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6055 rather than being initialized to 1.
6056 [Steve Henson]
6057
6058 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6059
6060 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6061 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6062 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6063
6064 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6065 (CVE-2004-0112)
6066 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6067
6068 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6069 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6070 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6071 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6072 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6073 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6074 [Richard Levitte]
6075
6076 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6077 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6078 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6079 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6080 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6081 for these cases.
6082 [Steve Henson]
6083
6084 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6085 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6086 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6087 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6088 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6089 [Steve Henson]
6090
6091 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6092 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6093 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6094 < 0.9.7.
6095 [Steve Henson]
6096
6097 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6098 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6099
6100 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6101 [Steve Henson]
6102
6103 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6104
6105 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6106
6107 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6108 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6109
6110 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6111
6112 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6113 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6114
6115 [Steve Henson]
6116
6117 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6118 exiting on the first error in a request.
6119 [Steve Henson]
6120
6121 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6122 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6123 specifications.
6124 [Steve Henson]
6125
6126 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6127 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6128 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6129 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6130
6131 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6132 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6133 [Richard Levitte]
6134
6135 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6136 blocks during encryption.
6137 [Richard Levitte]
6138
6139 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6140 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6141 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6142 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6143 certain size.
6144 [Steve Henson]
6145
6146 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6147 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6148 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6149 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6150 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6151 parser.
6152 [Steve Henson]
6153
6154 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6155
6156 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6157 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6158 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6159 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6160 [Bodo Moeller]
6161
6162 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6163 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6164 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6165 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6166 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6167
6168 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6169 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6170 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6171 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6172 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6173 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6174 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6175 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6176 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6177 [Bodo Moeller]
6178
6179 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6180 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6181 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6182 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6183 [Geoff Thorpe]
6184
6185 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6186 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6187 [Ulf Moeller]
6188
6189 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6190
6191 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6192 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6193 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6194 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6195 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6196
6197 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6198 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6199 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6200
6201 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6202 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6203 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6204 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6205 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6206
6207 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6208 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6209 used by default when no-err is given.
6210 [Richard Levitte]
6211
6212 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6213 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6214
6215 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6216 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6217 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6218 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6219 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6220
6221 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6222 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6223 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6224 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6225
6226 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6227
6228 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6229
6230 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6231
6232 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6233 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6234 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6235 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6236 root is omitted).
6237 [Steve Henson]
6238
6239 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6240 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6241
6242 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6243 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6244 [Steve Henson]
6245
6246 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6247 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6248 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6249 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6250 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6251
6252 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6253 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6254 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6255 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6256 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6257 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6258 followup to PR #377.
6259 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6260
6261 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6262 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6263 [Andy Polyakov]
6264
6265 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6266 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6267 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6268 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6269
6270 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6271
6272 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6273 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6274
6275 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6276 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6277 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6278 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6279 client and server.
6280 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6281 PR #377.
6282 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6283
6284 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6285 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6286 removed entirely.
6287 [Richard Levitte]
6288
6289 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6290 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6291 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6292 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6293 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6294 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6295 of libcrypto.
6296 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6297 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6298 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6299 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6300 have to be made anyway).
6301 [Richard Levitte]
6302
6303 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6304 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6305 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6306 [Steve Henson]
6307
6308 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6309 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6310 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6311 [Richard Levitte]
6312
6313 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6314 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6315 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6316
6317 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6318 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6319 edit numbers of the version.
6320 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6321
6322 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6323 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6324 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6325
6326 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6327 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6328
6329 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6330 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6331 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6332
6333 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6334 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6335
6336 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6337 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6338
6339 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6340 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6341
6342 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6343 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6344
6345 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6346 overflows.
6347 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6348
6349 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6350 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6352
6353 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6354 representations in a platform independent manner.
6355 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6356
6357 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6358 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6359 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6360
6361 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6362 indents.
6363 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6364
6365 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6366 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6367
6368 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6369 full. Fixed.
6370 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6371
6372 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6373 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6374 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6375
6376 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6377 unconditionally).
6378 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6379
6380 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6381 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6382
6383 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6384 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6385
6386 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6387 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6388
6389 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6390 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6391
6392 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6393 CBCParameter.
6394 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6395
6396 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6397 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6398
6399 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6400 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6401
6402 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6403 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6404 exploitable.
6405 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6406
6407 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6408 the 0.9.6 release series:
6409
6410 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6411 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6412 (CVE-2002-0657)
6413 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6414
6415 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6416 [Richard Levitte]
6417
6418 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6419 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6420
6421 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6422 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6423
6424 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6425 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6426 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6427 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6428
6429 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6430 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6431 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6432
6433 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6434 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6435 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6436 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6437
6438 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6439 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6440 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6441 some local tweaks:
6442
6443 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6444 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6445 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6446 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6447 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6448 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6449 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6450 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6451 done
6452
6453 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6454 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6455 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6456 [Richard Levitte]
6457
6458 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6459 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6460 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6461 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6462 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6463
6464 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6465 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6466
6467 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6468 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6469 [Richard Levitte]
6470
6471 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6472 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6473 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6474 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6475 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6476 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6477 [Steve Henson]
6478
6479 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6480 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6481 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6482 [Steve Henson]
6483
6484 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6485 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6486 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6487
6488 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6489 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6490 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6491 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6492 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6493 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6494 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6495 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6496
6497 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6498 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6499 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6500 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6501 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6502 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6503 [Steve Henson]
6504
6505 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6506 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6507 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6508 declaration has been changed from
6509 int (*cb)()
6510 into
6511 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6512 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6513 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6514 has been changed into
6515 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6516
6517 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6518 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6519 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6520
6521 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6522 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6523
6524 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6525 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6526 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6527 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6528 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6529 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6530 always load it have also been added.
6531 [Steve Henson]
6532
6533 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6534 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6535 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6536
6537 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6538
6539 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6540 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6541 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6542
6543 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6544 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6545 command line option can be used to specify an
6546 alternative file.
6547 [Steve Henson]
6548
6549 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6550 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6551 [Steve Henson]
6552
6553 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6554 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6555 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6556 [Steve Henson]
6557
6558 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6559 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6560 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6561 to work with the new engine framework.
6562 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6563
6564 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6565 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6566 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6567 to work with the new engine framework.
6568 [Richard Levitte]
6569
6570 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6571 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6572 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6573
6574 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6575 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6576
6577 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6578 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6579 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6580 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6581 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6582 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6583
6584 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6585 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6586
6587 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6588 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6589
6590 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6591 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6592 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6593 [Ben Laurie]
6594
6595 *) Add new functions
6596 ERR_peek_last_error
6597 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6598 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6599 These are similar to
6600 ERR_peek_error
6601 ERR_peek_error_line
6602 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6603 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6604 still in the error queue.
6605 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6606
6607 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6608 like:
6609 default_algorithms = ALL
6610 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6611 [Steve Henson]
6612
6613 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6614 [Steve Henson]
6615
6616 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6617 [Steve Henson]
6618
6619 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6620 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6621 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6622 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6623
6624 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6625 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6626
6627 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6628 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6629
6630 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6631 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6632 [Bodo Moeller]
6633
6634 *) New functions/macros
6635
6636 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6637 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6638 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6639 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6640
6641 to request calling a callback function
6642
6643 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6644 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6645
6646 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6647 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6648 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6649 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6650 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6651 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6652 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6653 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6654 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6655 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6656
6657 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6658 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6659 [Bodo Moeller]
6660
6661 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6662 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6663 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6664 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6665 the configuration scripts.
6666
6667 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6668 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6669 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6670
6671 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6672 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6673
6674 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6675 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6676 when reusing an existing buffer.
6677 [Bodo Moeller]
6678
6679 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6680 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6681 [Steve Henson]
6682
6683 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6684 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6685 [Ben Laurie]
6686
6687 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6688 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6689 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6690 has the same effect.
6691 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6692
6693 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6694 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6695 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6696 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6697 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6698 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6699 exception.
6700
6701 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6702 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6703 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6704 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6705
6706 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6707 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6708 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6709 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6710
6711 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6712 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6713 won't work.
6714
6715 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6716 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6717 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6718 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6719 default), and then completely removed.
6720 [Richard Levitte]
6721
6722 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6723 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6724 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6725 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6726 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6727 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6728 particular extension is supported.
6729 [Steve Henson]
6730
6731 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6732 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6733 [Steve Henson]
6734
6735 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6736 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6737 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6738 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6739 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6740 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6741 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6742 requires the destination to be valid.
6743
6744 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6745 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6746 [Steve Henson]
6747
6748 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6749 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6750 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6751 [Bodo Moeller]
6752
6753 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6754 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6755
6756 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6757 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6758 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6759 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6760 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6761 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6762 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6763 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6764 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6765 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6766 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6767 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6768 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6769 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6770 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6771 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6772 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6773 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6774 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6775 the new code.
6776 [Geoff Thorpe]
6777
6778 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6779 [Steve Henson]
6780
6781 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6782 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6783 become part of libeay.num as well.
6784 [Richard Levitte]
6785
6786 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6787 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6788 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6789 false once a handshake has been completed.
6790 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6791 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6792 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6793 client has followed the request.)
6794 [Bodo Moeller]
6795
6796 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6797 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6798 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6799 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6800
6801 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6802 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6803 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6804 [Bodo Moeller]
6805
6806 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6807 [Steve Henson]
6808
6809 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6810 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6811 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6812 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6813
6814 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6815 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6816 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6817
6818 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6819 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6820 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6821 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6822 [Geoff Thorpe]
6823
6824 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6825 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6826 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6827 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6828 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6829 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6830 [Geoff Thorpe]
6831
6832 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6833 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6834 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6835 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6836 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6837 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6838 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6839 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6840 [Geoff Thorpe]
6841
6842 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6843 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6844 [Geoff Thorpe]
6845
6846 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6847 [Ben Laurie]
6848
6849 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6850 md_data void pointer.
6851 [Ben Laurie]
6852
6853 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6854 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6855 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6856 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6857 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6858 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6859 [Ben Laurie]
6860
6861 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6862 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6863 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6864 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6865 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6866 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6867 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6868 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6869 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6870 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6871 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6872 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6873 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6874 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6875 rather than letting it slide.
6876
6877 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6878 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6879 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6880 [Geoff Thorpe]
6881
6882 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6883 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6884 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6885 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6886 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6887 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6888 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6889 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6890 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6891 [Geoff Thorpe]
6892
6893 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6894 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6895 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6896 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6897 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6898
6899 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6900 [Geoff Thorpe]
6901
6902 *) Add EVP test program.
