OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
+ TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
+ ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
+ RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
+ [Nick Mathewson]
+
+ *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
+ STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Not all of this is true any longer.
+ Will have to be updated to reflect all subsequent changes to cryptlib.c.
+ --bodo
+
+
+ To support arbitrarily-typed thread IDs, deprecate the existing
+ type-specific APIs for a general purpose CRYPTO_THREADID
+ interface. Applications can choose the thread ID
+ callback type it wishes to register, as before;
+
+ void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
+ void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
+
+ but retrieval, copies, and comparisons of thread IDs are via
+ type-independent interfaces;
+
+ void CRYPTO_THREADID_set(CRYPTO_THREADID *id);
+ void CRYPTO_THREADID_cmp(const CRYPTO_THREADID *id1,
+ const CRYPTO_THREADID *id2);
+ void CRYPTO_THREADID_cpy(CRYPTO_THREADID *dst,
+ const CRYPTO_THREADID *src);
+
+ Also, for code that needs a thread ID "value" for use in
+ hash-tables or logging, a "hash" is available by;
+
+ unsigned long CRYPTO_THREADID_hash(const CRYPTO_THREADID *id);
+
+ This hash value is likely to be the thread ID anyway, but
+ otherwise it will be unique if possible or as collision-free as
+ possible if uniqueness can't be guaranteed on the target
+ architecture.
+
+ The following functions are deprecated;
+ unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
+ unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
+
+ As a consequence of the above, there are similar deprecations of
+ BN_BLINDING functions in favour of CRYPTO_THREADID-based
+ alternatives;
+
+ #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
+ unsigned long BN_BLINDING_get_thread_id(const BN_BLINDING *);
+ void BN_BLINDING_set_thread_id(BN_BLINDING *, unsigned long);
+ #endif
+ void BN_BLINDING_set_thread(BN_BLINDING *);
+ int BN_BLINDING_cmp_thread(const BN_BLINDING *, const
+ CRYPTO_THREADID *);
+
+ Also, the ERR_remove_state(int pid) API has been deprecated;
+
+ #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
+ void ERR_remove_state(unsigned long pid)
+ #endif
+ void ERR_remove_thread_state(CRYPTO_THREADID *tid);
+
+ [Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
+ on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
+ support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
+ encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
+ RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
+ content types and variants.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
+ files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
+ The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
+ files from the associated perl scripts.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
+ Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
+ [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
+
+ *) s390x assembler pack.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
+ "family."
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
+ draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
+ official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
+ IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
+ enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
+ to use. For example, specify an option
+
+ -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
+
+ to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
+ assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
+ and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
+ Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
+ interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
+ be using the same extension number for other purposes.
+
+ SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
+ opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
+ an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
+ return non-zero for success.
+
+ To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
+ by using
+
+ SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
+ SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
+
+ where
+
+ int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
+ void *arg;
+
+ Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
+ expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
+ Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
+ SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
+ be provided to the callback function). The callback function
+ has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
+ PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
+ input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
+ if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
+
+ Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
+ will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
+ see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
+ available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
+ provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
+ length of the client's opaque PRF input.
+
+ Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
+ a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
+ previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
+ handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
+ SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
+ for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
+
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
+ MAC.
+
+ [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
+
+ *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
+ RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
+ SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
+ supported.
+
+ If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
+ support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
+ SSL_SESSION.
+
+ The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
+ protection in servers so again support should be possible
+ with no application modification.
+
+ If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
+ SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
+
+ Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
+ or server extensions to be examined.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
+ OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
+ [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
+ support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
+ ciphersuite support.
+ [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
+ function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
+ to output in BER and PEM format.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
+ allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
+ EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
+ ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
+ -macopt options to dgst utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
+ EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
+ alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
+ utility.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
+ the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
+ ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
+ removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
+ the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
+ that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
+ in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
+ than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
+ enabled again.
+
+ This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
+ the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
+ order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
+ most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
+
+ Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
+ funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
+ cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
+ the default order.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
+ arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
+ to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
+ (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
+ remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
+ This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
+ in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
+ that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
+ [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
+
+ *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
+ processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
+ "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
+ "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
+ (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
+ away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
+ change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
+ affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
+ categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
+ AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
+ and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
+ kinds of kludges.
+
+ Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
+ 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
+ out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
+
+ With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
+ so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
+ "CAMELLIA256".
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
+ Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
+ larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
+ [Nils Larsch]
+
+ *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
+ it yet and it is largely untested.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
+ [Nils Larsch]
+
+ *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
+ some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
+ reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
+ to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
+ efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
+ the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
+ new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
+ -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
+ to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
+ what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
+ Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
+ [Cryptocom]
*) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
callback is &errno.
[Bodo Moeller]
+ -- NOTE -- this change has been reverted and replaced with a
+ type-independent wrapper (ie. applications do not have to check
+ two type-specific thread ID representations as implied in this
+ change note). However, the "idptr" callback form described here
+ can still be registered. Please see the more recent CHANGES note
+ regarding CRYPTO_THREADID. [Geoff Thorpe]
+ -- NOTE --
+
*) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
- SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
- SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
- SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
*) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
[NTT]
- Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
+
+ *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
+ handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
+ Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
+ [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
+
+ *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
