10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
13 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
14 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
15 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
16 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
17 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
18
19 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
20 [Richard Levitte]
21
22 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
23 [Richard Levitte]
24
25 *) Change the possible version information given with OPENSSL_API_COMPAT.
26 It may be a pre-3.0.0 style numerical version number as it was defined
27 in 1.1.0, and it may also simply take the major version number.
28
29 Because of the version numbering of pre-3.0.0 releases, the values 0,
30 1 and 2 are equivalent to 0x00908000L (0.9.8), 0x10000000L (1.0.0) and
31 0x10100000L (1.1.0), respectively.
32 [Richard Levitte]
33
34 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
35
36 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
37 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
38 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
39 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
40 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
41 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
42 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
43 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
44 [Richard Levitte]
45
46 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
47 [Todd Short]
48
49 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
50 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
51 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
52 [Richard Levitte]
53
54 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
55 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
56 [Richard Levitte]
57
58 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
59 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
60 look into.
61 [Richard Levitte]
62
63 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
64 [Paul Dale]
65
66 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
67 [Richard Levitte]
68
69 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
70 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
71 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
72 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
73 [Richard Levitte]
74
75 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
76 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
77 [Antoine Salon]
78
79 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
80 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
81 are retained for backwards compatibility.
82 [Antoine Salon]
83
84 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
85 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
86 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
87 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
88 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
89 [Paul Dale]
90
91 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
92 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
93 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
94 [Richard Levitte]
95
96 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
97 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
98 [Richard Levitte]
99
100 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
101 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
102 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
103 [Boris Pismenny]
104
105 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
106
107 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
108
109 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
110 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
111 algorithm to recover the private key.
112
113 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
114 (CVE-2018-0734)
115 [Paul Dale]
116
117 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
118
119 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
120 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
121 algorithm to recover the private key.
122
123 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
124 (CVE-2018-0735)
125 [Paul Dale]
126
127 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
128 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
129 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
130
131 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
132 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
133 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
134 provided by the application.
135
136 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
137
138 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
139 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
140 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
141 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
142 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
143 of the ClientHello
144 [Benjamin Kaduk]
145
146 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
147 [Jack Lloyd]
148
149 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
150 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
151 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
152 [Patrick Steuer]
153
154 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
155 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
156 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
157 [Richard Levitte]
158
159 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
160 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
161 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
162 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
163 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
164 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
165 to work in projective coordinates.
166 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
167
168 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
169 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
170 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
171 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
172 to 2^-128.
173 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
174
175 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
176 [Kurt Roeckx]
177
178 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
179 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
180 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
181 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
182 [Richard Levitte]
183
184 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
185 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
186 [Andy Polyakov]
187
188 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
189 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
190 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
191 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
192 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
193
194 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
195 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
196 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
197 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
198 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
199 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
200
201 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
202 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
203 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
204 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
205 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
206 [Paul Dale]
207
208 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
209 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
210 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
211 authors.
212 [Matt Caswell]
213
214 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
215 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
216 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
217 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
218 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
219 multi-version installation is managed.
220 [Andy Polyakov]
221
222 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
223 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
224 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
225 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
226 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
227 [Billy Bob Brumley]
228
229 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
230 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
231 chosen point SCA attacks.
232 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
233
234 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
235 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
236 [Matt Caswell]
237
238 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
239 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
240 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
241 [Matt Caswell]
242
243 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
244 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
245 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
246 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
247 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
248 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
249 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
250 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
251 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
252 [Kurt Roeckx]
253
254 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
255 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
256 [Richard Levitte]
257
258 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
259 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
260 [Billy Bob Brumley]
261
262 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
263 binary and prime elliptic curves.
264 [Billy Bob Brumley]
265
266 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
267 constant time fixed point multiplication.
268 [Billy Bob Brumley]
269
270 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
271 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
272 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
273 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
274 ECDH derive operations).
275 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
276 Sohaib ul Hassan]
277
278 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
279 [Rich Salz]
280
281 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
282 randomness from the system.
283 [Matthias St. Pierre]
284
285 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
286 [Richard Levitte]
287
288 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
289 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
290 [Matt Caswell]
291
292 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
293 [Matt Caswell]
294
295 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
296 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
297
298 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
299 [Richard Levitte]
300
301 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
302 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
303 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
304 [Matt Caswell]
305
306 *) Memory allocation failures consistenly add an error to the error
307 stack.
308 [Rich Salz]
309
310 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
311 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
312 [Bernd Edlinger]
313
314 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
315 [Matt Caswell]
316
317 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
318 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
319 [Matthias St. Pierre]
320
321 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
322 for the license change).
323 [Rich Salz]
324
325 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
326 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
327 [Matt Caswell]
328
329 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
330 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
331 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
332 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
333 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
334 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
335 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
336 [Matt Caswell]
337
338 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
339 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
340 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
341 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
342 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
343 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
344 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
345 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
346 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
347 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
348 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
349 written to stderr.
350 [Viktor Dukhovni]
351
352 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
353 Mike Hamburg.
354 [Matt Caswell]
355
356 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
357 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
358 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
359 get the search data out of them.
360 [Richard Levitte]
361
362 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
363 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
364 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
365 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
366 [Matt Caswell]
367
368 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
369
370 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
371 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
372 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
373 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
374 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
375 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
376
377 Some of its new features are:
378 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
379 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
380 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
381 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
382 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
383 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
384 operation
385 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
386
387 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
388 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
389 to display all sorts of configuration data.
390 [Richard Levitte]
391
392 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
393 [Richard Levitte]
394
395 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
396 [Paul Dale]
397
398 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
399 now been removed.
400 [Rich Salz]
401
402 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
403 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
404 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
405 debug (or make silent).
406 [Richard Levitte]
407
408 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
409 arguments to config / Configure.
410 [Richard Levitte]
411
412 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
413 [Paul Yang]
414
415 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
416 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
417 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
418 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
419
420 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
421 as documented in RFC6066.
422 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
423 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
424
425 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
426 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
427 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
428 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
429
430 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
431 original author does not agree with the license change.
432 [Rich Salz]
433
434 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
435 [Jon Spillett]
436
437 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
438 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
439 [Rich Salz]
440
441 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
442 without clearing the errors.
443 [Richard Levitte]
444
445 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
446 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
447 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
448 [Rich Salz]
449
450 *) Add SHA3.
451 [Andy Polyakov]
452
453 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
454 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
455 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
456 as a fallback).
457
458 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
459 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
460 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
461 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
462 [Richard Levitte]
463
464 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
465 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
466 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
467 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
468 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
469 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
470 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
471 [Richard Levitte]
472
473 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
474 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
475 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
476 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
477 [Richard Levitte]
478
479 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
480 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
481 error code calls like this:
482
483 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
484
485 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
486 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
487 affect new modules.
488 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
489
490 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
491 [Rich Salz]
492
493 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
494 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
495 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
496 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
497 [Richard Levitte]
498
499 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
500 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
501 than just the call where this user data is passed.
502 [Richard Levitte]
503
504 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
505 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
506 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
507
508 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
509 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
510 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
511 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
512 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
513 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
514 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
515 issues.
516 [Matt Caswell]
517
518 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
519 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
520 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
521 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
522 [Richard Levitte]
523
524 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
525 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
526 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
527
528 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
529 does for RSA, etc.
530 [Richard Levitte]
531
532 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
533 platform rather than 'mingw'.
534 [Richard Levitte]
535
536 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
537 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
538 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
539 certificates and CRLs.
540 [Paul Dale]
541
542 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
543 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
544 [Andy Polyakov]
545
546 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
547 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
548 [Richard Levitte]
549
550 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
551 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
552 which is the minimum version we support.
553 [Richard Levitte]
554
555 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
556 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
557 are no longer allowed.
558 [Emilia Käsper]
559
560 *) Add support for ARIA
561 [Paul Dale]
562
563 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
564 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
565 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
566 using "-servername".
567 [Matt Caswell]
568
569 *) Add support for SipHash
570 [Todd Short]
571
572 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
573 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
574 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
575 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
576 [Matt Caswell]
577
578 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
579 using the algorithm defined in
580 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
581 [Richard Levitte]
582
583 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
584 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
585
586 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
587 [Emilia Käsper]
588
589 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
590 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
591 [Rich Salz]
592
593
594 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
595
596 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
597
598 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
599 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
600 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
601 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
602 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
603
604 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
605 (CVE-2018-0732)
606 [Guido Vranken]
607
608 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
609
610 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
611 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
612 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
613 recover the private key.
614
615 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
616 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
617 (CVE-2018-0737)
618 [Billy Brumley]
619
620 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
621 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
622 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
623 [Richard Levitte]
624
625 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
626 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
627 [Andy Polyakov]
628
629 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
630 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
631 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
632 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
633 to 2^-128.
634 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
635
636 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
637 [Kurt Roeckx]
638
639 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
640 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
641 [Matt Caswell]
642
643 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
644 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
645 [Richard Levitte]
646
647 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
648 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
649 are no longer allowed.
650 [Emilia Käsper]
651
652 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
653
654 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
655 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
656 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
657 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
658 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
659 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
660 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
661 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
662 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
663 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
664 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
665 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
666 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
667 [Matt Caswell]
668
669 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
670
671 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
672
673 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
674 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
675 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
676 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
677 so this is considered safe.
678
679 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
680 project.
681 (CVE-2018-0739)
682 [Matt Caswell]
683
684 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
685
686 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
687 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
688 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
689 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
690 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
691 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
692
693 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
694 (IBM).
695 (CVE-2018-0733)
696 [Andy Polyakov]
697
698 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
699 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
700 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
701 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
702 [Richard Levitte]
703
704 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
705
706 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
707 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
708 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
709 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
710 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
711
712 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
713 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
714 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
715 [Matt Caswell]
716
717 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
718 exist.
719 [Rich Salz]
720
721 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
722
723 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
724 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
725 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
726 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
727 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
728 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
729 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
730 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
731 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
732 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
733
734 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
735 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
736
737 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
738 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
739 (CVE-2017-3738)
740 [Andy Polyakov]
741
742 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
743
744 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
745
746 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
747 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
748 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
749 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
750 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
751 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
752 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
753 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
754 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
755 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
756 key that is shared between multiple clients.
757
758 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
759 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
760
761 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
762 (CVE-2017-3736)
763 [Andy Polyakov]
764
765 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
766
767 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
768 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
769 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
770
771 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
772 (CVE-2017-3735)
773 [Rich Salz]
774
775 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
776
777 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
778 platform rather than 'mingw'.
779 [Richard Levitte]
780
781 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
782 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
783 which is the minimum version we support.