6903 [Ben Laurie]
6904
6905 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6906 [Ben Laurie]
6907
6908 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6909 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6910 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6911 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6912 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6913 [Steve Henson]
6914
6915 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6916 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6917 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6918 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6919 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6920 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6921 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6922
6923 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6924 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6925 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6926 Usage example:
6927
6928 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6929
6930 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6931 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6932 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6933 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6934 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6935
6936 [Ben Laurie]
6937
6938 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6939 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6940 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6941 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6942 anyway): E.g.,
6943
6944 des_key_schedule ks;
6945
6946 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6947 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6948
6949 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6950 [Ben Laurie]
6951
6952 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6953 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6954 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6955 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6956 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6957 functions prevents this.
6958 [Steve Henson]
6959
6960 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6961 [Ben Laurie]
6962
6963 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6964 correct _ecb suffix.
6965 [Ben Laurie]
6966
6967 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6968 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6969 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6970 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6971 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6972 [Steve Henson]
6973
6974 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6975 [Richard Levitte]
6976
6977 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6978 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6979 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6980 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6981
6982 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6983 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6984
6985 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6986 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6987 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6988 via Richard Levitte]
6989
6990 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6991 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6992 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6993 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6994 [Geoff Thorpe]
6995
6996 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6997 Before:
6998 encrypt
6999 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7000 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

7007 After:

7009 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
7010 decrypt
7011 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
7012 [Ben Laurie]
7013
7014 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7015 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7016
7017 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7018 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7019 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7020 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7021 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7022 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7023 [Steve Henson]
7024
7025 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7026 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7027 [Richard Levitte]
7028
7029 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7030 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7031 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7032 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7033
7034 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7035 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7036 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7037 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7038 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7039 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7040 callback.
7041 [Richard Levitte]
7042
7043 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7044 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7045 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7046 and interrupts/cancellations.
7047 [Richard Levitte]
7048
7049 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7050 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7051 [Steve Henson]
7052
7053 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7054 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7055 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7056
7057 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7058 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7059 kind of callback.
7060 [Richard Levitte]
7061
7062 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7063 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7064 than this minimum value is recommended.
7065 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7066
7067 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7068 that are easily reachable.
7069 [Richard Levitte]
7070
7071 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7072 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7073
7074 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7075
7076 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7077 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7078 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7079 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7080 [Steve Henson]
7081
7082 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7083 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7084 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7085 [Steve Henson]
7086
7087 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7088 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7089 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7090 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7091 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7092 internally such as S/MIME.
7093
7094 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7095 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7096 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7097
7098 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7099 applications.
7100 [Steve Henson]
7101
7102 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7103 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7104 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7105 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7106
7107 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7108
7109 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7110
7111 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7112 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7113 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7114 handling.
7115 [Steve Henson]
7116
7117 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7118 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7119 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7120 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7121 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7122 a window system and the like.
7123 [Richard Levitte]
7124
7125 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7126 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7127 [Geoff]
7128
7129 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7130 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7131 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7132 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7133 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7134 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7135 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7136 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7137 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7138 ENGINE structure.
7139 [Geoff]
7140
7141 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7142 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7143 tag cache.
7144 [Steve Henson]
7145
7146 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7147 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7148 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7149 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7150 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7151 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7152 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7153 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7154 [Geoff]
7155
7156 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7157 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7158 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7159 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7160 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7161 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7162 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7163 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7164 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7165 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7166 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7167 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7168 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7169 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7170 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7171 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7172 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7173 [Geoff]
7174
7175 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7176 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7177 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7178 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7179 internal engine_int.h header.
7180 [Geoff]
7181
7182 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7183 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7184 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7185 modify their own ones).
7186 [Geoff]
7187
7188 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7189 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7190 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7191 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7192 later on via ctrl() commands.
7193 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7194 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7195 structural references.
7196 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7197 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7198 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7199 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7200 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7201 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7202 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7203 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7204 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7205 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7206 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7207 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7208 [Geoff]
7209
7210 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7211 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7212 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7213 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7214 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7215 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7216 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7217 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7218 [Bodo Moeller]
7219
7220 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7221 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7222 [Steve Henson]
7223
7224 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7225 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7226 [Steve Henson]
7227
7228 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7229 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7230 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7231 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7232 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7233 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7234 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7235 [Steve Henson]
7236
7237 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7238 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7239 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7240 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7241 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7242
7243 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7244 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7245 generator).
7246 [Bodo Moeller]
7247
7248 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7249
7250 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7251 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7252 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7253
7254 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7255 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7256
7257 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7258 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7259 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7260
7261 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7262 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7263
7264 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7265 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7266
7267 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7268
7269 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7270 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7271 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7272 [Bodo Moeller]
7273
7274 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7275 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7276 [Richard Levitte]
7277
7278 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7279 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7280 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7281 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7282 is 40 of more characters long.
7283 [Steve Henson]
7284
7285 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7286 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7287 pointers.
7288 [Steve Henson]
7289
7290 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7291 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7292 [Bodo Moeller]
7293
7294 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7295 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7296 might.
7297 [Steve Henson]
7298
7299 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7300
7301 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7302 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7303
7304 ASN1 error codes
7305 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7306 ...
7307 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7308 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7309 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7310 ...
7311 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7312 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7313
7314 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7315 [Bodo Moeller]
7316
7317 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7318 suffices.
7319 [Bodo Moeller]
7320
7321 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7322 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7323 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7324 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7325 and
7326 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7327
7328 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7329 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7330
7331 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7332 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7333 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7334 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7335 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7336 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7337
7338 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7339 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7340
7341 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7342 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7343
7344 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7345 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7346
7347 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7348 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7349 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7350 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7351
7352 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7353 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7354
7355 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7356 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7357
7358 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7359 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7360 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7361 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7362 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7363 [Richard Levitte]
7364
7365 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7366 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7367 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7368 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7369 [Steve Henson]
7370
7371 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7372 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7373 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7374 trust settings.
7375 [Steve Henson]
7376
7377 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7378 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7379 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7380 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7381 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7382 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7383 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7384 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7385 ocsp utility.
7386 [Steve Henson]
7387
7388 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7389 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7390 [Steve Henson]
7391
7392 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7393 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7394 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7395 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7396 [Steve Henson]
7397
7398 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7399 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7400 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7401 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7402 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7403 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7404 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7405 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7406 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7407 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7408 [Steve Henson]
7409
7410 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7411 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7412 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7413 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7414 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7415 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7416 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7417 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7418
7419 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7420 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7421 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7422 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7423 [Richard Levitte]
7424
7425 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7426 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7427 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7428 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7429 opensslconf.h.
7430 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7431 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7432 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7433 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7434 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7435 what is available.
7436 [Richard Levitte]
7437
7438 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7439 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7440 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7441 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7442 auto incremented.
7443 [Steve Henson]
7444
7445 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7446 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7447 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7448 [Steve Henson]
7449
7450 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7451 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7452 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7453 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7454 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7455 [Steve Henson]
7456
7457 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7458 [Steve Henson]
7459
7460 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7461 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7462 option to ocsp utility.
7463 [Steve Henson]
7464
7465 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7466 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7467 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7468 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7469 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7470 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7471 the request is nonce-less.
7472 [Steve Henson]
7473
7474 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7475 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7476 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7477 [Bodo Moeller]
7478
7479 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7480 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7481 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7482 [Steve Henson]
7483
7484 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7485 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7486 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7487 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7488 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7489 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7490
7491 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7492 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7493 appear to exist.
7494 [Steve Henson]
7495
7496 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7497 additional certificates supplied.
7498 [Steve Henson]
7499
7500 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7501 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7502 signature against.
7503 [Richard Levitte]
7504
7505 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7506 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7507 AES OIDs.
7508
7509 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7510 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7511 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7512 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7513 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7514 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7515 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7516 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7517 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7518
7519 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7520 request to response.
7521 [Steve Henson]
7522
7523 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7524 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7525 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7526 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7527 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7528 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7529 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7530 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7531 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7532 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7533 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7534 [Steve Henson]
7535
7536 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7537 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7538 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7539 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7540 [Steve Henson]
7541
7542 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7543 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7544
7545 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7546 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7547 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7548 [Steve Henson]
7549
7550 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7551 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7552 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7553 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7554 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7555
7556 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7557 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7558 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7559 [Steve Henson]
7560
7561 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7562 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7563 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7564 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7565 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7566 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7567 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7568 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7569
7570 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7571 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7572 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7573 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7574 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7575 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7576 [Steve Henson]
7577
7578 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7579 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7580 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7581 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7582 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7583 printout format cleaned up.
7584 [Steve Henson]
7585
7586 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7587 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7588 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7589 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7590 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7591 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7592 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7593 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7594 [Steve Henson]
7595
7596 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7597 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7598 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7599 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7600 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7601 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7602 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7603 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7604 [Steve Henson]
7605
7606 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7607 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7608 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7609 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7610 section to use.
7611 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7612
7613 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7614 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7615 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7616 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7617 [Steve Henson]
7618
7619 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7620 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7621 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7622 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7623 in the index file.
7624 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7625
7626 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7627 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7628 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7629 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7630
7631 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7632 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7633
7634 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7635 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7636 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7637 [Steve Henson]
7638
7639 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7640 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7641 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7642 [Bodo Moeller]
7643
7644 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7645 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7646 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7647 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7648 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7649 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7650 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7651 functions are provided:
7652
7653 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7654 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7655 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7656 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7657
7658 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7659 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7660 extended allocation function is enabled.
7661 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7662 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7663 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7664
7665 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7666 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7667 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7668 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7669 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7670 [Geoff Thorpe]
7671
7672 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7673 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7674 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7675 be queried.
7676 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7677 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7678 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7679 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7680
7681 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7682 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7683 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7684 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7685 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7686 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7687 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7688 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7689 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7690 [Richard Levitte]
7691
7692 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7693 provide utility functions which an application needing
7694 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7695 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7696 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7697
7698 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7699 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7700 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7701 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7702 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7703 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7704 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7705 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7706 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7707
7708 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7709 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7710 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7711 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7712 [Steve Henson]
7713
7714 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7715 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7716 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7717 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7718 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7719 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7720 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7721 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7722 will be added elsewhere.
7723 [Steve Henson]
7724
7725 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7726 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7727 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7728 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7729 [Steve Henson]
7730
7731 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7732 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7733 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7734 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7735 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7736 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7737 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7738 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7739 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7740 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7741 to produce the required SET OF.