+ a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
+ [Joe Orton]
+
+ *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
+
+ Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
+ older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
+
+ *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
+
+ The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
+ have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
+ Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
+ of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
+ The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
+ 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
+ before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
+ the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
+ invalid read after the end of 'db').
+ [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
+
+ *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
+ TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
+ values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
+ sets may exist with different names.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
+ This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
+ a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
+ successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
+ for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
+ behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
+ registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
+ 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
+ time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
+ implementation.
+ [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
+
+ *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
+ mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
+ existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
+ [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>, Geoff Thorpe]
+
+ *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
+ uncompresses any data passed through it.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
+ RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
+ sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
+ X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
+ data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
+ from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
+ once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
+ data.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
+ to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
+ [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
+
+ *) Netware support:
+
+ - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
+ - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
+ - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
+ - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
+ - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
+ - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
+ netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
+ - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
+ platform
+ - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
+ - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
+ - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
+ - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
+ - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
+ - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
+ [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
+
+ *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
+ A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
+ OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
+ and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
+ to s_client and s_server.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
+
+ *) Fix various bugs:
+ + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
+ + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
+ + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
+ + Fix ia64 assembler code
+ [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
+
+ *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
+ OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
+ RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
+ Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
+ pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
+ server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
+ not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
+ This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
+ (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
+ [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
+ Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
+ RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
+ SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
+ supported.
+
+ If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
+ support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
+ SSL_SESSION.
+
+ The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
+ protection in servers so again support should be possible
+ with no application modification.
+
+ If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
+ SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
+
+ Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
+ or server extensions to be examined.
+
+ This work was sponsored by Google.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
+ extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
+ have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
+ additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
+ stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
+ SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
+ server_name extension.
+
+ New functions (subject to change):
+
+ SSL_get_servername()
+ SSL_get_servername_type()
+ SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
+
+ New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
+
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
+ - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
+ - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
+ SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
+
+ openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
+
+ openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
+ '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
+ testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
+ and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
+ negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
+ default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
+ option.
+
+ [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
+ (which previously caused an internal error).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) AES IGE mode speedup.
+ [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
+
+ *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
+ http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
+ add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
+
+ TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
+ TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
+ TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
+ TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
+
+ To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
+ series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
+ is configured with 'enable-seed'.
+ [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
+ single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
+ information. For detailed background information, see
+ http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
+ J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
+ and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
+ are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
+ BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
+ respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
+ conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
+ and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
+ of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
+ remove a conditional branch.
+
+ BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
+ BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
+ modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
+ in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
+ implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
+ remains as a deprecated alias.
+
+ Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
+ RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
+ constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
+ Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
+
+ BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
+ the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
+ modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
+ BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
+ essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
+ change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
+ RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
+ enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
+
+ [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
+
+ *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
+ context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
+ external cache for different purposes). Previously,
+ out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
+ set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
+ with applications using a single external cache for quite
+ different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
+ restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
+ in a different context.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
+ a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
+ authentication-only ciphersuites.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
+
+ *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
+ Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
+ ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
+ kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
+ (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
+ [Victor Duchovni]

+ *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
+ (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
+ When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
+ prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
+ encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
+ of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)

+ *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
+ protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
+ ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
+ particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
+ message has informed the client about his choice.)

+ *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
+ context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
+ external cache for different purposes). Previously,
+ out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
+ set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
+ with applications using a single external cache for quite
+ different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
+ restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
+ in a different context.

+ [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
+
+ *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
+ a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
+ authentication-only ciphersuites.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
+ ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
+ kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