785
786 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
787
788 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
789
790 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
791 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
792 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
793 and servers are affected.
794
795 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
796 (CVE-2017-3733)
797 [Matt Caswell]
798
799 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
800
801 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
802
803 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
804 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
805 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
806
807 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
808 (CVE-2017-3731)
809 [Andy Polyakov]
810
811 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
812
813 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
814 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
815 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
816 of Service attack.
817
818 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
819 (CVE-2017-3730)
820 [Matt Caswell]
821
822 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
823
824 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
825 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
826 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
827 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
828 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
829 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
830 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
831 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
832 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
833 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
834 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
835 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
836 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
837
838 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
839 (CVE-2017-3732)
840 [Andy Polyakov]
841
842 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
843
844 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
845
846 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
847 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
848 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
849
850 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
851 (CVE-2016-7054)
852 [Richard Levitte]
853
854 *) CMS Null dereference
855
856 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
857 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
858 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
859 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
860 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
861 affected.
862
863 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
864 (CVE-2016-7053)
865 [Stephen Henson]
866
867 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
868
869 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
870 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
871 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
872 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
873 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
874 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
875 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
876 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
877 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
878 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
879 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
880 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
881 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
882 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
883
884 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
885 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
886 providing reproducible case.
887 (CVE-2016-7055)
888 [Andy Polyakov]
889
890 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
891 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
892 [Richard Levitte]
893
894 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
895
896 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
897
898 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
899 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
900 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
901 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
902 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
903 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
904
905 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
906
907 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
908 (CVE-2016-6309)
909 [Matt Caswell]
910
911 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
912
913 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
914
915 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
916 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
917 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
918 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
919 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
920 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
921 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
922
923 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
924 (CVE-2016-6304)
925 [Matt Caswell]
926
927 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
928
929 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
930 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
931 Denial Of Service attack.
932
933 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
934 (CVE-2016-6305)
935 [Matt Caswell]
936
937 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
938 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
939
940 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
941 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
942 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
943 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
944 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
945 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
946 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
947 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
948 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
949 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
950 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
951 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
952 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
953 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
954 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
955
956 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
957 that the connection fails
958 or
959 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
960 very little free memory
961 or
962 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
963 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
964 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
965 memory to service the multiple requests.
966
967 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
968 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
969 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
970 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
971 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

974 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
975 [Matt Caswell]
976
977 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
978 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
979 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
980 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
981 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
982 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
983 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
984 [Andy Polyakov]
985
986 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
987
988 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
989 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
990 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
991 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
992 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
993 non-ASCII password.
994 [Andy Polyakov]
995
996 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
997 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
998 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
999 [Rich Salz]
1000
1001 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1002 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1003 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1004 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1005 [Matt Caswell]
1006
1007 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1008 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1009 success.
1010 [Matt Caswell]
1011
1012 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1013 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1014 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1015 no-ops and deprecated.
1016 [Matt Caswell]
1017
1018 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1019 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1020 were also closed.
1021 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1022
1023 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1024 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1025 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1026 [Rich Salz]
1027
1028 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1029 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1030 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1031 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1032 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1033 and the validity of object reference counter.
1034 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1035
1036 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1037 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1038 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1039 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1040 [Richard Levitte]
1041
1042 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1043 [Richard Levitte]
1044
1045 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1046 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1047 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1048 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1049
1050 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1051
1052 [Richard Levitte]
1053
1054 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1055 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1056 [Steve Henson]
1057
1058 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1059 [Andy Polyakov]
1060
1061 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1062 [Rich Salz]
1063
1064 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1065 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1066 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1067 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1068 name and is used as is.
1069 [Richard Levitte]
1070
1071 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1072 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1073 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1074 [Rich Salz]
1075
1076 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1077 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1078 [Matt Caswell]
1079
1080 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1081 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1082 algorithms.
1083 [Matt Caswell]
1084
1085 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1086 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1087 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1088 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1089 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1090 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1091 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1092 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1093 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1094 [Matt Caswell]
1095
1096 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1097 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1098 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1099 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1100
1101 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1102 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1103 these have been added.
1104 [Matt Caswell]
1105
1106 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1107 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1108 functions for managing these have been added.
1109 [Richard Levitte]
1110
1111 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1112 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1113 these have been added.
1114 [Matt Caswell]
1115
1116 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1117 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1118 have been added.
1119 [Matt Caswell]
1120
1121 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1122 [Matt Caswell]
1123
1124 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1125 [Richard Levitte]
1126
1127 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1128 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1129 [Rich Salz]
1130
1131 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1132 [Richard Levitte]
1133
1134 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1135 [Rich Salz]
1136
1137 *) Add support for HKDF.
1138 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1139
1140 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1141 [Bill Cox]
1142
1143 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1144 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1145 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1146 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1147 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1148 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1149 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1150 [Matt Caswell]
1151
1152 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1153 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1154 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1155 [Catriona Lucey]
1156
1157 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1158 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1159 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1160 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1161 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1162 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1163 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1164
1165 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1166 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1167 [Todd Short]
1168
1169 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1170 [Todd Short]
1171
1172 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1173 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1174 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1175 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1176 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1177 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1178 default cipherlist.
1179 [Emilia Käsper]
1180
1181 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1182 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1183 [Rich Salz]
1184
1185 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1186 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1187 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1188 [Matt Caswell]
1189
1190 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1191 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1192 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1193 implemented by other servers.
1194 [Emilia Käsper]
1195
1196 *) Add X25519 support.
1197 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1198 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1199 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1200 key generation and key derivation.
1201
1202 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1203 X25519(29).
1204 [Steve Henson]
1205
1206 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1207 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1208 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1209 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1210 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1211
1212 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1213 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1214 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1215 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1216 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1217 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1218 that of a valid user.
1219 [Emilia Käsper]
1220
1221 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1222 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1223 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1224 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1225
1226 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1227 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1228
1229 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1230 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1231 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1232 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1233
1234 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1235 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1236 irrelevant.
1237 [Richard Levitte]
1238
1239 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1240 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1241 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1242 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1243 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1244 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1245
1246 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1247 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1248 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1249 [Richard Levitte]
1250
1251 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1252 [Rich Salz]
1253
1254 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1255 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1256 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1257 removed.
1258 [Richard Levitte]
1259
1260 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1261 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1262 old #define's might need to be updated.
1263 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1264
1265 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1266 [Rich Salz]
1267
1268 *) New "unified" build system
1269
1270 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1271 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1272
1273 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1274 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1275 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1276
1277 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1278 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1279 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1280 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1281 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1282
1283 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1284 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1285 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1286 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1287 libraries" in INSTALL.
1288
1289 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1290 [Richard Levitte]
1291
1292 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1293 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1294 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1295 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1296 [Matt Caswell]
1297
1298 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1299 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1300
1301 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1302 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1303 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1304 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1305 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1306 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1307 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1308 have been adapted accordingly.
1309 [Richard Levitte]
1310
1311 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1312 the leading 0-byte.
1313 [Emilia Käsper]
1314
1315 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1316 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1317 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1318 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1319 [Emilia Käsper]
1320
1321 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1322 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1323 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1324 'unsigned char*'.
1325 [Emilia Käsper]
1326
1327 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1328 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1329 [Emilia Käsper]
1330
1331 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1332 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1333 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1334 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1335 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1336 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1337 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1338
1339 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1340 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1341
1342 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1343 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1344 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1345 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1346 Text::Template.
1347
1348 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1349 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1350 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1351 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1352 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1353 %target).
1354 [Richard Levitte]
1355
1356 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1357 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1358 straightforward and less interdependent.
1359
1360 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1361 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1362 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1363
1364 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1365 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1366 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1367 installed.
1368 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1369 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1370 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1371 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1372
1373 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1374 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1375 [Richard Levitte]
1376
1377 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1378 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1379 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1380 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1381 is present).
1382 [Matt Caswell]
1383
1384 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1385 configuring.
1386 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1387
1388 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1389 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1390 before trying to build now.*
1391 [Rich Salz]
1392
1393 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1394 has changed.
1395 [Rich Salz]
1396
1397 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1398
1399 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1400 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1401 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1402 used to authenticate the peer.
1403
1404 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1405 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1406 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1407 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1408 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1409 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1410
1411 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1412 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1413 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1414 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1415 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1416 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1417
1418 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1419 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1420 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1421 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1422 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1423 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1424 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1425 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1426 version.
1427
1428 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1429 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1430 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1431 compile with later releases.
1432
1433 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1434 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1435 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1436 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1437 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1438 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1439
1440 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1441 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1442 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1443 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1444 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1445 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1446 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1447 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1448 [Kurt Roeckx]
1449
1450 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1451 [Andy Polyakov]
1452
1453 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1454 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1455 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1456 ECDSA_SIG format.
1457
1458 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1459 include the ec.h header file instead.
1460 [Steve Henson]
1461
1462 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1463 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1464 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1465 [Kurt Roeckx]
1466
1467 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1468 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1469 were added:
1470
1471 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1472 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1473
1474 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1475 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1476 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1477
1478 Additional changes:
1479 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1480 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1481 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1482 an already created structure.
1483 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1484 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1485 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1486 for deprecated builds.
1487 [Richard Levitte]
1488
1489 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1490 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1491 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1492 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1493 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1494 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1495 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1496 [Matt Caswell]
1497
1498 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1499 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1500 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1501 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1502 [Kurt Roeckx]
1503
1504 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1505 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1506 [Kurt Roeckx]
1507
1508 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1509 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1510 [Kurt Roeckx]
1511
1512 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1513 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1514 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1515 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1516 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1517 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1518 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1519 also been removed.
1520 [Matt Caswell]
1521
1522 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1523 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1524 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1525 [Rich Salz]
1526
1527 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1528 [Rich Salz]
1529
1530 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1531 sureware and ubsec.
1532 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1533
1534 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1535
1536 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1537 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1538
1539 FOO *x;
1540
1541 it must be:
1542
1543 FOO x;
1544
1545 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1546 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1547
1548 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1549 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1550 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1551 SEQUENCE OF.
1552 [Steve Henson]
1553
1554 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1555 [Emilia Käsper]
1556
1557 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1558 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1559 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1560 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1561 [Matt Caswell]
1562
1563 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1564 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1565 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1566 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1567 [Emilia Käsper]
1568
1569 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1570 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1571 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1572
1573 *) New testing framework
1574 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1575 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1576 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1577 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1578 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1579 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1580
1581 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1582
1583 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1584 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1585
1586 [Richard Levitte]
1587
1588 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1589 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1590 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1591 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1592 [Rich Salz]
1593
1594 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1595 return an error
1596 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1597
1598 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1599 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1600
1601 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1602 original RSA_PSK patch.
1603 [Steve Henson]
1604
1605 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1606 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1607 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1608 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1609 [Matt Caswell]
1610
1611 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1612 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1613 [Richard Levitte]
1614
1615 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1616 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1617 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1618 [Emilia Käsper]
1619
1620 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1621 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1622 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1623 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1624 transferred.
1625 [Matt Caswell]
1626
1627 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1628 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1629 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1630 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1631 [Matt Caswell]
1632
1633 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1634 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1635 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1636 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1637 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1638 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1639 [Matt Caswell]
1640
1641 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1642 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1643 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1644 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1645 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1646 header file has been removed.
1647 [Matt Caswell]
1648
1649 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1650 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1651 [Matt Caswell]
1652
1653 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1654 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1655 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1656
1657 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1658 Added a test.
1659 [Rich Salz]
1660
1661 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1662 [Rich Salz]
1663
1664 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1665 sha256
1666 [Rich Salz]
1667
1668 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1669 [Matt Caswell]
1670
1671 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1672 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1673 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1674 [Steve Henson]
1675
1676 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1677 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1678 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1679 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1680 [Matt Caswell]
1681
1682 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1683 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1684 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1685 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1686 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1687 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1688 [Matt Caswell]
1689
1690 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1691 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1692 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1693 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1694 [Matt Caswell]
1695
1696 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1697 compatible client hello.
1698 [Kurt Roeckx]
1699
1700 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1701 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1702 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1703
1704 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1705 [Rich Salz]
1706
1707 *) Removed old DES API.
1708 [Rich Salz]
1709
1710 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1711 Sony NEWS4
1712 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1713 NeXT
1714 SUNOS
1715 MPE/iX
1716 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1717 DGUX
1718 NCR
1719 Tandem
1720 Cray
1721 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1722 [Rich Salz]
1723
1724 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1725 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1726 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1727 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1728 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1729 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1730 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1731 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1732 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1733 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1734 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1735 [Rich Salz]
1736
1737 *) Cleaned up dead code
1738 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1739 [Rich Salz]
1740
1741 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1742 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1743 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1744 [Rich Salz]
1745
1746 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1747 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1748 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1749 [Rich Salz]
1750
1751 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1752 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1753 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1754
1755 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1756 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1757 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1758
1759 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1760 compilation flags.
1761 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1762
1763 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1764 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1765 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1766
1767 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1768 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1769
1770 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1771 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1772 server.
1773
1774 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1775 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1776 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1777 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1778
1779 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1780 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1781 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1782 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1783
1784 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1785 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1786 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1787
1788 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1789 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1790 [Steve Henson]
1791
1792 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1793
1794 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1795 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1796
1797 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1798 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1799
1800 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1801 effect.
1802
1803 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1804
1805 [Steve Henson]
1806
1807 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1808 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1809 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1810 algorithms and include tests cases.
1811 [Steve Henson]
1812
1813 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1814 enveloped data.
1815 [Steve Henson]
1816
1817 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1818 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1819 [Steve Henson]
1820
1821 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1822 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1823
1824 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1825 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1826 [Steve Henson]
1827
1828 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1829 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1830 failures.
1831 [Steve Henson]
1832
1833 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1834 sign or verify all in one operation.
1835 [Steve Henson]
1836
1837 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1838 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1839 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1840 [Steve Henson]
1841
1842 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1843 [Steve Henson]
1844
1845 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1846 [Steve Henson]
1847
1848 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1849 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1850 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1851 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1852 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1853 [Steve Henson]
1854
1855 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1856 based on NID.
1857 [Steve Henson]
1858
1859 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1860 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1861 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1862 [Steve Henson]
1863
1864 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1865 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1866
1867 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1868 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1869 [Steve Henson]
1870
1871 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1872 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1873 [Steve Henson]
1874
1875 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1876 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1877 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1878 [Steve Henson]
1879
1880 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1881 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1882 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1883 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1884 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1885 requested amount of entropy.
1886 [Steve Henson]
1887
1888 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1889 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1890 [Steve Henson]
1891
1892 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1893 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1894 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1895 support.
1896 [Steve Henson]
1897
1898 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1899 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1900 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1901 [Steve Henson]
1902
1903 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1904 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1905 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1906 will never use XTS mode.
1907 [Steve Henson]
1908
1909 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1910 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1911 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1912 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1913 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1914 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1915 [Steve Henson]
1916
1917 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1918 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1919 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1920 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1921 [Steve Henson]
1922
1923 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1924 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1925 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1926 [Steve Henson]
1927
1928 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1929 [Steve Henson]
1930
1931 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1932 [Steve Henson]
1933
1934 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1935 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1936 [Steve Henson]
1937
1938 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1939 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1940 [Steve Henson]
1941
1942 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1943 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1944 [Steve Henson]
1945
1946 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1947 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1948 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1949 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1950 and rename any affected symbols.
1951 [Steve Henson]
1952
1953 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1954 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1955 [Steve Henson]
1956
1957 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1958 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1959 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1960 [Steve Henson]
1961
1962 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1963 [Steve Henson]
1964
1965 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1966 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1967 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1968 [Steve Henson]
1969
1970 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1971 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1972 [Steve Henson]
1973
1974 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1975 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1976 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1977 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1978 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1979 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1980 set before the key.
1981 [Steve Henson]
1982
1983 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1984 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1985 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1986 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1987 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1988 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1989 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1990 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1991 [Steve Henson]
1992
1993 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1994 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1995 [Steve Henson]
1996
1997 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions

2002 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2003 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2004 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2005 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2006 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2007 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2008
2009 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2010 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2011 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2012 security.

2054
2055 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2056 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2057 AES-NI.
2058
2059 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2060 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2061 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2062 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2063 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2064 bytes.

2067 (CVE-2016-2107)
2068 [Kurt Roeckx]
2069
2070 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2071
2072 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2073 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2074 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2075 corruption.
2076
2077 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2078 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2079 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2080 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2081 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2082 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2083
2084 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2085 (CVE-2016-2105)
2086 [Matt Caswell]
2087
2088 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2089
2090 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2091 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2092 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2093 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2094 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2095 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2096 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2097 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2098 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2099 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2100 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2101 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2102 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2103 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2104 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2105 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

2111 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2112
2113 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2114 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2115 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2116
2117 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2118 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2119 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS

2152 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2153 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2154
2155 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2156 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2157 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2158 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2159 will need to explicitly call either of:
2160
2161 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2162 or
2163 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2164
2165 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2166 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2167 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2168 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2169 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

2174
2175 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2176 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2177 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2178 considered rare.

2186
2187 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2188
2189 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2190 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2191 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2192 is configured.
2193
2194 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2195 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2196 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2197 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2198 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2199 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2200 that of a valid user.
2201 (CVE-2016-0798)
2202 [Emilia Käsper]
2203
2204 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2205
2206 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2207 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2208 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2209 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2210 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2211 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2212 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2213 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2214 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2215 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2216 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2217
2218 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2219 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2220 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2221 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2222 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2223
2224 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2225 (CVE-2016-0797)
2226 [Matt Caswell]
2227
2228 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2229
2230 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2231 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2232 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2233
2234 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2235 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2236 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2237 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2238 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2239 also occur.
2240
2241 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2242 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2243 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2244 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2245 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2246 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2247 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2248 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2249 as command line arguments.
2250
2251 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2252 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2253 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2254
2255 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.

2257 [Matt Caswell]
2258
2259 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2260
2261 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2262 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2263 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2264 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2265 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2266
2267 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2268 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

2275 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2276 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2277 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2278 [Emilia Käsper]
2279
2280 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2281 *) DH small subgroups
2282
2283 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2284 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2285 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2286 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2287 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2288 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2289 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2290 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2291 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2292 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2293
2294 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2295 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2296 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2297 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2298 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2299
2300 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2301 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2302 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2303 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2304
2305 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2306 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2307
2308 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

2311
2312 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2313
2314 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2315 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2316 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2317 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2325
2326 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2327
2328 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2329 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2330 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2331 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2332 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2333 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2334 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2335 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2336 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2337 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2338 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2339 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2349 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2350 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2351 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2352 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2353 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

2385
2386 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2387 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2388 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2389 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2390 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2391 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2408 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2409 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2410 field.
2411
2412 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2413 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2414 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2415 client authentication enabled.

2425 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2426 time string.
2427
2428 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2429 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2430 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2431 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client