7742 [Steve Henson]
7743
7744 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7745 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7746 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7747 [Richard Levitte]
7748
7749 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7750 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7751 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7752 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7753 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7754 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7755 [Steve Henson]
7756
7757 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7758 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7759 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7760 [Steve Henson]
7761
7762 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7763 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7764 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7765 [Richard Levitte]
7766
7767 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7768 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7769 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7770 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7771 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7772 [Steve Henson]
7773
7774 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7775 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7776 [Steve Henson]
7777
7778 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7779 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7780 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7781 certificates and CRLs.
7782 [Steve Henson]
7783
7784 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7785 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7786 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7787 [Steve Henson]
7788
7789 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7790 entries for variables.
7791 [Steve Henson]
7792
7793 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7794 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7795 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7796 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7797 [Bodo Moeller]
7798
7799 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7800 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7801 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7802 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7803 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7804 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7805 [Bodo Moeller]
7806
7807 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7808 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7809
7810 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7811 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7812 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7813 [Steve Henson]
7814
7815 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7816 print routines.
7817 [Steve Henson]
7818
7819 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7820 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7821 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7822 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7823 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7824 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7825 [Steve Henson]
7826
7827 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7828 [Steve Henson]
7829
7830 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7831 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7832 for now but they will eventually go away.
7833 [Steve Henson]
7834
7835 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7836 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7837 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7838 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7839 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7840 has also been converted to the new form.
7841 [Steve Henson]
7842
7843 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7844 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7845 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7846 for negative moduli.
7847 [Bodo Moeller]
7848
7849 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7850 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7851 [Bodo Moeller]
7852
7853 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7854 set.
7855 [Bodo Moeller]
7856
7857 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7858 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7859 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7860 type-specific callbacks.
7861 [Geoff Thorpe]
7862
7863 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7864 RFC 2712.
7865 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7866 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7867
7868 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7869 in sections depending on the subject.
7870 [Richard Levitte]
7871
7872 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7873 Windows.
7874 [Richard Levitte]
7875
7876 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7877 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7878 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7879 be handled deterministically).
7880 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7881
7882 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7883 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7884 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7885 [Bodo Moeller]
7886
7887 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7888 [Bodo Moeller]
7889
7890 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7891 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7892 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7893 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7894 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7895 [Bodo Moeller]
7896
7897 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7898 sign of the number in question.
7899
7900 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7901
7902 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7903 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7904 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7905 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7906 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7907 [Bodo Moeller]
7908
7909 *) New function BN_swap.
7910 [Bodo Moeller]
7911
7912 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7913 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7914 results on negative inputs.
7915 [Bodo Moeller]
7916
7917 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7918 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7919 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7920 [Bodo Moeller]
7921
7922 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7923 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7924 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7925 and add new functions:
7926
7927 BN_nnmod
7928 BN_mod_sqr
7929 BN_mod_add
7930 BN_mod_add_quick
7931 BN_mod_sub
7932 BN_mod_sub_quick
7933 BN_mod_lshift1
7934 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7935 BN_mod_lshift
7936 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7937
7938 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7939
7940 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7941 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7942
7943 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7944 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7945 be reduced modulo m.
7946 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7947
7948 #if 0
7949 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7950 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7951 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7952
7953 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7954 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7955 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7956 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7957 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7958 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7959 differing sizes.
7960 [Richard Levitte]
7961 #endif
7962
7963 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7964 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7965 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7966 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7967 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7968
7969 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7970 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7971 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7972 cause any problems.
7973 [Bodo Moeller]
7974
7975 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7976 [Richard Levitte]
7977
7978 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7979 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7980 [Richard Levitte]
7981
7982 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7983 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7984 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7985 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7986 time)
7987 [Richard Levitte]
7988
7989 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7990 [Richard Levitte]
7991
7992 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7993 [Richard Levitte]
7994
7995 *) Add the following functions:
7996
7997 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7998 ENGINE_load_chil()
7999 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8000 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8001 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8002
8003 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8004 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8005 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8006 libraries unless it's really needed.
8007
8008 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8009 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8010 declarations (they differed!).
8011 [Richard Levitte]
8012
8013 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8014 [Richard Levitte]
8015
8016 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8017 [Richard Levitte]
8018
8019 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8020 [Bodo Moeller]
8021
8022 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8023 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8024 [Richard Levitte]
8025
8026 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8027 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8028 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8029
8030 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8031 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8032 [Richard Levitte]
8033
8034 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8035 [Richard Levitte]
8036
8037 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8038 [Richard Levitte]
8039
8040 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8041 [Ben Laurie]
8042
8043 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8044 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8045 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8046
8047 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8048 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8049 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8050 different shared library filenames on each system.
8051 [Geoff Thorpe]
8052
8053 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8054 [Richard Levitte]
8055
8056 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8057 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8058 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8059 of two sections.
8060 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8061
8062 *) NCONF changes.
8063 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8064 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8065 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8066 binary backward compatibility.
8067 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8068 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8069 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8070 LDAP server.
8071 [Richard Levitte]
8072
8073 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8074 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8075 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8076 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8077 this case.
8078 [Steve Henson]
8079
8080 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8081 [Ben Laurie]
8082
8083 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8084 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8085 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8086 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8087 set.
8088 [Steve Henson]
8089
8090 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8091 [Richard Levitte]
8092
8093 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8094
8095 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8096 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8097 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8098
8099 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8100
8101 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8102
8103 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8104 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8105 [Steve Henson]
8106
8107 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8108
8109 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8110
8111 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8112 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8113
8114 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8115 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8116
8117 [Steve Henson]
8118
8119 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8120 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8121 specifications.
8122 [Steve Henson]
8123
8124 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8125 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8126 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8127 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8128
8129 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8130 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8131 [Richard Levitte]
8132
8133 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8134
8135 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8136 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8137 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8138 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8139 [Bodo Moeller]
8140
8141 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8142 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8143 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8144 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8145 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8146
8147 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8148 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8149 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8150 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8151 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8152 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8153 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8154 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8155 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8156 [Bodo Moeller]
8157
8158 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8159
8160 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8161 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8162 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8163 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8164 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8165
8166 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8167 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8168 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8169
8170 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8171
8172 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8173 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8174 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8175 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8176 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8177 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8178 [Geoff Thorpe]
8179
8180 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8181 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8182 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8183 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8184 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8185 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8186
8187 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8188 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8189 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8190
8191 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8192 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8193 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8194 EVP_cleanup().
8195 [Richard Levitte]
8196
8197 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8198 being properly terminated.
8199 [Richard Levitte]
8200
8201 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8202 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8203 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8204 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8205
8206 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8207 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8208 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8209 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8210 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8211 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8212 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8213 change.
8214 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8215
8216 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8217 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8218 [Bodo Moeller]
8219
8220 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8221 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8222 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8223 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8224 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8225 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8226 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8227 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8228
8229 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8230 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8231 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8232 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8233 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8234
8235 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8236 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8237 [Steve Henson]
8238
8239 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8240
8241 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8242 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8243 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8244
8245 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8246
8247 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8248 and get fix the header length calculation.
8249 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8250 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8251 Steve Henson]
8252
8253 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8254 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8255 assertions could call abort()).
8256 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8257
8258 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8259
8260 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8261 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8262 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8263 supplied buffer.
8264 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8265
8266 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8267 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8268 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8269 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8270
8271 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8272 [Nils Larsch]
8273
8274 *) New option
8275 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8276 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8277 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8278
8279 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8280 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8281 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8282 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8283 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8284 applications.
8285 [Bodo Moeller]
8286
8287 *) Changes in security patch:
8288
8289 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8290 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8291 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8292 F30602-01-2-0537.
8293
8294 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8295 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8296 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8297 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8298 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8299
8300 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8301 happen in practice.
8302 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8303
8304 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8305 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8306 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8307
8308 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8309 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8310 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8311
8312 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8313 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8314 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8315
8316 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8317
8318 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8319 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8320 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8321
8322 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8323 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8324
8325 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8326 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8327 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8328 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8329 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8330 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8331 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8332
8333 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8334 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8335 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8336 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8337 [Bodo Moeller]
8338
8339 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8340 [Bodo Moeller]
8341
8342 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8343 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8344 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8345 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8346 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8347 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8348
8349 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8350 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8351 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8352 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8353 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8354 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8355
8356 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8357 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8358 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8359 BN_generate_prime().)
8360
8361 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8362 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8363 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8364 better.
8365 [Bodo Moeller]
8366
8367 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8368 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8369 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8370
8371 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8372 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8373 when using non-blocking I/O.
8374 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8375
8376 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8377 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8378
8379 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8380 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8381 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8382
8383 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8384 configuration for the versions before that.
8385 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8386
8387 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8388 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8389 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8390 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8391 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8392
8393 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8394 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8395 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8396 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8397
8398 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8399 value is 0.
8400 [Richard Levitte]
8401
8402 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8403 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8404 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8405
8406 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8407 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8408
8409 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8410 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8411 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8412 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8413 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8414 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8415 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8416 session cache.
8417
8418 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8419 using a local variable.
8420 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8421
8422 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8423 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8424 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8425
8426 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8427 [Richard Levitte]
8428
8429 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8430 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8431
8432 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8433 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8434 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8435
8436 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8437
8438 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8439 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8440 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8441 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8442 [Bodo Moeller]
8443
8444 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8445 present.
8446 [Steve Henson]
8447
8448 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8449 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8450 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8451 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8452 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8453
8454 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8455 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8456 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8457
8458 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8459 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8460 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8461
8462 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8463 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8464 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8465 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8466
8467 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8468 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8469 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8470 modules).
8471 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8472
8473 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8474 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8475 from 0.9.7.
8476 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8477
8478 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8479 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8480 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8481 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8482
8483 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8484 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8485 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8486 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8487
8488 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8489 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8490
8491 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8492 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8493 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8494 [Bodo Moeller]
8495
8496 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8497 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8498 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8499 become invalid.
8500 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8501
8502 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8503 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8504 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8505 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8506 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8507 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8508 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8509 [Bodo Moeller]
8510
8511 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8512 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8513 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8514 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8515
8516 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8517 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8518 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8519 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8520 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8521 the client will at least see that alert.
8522 [Bodo Moeller]
8523
8524 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8525 correctly.
8526 [Bodo Moeller]
8527
8528 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8529 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8530 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8531
8532 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8533 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8534 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8535 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8536 HelloRequest.