2481 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2482 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2483 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2484
2485 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2486 University.
2487 (CVE-2015-0291)
2488 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2489
2490 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2491
2492 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2493 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2494 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2495 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2496 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2497 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2498 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2499 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2500
2501 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2502 (CVE-2015-0290)
2503 [Matt Caswell]
2504
2505 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2506
2507 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2508 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2509 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2510 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2511 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2512 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2513 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2514 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2515 server.
2516
2517 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2518 (CVE-2015-0207)
2519 [Matt Caswell]
2520
2521 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2522
2523 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2524 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2525 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2526 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2527 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2528 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2529 (CVE-2015-0286)
2530 [Stephen Henson]
2531
2532 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2533
2534 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2535 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2536 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2537 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2538 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2539 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2540 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2541
2542 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2543 (CVE-2015-0208)
2544 [Stephen Henson]
2545
2546 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2547
2548 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2549 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2550 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2551
2552 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2553 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2554 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2555 not affected.
2556 (CVE-2015-0287)
2557 [Stephen Henson]
2558
2559 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2560
2561 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2562 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2563 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2564
2565 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2566 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2567 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2568
2569 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2570 (CVE-2015-0289)
2571 [Emilia Käsper]
2572
2573 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2574
2575 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2576 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2577 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2578
2579 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2580 (OpenSSL development team).
2581 (CVE-2015-0293)
2582 [Emilia Käsper]
2583
2584 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2585
2586 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2587 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2588 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2589 (CVE-2015-1787)
2590 [Matt Caswell]
2591
2592 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2593
2594 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2595 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2596 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2597 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2598 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2599 SSL_client_methodv23)
2600 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2601 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2602
2603 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2604 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2605 output may be predictable.
2606
2607 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2608 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2609
2610 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2611 (CVE-2015-0285)
2612 [Matt Caswell]
2613
2614 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2615
2616 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2617 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2618 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2619 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2620 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2621 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2622
2623 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2624 commit 517073cd4b.
2625 (CVE-2015-0209)
2626 [Matt Caswell]
2627
2628 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2629
2630 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2631 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2632
2633 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2634 (CVE-2015-0288)
2635 [Stephen Henson]
2636
2637 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2638 [Kurt Roeckx]
2639
2640 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2641
2642 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2643 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2644 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2645 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2646 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2647 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2648 [Andy Polyakov]
2649
2650 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2651 (other platforms pending).
2652 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2653
2654 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2655 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2656 [Rob Stradling]
2657
2658 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2659 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2660 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2661 [Bodo Moeller]
2662
2663 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2664 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2665 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2666 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2667 [Andy Polyakov]
2668
2669 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2670 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2671
2672 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2673 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2674 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2675 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2676 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2677
2678 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2679 [Andy Polyakov]
2680
2681 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2682 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2683 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2684 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2685
2686 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2687 RSAZ.
2688 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2689
2690 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2691 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2692 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2693 for TLS encrypt.
2694
2695 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2696 [Andy Polyakov]
2697
2698 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2699 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2700 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2701 [Steve Henson]
2702
2703 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2704 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2705 [Steve Henson]
2706
2707 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2708 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2709 [Steve Henson]
2710
2711 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2712 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2713 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2714 algorithms and include tests cases.
2715 [Steve Henson]
2716
2717 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2718 structure.
2719 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2720
2721 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2722 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2723 [Steve Henson]
2724
2725 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2726 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2727 summary of the connection parameters.
2728 [Steve Henson]
2729
2730 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2731 of connection parameters.
2732 [Steve Henson]
2733
2734 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2735 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2736
2737 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2738 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2739 [Steve Henson]
2740
2741 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2742 [Steve Henson]
2743
2744 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2745 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2746 [Steve Henson]
2747
2748 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2749 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2750 [Steve Henson]
2751
2752 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2753 certificates.
2754 [Steve Henson]
2755
2756 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2757 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2758 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2759 [Steve Henson]
2760
2761 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2762 [Steve Henson]
2763
2764 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2765 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2766 [Steve Henson]
2767
2768 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2769 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2770 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2771 tracing.
2772 [Steve Henson]
2773
2774 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2775 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2776 [Steve Henson]
2777
2778 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2779 OID NID.
2780 [Steve Henson]
2781
2782 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2783 client to OpenSSL.
2784 [Steve Henson]
2785
2786 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2787 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2788 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2789 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2790 [Steve Henson]
2791
2792 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2793 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2794 [Steve Henson]
2795
2796 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2797 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2798 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2799 comparison.
2800 [Steve Henson]
2801
2802 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2803 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2804 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2805 use the certificate.
2806 [Steve Henson]
2807
2808 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2809 [Steve Henson]
2810
2811 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2812 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2813 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2814 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2815 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2816 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2817 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2818
2819 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2820 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2821
2822 [Steve Henson]
2823
2824 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2825 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2826 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2827 [Steve Henson]
2828
2829 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2830 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2831 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2832 supported signature algorithms.
2833 [Steve Henson]
2834
2835 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2836 [Steve Henson]
2837
2838 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2839 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2840 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2841 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2842 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2843 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2844 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2845 [Steve Henson]
2846
2847 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2848 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2849 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2850 to have similar checks in it.
2851
2852 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2853 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2854 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2855 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2856 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2857 [Steve Henson]
2858
2859 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2860 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2861 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2862 shared signature algorithms.
2863 [Steve Henson]
2864
2865 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2866 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2867 to support them.
2868 [Steve Henson]
2869
2870 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2871 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2872 it couldn't be removed.
2873 [Steve Henson]
2874
2875 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2876 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2877 [Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2880 functions. Add manual page.
2881 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2882
2883 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2884 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2885 a certificate.
2886 [Steve Henson]
2887
2888 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2889 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2890
2891 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2892 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2893 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2894 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2895 utility) or reject.
2896 [Steve Henson]
2897
2898 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2899 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2900 [Steve Henson]
2901
2902 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2903 platform support for Linux and Android.
2904 [Andy Polyakov]
2905
2906 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2907 [Andy Polyakov]
2908
2909 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2910 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2911 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2912 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2913 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2914 [Steve Henson]
2915
2916 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2917 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2918 the new parameter format automatically.
2919 [Steve Henson]
2920
2921 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2922 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2923 [Steve Henson]
2924
2925 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2926 [Steve Henson]
2927
2928 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2929 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2930 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2931 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2932 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2933 [Steve Henson]
2934
2935 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2936 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2937 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2938 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2939 to set list of supported curves.
2940 [Steve Henson]
2941
2942 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2943 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2944 to print out received values.
2945 [Steve Henson]
2946
2947 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2948 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2949 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2950 [Steve Henson]
2951
2952 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2953 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2957 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2958 [Steve Henson]
2959
2960 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2961 certificates.
2962 [Steve Henson]
2963
2964 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2965 the certificate.
2966 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2967 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2968 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2969
2970 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2971
2972 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2973 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2974
2975 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2976
2977 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2978 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2979 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2980 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2981 (CVE-2014-3571)
2982 [Steve Henson]
2983
2984 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2985 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2986 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2987 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2988 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2989 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2990 (CVE-2015-0206)
2991 [Matt Caswell]
2992
2993 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2994 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2995 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2996 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2997 (CVE-2014-3569)
2998 [Kurt Roeckx]
2999
3000 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3001 ECDH ciphersuites.
3002
3003 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3004 reporting this issue.
3005 (CVE-2014-3572)
3006 [Steve Henson]
3007
3008 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3009 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3010 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3011 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3012 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3013 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3014 (CVE-2015-0204)
3015 [Steve Henson]
3016
3017 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3018 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3019 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3020 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3021 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3022 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3023 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3024 this issue.
3025 (CVE-2015-0205)
3026 [Steve Henson]
3027
3028 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3029 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3030
3031 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3032 and can vary with the CTX.
3033 [Adam Langley]
3034
3035 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3036
3037 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3038 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3039 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3040 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3041 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3042
3043 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3044
3045 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3046 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3047
3048 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3049
3050 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3051 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3052 errors for some broken certificates.
3053
3054 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3055
3056 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3057
3058 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3059 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3060
3061 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3062 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3063 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3064 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3065
3066 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3067 of the OpenSSL core team.
3068
3069 (CVE-2014-8275)
3070 [Steve Henson]
3071
3072 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3073 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3074 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3075 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3076 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3077 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3078 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3079 the OpenSSL core team.
3080 (CVE-2014-3570)
3081 [Andy Polyakov]
3082
3083 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3084 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3085 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3086 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3087 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3088
3089 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3090 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3091 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3092 [Emilia Käsper]
3093
3094 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3095 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3096 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3097 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3098 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3099
3100 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3101 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3102 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3103 [Emilia Käsper]
3104
3105 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3106
3107 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3108
3109 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3110 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3111 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3112 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3113 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3114 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3115 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3116
3117 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3118 (CVE-2014-3513)
3119 [OpenSSL team]
3120
3121 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3122
3123 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3124 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3125 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3126 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3127 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3128 attack.
3129 (CVE-2014-3567)
3130 [Steve Henson]
3131
3132 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3133
3134 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3135 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3136 configured to send them.
3137 (CVE-2014-3568)
3138 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3139
3140 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3141 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3142 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3143 (CVE-2014-3566)
3144 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3145
3146 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3147
3148 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3149 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3150 DigestInfo structures.
3151
3152 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3153
3154 [Steve Henson]
3155
3156 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3157
3158 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3159 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3160 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3161
3162 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3163 Group for discovering this issue.
3164 (CVE-2014-3512)
3165 [Steve Henson]
3166
3167 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3168 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3169 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3170 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3171 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3172
3173 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3174 researching this issue.
3175 (CVE-2014-3511)
3176 [David Benjamin]
3177
3178 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3179 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3180 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3181 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3182
3183 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3184 issue.
3185 (CVE-2014-3510)
3186 [Emilia Käsper]
3187
3188 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3189 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3190 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3191 (CVE-2014-3507)
3192 [Adam Langley]
3193
3194 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3195 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3196 Denial of Service attack.
3197 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3198 (CVE-2014-3506)
3199 [Adam Langley]
3200
3201 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3202 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3203 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3204 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3205 this issue.
3206 (CVE-2014-3505)
3207 [Adam Langley]
3208
3209 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3210 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3211 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3212
3213 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3214 issue.
3215 (CVE-2014-3509)
3216 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3217
3218 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3219 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3220 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3221 Denial of Service attack.
3222
3223 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3224 discovering and researching this issue.
3225 (CVE-2014-5139)
3226 [Steve Henson]
3227
3228 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3229 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3230 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3231 output to the attacker.
3232
3233 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3234 (CVE-2014-3508)
3235 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3236
3237 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3238 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3239 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3240 [Bodo Moeller]
3241
3242 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3243
3244 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3245 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3246 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3247
3248 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3249 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3250 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3251
3252 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3253 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3254 in a DoS attack.
3255
3256 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3257 (CVE-2014-0221)
3258 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3259
3260 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3261 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3262 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3263 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3264
3265 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3266 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3267
3268 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3269 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3270
3271 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3272 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3273 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3274
3275 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3276 compilation flags.
3277 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3278
3279 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3280 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3281 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3282
3283 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3284 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3285
3286 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3287
3288 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3289 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3290 server.
3291
3292 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3293 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3294 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3295 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3296
3297 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3298 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3299 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3300 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3301
3302 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3303 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3304 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3305
3306 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3307
3308 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3309 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3310 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3311 is at least 512 bytes long.
3312
3313 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3314
3315 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3316
3317 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3318 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3319 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3320 (CVE-2013-4353)
3321
3322 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3323 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3324 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3325 [Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3328 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3329 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3330 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3331 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3332 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3333 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3334
3335 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3336
3337 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3338 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3339 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3340
3341 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3342
3343 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3344
3345 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3346 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3347 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3348
3349 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information

3351 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3352 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3353 (CVE-2013-0169)
3354 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3355
3356 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3357 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3358 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3359 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger

3361 (CVE-2012-2686)
3362 [Adam Langley]