8537
8538 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8539 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8540 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8541
8542 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8543 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8544 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8545 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8546 may leak via logfiles.)
8547
8548 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8549 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8550 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8551 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8552 the legal range.
8553 [Bodo Moeller]
8554
8555 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8556 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8557 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8558
8559 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8560 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8561 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8562 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8563 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8564 [Bodo Moeller]
8565
8566 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8567 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8568
8569 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8570 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8571 followed by modular reduction.
8572 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8573
8574 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8575 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8576 [Bodo Moeller]
8577
8578 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8579 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8580 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8581 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8582 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8583
8584 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8585 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8586
8587 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8588 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8589 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8590
8591 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8592 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8593 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8594 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8595 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8596 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8597 automatically.
8598 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8599
8600 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8601 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8602 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8603 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8604 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8605
8606 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8607 [Andy Polyakov]
8608
8609 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8610 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8611 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8612 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8613 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8614 to allow the necessary settings.
8615 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8616
8617 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8618 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8619 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8620 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8621 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8622
8623 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8624 dh->length and always used
8625
8626 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8627
8628 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8629 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8630 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8631 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8632 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8633 dh->length.
8634
8635 So switch back to
8636
8637 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8638
8639 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8640 otherwise.
8641 [Bodo Moeller]
8642
8643 *) In
8644
8645 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8646 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8647 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8648 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8649
8650 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8651 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8652 always reject numbers >= n.
8653 [Bodo Moeller]
8654
8655 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8656 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8657 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8658 variable) is not atomic.
8659 [Bodo Moeller]
8660
8661 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8662 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8663 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8664 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8665
8666 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8667 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8668
8669 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8670 little-endian MIPS.
8671 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8672
8673 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8674 [Richard Levitte]
8675
8676 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8677
8678 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8679 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8680 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8681 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8682 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8683 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8684 to traverse all of 'state'.
8685
8686 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8687 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8688 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8689
8690 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8691 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8692
8693 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8694 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8695 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8696 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8697 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8698 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8699 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8700 further strengthens the PRNG.
8701 [Bodo Moeller]
8702
8703 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8704 [Andy Polyakov]
8705
8706 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8707 an error message in this case.
8708 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8709
8710 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8711 [Steve Henson]
8712
8713 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8714 positive and less than q.
8715 [Bodo Moeller]
8716
8717 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8718 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8719 that itself.
8720 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8721
8722 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8723 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8724 [Bodo Moeller]
8725
8726 *) Fix OAEP check.
8727 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8728
8729 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8730 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8731 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8732 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8733 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8734 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8735 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8736 paper.)
8737
8738 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8739 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8740 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8741 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8742
8743 Both problems are now fixed.
8744 [Bodo Moeller]
8745
8746 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8747 (previously it was 1024).
8748 [Bodo Moeller]
8749
8750 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8751 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8752 [Steve Henson]
8753
8754 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8755 [Steve Henson]
8756
8757 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8758 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8759 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8760 [Steve Henson]
8761
8762 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8763 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8764 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8765 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8766 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8767 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8768 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8769 environment variables.
8770
8771 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8772 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8773 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8774 [Bodo Moeller]
8775
8776 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8777 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8778 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8779 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8780 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8781 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8782 [Bodo Moeller]
8783
8784 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8785 versions of 'test'.
8786 [Bodo Moeller]
8787
8788 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8789
8790 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8791 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8792
8793 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8794 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8795 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8796 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8797 CygWin.
8798 [Richard Levitte]
8799
8800 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8801 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8802 amount of data available.
8803 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8804 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8805
8806 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8807 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8808 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8809 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8810 [Bodo Moeller]
8811
8812 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8813 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8814 and UnixWare.
8815 [Richard Levitte]
8816
8817 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8818 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8819 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8820 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8821 [Ulf Moeller]
8822
8823 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8824 [Andy Polyakov]
8825
8826 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8827 [Richard Levitte]
8828
8829 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8830 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8831 [Steve Henson]
8832 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8833
8834 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8835 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8836 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8837 (but broken) behaviour.
8838 [Steve Henson]
8839
8840 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8841 it when found.
8842 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8843
8844 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8845 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8846 [Bodo Moeller]
8847
8848 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8849 did not exist.
8850 [Bodo Moeller]
8851
8852 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8853 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8854
8855 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8856 [Richard Levitte]
8857
8858 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8859 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8860 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8861
8862 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8863 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8864 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8865 [Steve Henson]
8866
8867 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8868 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8869 [Ulf Moeller]
8870
8871 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8872 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8873
8874 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8875
8876 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8877
8878 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8879 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8880 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8881 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8882 [Bodo Moeller]
8883
8884 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8885 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8886
8887 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8888 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8889 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8890
8891 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8892 was empty.
8893 [Steve Henson]
8894 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8895
8896 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8897 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8898 but the code is actually correct.
8899 [Steve Henson]
8900
8901 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8902 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8903 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8904 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8905 and leaves the highest bit random.
8906 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8907
8908 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8909 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8910 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8911 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8912 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8913 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8914 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8915 [Bodo Moeller]
8916
8917 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8918 [Ulf Moeller]
8919
8920 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8921 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8922 [Steve Henson]
8923
8924 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8925 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8926 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8927 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8928 headers.
8929 [Richard Levitte]
8930
8931 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8932 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8933 and break the signature.
8934 [Steve Henson]
8935 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8936
8937 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8938 DH ciphersuites.
8939 [Steve Henson]
8940
8941 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8942 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8943 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8944 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8945 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8946 [Bodo Moeller]
8947
8948 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8949 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8950
8951 *) ./config script fixes.
8952 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8953
8954 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8955 [Bodo Moeller]
8956
8957 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8958 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8959 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8960 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8961 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8962
8963 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8964 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8965 [Bodo Moeller]
8966
8967 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8968 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8969 [Steve Henson]
8970
8971 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8972 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8973 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8974 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8975
8976 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8977 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8978
8979 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8980 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8981 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8982 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8983 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8984
8985 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8986 [Bodo Moeller]
8987
8988 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8989 [Ulf Möller]
8990
8991 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8992 [Ulf Möller]
8993
8994 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8995 [Bodo Moeller]
8996
8997 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8998 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8999 [Bodo Moeller]
9000
9001 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9002 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9003 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9004 result of the server certificate verification.)
9005 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9006
9007 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9008 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9009 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9010 [Bodo Moeller]
9011
9012 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9013 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9014 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9015 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9016 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9017 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9018 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9019 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9020 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9021 [Bodo Moeller]
9022
9023 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9024 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9025 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9026 happening the other way round.
9027 [Geoff Thorpe]
9028
9029 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9030 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9031 [Bodo Moeller]
9032
9033 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9034 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9035 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9036 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9037 [Richard Levitte]
9038
9039 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9040 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9041
9042 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9043
9044 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9045 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9046 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9047 that.
9048
9049 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9050
9051 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9052
9053 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9054 static ones.
9055 [Richard Levitte]
9056
9057 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9058
9059 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9060 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9061 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9062 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9063 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9064
9065 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9066 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9067 matter what.
9068 [Richard Levitte]
9069
9070 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9071 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9072
9073 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9074
9075 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9076 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9077 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9078 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9079 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9080 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9081 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9082 by the Finished messages.
9083 [Bodo Moeller]
9084
9085 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9086 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9087
9088 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9089 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9090 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9091 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9092 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9093 appropriately.
9094 [Steve Henson]
9095
9096 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9097 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9098 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9099 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9100 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9101 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9102 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9103 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9104 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9105 together.
9106 [Steve Henson]
9107
9108 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9109 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9110 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9111 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9112
9113 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9114 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9115 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9116 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9117 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9118 the answer.
9119
9120 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9121 been tested well enough.
9122 [Richard Levitte]
9123
9124 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9125 it can return incorrect results.
9126 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9127 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9128 [Bodo Moeller]
9129
9130 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9131 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9132 include zero length content when signing messages.
9133 [Steve Henson]
9134
9135 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9136 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9137 [Bodo Möller]
9138
9139 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9140 [Richard Levitte]
9141
9142 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9143 wrong sign.
9144 [Ulf Möller]
9145
9146 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9147 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9148 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9149 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9150 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9151 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9152 [Richard Levitte]
9153
9154 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9155 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9156
9157 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9158 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9159
9160 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9161 random number < q in the DSA library.
9162 [Ulf Möller]
9163
9164 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9165 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9166 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9167 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9168 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9169 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9170 just makes things more complicated.)
9171 [Bodo Moeller]
9172
9173 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9174 from EGD.
9175 [Ben Laurie]
9176
9177 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9178 work better on such systems.
9179 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9180
9181 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9182 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9183 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9184 [Steve Henson]
9185
9186 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9187 if there was more than one signature.
9188 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9189
9190 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9191 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9192 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9193 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9194 [Richard Levitte]
9195
9196 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9197 rather than always using the current time.
9198 [Steve Henson]
9199
9200 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9201 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9202 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9203 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9204 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9205 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9206
9207 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9208 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9209
9210 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9211
9212 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9213 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9214 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9215 the same hash value.
9216
9217 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9218 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9219 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9220 with X509_STORE internally.
9221
9222 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9223 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9224
9225 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9226 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9227 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9228 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9229 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9230 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9231 entirely (maybe later...).
9232
9233 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9234
9235 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9236 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9237 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9238 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9239 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9240 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9241 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9242 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9243
9244 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9245 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9246
9247 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9248 to customise the verify behaviour.
9249 [Steve Henson]
9250
9251 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9252 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9253 [Steve Henson]
9254
9255 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9256 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9257 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9258 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9259 request is improperly encoded.
9260 [Steve Henson]
9261
9262 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9263 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9264 BIO_write(b, ...).
9265
9266 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9267 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9268
9269 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9270 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9271 words set to zero.)
9272 [Bodo Moeller]
9273
9274 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9275 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9276 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9277 [Bodo Moeller]
9278
9279 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9280 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9281 BIO/fp routines also added.
9282 [Steve Henson]
9283
9284 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9285 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9286
9287 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9288 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9289 demos/state_machine.
9290 [Ben Laurie]
9291
9292 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9293 generation and verification.
9294 [Steve Henson]
9295
9296 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9297 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9298 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9299 encode and decode it manually.
9300 [Steve Henson]
9301
9302 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9303 compile under VC++.
9304 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9305
9306 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9307 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9308 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9309 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9310
9311 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9312 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9313 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9314 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9315 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9316 [Steve Henson]
9317
9318 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9319 [Richard Levitte]
9320
9321 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9322 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9323 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9324
9325 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9326 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9327 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9328 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9329 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9330 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9331 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9332 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9333
9334 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9335 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9336
9337 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9338
9339 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9340 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9341 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9342
9343 [Richard Levitte]
9344
9345 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9346 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9347 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9348 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9349 [Richard Levitte]
9350
9351 *) MD4 implemented.
9352 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9353
9354 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9355 [Richard Levitte]
9356
9357 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9358 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9359 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9360 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9361 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9362 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9363 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9364 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9365 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9366 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9367 short or long names are found.
9368 [Steve Henson]
9369
9370 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9371 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9372
9373 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9374 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9375 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9376 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9377
9378 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9379 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9380 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9381 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9382 [Bodo Moeller]
9383
9384 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9385 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9386 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9387 [Richard Levitte]
9388
9389 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9390 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9391 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9392 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9393 to allow the various flags to be set.
9394 [Steve Henson]
9395
9396 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9397 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9398 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9399 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9400 dates to be checked.
9401 [Steve Henson]
9402
9403 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9404 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9405 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9406 [Steve Henson]
9407
9408 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9409 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9410 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9411 [Steve Henson]
9412
9413 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9414 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9415 [Bodo Moeller]
9416
9417 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9418 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9419 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9420 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9421 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9422 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9423 [Richard Levitte]
9424
9425 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9426 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9427 Random Numbers.
9428 [Ulf Möller]
9429
9430 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9431 DSA key.
9432 [Steve Henson]
9433
9434 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9435 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9436 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9437 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9438 form signing output easier to verify.
9439 [Steve Henson]
9440
9441 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9442 [Steve Henson]
9443
9444 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9445 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9446 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9447 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9448 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9449 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9450 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9451 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9452 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9453 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9454 [Steve Henson]
9455
9456 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9457
9458 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9459 the syntax given in objects.README.
9460 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9461 obj_mac.h.
9462 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9463 obj_mac.h.
9464
9465 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9466 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9467 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9468 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9469 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9470 consistent name changes.
9471 [Richard Levitte]
9472
9473 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9474 [Bodo Moeller]
9475
9476 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9477 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9478 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9479 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9480 [Richard Levitte]
9481
9482 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9483 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9484 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9485 of safestack.h .
9486 [Steve Henson]
9487
9488 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9489 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9490 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9491 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9492 [Steve Henson]
9493
9494 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9495 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9496 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9497 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9498 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9499 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9500 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9501 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9502 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9503 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9504 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9505 [Steve Henson]
9506
9507 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9508 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9509 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9510 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9511 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9512 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9513 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9514 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9515 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9516 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9517 [Steve Henson]
9518
9519 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9520 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9521 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9522 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9523
9524 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9525 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9526 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9527 omit any duplicate addresses.
9528 [Steve Henson]
9529
9530 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9531 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9532 [Bodo Moeller]
9533
9534 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9535 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9536 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9537 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9538 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9539 [Bodo Moeller]
9540
9541 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9542 software:
9543 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9544 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9545 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9546 Free => OPENSSL_free
9547 [Richard Levitte]
9548
9549 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9550 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9551 [Bodo Moeller]
9552
9553 *) CygWin32 support.
9554 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9555
9556 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9557 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9558 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9559 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9560 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9561 approach.
9562 [Geoff Thorpe]
9563
9564 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9565 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9566 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9567 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9568 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9569 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9570 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9571 [Geoff Thorpe]
9572
9573 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9574 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9575 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9576 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9577 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9578 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9579 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9580 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9581 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9582 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9583 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9584 [Bodo Moeller]
9585
9586 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9587 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9588 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9589 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9590 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9591
9592 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9593 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9594 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9595 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9596 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9597
9598 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9599 ciphers.
9600
9601 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9602 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9603 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9604 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9605
9606 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9607
9608 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9609 of macros.
9610
9611 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9612 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9613 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9614 flags.
9615
9616 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9617 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9618 any installed hardware versions can.
9619 [Steve Henson]
9620
9621 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9622 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9623 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9624 number.
9625 [Bodo Moeller]
9626
9627 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9628 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9629 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9630 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9631 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9632
9633 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9634 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9635 [Steve Henson]
9636
9637 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9638 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9639 [Richard Levitte]
9640
9641 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9642 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9643 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9644 features.
9645 [Steve Henson]
9646
9647 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9648 [Ulf Möller]
9649
9650 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9651 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9652 but no ssl client purpose.
9653 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9654
9655 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9656 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9657 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9658 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9659 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9660 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9661 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9662 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9663 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9664 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9665 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9666 [Steve Henson]
9667
9668 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9669 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9670 be obtained from the error queue.
9671 [Bodo Moeller]
9672
9673 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9674 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9675 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9676 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9677 [Bodo Moeller]
9678
9679 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9680 [Ulf Möller]
9681
9682 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9683 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9684 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9685 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9686 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9687 [Geoff Thorpe]
9688
9689 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9690 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9691 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9692 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9693 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9694 [Geoff Thorpe]
9695
9696 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9697 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9698 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9699 may not be NULL.
9700 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9701
9702 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9703 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9704 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9705 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9706 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9707 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9708 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9709 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9710 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9711 or "the configuration storage API"...
9712
9713 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9714
9715 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9716 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9717
9718 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9719
9720 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9721
9722 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9723 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9724 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9725 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9726 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9727 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9728 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9729
9730 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9731 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9732 [Richard Levitte]
9733
9734 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9735 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9736 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9737 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9738 [Bodo Moeller]
9739
9740 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9741 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9742 them in a portable way.
9743 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9744
9745 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9746
9747 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9748
9749 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9750 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9751
9752 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9753 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9754 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9755 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9756
9757 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9758 was larger than the MD block size.
9759 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9760
9761 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9762 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9763 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9764 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9765 components.
9766 [Steve Henson]
9767
9768 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9769 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9770 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9771
9772 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9773 discouraged.
9774 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9775
9776 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9777 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9778 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9779 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9780 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9781 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9782
9783 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9784 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9785
9786 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9787 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9788 [Bodo Moeller]
9789
9790 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9791 [Bodo Moeller]
9792
9793 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9794 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9795 its own key.
9796 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9797 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9798 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9799 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9800 [Bodo Moeller]
9801
9802 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9803 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9804 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9805 does not suppress any output.
9806 [Richard Levitte]
9807
9808 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9809 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9810 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9811 with all the associated security issues.
9812
9813 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9814 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9815 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9816 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9817 use the value in the default purpose.
9818 [Steve Henson]
9819
9820 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9821 and fix a memory leak.
9822 [Steve Henson]
9823
9824 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9825 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9826 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9827 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9828 [Bodo Moeller]
9829
9830 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9831 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9832 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9833 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9834 [Bodo Moeller]
9835
9836 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9837 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9838 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9839 [Bodo Moeller]
9840
9841 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9842 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9843 [Bodo Moeller]
9844
9845 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9846 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9847 which was free.
9848 [Steve Henson]
9849
9850 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9851 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9852 [Bodo Moeller]
9853
9854 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9855 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9856 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9857 [Bodo Moeller]
9858
9859 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9860 number generation fails.
9861 [Bodo Moeller]
9862
9863 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9864 [Bodo Moeller]
9865
9866 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9867 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9868
9869 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9870 [Ulf Möller]
9871
9872 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9873 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9874
9875 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9876 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9877
9878 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9879
9880 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9881 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9882 [Steve Henson]
9883
9884 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9885 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9886
9887 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9888 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9889 [Ulf Möller]
9890
9891 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9892 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9893 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9894 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9895 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9896 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9897
9898 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9899 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9900 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9901 for example.
9902 [Steve Henson]
9903
9904 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9905 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9906 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9907 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9908 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9909 counter, some don't.)
9910 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9911 counters or duplicate objects.
9912 [Steve Henson]
9913
9914 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9915 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9916 [Steve Henson]
9917
9918 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9919 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9920 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9921
9922 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9923 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9924 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9925 or -rand.
9926 [Ulf Möller]
9927
9928 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9929 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9930 [Steve Henson]
9931
9932 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9933 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9934 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9935 cipher list.
9936 [Steve Henson]
9937
9938 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9939 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9940 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9941 [Steve Henson]
9942
9943 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9944 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9945 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9946 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9947 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9948 should work without changes.
9949 [Richard Levitte]
9950
9951 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9952 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9953 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9954 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9955 must be defined. E.g.,
9956 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9957 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9958 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9959 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9960
9961 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9962 record layer.
9963 [Bodo Moeller]
9964
9965 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9966 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9967 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9968 [Steve Henson]
9969
9970 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9971 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9972 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9973 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9974 [Steve Henson]
9975
9976 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9977 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9978 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9979 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9980 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9981 is prompted for as usual.
9982 [Steve Henson]
9983
9984 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9985 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9986 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9987 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9988
9989 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9990 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9991 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9992 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9993 [Steve Henson]
9994
9995 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9996 [Andy Polyakov]
9997
9998 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9999 of seed file.
10000 [Steve Henson]
10001
10002 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10003 [Bodo Moeller]
10004
10005 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10006 [Steve Henson]
10007
10008 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10009 bits.
10010 [Ulf Möller]
10011
10012 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10013 [Ulf Möller]
10014
10015 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10016 [Andy Polyakov]
10017
10018 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
10019 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10020 [Ulf Möller]
10021
10022 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10023 options to produce them.
10024 [Steve Henson]
10025
10026 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10027 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10028 [Ulf Möller]
10029
10030 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10031 for p == 0.
10032 [Ulf Möller]
10033
10034 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10035 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10036 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10037 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10038 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10039 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10040 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10041 [Steve Henson]
10042
10043 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10044 [Steve Henson]
10045
10046 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10047 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10048 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10049 [Bodo Moeller]
10050
10051 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10052 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10053
10054 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10055 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10056 [Ulf Möller]
10057
10058 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10059 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10060 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10061 has already seen).
10062 [Bodo Moeller]
10063
10064 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10065 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10066
10067 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10068 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10069 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10070 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10071 generation becomes much faster.
10072
10073 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10074 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10075 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10076 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10077 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10078 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10079 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10080 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10081 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10082 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10083 [Bodo Moeller]
10084
10085 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10086 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10087 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10088 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10089 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10090 trial division stage.
10091 [Bodo Moeller]
10092
10093 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10094 as ASN1_TIME.