3364 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3365 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3369 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3370
3371 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3372 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3373 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3374 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3375 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3376
3377 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3378 [Steve Henson]
3379
3380 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3381 if renegotiating.
3382 [Steve Henson]
3383
3384 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3385
3386 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3387 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3388
3389 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3390 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3391 (CVE-2012-2333)
3392 [Steve Henson]
3393
3394 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3395 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3396 [Steve Henson]
3397
3398 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3399 approved.
3400 [Steve Henson]
3401
3402 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3403
3404 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3405 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3406 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3407 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3408 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3409 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3410 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3411 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3412 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3413 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3414 [Steve Henson]
3415
3416 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3417 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3418 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3419 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3420 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3421 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3422 client side.
3423 [Andy Polyakov]
3424
3425 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3426
3427 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3428 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3429 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3430
3431 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3432 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3433 (CVE-2012-2110)
3434 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3435
3436 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3437 [Adam Langley]
3438
3439 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3440 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3441
3442 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3443 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3444 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3445 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3446 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3447 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3448 Most broken servers should now work.
3449 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3450 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3451 [Steve Henson]
3452
3453 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3454 [Andy Polyakov]
3455
3456 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3457
3458 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3459 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3460 [Steve Henson]
3461
3462 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3463 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3464 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3465 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3466 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3467 [Steve Henson]
3468
3469 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3470 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3471 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3472 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3473 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3474 [Steve Henson]
3475
3476 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3477 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3478
3479 *) Add support for SCTP.
3480 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3481
3482 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3483 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3484
3485 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3486
3487 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3488 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3489 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3490 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3491 - s390x: z196 support;
3492 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3493
3494 [Andy Polyakov]
3495
3496 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3497 (removal of unnecessary code)
3498 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3499
3500 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3501 [Eric Rescorla]
3502
3503 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3504 [Eric Rescorla]
3505
3506 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3507 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3508 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3509 by Google.
3510 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3511
3512 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3513 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3514 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3515 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3516 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3517
3518 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3519 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3520 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3521
3522 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3523 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3524 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3525
3526 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3527 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3528 implementations).
3529 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3530
3531 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3532 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3533 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3534 [Steve Henson]
3535
3536 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3537 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3538 particular PSS.
3539 [Steve Henson]
3540
3541 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3542 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3543 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3544 [Steve Henson]
3545
3546 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3547 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3548 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3549 the appropriate parameters.
3550 [Steve Henson]
3551
3552 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3553 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3554 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3555 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3556 against a number of sample certificates.
3557 [Steve Henson]
3558
3559 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3560 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3561
3562 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3563 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3564
3565 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3566 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3567 parameters r, s.
3568 [Steve Henson]
3569
3570 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3571 RFC3211.
3572 [Steve Henson]
3573
3574 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3575 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3576 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3577 password based CMS).
3578 [Steve Henson]
3579
3580 *) Session-handling fixes:
3581 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3582 but also support Session Tickets.
3583 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3584 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3585 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3586 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3587 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3588 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3589
3590 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3591 [Bodo Moeller]
3592
3593 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3594
3595 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3596 [Andy Polyakov]
3597
3598 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3599 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3600 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3601 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3602 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3603 [Steve Henson]
3604
3605 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3606 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3607 [Steve Henson]
3608
3609 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3610 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3611 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3612 [Steve Henson]
3613
3614 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3615 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3616 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3617 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3618 [Steve Henson]
3619
3620 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3621 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3622 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3623 [Steve Henson]
3624
3625 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3626 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3627
3628 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3629 [Steve Henson]
3630
3631 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3632 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3633 [Steve Henson]
3634
3635 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3636 [Steve Henson]
3637
3638 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3639 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3640 [Steve Henson]
3641
3642 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3643 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3644 [Steve Henson]
3645
3646 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3650 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3651 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3652 [Steve Henson]
3653
3654 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3655 [Steve Henson]
3656
3657 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3658 [Steve Henson]
3659
3660 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3661 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3662 [Steve Henson]
3663
3664 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3665 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3666 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3667 [Steve Henson]
3668
3669 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3670 [Steve Henson]
3671
3672 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3673 and enable MD5.
3674 [Steve Henson]
3675
3676 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3677 FIPS modules versions.
3678 [Steve Henson]
3679
3680 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3681 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3682 until after the certificate request message is received.
3683 [Steve Henson]
3684
3685 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3686 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3687 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3688 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3689 [Steve Henson]
3690
3691 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3692 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3693 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3694 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3695 [Steve Henson]
3696
3697 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3698 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3699 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3700 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3701 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3702 and version checking.
3703 [Steve Henson]
3704
3705 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3706 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3707 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3708 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3709 [Steve Henson]
3710
3711 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3712 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3713 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3714 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3715 Ben Laurie]
3716
3717 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3718 [Steve Henson]
3719
3720 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3721 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3722 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3723
3724 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3725 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3726 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3727 [Steve Henson]
3728
3729 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3730 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3731
3732 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3733 a few changes are required:
3734
3735 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3736 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3737 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3738 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3739 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3740 [Steve Henson]
3741
3742 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3743
3744 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3745 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3746 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3747 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3748 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3749 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3750 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3751 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3752 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3753 [Steve Henson]
3754
3755 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3756 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3757 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3758 [Steve Henson]
3759
3760 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3761
3762 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3763 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3764 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3765 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3766 [Antonio Martin]
3767
3768 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3769
3770 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3771 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3772 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3773 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3774 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3775 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3776 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3777 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3778 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3779 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3780 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3781 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3782 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3783
3784 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3785 (CVE-2011-4576)
3786 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3787
3788 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3789 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3790 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3791 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3792
3793 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3794 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3795
3796 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3797 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3798 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3799 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3800
3801 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3802 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3803
3804 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3805 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3806
3807 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3808 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3809
3810 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3811 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3812 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3813
3814 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3815 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3816 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3817
3818 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3819 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3820 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3821 the last update always remained unused).
3822 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3823
3824 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3825 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3826
3827 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3828
3829 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3830 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3831 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3832
3833 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3834 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3835 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3836
3837 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3838 [Bodo Moeller]
3839
3840 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3841 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3842 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3843 [Steve Henson]
3844
3845 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3846 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3847
3848 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3849
3850 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3851
3852 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3853
3854 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3855 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3856
3857 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3858 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3859 ambiguous.
3860 [Steve Henson]
3861
3862 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3863
3864 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3865 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3866 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3867 [Steve Henson]
3868
3869 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3870 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3871 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3872 [Ben Laurie]
3873
3874 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3875
3876 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3877 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3878 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3879 [Steve Henson]
3880
3881 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3882 a DLL.
3883 [Steve Henson]
3884
3885 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3886
3887 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3888 (CVE-2010-1633)
3889 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3890
3891 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3892
3893 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3894 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3895 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3896 [Steve Henson]
3897
3898 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3899 [Steve Henson]
3900
3901 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3902 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3903 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3904
3905 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3906 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3907 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3908 [Steve Henson]
3909
3910 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3911 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3912 [Steve Henson]
3913
3914 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3915 some responders need this.
3916 [Steve Henson]
3917
3918 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3919 correctly.
3920 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3921
3922 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3923 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3924 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3925 [Steve Henson]
3926
3927 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3928 [Steve Henson]
3929
3930 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3931 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3932 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3933 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3934 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3935 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3936 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3937 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3938 [Steve Henson]
3939
3940 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3941 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3942 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3943 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3944
3945 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3946 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3947
3948 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3949 be used on C++.
3950 [Steve Henson]
3951
3952 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3953 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3954 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3955 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3956 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3957 attempting to work them out.
3958 [Steve Henson]
3959
3960 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3961 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3962 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3963 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3964 [Steve Henson]
3965
3966 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3967 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3968 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3969 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3970 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3971 [Steve Henson]
3972
3973 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3974 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3975 you can do:
3976
3977 openssl sha256 foo
3978
3979 as well as:
3980
3981 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3982
3983 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3984
3985 [Steve Henson]
3986
3987 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3988 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3989
3990 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3991 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3992
3993 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3994 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3995 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3996 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3997 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3998 [Steve Henson]
3999
4000 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4001 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4002 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4003 [Steve Henson]
4004
4005 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4006 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4007 [Steve Henson]
4008
4009 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4010 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4011
4012 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4013 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4014 [Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4017 [Ben Laurie]
4018
4019 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4020 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4021 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4022 CONF_VALUE.
4023 [Ben Laurie]
4024
4025 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4026 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4027 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4028 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4029 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4030 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4031 [Steve Henson]
4032
4033 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4034 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4035
4036 This work was sponsored by Google.
4037 [Steve Henson]
4038
4039 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4040 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4041 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4042 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4043 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4044 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4045 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4046 default.
4047
4048 This work was sponsored by Google.
4049 [Steve Henson]
4050
4051 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4052
4053 This work was sponsored by Google.
4054 [Steve Henson]
4055
4056 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4057 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4058 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4059 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4060
4061 This work was sponsored by Google.
4062 [Steve Henson]
4063
4064 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4065 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4066 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4067 CRL functionality in future.
4068
4069 This work was sponsored by Google.
4070 [Steve Henson]
4071
4072 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4073
4074 This work was sponsored by Google.
4075 [Steve Henson]
4076
4077 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4078 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4079
4080 This work was sponsored by Google.
4081 [Steve Henson]
4082
4083 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4084 and URI types are currently supported.
4085
4086 This work was sponsored by Google.
4087 [Steve Henson]
4088
4089 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4090 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4091 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4092 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4093 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4094 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4095 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4096 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4097
4098 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4099 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4100 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4101
4102 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4103 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4104 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4105 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4106
4107 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4108 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4109 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4110 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4111 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4112 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4113 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4114 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4115 of &errno.)
4116 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4117
4118 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4119 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4120 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4121
4122 This work was sponsored by Google.
4123 [Steve Henson]
4124
4125 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4126 [Ben Laurie]
4127
4128 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4129 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4130 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4131 [Ben Laurie]
4132
4133 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4134 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4135 [Nick Mathewson]
4136
4137 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4138 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4139 [Ben Laurie]
4140
4141 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4142 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4143 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4144 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4145 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4146 content types and variants.
4147 [Steve Henson]
4148
4149 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4150 [Steve Henson]
4151
4152 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4153 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4154 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4155 files from the associated perl scripts.
4156 [Steve Henson]
4157
4158 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4159 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4160 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4161
4162 *) s390x assembler pack.
4163 [Andy Polyakov]
4164
4165 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4166 "family."
4167 [Andy Polyakov]
4168
4169 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4170 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4171 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4172 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4173 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4174 to use. For example, specify an option
4175
4176 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4177
4178 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4179 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4180 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4181 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4182 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4183 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4184
4185 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4186 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4187 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4188 return non-zero for success.
4189
4190 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4191 by using
4192
4193 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4194 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4195
4196 where
4197
4198 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4199 void *arg;
4200
4201 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4202 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4203 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4204 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4205 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4206 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4207 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4208 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4209 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4210
4211 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4212 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4213 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4214 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4215 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4216 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4217
4218 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4219 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4220 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4221 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4222 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4223 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4224
4225 [Bodo Moeller]
4226
4227 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4228 MAC.
4229
4230 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4231
4232 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4233 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4234 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4235 supported.
4236
4237 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4238 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4239 SSL_SESSION.
4240
4241 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4242 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4243 with no application modification.
4244
4245 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4246 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4247
4248 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4249 or server extensions to be examined.
4250
4251 This work was sponsored by Google.
4252 [Steve Henson]
4253
4254 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4255 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4256 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4257
4258 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4259 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4260 ciphersuite support.
4261 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4262
4263 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4264 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4265 to output in BER and PEM format.
4266 [Steve Henson]
4267
4268 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4269 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4270 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4271 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4272 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4273 [Steve Henson]
4274
4275 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4276 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4277 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4278 utility.
4279 [Steve Henson]
4280
4281 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4282 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4283 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4284 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4285 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4286 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4287 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4288 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4289 enabled again.
4290
4291 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4292 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4293 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4294 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4295
4296 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4297 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4298 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4299 the default order.
4300 [Bodo Moeller]
4301
4302 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4303 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4304 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4305 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4306 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4307 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4308 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4309 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4310 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4311
4312 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4313 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4314 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4315 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4316 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4317 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4318 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4319 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4320 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4321 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4322 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4323 kinds of kludges.
4324
4325 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4326 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4327 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4328
4329 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4330 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4331 "CAMELLIA256".
4332 [Bodo Moeller]
4333
4334 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4335 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4336 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4337 [Nils Larsch]
4338
4339 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4340 it yet and it is largely untested.
4341 [Steve Henson]
4342
4343 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4344 [Nils Larsch]
4345
4346 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4347 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4348 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4349 [Steve Henson]
4350
4351 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4352 [Andy Polyakov]
4353
4354 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4355 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4356 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4357 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4358 [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4361 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4362 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4363 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4364 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4365 [Steve Henson]
4366
4367 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4368 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4369 [Cryptocom]
4370
4371 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4372 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4373 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4374 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4375 [Steve Henson]
4376
4377 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4378 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4379 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4380 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4381 [Steve Henson]
4382
4383 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4384 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4385 [Steve Henson]
4386
4387 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4388 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4389 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4390 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4391 [Steve Henson]
4392
4393 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4394 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4395 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4396 [Steve Henson]
4397
4398 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4399 utility.
4400 [Steve Henson]
4401
4402 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4403 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4404 [Steve Henson]
4405
4406 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4407 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4408 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4409 if necessary.
4410 [Steve Henson]
4411
4412 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4413 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4414 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4415 [Steve Henson]
4416
4417 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4418 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4419 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4420 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4421 [Steve Henson]
4422
4423 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4424 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4425 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4426 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4427 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4428 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4429 [Douglas Stebila]