10095 [Steve Henson]
10096
10097 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10098 [Steve Henson]
10099
10100 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10101 [Ulf Möller]
10102
10103 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10104 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10105 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10106 the comments.
10107 [Ulf Möller]
10108
10109 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10110 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10111 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10112 [Bodo Moeller]
10113
10114 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10115 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10116 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10117 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10118
10119 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10120 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10121 [Steve Henson]
10122
10123 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10124 [Ulf Möller]
10125
10126 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10127 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10128 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10129 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10130 [Ulf Möller]
10131
10132 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10133 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10134 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10135 [Ulf Möller]
10136
10137 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10138 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10139 (instead of parameters) in future.
10140 [Steve Henson]
10141
10142 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10143 when a new cipher list is set.
10144 [Steve Henson]
10145
10146 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10147 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10148 wrong.
10149
10150 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10151 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10152 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10153
10154 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10155 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10156 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10157 an error is flagged.
10158
10159 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10160 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10161 the readability was also increased :-)
10162 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10163
10164 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10165 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10166 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10167 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10168 as the root CA.
10169 [Steve Henson]
10170
10171 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10172 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10173 [Steve Henson]
10174
10175 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10176 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10177 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10178 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10179 instead.
10180
10181 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10182 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10183 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10184 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10185 because they handle more complex structures.)
10186 [Steve Henson]
10187
10188 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10189 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10190 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10191 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10192
10193 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10194 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10195 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10196 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10197 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10198 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10199 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10200 [Ulf Möller]
10201
10202 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10203 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10204 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10205 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10206 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10207 [Bodo Moeller]
10208
10209 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10210 [Bodo Moeller]
10211
10212 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10213 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10214 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10215 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10216 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10217 to use this.
10218
10219 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10220 code.
10221 [Steve Henson]
10222
10223 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10224 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10225 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10226 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10227 [Steve Henson]
10228
10229 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10230 [Ulf Möller]
10231
10232 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10233 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10234 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10235 international characters are used.
10236
10237 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10238 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10239 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10240 in ASN1 order.
10241 [Steve Henson]
10242
10243 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10244 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10245 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10246 request.
10247
10248 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10249 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10250 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10251 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10252 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10253 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10254
10255 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10256 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10257 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10258 be handled by the string table functions.
10259
10260 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10261 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10262 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10263 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10264 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10265 types at all.
10266 [Steve Henson]
10267
10268 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10269 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10270 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10271 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10272 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10273
10274 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10275 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10276 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10277 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10278 [Bodo Moeller]
10279
10280 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10281 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10282 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10283 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10284 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10285 SHA1.
10286 [Andy Polyakov]
10287
10288 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10289 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10290 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10291 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10292 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10293 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10294 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10295 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10296
10297 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10298 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10299 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10300 [Steve Henson]
10301
10302 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10303 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10304 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10305 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10306 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10307 support to pkcs8 application.
10308 [Steve Henson]
10309
10310 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10311 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10312 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10313 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10314 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10315 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10316 [Bodo Moeller]
10317
10318 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10319 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10320 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10321 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10322 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10323 consistency.
10324 [Bodo Moeller]
10325
10326 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10327 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10328 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10329 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10330 example.
10331 [Steve Henson]
10332
10333 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10334 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10335 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10336 and any application specific purposes.
10337
10338 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10339 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10340 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10341 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10342 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10343 if the certificate is self signed.
10344 [Steve Henson]
10345
10346 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10347 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10348 [Steve Henson]
10349
10350 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10351 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10352 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10353 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10354 [Steve Henson]
10355
10356 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10357 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10358 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10359 Update documentation.
10360 [Steve Henson]
10361
10362 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10363 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10364 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10365 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10366 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10367 [Steve Henson]
10368
10369 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10370 for details.
10371 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10372
10373 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10374 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10375 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10376 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10377 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10378 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10379 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10380 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10381 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10382 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10383
10384 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10385
10386 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10387 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10388 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10389 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10390 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10391
10392 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10393 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10394 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10395 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10396 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10397 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10398 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10399 request additional information:
10400 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10401 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10402
10403 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10404 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10405 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10406 options.
10407
10408 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10409 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10410
10411 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10412 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10413 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10414
10415 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10416 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10417
10418 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10419 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10420 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10421 algorithm.
10422 [Steve Henson]
10423
10424 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10425 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10426 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10427
10428 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10429 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10430 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10431 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10432 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10433 included in OpenSSL.
10434 [Steve Henson]
10435
10436 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10437 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10438 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10439 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10440 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10441 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10442 [Bodo Moeller]
10443
10444 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10445 PKCS12 structure.
10446 [Steve Henson]
10447
10448 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10449 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10450 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10451 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10452 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10453 structure.
10454 [Steve Henson]
10455
10456 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10457 need initialising.
10458 [Steve Henson]
10459
10460 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10461 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10462 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10463 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10464 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10465 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10466 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10467 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10468 be maintained manually.
10469
10470 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10471 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10472 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10473 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10474 work because people forget to call this function]
10475 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10476 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10477 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10478 [Steve Henson]
10479
10480 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10481 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10482 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10483 should be discouraged from doing it.
10484 [Ben Laurie]
10485
10486 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10487 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10488 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10489 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10490 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10491 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10492 [Steve Henson]
10493
10494 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10495 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10496 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10497
10498 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10499 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10500 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10501
10502 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10503 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10504 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10505 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10506 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10507 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10508
10509 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10510 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10511 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10512
10513 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10514 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10515 and vice versa.
10516
10517 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10518 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10519 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10520 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10521 [Steve Henson]
10522
10523 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10524 [Steve Henson]
10525
10526 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10527 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10528 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10529 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10530 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10531 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10532 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10533 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10534 keys so we should be OK.
10535
10536 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10537 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10538 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10539 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10540 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10541 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10542 stay in the name of compatibility.
10543
10544 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10545 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10546 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10547
10548 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10549 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10550 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10551 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10552 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10553 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10554 supplied key).
10555 [Steve Henson]
10556
10557 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10558 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10559 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10560 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10561 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10562 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10563 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10564 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10565 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10566 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10567 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10568 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10569 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10570 [Steve Henson]
10571
10572 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10573 [Steve Henson]
10574
10575 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10576 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10577 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10578 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10579 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10580 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10581 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10582 openssl verify ss.pem
10583 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10584 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10585 is OK.
10586 [Steve Henson]
10587
10588 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10589 (and add it to external session representation).
10590 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10591 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10592 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10593 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10594 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10595 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10596 security holes.
10597 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10598
10599 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10600 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10601 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10602 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10603
10604 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10605 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10606 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10607 [Steve Henson]
10608
10609 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10610 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10611 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10612 code.
10613 [Steve Henson]
10614
10615 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10616 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10617 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10618
10619 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10620 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10621 certificate auxiliary information.
10622 [Steve Henson]
10623
10624 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10625 the 'enc' command.
10626 [Steve Henson]
10627
10628 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10629 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10630 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10631 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10632 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10633 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10634 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10635 [Richard Levitte]
10636
10637 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10638 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10639 [Steve Henson]
10640
10641 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10642 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10643 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10644 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10645 [Steve Henson]
10646
10647 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10648 [Steve Henson]
10649
10650 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10651 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10652 [Steve Henson]
10653
10654 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10655 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10656 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10657 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10658 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10659 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10660 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10661 using the new 'x509' options.
10662
10663 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10664 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10665 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10666 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10667 for all purposes.
10668 [Steve Henson]
10669
10670 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10671 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10672 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10673 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10674 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10675 [Mark Cox]
10676
10677 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10678 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10679 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10680 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10681 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10682 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10683 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10684 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10685 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10686 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10687 [Steve Henson]
10688
10689 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10690 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10691 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10692 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10693 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10694 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10695 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10696 [Steve Henson]
10697
10698 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10699 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10700 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10701 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10702 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10703 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10704 openssl.cnf for more info.
10705 [Steve Henson]
10706
10707 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10708 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10709 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10710 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10711 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10712 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10713 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10714 md should be large enough anyway.
10715 [Bodo Moeller]
10716
10717 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10718 for handling the random seed file.
10719
10720 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10721 ca,
10722 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10723 s_client,
10724 s_server,
10725 x509 (when signing).
10726 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10727 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10728 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10729
10730 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10731 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10732 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10733 that support '-rand'.
10734 [Bodo Moeller]
10735
10736 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10737 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10738 [Bodo Moeller]
10739
10740 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10741 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10742 [Bill Perry]
10743
10744 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10745 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10746 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10747 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10748 is suitable.
10749 [Steve Henson]
10750
10751 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10752 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10753 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10754 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10755 [Steve Henson]
10756
10757 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10758 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10759 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10760 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10761 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10762 print out all the purposes.
10763 [Steve Henson]
10764
10765 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10766 functions.
10767 [Steve Henson]
10768
10769 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10770 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10771 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10772 single function call.
10773 [Steve Henson]
10774
10775 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10776 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10777 [Andy Polyakov]
10778
10779 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10780 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10781 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10782 [Steve Henson]
10783
10784 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10785 when producing the local key id.
10786 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10787
10788 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10789 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10790 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10791 "server.pem".
10792 [Steve Henson]
10793
10794 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10795 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10796 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10797 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10798 [Steve Henson]
10799
10800 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10801 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10802 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10803 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10804
10805 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10806 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10807 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10808 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10809
10810 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10811 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10812 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10813 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10814 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10815 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10816 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10817 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10818 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10819 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10820 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10821 trivial: move one line.
10822 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10823
10824 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10825 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10826 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10827 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10828 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10829 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10830 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10831 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10832 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10833 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10834 with an event loop for example.
10835 [Steve Henson]
10836
10837 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10838 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10839 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10840 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10841 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10842 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10843 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10844 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10845 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10846 [Steve Henson]
10847
10848 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10849 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10850 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10851 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10852 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10853 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10854 [Steve Henson]
10855
10856 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10857 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10858 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10859 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10860
10861 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10862 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10863 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10864 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10865 key generation.
10866 [Steve Henson]
10867
10868 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10869 (still largely untested)
10870 [Bodo Moeller]
10871
10872 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10873 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10874 [Steve Henson]
10875
10876 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10877 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10878 [Steve Henson]
10879
10880 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10881 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10882 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10883 [Bodo Moeller]
10884
10885 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10886 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10887 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10888 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10889 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10890 [Steve Henson]
10891
10892 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10893 [Andy Polyakov]
10894
10895 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10896 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10897 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10898 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10899 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10900 in ca.