4430
4431 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4432 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4433 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4434 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4435 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4436
4437 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4438 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4439 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4440 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4441 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4442 protocol).
4443
4444 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4445 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4446 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4447 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4448
4449 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4450 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4451 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4452 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4453 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4454
4455 aECDH - ECDH cert
4456 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4457 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4458
4459 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4460 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4461
4462 [Bodo Moeller]
4463
4464 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4465 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4466 [Steve Henson]
4467
4468 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4469 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4470 [Steve Henson]
4471
4472 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4473 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4474 functional reference processing.
4475 [Steve Henson]
4476
4477 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4478 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4479 process.
4480 [Steve Henson]
4481
4482 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4483 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4484 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4485 [Steve Henson]
4486
4487 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4488 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4489 application to support multiple signers.
4490 [Steve Henson]
4491
4492 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4493 digest MAC.
4494 [Steve Henson]
4495
4496 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4497 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4498 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4499 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4500 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4501 [Steve Henson]
4502
4503 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4504 new API.
4505 [Steve Henson]
4506
4507 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4508 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4509 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4510 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4511 a no op.
4512 [Steve Henson]
4513
4514 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4515 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4516 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4517 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4518 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4519 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4520 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4521 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4522 [Steve Henson]
4523
4524 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4525 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4526 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4527 between digests and public key types.
4528 [Steve Henson]
4529
4530 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4531 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4532 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4533 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4534 [Steve Henson]
4535
4536 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4537 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4538 key ASN1 method.
4539 [Steve Henson]
4540
4541 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4542 [Steve Henson]
4543
4544 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4545 pkeyutl.
4546 [Steve Henson]
4547
4548 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4549 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4550 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4551 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4552 pkey, genpkey.
4553 [Steve Henson]
4554
4555 *) BeOS support.
4556 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4557
4558 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4559 manual pages.
4560 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4561
4562 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4563 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4564 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4565 functionality for RSA.
4566 [Steve Henson]
4567
4568 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4569 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4570 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4571 [Steve Henson]
4572
4573 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4574 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4575 [Steve Henson]
4576
4577 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4578 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4579 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4580 [Steve Henson]
4581
4582 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4583 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4584 [Douglas Stebila]
4585
4586 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4587 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4588 [Steve Henson]
4589
4590 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4591 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4592 type.
4593 [Steve Henson]
4594
4595 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4596 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4597 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4598 structure.
4599 [Steve Henson]
4600
4601 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4602 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4603 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4604 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4605 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4606 of public and private key structures.
4607 [Steve Henson]
4608
4609 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4610 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4611 [Douglas Stebila]
4612
4613 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4614 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4615 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4616
4617 New ciphersuites:
4618 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4619 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4620
4621 New functions:
4622 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4623 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4624 SSL_get_psk_identity
4625 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4626
4627 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4628
4629 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4630 and response verification functionality.
4631 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4632
4633 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4634 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4635 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4636 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4637 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4638 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4639 server_name extension.
4640
4641 New functions (subject to change):
4642
4643 SSL_get_servername()
4644 SSL_get_servername_type()
4645 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4646
4647 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4648
4649 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4650 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4651 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4652 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4653 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4654
4655 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4656
4657 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4658 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4659 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4660 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4661 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4662 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4663 option.
4664
4665 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4666
4667 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4668 [Andy Polyakov]
4669
4670 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4671 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4672 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4673 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4674 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4675 [Andy Polyakov]
4676
4677 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4678 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4679 macro.
4680 [Bodo Moeller]
4681
4682 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4683 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4684 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4685 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4686 [Andy Polyakov]
4687
4688 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4689 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4690 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4691 using the maximum available value.
4692 [Steve Henson]
4693
4694 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4695 in addition to the text details.
4696 [Bodo Moeller]
4697
4698 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4699 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4700 handle several customised structures at all.
4701 [Steve Henson]
4702
4703 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4704 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4705 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4706 [Steve Henson]
4707
4708 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4709 [Steve Henson]
4710
4711 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4712 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4713 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4714 [Steve Henson]
4715
4716 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4717 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4718 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4719 [Nils Larsch]
4720
4721 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4722 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4723 all fields.
4724 [Steve Henson]
4725
4726 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4727 [Steve Henson]
4728
4729 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4730 [NTT]
4731
4732 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4733
4734 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4735 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4736 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4737 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4738 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4739 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4740 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4741 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4742
4743 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4744 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4745 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4746
4747 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4748
4749 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4750 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4751
4752 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4753 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4754 [Bodo Moeller]
4755
4756 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4757 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4758 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4759 [Steve Henson]
4760
4761 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4762 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4763 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4764 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4765 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4766 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4767 [Steve Henson]
4768
4769 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4770 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4771 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4772 [Steve Henson]
4773
4774 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4775 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4776 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4777 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4778 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4779 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4780 CVE-2009-4355.
4781 [Steve Henson]
4782
4783 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4784 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4785 [Bodo Moeller]
4786
4787 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4788 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4789 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4790 [Steve Henson]
4791
4792 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4793 [Steve Henson]
4794
4795 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4796 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4797 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4798 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4799 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4800 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4801 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4802 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4803 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4804 [Steve Henson]
4805
4806 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4807 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4808 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4809 [Steve Henson]
4810
4811 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4812 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4813 [Steve Henson]
4814
4815 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4816 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4817 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4818 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4819 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4820 know what you are doing.
4821 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4822
4823 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4824 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4825 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4826 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4827 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4828 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4829 the handshake.
4830 [Steve Henson]
4831
4832 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4833 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4834 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4835 correctly.
4836 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4837
4838 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4839 warnings in other configurations.
4840 [Steve Henson]
4841
4842 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4843 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4844 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4845 systems need.
4846 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4847
4848 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4849 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4850 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4851
4852 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4853 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4854 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4855 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4856 [Steve Henson]
4857
4858 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4859 and restored.
4860 [Steve Henson]
4861
4862 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4863 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4864 clash.
4865 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4866
4867 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4868 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4869 other than a simple chain.
4870 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4871
4872 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4873 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4874 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4875 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4876 [Steve Henson]
4877
4878 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4879 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4880 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4881 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4882 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4883 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4884 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4885 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4886 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4887
4888 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4889 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4890 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4891 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4892 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4893 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4894 (CVE-2009-1377)
4895 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4896
4897 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4898 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4899 [Daniel Mentz]
4900
4901 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4902 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4903
4904 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4905 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4906
4907 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4908
4909 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4910 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4911 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4912 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4913 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4914 you're doing.
4915 [Ben Laurie]
4916
4917 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4918
4919 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4920 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4921 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4922 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4923
4924 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4925 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4926 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4927 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4928
4929 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4930 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4931 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4932 [Steve Henson]
4933
4934 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4935 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4936 level.
4937 [Steve Henson]
4938
4939 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4940 to handle some structures.
4941 [Steve Henson]
4942
4943 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4944 for a '\n'
4945 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4946
4947 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4948 [Matthieu Herrb]
4949
4950 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4951 [Steve Henson]
4952
4953 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4954 [Steve Henson]
4955
4956 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4957 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4958 chosen compiler.
4959 [Ben Laurie]
4960
4961 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4962
4963 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4964 (CVE-2008-5077).
4965 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4966
4967 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4968 [Ben Laurie]
4969
4970 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4971 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4972 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4973 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4974
4975 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4976 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4977
4978 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4979 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4980 [Bodo Moeller]
4981
4982 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4983 s_client and s_server.
4984 [Ben Laurie]
4985
4986 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4987 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4988
4989 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4990 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4991
4992 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4993 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4994 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4995 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4996 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4997 [Bodo Moeller]
4998
4999 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5000
5001 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5002 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5003 [PR #1679]
5004
5005 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5006 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5007 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5008
5009 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5010 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5011 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5012 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5013
5014 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5015 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5016
5017 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5018
5019 *) Various precautionary measures:
5020
5021 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5022
5023 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5024 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5025 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5026
5027 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5028 outside the expected range.
5029
5030 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5031 builds.
5032
5033 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5034
5035 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5036 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5037 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5038
5039 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5040 [Steve Henson]
5041
5042 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5043 [Huang Ying]
5044
5045 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5046
5047 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5048 [Steve Henson]
5049
5050 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5051 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5052 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5053
5054 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5055 [Steve Henson]
5056
5057 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5058 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5059 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5060 files.
5061 [Steve Henson]
5062
5063 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5064
5065 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5066 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5067 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5068 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5069
5070 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5071 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5072 [Joe Orton]
5073
5074 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5075
5076 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5077 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5078 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5079
5080 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5081
5082 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5083 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5084 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5085 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5086 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5087
5088 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5089 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5090 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5091 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5092 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5093 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5094 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5095
5096 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5097
5098 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5099 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5100 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5101 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5102 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5103
5104 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5105 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5106
5107 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5108 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5109 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5110 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5111 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5112
5113 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5114
5115 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5116 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5117 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5118 sets may exist with different names.
5119 [Steve Henson]
5120
5121 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5122 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5123 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5124 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5125 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5126 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5127 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5128 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5129 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5130 implementation.
5131 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5132
5133 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5134 implementation in the following ways:
5135
5136 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5137 hard coded.
5138
5139 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5140 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5141 ignored for embedded content.
5142
5143 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5144 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5145 [Steve Henson]
5146
5147 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5148 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5149 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5150 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5151
5152 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5153 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5154 [Steve Henson]
5155
5156 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5157 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5158 [Steve Henson]
5159
5160 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5161 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5162 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5163 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5164 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5165 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5166 data.
5167 [Steve Henson]
5168
5169 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5170 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5171 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5172
5173 *) Netware support:
5174
5175 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5176 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5177 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5178 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5179 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5180 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5181 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5182 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5183 platform
5184 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5185 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5186 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5187 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5188 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5189 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5190 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5191
5192 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5193 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5194 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5195 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5196 to s_client and s_server.
5197 [Steve Henson]
5198
5199 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5200
5201 *) Fix various bugs:
5202 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5203 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5204 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5205 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5206 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5207
5208 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5209
5210 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5211 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5212 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5213 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5214 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5215 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5216 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5217 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5218 [Andy Polyakov]
5219
5220 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5221 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5222 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5223 Steve Henson]
5224
5225 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5226 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5227 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5228 supported.
5229
5230 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5231 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5232 SSL_SESSION.
5233
5234 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5235 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5236 with no application modification.
5237
5238 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5239 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5240
5241 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5242 or server extensions to be examined.
5243
5244 This work was sponsored by Google.
5245 [Steve Henson]
5246
5247 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5248 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5249 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5250 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5251 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5252 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5253 server_name extension.
5254
5255 New functions (subject to change):
5256
5257 SSL_get_servername()
5258 SSL_get_servername_type()
5259 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5260
5261 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5262
5263 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5264 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5265 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5266 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5267 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5268
5269 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5270
5271 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5272 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5273 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5274 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5275 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5276 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5277 option.
5278
5279 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5280
5281 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5282 [Steve Henson]
5283
5284 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5285 [Andy Polyakov]
5286
5287 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5288 (which previously caused an internal error).
5289 [Bodo Moeller]
5290
5291 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5292 [Ben Laurie]
5293
5294 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5295 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5296
5297 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5298 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5299 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5300
5301 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5302 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5303 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5304 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5305
5306 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5307 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5308 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5309 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5310
5311 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5312 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5313 information. For detailed background information, see
5314 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5315 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5316 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5317 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5318 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5319 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5320 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5321 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5322 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5323 remove a conditional branch.
5324
5325 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5326 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5327 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5328 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5329 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5330 remains as a deprecated alias.
5331
5332 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5333 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5334 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5335 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5336
5337 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5338 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5339 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5340 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5341 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5342 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5343 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5344 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5345
5346 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5347
5348 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5349 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5350 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5351 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5352 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5353 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5354 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5355 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5356 in a different context.
5357 [Bodo Moeller]
5358
5359 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5360 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5361 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5362 [Bodo Moeller]
5363
5364 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5365 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5366 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5367
5368 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5369
5370 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5371 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5372 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5373 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5374 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5375 [Victor Duchovni]
5376
5377 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5378 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5379 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5380 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5381 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5382 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5383 [Bodo Moeller]
5384
5385 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5386 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5387 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5388 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5389 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5390 [Bodo Moeller]
5391
5392 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5393 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5394
5395 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5396 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5397 Improve header file function name parsing.
5398 [Steve Henson]
5399
5400 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5401 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5402 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5403
5404 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5405
5406 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5407 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5408 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5409
5410 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5411 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5412
5413 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5414 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5415
5416 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5417 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5418 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5419
5420 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5421 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5422 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5423 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5424 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5425 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5426 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5427 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5428 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5429
5430 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5431 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5432 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5433 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5434 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5435
5436 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5437 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5438 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5439 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5440 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5441 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5442 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5443 multiple values to extend the available space.
5444
5445 [Bodo Moeller]
5446
5447 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5448
5449 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5450 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5451
5452 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5453 [Ben Laurie]
5454
5455 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5456 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5457 undesirable limitations.
5458 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5459
5460 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5461 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5462 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5463 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5464 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5465 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5466 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5467 [Bodo Moeller]
5468
5469 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5470
5471 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5472 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5473 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5474
5475 The latter two were purportedly from
5476 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5477 appear there.
5478
5479 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5480 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5481 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5482 [Bodo Moeller]
5483
5484 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5485 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5486 [Bodo Moeller]
5487
5488 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5489 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5490 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5491 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5492
5493 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5494 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5495 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5496 [NTT]
5497
5498 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5499 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5500 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5501 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5502 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5503 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5504 [Steve Henson]
5505
5506 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5507
5508 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5509 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5510 [Steve Henson]
5511
5512 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5513 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5514
5515 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5516 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5517 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5518 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5519 [Douglas Stebila]
5520
5521 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5522 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5523 [Steve Henson]
5524
5525 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5526 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5527 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5528 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5529 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5530 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5531 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5532 can't be loaded.
5533 [Steve Henson]
5534
5535 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5536 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5537 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5538 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5539 [Steve Henson]
5540
5541 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5542 under VC++ build system.
5543 [Steve Henson]
5544
5545 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5546 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5547 [Richard Levitte]
5548
5549 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5550
5551 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5552 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5553 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5554 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5555 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5556
5557 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5558 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5559 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5560
5561 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5562 [Steve Henson]
5563
5564 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5565 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5566 [Nils Larsch]
5567
5568 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5569 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5570
5571 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5572 [Nick Mathewson]
5573
5574 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5575 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5576
5577 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5578 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5579 [Steve Henson]
5580
5581 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5582 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5583 smime utility.
5584 [Steve Henson]
5585
5586 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5587
5588 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5589 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5590
5591 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5592 [Richard Levitte]
5593
5594 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5595 key into the same file any more.
5596 [Richard Levitte]
5597
5598 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5599 [Andy Polyakov]
5600
5601 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5602 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5603
5604 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5605 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5606 [Richard Levitte]
5607
5608 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5609 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5610 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5611 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5612 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5613 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5614
5615 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5616 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5617 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5618 [Steve Henson]
5619
5620 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5621 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5622 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5623 - add new function for parameter creation
5624 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5625 BN_BLINDING parameters
5626 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5627 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5628 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5629 threads.
5630 [Nils Larsch]
5631
5632 *) Add support for DTLS.
5633 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5634
5635 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5636 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5637 [Walter Goulet]
5638
5639 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5640 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5641 [Nils Larsch]
5642
5643 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5644 the apps/openssl applications.
5645 [Nils Larsch]
5646
5647 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5648 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5649 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5650 [Ben Laurie]
5651
5652 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5653 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5654
5655 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5656 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5657
5658 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5659 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5660 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5661 avoid this algorithm.)
5662
5663 [Bodo Moeller]
5664
5665 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5666 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5667 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5668 [Richard Levitte]
5669
5670 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5671 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5672 [Andy Polyakov]
5673
5674 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5675 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5676 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5677 pod file:
5678
5679 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5680
5681 The blank line is mandatory.
5682
5683 [Steve Henson]
5684
5685 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5686 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5687 sources.
5688 [Steve Henson]
5689
5690 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5691 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5692
5693 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5694 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5695 to support policy checking and print out.
5696 [Steve Henson]
5697
5698 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5699 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5700 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5701 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5702
5703 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5704 [Geoff Thorpe]
5705
5706 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5707 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5708
5709 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5710 implementation contributed by IBM.
5711 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5712
5713 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5714 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5715 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5716 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5717
5718 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5719 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5720
5721 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5722 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5723 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5724 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5725 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5726 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5727 [Steve Henson]
5728
5729 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5730 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5731 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5732 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5733 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5734 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5735 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5736 [Geoff Thorpe]
5737
5738 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5739 [Steve Henson]
5740
5741 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5742 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5743 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5744 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5745 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5746 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5747 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5748 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5749 [Steve Henson]
5750
5751 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5752 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5753 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5754 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5755 [Steve Henson]
5756
5757 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5758 syntax:
5759
5760 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5761 [Steve Henson]
5762
5763 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5764 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5765 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5766 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5767 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5768 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5769 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5770 [Geoff Thorpe]
5771
5772 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5773 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5774 [Geoff Thorpe]
5775
5776 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5777 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5778 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5779 [Steve Henson]
5780
5781 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5782 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5783 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5784 below).
5785 [Geoff Thorpe]
5786
5787 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5788 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5789 [Richard Levitte]
5790
5791 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5792 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5793 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5794 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5795 [Geoff Thorpe]
5796
5797 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5798 initialised value as BN_new().
5799 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5800
5801 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5802 [Steve Henson]
5803
5804 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5805 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5806 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5807 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5808 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5809 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5810 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5811 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5812 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5813 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5814 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5815 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5816 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5817 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5818 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5819
5820 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5821 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5822 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5823 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5824 [Geoff Thorpe]
5825
5826 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5827 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5828 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5829 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5830 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5831 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5832 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5833 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5834 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5835 [Geoff Thorpe]
5836
5837 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5838 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5839 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5840 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5841 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5842 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5843 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5844 [Geoff Thorpe]
5845
5846 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5847 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5848 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5849 these have been updated also.
5850 [Geoff Thorpe]
5851
5852 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5853 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5854 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5855 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5856 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5857 functions.
5858 [Steve Henson]
5859
5860 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5861 structure of type "other".
5862 [Steve Henson]
5863
5864 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5865 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5866 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5867 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5868 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5869 situation in the script.
5870 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5871
5872 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5873 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5874 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5875 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5876 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5877 used as premaster secret.
5878 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5879
5880 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5881 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5882 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5883
5884 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5885 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5886
5887 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5888 control of the error stack.
5889 [Richard Levitte]
5890
5891 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5892 [Richard Levitte]
5893
5894 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5895 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5896 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5897 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5898 [Richard Levitte]
5899
5900 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5901 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5902 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5903 [Richard Levitte]
5904
5905 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5906 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5907 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5908 a memory area.
5909 [Richard Levitte]
5910
5911 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5912 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5913 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5914 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5915 [Richard Levitte]
5916
5917 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5918 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5919 the following flags are defined:
5920
5921 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5922 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5923 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5924 number.
5925
5926 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5927 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5928 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5929 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5930 returns zero.
5931 [Richard Levitte]
5932
5933 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5934 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5935 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5936 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5937 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5938 [Richard Levitte]
5939
5940 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5941 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5942 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5943 [Richard Levitte]
5944
5945 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5946 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5947 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5948 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5949 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5950 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5951 [Richard Levitte]
5952
5953 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5954 req and dirName.
5955 [Steve Henson]
5956
5957 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5958 [Steve Henson]
5959
5960 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5961 [Steve Henson]
5962
5963 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5964 [Steve Henson]
5965
5966 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5967 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5968 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5969 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5970 default implementation more easily.
5971 [Geoff Thorpe]
5972
5973 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5974 in config files.
5975 [Steve Henson]
5976
5977 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5978 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5979 [Richard Levitte]
5980
5981 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5982 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5983 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5984 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5985
5986 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5987 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5988 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5989 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5990 [Steve Henson]
5991
5992 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5993 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5994 to do it.
5995 [Richard Levitte]
5996
5997 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5998 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5999 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6000 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6001 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6002 scalar * generator).
6003 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6004
6005 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6006 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6007 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6008 correctly.
6009 [Steve Henson]
6010
6011 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6012 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6013 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6014 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6015 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6016 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6017 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6018 linker additions, eg;
6019 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6020 [Geoff Thorpe]
6021
6022 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6023 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6024 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6025 [Geoff Thorpe]
6026
6027 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6028 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6029 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6030 via PR#459)
6031 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6032
6033 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6034 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6035 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6036 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6037 [Geoff Thorpe]
6038
6039 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6040 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6041 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6042 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6043 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6044 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6045 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6046 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6047 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6048 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6049
6050 Example for using the new callback interface:
6051
6052 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6053 void *my_arg = ...;
6054 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6055
6056 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6057
6058 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6059 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6060 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6061 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6062 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6063 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6064 */
6065
6066 [Geoff Thorpe]
6067
6068 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6069 available to TLS with the number defined in
6070 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6071 [Richard Levitte]
6072
6073 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6074 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6075
6076 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6077 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6078 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6079 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6080
6081 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6082 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6083
6084 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6085 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6086 well.
6087 [Richard Levitte]
6088
6089 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6090 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6091 [Richard Levitte]
6092
6093 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6094 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6095 and a macro that behave like
6096 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6097
6098 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6099 [Nils Larsch]
6100
6101 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6102 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6103 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6104 if applicable.
6105 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6106
6107 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6108 [Bodo Moeller]
6109
6110 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6111 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6112 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6113 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6114 directory engines/.
6115 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6116 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6117 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6118 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6119 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6120 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6121 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6122 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6123
6124 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6125 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6126 [Richard Levitte]
6127
6128 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6129 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6130
6131 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6132 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6133 files while avoiding the low level API.
6134
6135 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6136 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6137 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6138 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6139
6140 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6141 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6142 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6143 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6144 instead of the low level API.
6145 [Steve Henson]
6146
6147 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6148 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6149 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6150 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6151 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6152 PKCS#7 code.
6153
6154 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6155 down to the template encoder.
6156 [Steve Henson]
6157
6158 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6159 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6160 [Bodo Moeller]
6161
6162 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6163 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6164 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6165 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6166
6167 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6168 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6169
6170 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6171 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6172
6173 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6174 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6175 [Bodo Moeller]
6176
6177 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6178 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6179 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6180 [Bodo Moeller]
6181
6182 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6183 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6184
6185 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6186 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6187
6188 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6189 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6190 New EC_METHOD:
6191
6192 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6193
6194 New API functions:
6195
6196 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6197 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6198 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6199 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6200 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6201 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6202
6203 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6204 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6205 enable it).
6206
6207 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6208 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6209 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6210 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6211 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6212 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6213 various internal method names.)
6214
6215 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6216 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6217
6218 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6219 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6220
6221 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6222 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6223
6224 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6225 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6226 methods are undefined.
6227
6228 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6229 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6230
6231 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6232 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6233 length of the modulus.
6234
6235 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6236 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6237
6238 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6239 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6240
6241 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6242 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6243
6244 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6245 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6246 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6247
6248 BN_GF2m_add
6249 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6250 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6251 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6252 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6253 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6254 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6255 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6256 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6257 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6258
6259 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6260 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6261
6262 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6263 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6264 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6265 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6266 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6267 where
6268 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6269 This applies to the following functions:
6270
6271 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6272 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6273 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6274 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6275 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6276 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6277 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6278 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6279 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6280 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6281
6282 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6283
6284 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6285 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6286
6287 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6288
6289 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6290 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6291 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6292 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6293 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6294
6295 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6296 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6297
6298 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6299 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6300 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6301
6302 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6303 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6304
6305 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6306 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6307 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6308 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6309 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6310
6311 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6312 functions
6313 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6314 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6315 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6316 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6317 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6318 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6319 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6320 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6321 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6322 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6323 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6324 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6325
6326 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6327 functions
6328 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6329 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6330 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6331 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6332 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6333
6334 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6335 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6336 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6337 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6338
6339 *) Add functions
6340 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6341 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6342 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6343 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6344 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6345 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6346 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6347
6348 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6349 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6350 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6351 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6352 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6353 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6354 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6355 adding different types of curves.
6356 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6357
6358 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6359 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6360 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6361 [Bodo Moeller]
6362
6363 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6364 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6365
6366 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6367 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6368 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6369 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6370
6371 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6372
6373 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6374 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6375
6376 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6377 library. Most notably,
6378 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6379 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6380 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6381 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6382 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6383 extracted before the specific public key;
6384 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6385 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6386
6387 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6388 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6389 function
6390 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6391 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6392 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6393 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6394 accessed via
6395 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6396 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6397 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6398
6399 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6400 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6401 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6402 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6403 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6404 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6405 differing sizes.
6406 [Richard Levitte]
6407
6408 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6409
6410 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6411 sensitive data.
6412 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6413
6414 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6415 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6416 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6417 [Bodo Moeller]
6418
6419 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6420 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6421 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6422 [Victor Duchovni]
6423
6424 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6425 [Steve Henson]
6426
6427 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6428 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6429 [Steve Henson]
6430
6431 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6432 run algorithm test programs.
6433 [Steve Henson]
6434
6435 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6436 [Steve Henson]
6437
6438 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6439 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6440 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6441 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6442 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6443 [Bodo Moeller]
6444
6445 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6446 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6447 [Steve Henson]
6448
6449 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6450
6451 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6452 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6453 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6454
6455 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6456 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6457
6458 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6459 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6460
6461 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6462 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6463 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6464
6465 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6466 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6467 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6468 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6469 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6470 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6471 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6472 [Bodo Moeller]
6473
6474 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6475