10901 [Steve Henson]
10902
10903 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10904 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10905 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10906 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10907 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10908 [Steve Henson]
10909
10910 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10911 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10912 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10913 are otherwise ignored at present.
10914 [Steve Henson]
10915
10916 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10917 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10918 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10919 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10920 copied until the next read.
10921 [Steve Henson]
10922
10923 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10924 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10925 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10926 [Steve Henson]
10927
10928 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10929 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10930 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10931 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10932 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10933 associated functions.
10934 [Steve Henson]
10935
10936 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10937 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10938 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10939 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10940 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10941 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10942 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10943 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10944 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10945 memory BIOs.
10946 [Steve Henson]
10947
10948 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10949 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10950 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10951 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10952 [Bodo Moeller]
10953
10954 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10955 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10956 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10957 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10958 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10959 functionality.
10960 [Steve Henson]
10961
10962 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10963 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10964 under Win32.
10965 [Steve Henson]
10966
10967 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10968 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10969 extensions to be obtained and added.
10970 [Steve Henson]
10971
10972 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10973 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10974 [Bodo Moeller]
10975
10976 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10977
10978 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10979 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10980
10981 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10982 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10983
10984 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10985 program.
10986 [Steve Henson]
10987
10988 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10989 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10990 DH parameters contain its length).
10991
10992 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10993 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10994 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10995 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10996 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10997 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10998 utter importance to use
10999 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11000 or
11001 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11002 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11003 attacks may become possible!
11004 [Bodo Moeller]
11005
11006 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11007 [Bodo Moeller]
11008
11009 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11010 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11011 [Steve Henson]
11012
11013 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11014 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11015 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11016 or long name.
11017 [Steve Henson]
11018
11019 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11020 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11021 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11022 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11023 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11024 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11025 private key operations.
11026 [Steve Henson]
11027
11028 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11029 [Andy Polyakov]
11030
11031 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11032 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11033 to
11034 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11035 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11036 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11037 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11038 the password callback is called.
11039 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11040
11041 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11042
11043 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11044 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11045 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11046 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11047 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11048 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11049 this will work.
11050
11051 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11052 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11053 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11054 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11055 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11056 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11057 [Bodo Moeller]
11058
11059 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11060 [Andy Polyakov]
11061
11062 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11063 delete an unused file.
11064 [Ulf Möller]
11065
11066 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11067 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11068 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11069 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11070 [Steve Henson]
11071
11072 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11073 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11074 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11075 of an error.
11076 [Bodo Moeller]
11077
11078 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11079 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11080 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11081
11082 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11083 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11084 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11085 comparison" warnings.
11086 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11087 [Steve Henson]
11088
11089 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11090 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11091 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11092 [Steve Henson]
11093
11094 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11095 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11096
11097 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11098 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11099
11100 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11101 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11102 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11103
11104 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11105 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11106 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11107 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11108 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11109 this bug.
11110 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11111
11112 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11113 The interface is as follows:
11114 Applications can use
11115 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11116 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11117 "off" is now the default.
11118 The library internally uses
11119 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11120 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11121 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11122
11123 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11124 even the default) are now avoided.
11125
11126 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11127 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11128 than just having a counter.
11129
11130 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11131
11132 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11133 extensions.
11134 [Bodo Moeller]
11135
11136 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11137 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11138 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11139 Initial "mode" flags are:
11140
11141 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11142 a single record has been written.
11143 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11144 retries use the same buffer location.
11145 (But all of the contents must be
11146 copied!)
11147 [Bodo Moeller]
11148
11149 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11150 worked.
11151
11152 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11153 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11154
11155 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11156 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11157 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11158 [Steve Henson]
11159
11160 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11161 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11162 test programs.
11163 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11164
11165 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11166 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11167 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11168 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11169 point to the end.
11170 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11171 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11172
11173 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11174 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11175 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11176 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11177 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11178 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11179 [Steve Henson]
11180
11181 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11182 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11183 necessary function names.
11184 [Steve Henson]
11185
11186 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11187 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11188 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11189 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11190 [Bodo Moeller]
11191
11192 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11193 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11194 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11195 [Steve Henson]
11196
11197 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11198 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11199 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11200 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11201 such programs?)
11202 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11203 need locks.
11204 [Bodo Moeller]
11205
11206 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11207 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11208 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11209 [Bodo Moeller]
11210
11211 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11212 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11213 appropriate.
11214 [Bodo Moeller]
11215
11216 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11217 for the encoded length.
11218 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11219
11220 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11221 [Steve Henson]
11222
11223 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11224 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11225 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11226 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11227 [Steve Henson]
11228
11229 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11230 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11231 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11232
11233 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11234 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11235 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11236 unusual formatting.
11237 [Steve Henson]
11238
11239 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11240 to use the new extension code.
11241 [Steve Henson]
11242
11243 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11244 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11245 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11246 constant.
11247 [Steve Henson]
11248
11249 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11250 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11251 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11252 [Bodo Moeller]
11253
11254 #if 0
11255 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11256 [Ben Laurie]
11257 #else
11258 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11259 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11260 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11261 #endif
11262
11263 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11264 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11265 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11266 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11267 [Ben Laurie]
11268
11269 *) DES library cleanups.
11270 [Ulf Möller]
11271
11272 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11273 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11274 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11275 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11276 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11277 of v2.0.
11278 [Steve Henson]
11279
11280 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11281 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11282 [Bodo Moeller]
11283
11284 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11285 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11286 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11287 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11288 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11289 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11290 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11291 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11292 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11293 [Steve Henson]
11294
11295 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11296 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11297 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11298 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11299 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11300 value doesn't matter.
11301 [Steve Henson]
11302
11303 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11304 support mutable.
11305 [Ben Laurie]
11306
11307 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11308 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11309 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11310 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11311
11312 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11313 [Ulf Möller]
11314
11315 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11316 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11317 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11318
11319 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11320 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11321
11322 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11323 [Ben Laurie]
11324
11325 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11326 [Ben Laurie]
11327
11328 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11329 [Ben Laurie]
11330
11331 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11332 [Bodo Moeller]
11333
11334
11335 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11336
11337 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11338
11339 *) Updated some demos.
11340 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11341
11342 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11343 [Wu Zhigang]
11344
11345 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11346 [Steve Henson]
11347
11348 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11349 [Steve Henson]
11350
11351 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11352 instead of using a fixed path.
11353 [Bodo Moeller]
11354
11355 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11356 [Andy Polyakov]
11357
11358 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11359 [Richard Levitte]
11360
11361
11362 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11363
11364 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11365 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11366 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11367
11368 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11369 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11370 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11371 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11372 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11373 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11374 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11375 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11376 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11377 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11378 [Steve Henson]
11379
11380 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11381 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11382 [Steve Henson]
11383
11384 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11385 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11386 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11387 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11388 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11389
11390 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11391 [Bodo Moeller]
11392
11393 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11394 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11395 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11396 [Steve Henson]
11397
11398 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11399 [Ben Laurie]
11400
11401 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11402 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11403 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11404 key elements as negative integers.
11405 [Steve Henson]
11406
11407 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11408 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11409
11410 *) VMS support.
11411 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11412
11413 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11414 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11415 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11416 [Steve Henson]
11417
11418 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11419 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11420 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11421 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11422 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11423 [Bodo Moeller]
11424
11425 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11426 [Ulf Möller]
11427
11428 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11429 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11430 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11431 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11432
11433 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11434 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11435 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11436
11437 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11438 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11439 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11440 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11441 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11442 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11443 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11444 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11445 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11446
11447 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11448 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11449 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11450 does not influence s as it used to.
11451
11452 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11453 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11454 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11455 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11456 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11457 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11458 [Bodo Moeller]
11459
11460 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11461 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11462 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11463 key type.
11464 [Steve Henson]
11465
11466 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11467 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11468 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11469 and 'x509').
11470 [Steve Henson]
11471
11472 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11473 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11474 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11475 extension option.
11476 [Steve Henson]
11477
11478 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11479 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11480 [Ben Laurie]
11481
11482 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11483 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11484
11485 *) Support Mingw32.
11486 [Ulf Möller]
11487
11488 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11489 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11490
11491 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11492 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11493
11494 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11495 [Ulf Möller]
11496
11497 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11498 [Anonymous]
11499
11500 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11501 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11502
11503 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11504 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11505 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11506 DER-encoded.)
11507 [Bodo Moeller]
11508
11509 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11510 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11511 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11512 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11513 now it really counts the depth.
11514 [Bodo Moeller]
11515
11516 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11517 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11518 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11519 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11520 didn't match the private key).
11521
11522 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11523 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11524 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11525 [Bodo Moeller]
11526
11527 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11528 [Ulf Möller]
11529
11530 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11531 David Harris.
11532 [Bodo Moeller]
11533
11534 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11535 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11536 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11537 [Bodo Moeller]
11538
11539 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11540 [Bodo Moeller]
11541
11542 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11543 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11544 such as /usr/local/bin.
11545 [Bodo Moeller]
11546
11547 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11548 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11549
11550 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11551 [Ulf Möller]
11552
11553 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11554 extension adding in x509 utility.
11555 [Steve Henson]
11556
11557 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11558 [Ulf Möller]
11559
11560 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11561 prototypes.
11562 [Steve Henson]
11563
11564 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11565 [Ulf Möller]
11566
11567 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11568 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11569 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11570 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11571 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11572 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11573 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11574 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11575 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11576 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11577 [Steve Henson]
11578
11579 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11580 [Bodo Moeller]
11581
11582 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11583 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11584 [Bodo Moeller]
11585
11586 *) Fix some race conditions.
11587 [Bodo Moeller]
11588
11589 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11590 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11591 [Steve Henson]
11592
11593 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11594 [Ulf Möller]
11595
11596 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11597 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11598 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11599 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11600
11601 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11602 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11603
11604 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11605 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11606 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11607
11608 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11609 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11610
11611 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11612 [Ulf Möller]
11613
11614 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11615 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11616
11617 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11618 [Ulf Möller]
11619
11620 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11621 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11622
11623 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11624 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11625 [Steve Henson]
11626
11627 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11628 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11629 [Ben Laurie]
11630
11631 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11632 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11633 [Steve Henson]
11634
11635 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11636 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11637 [Steve Henson]
11638
11639 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11640 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11641 [Steve Henson]
11642
11643 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11644 support typesafe stack.
11645 [Steve Henson]
11646
11647 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11648 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11649
11650 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11651 old X509V3 handling code.
11652 [Steve Henson]
11653
11654 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11655 [Ulf Möller]
11656
11657 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11658 [Bodo Moeller]
11659
11660 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11661 [Ben Laurie]
11662
11663 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11664 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11665
11666 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11667 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11668 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11669 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11670 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11671 [Ben Laurie]
11672
11673 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11674 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11675 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11676 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11677 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11678
11679 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11680 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11681 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11682 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11683
11684 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11685 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11686 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11687 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11688
11689 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11690 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11691 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11692 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11693 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11694 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11695 [Bodo Moeller]
11696
11697 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11698 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11699 [Bodo Moeller]
11700
11701 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11702 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11703 [Ulf Möller]
11704
11705 *) Tweaks to Configure
11706 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11707
11708 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11709 yet...
11710 [Steve Henson]
11711
11712 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11713 [Ulf Möller]
11714
11715 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11716 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11717 [Ulf Möller]
11718
11719 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11720 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11721 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11722 [Bodo Moeller]
11723
11724 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11725 [Bodo Moeller]
11726
11727 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11728 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11729 [Steve Henson]
11730
11731 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11732 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11733 to library startup routines.
11734 [Steve Henson]
11735
11736 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11737 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11738 codes along the way.
11739 [Steve Henson]
11740
11741 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11742 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11743 objects to objects.h
11744 [Steve Henson]
11745
11746 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11747 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11748 [Steve Henson]
11749
11750 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11751 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11752
11753 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11754 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11755 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11756
11757 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11758 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11759 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11760
11761 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11762 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11763 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11764
11765
11766 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11767
11768 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11769 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11770 [Ben Laurie]
11771
11772 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11773 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11774 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11775 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11776 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11777
11778 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11779 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11780 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11781 document.
11782 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11783
11784 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11785 Malloc, Free.
11786 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11787
11788 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11789 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11790
11791 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11792 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11793 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11794 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11795
11796 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11797 [Ben Laurie]
11798
11799 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11800 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11801 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11802 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11803 [Steve Henson]
11804
11805 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11806 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11807 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11808 [Steve Henson]
11809
11810 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11811 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11812 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11813 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11814 installed as `perl').
11815 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11816
11817 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11818 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11819
11820 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11821 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11822 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11823 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11824 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11825 [Steve Henson]
11826
11827 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11828 [Ben Laurie]
11829
11830 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11831 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11832 is horrible: I feel ill....
11833 [Steve Henson]
11834
11835 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11836 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11837 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11838 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11839 [Steve Henson]
11840
11841 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11842 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11843
11844 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11845 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11846 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11847 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11848
11849 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11850 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11851 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11852 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11853 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11854 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11855 openssl_bio.xs.
11856 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11857
11858 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11859 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11860
11861 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11862 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11863
11864 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11865 [Ben Laurie]
11866
11867 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11868 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11869 in CRLs.
11870 [Steve Henson]
11871
11872 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11873 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11874 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11875 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11876 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11877 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11878 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11879 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11880 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11881 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11882 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11883
11884 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11885 [Ben Laurie]
11886
11887 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11888 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11889 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11890 for linking it into DSOs.
11891 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11892
11893 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11894 Fixed.
11895 [Ben Laurie]
11896
11897 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11898 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11899 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11900 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11901 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11902 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11903
11904 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11905 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11906 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11907 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11908 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11909 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11910 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11911
11912 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11913 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11914 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11915 encryption.
11916 [Ben Laurie]
11917
11918 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11919 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11920 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11921 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11922 [Steve Henson]
11923
11924 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11925 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11926 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11927 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11928 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11929 field as blank.
11930 [Steve Henson]
11931
11932 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11933 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11934 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11935 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11936 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11937
11938 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11939 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11940 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11941
11942 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11943 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11944
11945 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11946 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11947 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11948 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11949 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11950 [Steve Henson]
11951
11952 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11953 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11954 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11955 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11956 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11957 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11958 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11959 [Ben Laurie]
11960
11961 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11962 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11963 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11964 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11965 [Ben Laurie]
11966
11967 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11968 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11969
11970 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11971 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11972 [Steve Henson]
11973
11974 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11975 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11976 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11977 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11978 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11979 (e.g. s_server).
11980 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11981 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11982 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11983 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11984 no way to reconfigure them.
11985 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11986 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11987 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11988 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11989 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11990 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11991
11992 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11993 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11994 recognized by the users.
11995 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11996
11997 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11998 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11999 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12000 already masked variable.
12001 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12002
12003 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12004 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12005
12006 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12007 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12008 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12009 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12010
12011 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12012 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12013 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12014
12015 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12016 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12017 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12018 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12019 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12020 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12021 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12022 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12023 now, too.
12024 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12025
12026 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12027 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12028 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12029
12030 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12031 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12032 config file.
12033 [Steve Henson]
12034
12035 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12036 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12037
12038 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12039 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12040 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12041 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12042 [Ben Laurie]
12043
12044 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12045 [Steve Henson]
12046
12047 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12048 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12049
12050 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12051 [Ben Laurie]
12052
12053 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12054 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12055 [Steve Henson]
12056
12057 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12058 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12059 [Steve Henson]
12060
12061 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12062 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12063 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12064 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12065 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12066 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12067 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12068 Ben Laurie]
12069
12070 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12071 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12072
12073 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12074 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12075 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12076 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12077 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12078
12079 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12080 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12081 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12082 [Steve Henson]
12083
12084 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12085 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12086 an example.
12087 [Steve Henson]
12088
12089 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12090 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12091 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12092
12093 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12094 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12095 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12096 build instructions.
12097 [Steve Henson]
12098
12099 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12100 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12101 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12102 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12103 [Steve Henson]
12104
12105 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12106 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12107 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12108 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12109 [Ben Laurie]
12110
12111 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12112 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12113 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12114 so it wasn't spotted.
12115 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12116
12117 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12118 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12119 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12120 vectors if you have them.
12121 [Ben Laurie]
12122
12123 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12124 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12125 [Ben Laurie]
12126
12127 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12128 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12129 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12130 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12131 If you do a:
12132 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12133 it will update them.
12134 [Steve Henson]
12135
12136 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12137 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12138 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12139 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12140 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12141 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12142 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12143 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12144
12145 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12146 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12147 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12148 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12149 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12150 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12151 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12152 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12153 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12154 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12155
12156 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12157 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12158 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12159 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12160 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12161 [Steve Henson]
12162
12163 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12164 INTEGER code.
12165 [Steve Henson]
12166
12167 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12168 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12169
12170 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12171 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12172
12173 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12174 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12175 [Ben Laurie]
12176
12177 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12178 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12179
12180 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12181 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12182
12183 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12184 [Steve Henson]
12185
12186 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12187 few typos.
12188 [Steve Henson]
12189
12190 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12191 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12192 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12193 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12194
12195 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12196 [Steve Henson]
12197
12198 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12199 [Steve Henson]
12200
12201 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12202 [Steve Henson]
12203
12204 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12205 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12206 [Steve Henson]
12207
12208 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12209 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12210 CA extensions.
12211 [Steve Henson]
12212
12213 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12214 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12215 [Steve Henson]
12216
12217 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12218 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12219 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12220 [Steve Henson]
12221
12222 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12223 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12224 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12225 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12226 properly to be processed.
12227 [Steve Henson]
12228
12229 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12230 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12231 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12232 [Ben Laurie]
12233
12234 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12235 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12236
12237 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12238 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12239 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12240 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12241 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12242 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12243 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12244 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12245 or delete all the .err files.
12246 [Steve Henson]
12247
12248 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12249 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12250 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12251 to regenerate it if needed.
12252 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12253 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12254
12255 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12256 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12257
12258 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12259 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12260 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12261 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12262 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12263 [Steve Henson]
12264
12265 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12266 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12267
12268 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12269 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12270
12271 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12272 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12273 error, but didn't set one).
12274 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12275
12276 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12277 [Ben Laurie]
12278
12279 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12280 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12281 [Steve Henson]
12282
12283 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12284 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12285
12286 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12287 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12288 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12289 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12290 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12291 OID is not part of the table.
12292 [Steve Henson]
12293
12294 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12295 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12296 [Ben Laurie]
12297
12298 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12299 [Ben Laurie]
12300
12301 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12302 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12303 was "1234").
12304 [Steve Henson]
12305
12306 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12307 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12308
12309 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12310 NULL pointers.
12311 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12312
12313 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12314 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12315
12316 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12317 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12318
12319 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12320 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12321
12322 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12323 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12324 [Ben Laurie]
12325
12326 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12327 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12328 [Steve Henson]
12329
12330 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12331 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12332
12333 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12334 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12335
12336 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12337 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12338
12339 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12340 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12341
12342 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12343 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12344 unused in the certificate verification process.
12345 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12346
12347 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12348 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12349 [Steve Henson]
12350
12351 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12352 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12353 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12354
12355 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12356 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12357 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12358 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12359 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12360
12361 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12362 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12363 [Steve Henson]
12364
12365 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12366 [Steve Henson]
12367
12368 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12369 [Paul Sutton]
12370
12371 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12372 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12373
12374 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12375 [Ben Laurie]
12376
12377 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12378 [Ben Laurie]
12379
12380 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12381 [Ben Laurie]
12382
12383 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12384 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12385 other error libraries.
12386 [Steve Henson]
12387
12388 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12389 [Steve Henson]
12390
12391 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12392 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12393 be read in.
12394 [Steve Henson]
12395
12396 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12397 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12398 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12399 the new set of documentation files.
12400 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12401
12402 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12403 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12404 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12405 number of arguments.
12406 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12407
12408 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12409 [Ben Laurie]
12410
12411 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12412 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12413 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12414
12415 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12416 [Ben Laurie]
12417
12418 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12419 nextstep
12420 ncr-scde
12421 unixware-2.0
12422 unixware-2.0-pentium
12423 sco5-cc.
12424 [Ben Laurie]
12425
12426 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12427 before they are needed.
12428 [Ben Laurie]
12429
12430 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12431 [Ben Laurie]
12432
12433

12439
12440 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12441 [Paul Sutton]
12442
12443 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12444 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12445 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12446
12447 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12448 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12449 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12450
12451 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12452 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12453 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12454
12455 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12456 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12457
12458 *) Updated the README file.
12459 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12460
12461 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12462 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12463 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12464
12465 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12466 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.

12485 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12486 [Mark J. Cox]
12487
12488 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12489 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12490 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