6476 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6477 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6478
6479 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6480 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6481 undesirable limitations.
6482 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6483
6484 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6485
6486 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6487 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6488 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6489
6490 The latter two were purportedly from
6491 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6492 appear there.
6493
6494 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6495 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6496 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6497 [Bodo Moeller]
6498
6499 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6500 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6501 [Bodo Moeller]
6502
6503 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6504
6505 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6506 module in FIPS mode.
6507 [Steve Henson]
6508
6509 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6510 [Steve Henson]
6511
6512 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6513 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6514 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6515 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6516 [Steve Henson]
6517
6518 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6519
6520 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6521 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6522 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6523 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6524 the difference induced by this change.
6525 [Andy Polyakov]
6526
6527 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6528
6529 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6530 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6531 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6532 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6533 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6534
6535 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6536 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6537 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6538
6539 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6540 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6541 [Steve Henson]
6542
6543 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6544 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6545 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6546 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6547 biased k.)
6548 [Bodo Moeller]
6549
6550 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6551 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6552 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6553 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6554 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6555
6556 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6557 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6558 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6559 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6560 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6561 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6562
6563 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6564
6565 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6566 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6567 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6568 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6569 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6570 [Bodo Moeller]
6571
6572 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6573 clients need.
6574 [Steve Henson]
6575
6576 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6577 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6578 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6579 [Steve Henson]
6580
6581 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6582 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6583 structures constant.
6584 [Steve Henson]
6585
6586 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6587
6588 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6589 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6590
6591 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6592 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6593 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6594 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6595 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6596 some needed definitions.
6597 [Steve Henson]
6598
6599 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6600 [Ulf Möller]
6601
6602 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6603 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6604 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6605 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6606 [Richard Levitte]
6607
6608 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6609
6610 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6611 server and client random values. Previously
6612 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6613 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6614
6615 This change has negligible security impact because:
6616
6617 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6618 data.
6619
6620 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6621 handshake.
6622
6623 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6624 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6625 values.
6626
6627 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6628 to our attention.
6629
6630 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6631
6632 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6633 [Ulf Möller]
6634
6635 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6636 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6637 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6638
6639 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6640 [Steve Henson]
6641
6642 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6643 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6644 [Andy Polyakov]
6645
6646 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6647 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6648 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6649
6650 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6651 [Steve Henson]
6652
6653 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6654 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6655 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6656 certificates.
6657 [Steve Henson]
6658
6659 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6660 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6661 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6662 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6663
6664 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6665 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6666 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6667 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6668 been given)
6669 [Richard Levitte]
6670
6671 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6672
6673 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6674 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6675 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6676 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6677 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6678 [Steve Henson]
6679
6680 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6681 [Steve Henson]
6682
6683 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6684 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6685
6686 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6687 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6688 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6689 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6690 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6691 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6692 rather than being initialized to 1.
6693 [Steve Henson]
6694
6695 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6696
6697 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6698 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6699 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6700
6701 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6702 (CVE-2004-0112)
6703 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6704
6705 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6706 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6707 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6708 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6709 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6710 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6711 [Richard Levitte]
6712
6713 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6714 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6715 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6716 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6717 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6718 for these cases.
6719 [Steve Henson]
6720
6721 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6722 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6723 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6724 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6725 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6726 [Steve Henson]
6727
6728 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6729 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6730 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6731 < 0.9.7.
6732 [Steve Henson]
6733
6734 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6735 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6736
6737 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6738 [Steve Henson]
6739
6740 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6741
6742 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6743
6744 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6745 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6746
6747 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6748
6749 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6750 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6751
6752 [Steve Henson]
6753
6754 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6755 exiting on the first error in a request.
6756 [Steve Henson]
6757
6758 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6759 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6760 specifications.
6761 [Steve Henson]
6762
6763 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6764 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6765 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6766 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6767
6768 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6769 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6770 [Richard Levitte]
6771
6772 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6773 blocks during encryption.
6774 [Richard Levitte]
6775
6776 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6777 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6778 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6779 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6780 certain size.
6781 [Steve Henson]
6782
6783 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6784 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6785 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6786 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6787 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6788 parser.
6789 [Steve Henson]
6790
6791 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6792
6793 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6794 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6795 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6796 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6797 [Bodo Moeller]
6798
6799 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6800 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6801 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6802 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6803 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6804
6805 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6806 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6807 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6808 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6809 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6810 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6811 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6812 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6813 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6814 [Bodo Moeller]
6815
6816 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6817 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6818 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6819 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6820 [Geoff Thorpe]
6821
6822 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6823 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6824 [Ulf Moeller]
6825
6826 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6827
6828 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6829 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6830 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6831 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6832 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6833
6834 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6835 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6836 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6837
6838 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6839 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6840 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6841 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6842 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6843
6844 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6845 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6846 used by default when no-err is given.
6847 [Richard Levitte]
6848
6849 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6850 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6851
6852 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6853 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6854 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6855 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6856 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6857
6858 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6859 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6860 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6861 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6862
6863 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6864
6865 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6866
6867 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6868
6869 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6870 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6871 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6872 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6873 root is omitted).
6874 [Steve Henson]
6875
6876 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6877 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6878
6879 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6880 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6881 [Steve Henson]
6882
6883 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6884 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6885 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6886 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6887 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6888
6889 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6890 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6891 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6892 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6893 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6894 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6895 followup to PR #377.
6896 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6897
6898 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6899 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6900 [Andy Polyakov]
6901
6902 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6903 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6904 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6905 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6906
6907 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6908
6909 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6910 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6911
6912 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6913 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6914 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6915 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6916 client and server.
6917 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6918 PR #377.
6919 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6920
6921 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6922 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6923 removed entirely.
6924 [Richard Levitte]
6925
6926 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6927 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6928 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6929 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6930 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6931 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6932 of libcrypto.
6933 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6934 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6935 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6936 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6937 have to be made anyway).
6938 [Richard Levitte]
6939
6940 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6941 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6942 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6943 [Steve Henson]
6944
6945 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6946 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6947 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6948 [Richard Levitte]
6949
6950 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6951 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6952 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6953
6954 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6955 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6956 edit numbers of the version.
6957 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6958
6959 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6960 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6961 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6962
6963 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6964 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6965
6966 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6967 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6968 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6969
6970 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6971 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6972
6973 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6974 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6975
6976 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6977 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6978
6979 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6980 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6981
6982 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6983 overflows.
6984 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6985
6986 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6987 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6988 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6989
6990 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6991 representations in a platform independent manner.
6992 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6993
6994 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6995 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6996 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6997
6998 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6999 indents.
7000 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7001
7002 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7003 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7004
7005 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7006 full. Fixed.
7007 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7008
7009 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7010 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7011 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7012
7013 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7014 unconditionally).
7015 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7016
7017 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7018 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7019
7020 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7021 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7022
7023 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7024 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7025
7026 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7027 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7028
7029 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7030 CBCParameter.
7031 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7032
7033 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7034 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7035
7036 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7037 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7038
7039 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7040 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7041 exploitable.
7042 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7043
7044 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7045 the 0.9.6 release series:
7046
7047 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7048 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7049 (CVE-2002-0657)
7050 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7051
7052 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7053 [Richard Levitte]
7054
7055 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7056 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7057
7058 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7059 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7060
7061 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7062 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7063 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7064 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7065
7066 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7067 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7068 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7069
7070 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7071 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7072 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7073 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7074
7075 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7076 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7077 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7078 some local tweaks:
7079
7080 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7081 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7082 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7083 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7084 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7085 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7086 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7087 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7088 done
7089
7090 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7091 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7092 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7093 [Richard Levitte]
7094
7095 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7096 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7097 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7098 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7099 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7100
7101 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7102 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7103
7104 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7105 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7106 [Richard Levitte]
7107
7108 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7109 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7110 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7111 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7112 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7113 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7114 [Steve Henson]
7115
7116 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7117 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7118 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7119 [Steve Henson]
7120
7121 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7122 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7123 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7124
7125 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7126 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7127 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7128 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7129 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7130 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7131 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7132 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7133
7134 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7135 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7136 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7137 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7138 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7139 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7140 [Steve Henson]
7141
7142 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7143 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7144 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7145 declaration has been changed from
7146 int (*cb)()
7147 into
7148 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7149 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7150 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7151 has been changed into
7152 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7153
7154 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7155 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7156 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7157
7158 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7159 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7160
7161 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7162 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7163 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7164 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7165 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7166 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7167 always load it have also been added.
7168 [Steve Henson]
7169
7170 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7171 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7172 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7173
7174 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7175
7176 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7177 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7178 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7179
7180 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7181 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7182 command line option can be used to specify an
7183 alternative file.
7184 [Steve Henson]
7185
7186 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7187 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7188 [Steve Henson]
7189
7190 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7191 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7192 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7193 [Steve Henson]
7194
7195 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7196 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7197 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7198 to work with the new engine framework.
7199 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7200
7201 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7202 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7203 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7204 to work with the new engine framework.
7205 [Richard Levitte]
7206
7207 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7208 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7209 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7210
7211 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7212 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7213
7214 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7215 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7216 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7217 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7218 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7219 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7220
7221 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7222 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7223
7224 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7225 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7226
7227 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7228 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7229 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7230 [Ben Laurie]
7231
7232 *) Add new functions
7233 ERR_peek_last_error
7234 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7235 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7236 These are similar to
7237 ERR_peek_error
7238 ERR_peek_error_line
7239 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7240 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7241 still in the error queue.
7242 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7243
7244 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7245 like:
7246 default_algorithms = ALL
7247 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7251 [Steve Henson]
7252
7253 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7254 [Steve Henson]
7255
7256 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7257 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7258 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7259 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7260
7261 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7262 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7263
7264 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7265 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7266
7267 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7268 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7269 [Bodo Moeller]
7270
7271 *) New functions/macros
7272
7273 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7274 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7275 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7276 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7277
7278 to request calling a callback function
7279
7280 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7281 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7282
7283 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7284 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7285 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7286 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7287 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7288 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7289 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7290 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7291 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7292 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7293
7294 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7295 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7296 [Bodo Moeller]
7297
7298 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7299 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7300 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7301 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7302 the configuration scripts.
7303
7304 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7305 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7306 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7307
7308 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7309 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7310
7311 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7312 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7313 when reusing an existing buffer.
7314 [Bodo Moeller]
7315
7316 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7317 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7318 [Steve Henson]
7319
7320 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7321 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7322 [Ben Laurie]
7323
7324 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7325 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7326 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7327 has the same effect.
7328 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7329
7330 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7331 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7332 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7333 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7334 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7335 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7336 exception.
7337
7338 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7339 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7340 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7341 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7342
7343 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7344 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7345 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7346 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7347
7348 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7349 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7350 won't work.
7351
7352 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7353 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7354 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7355 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7356 default), and then completely removed.
7357 [Richard Levitte]
7358
7359 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7360 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7361 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7362 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7363 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7364 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7365 particular extension is supported.
7366 [Steve Henson]
7367
7368 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7369 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7370 [Steve Henson]
7371
7372 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7373 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7374 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7375 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7376 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7377 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7378 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7379 requires the destination to be valid.
7380
7381 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7382 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7386 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7387 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7388 [Bodo Moeller]
7389
7390 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7391 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7392
7393 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7394 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7395 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7396 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7397 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7398 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7399 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7400 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7401 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7402 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7403 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7404 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7405 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7406 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7407 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7408 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7409 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7410 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7411 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7412 the new code.
7413 [Geoff Thorpe]
7414
7415 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7416 [Steve Henson]
7417
7418 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7419 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7420 become part of libeay.num as well.
7421 [Richard Levitte]
7422
7423 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7424 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7425 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7426 false once a handshake has been completed.
7427 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7428 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7429 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7430 client has followed the request.)
7431 [Bodo Moeller]
7432
7433 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7434 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7435 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7436 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7437
7438 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7439 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7440 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7441 [Bodo Moeller]
7442
7443 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7444 [Steve Henson]
7445
7446 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7447 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7448 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7449 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7450
7451 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7452 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7453 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7454
7455 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7456 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7457 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7458 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7459 [Geoff Thorpe]
7460
7461 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7462 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7463 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7464 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7465 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7466 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7467 [Geoff Thorpe]
7468
7469 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7470 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7471 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7472 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7473 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7474 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7475 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7476 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7477 [Geoff Thorpe]
7478
7479 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7480 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7481 [Geoff Thorpe]
7482
7483 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7484 [Ben Laurie]
7485
7486 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7487 md_data void pointer.
7488 [Ben Laurie]
7489
7490 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7491 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7492 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7493 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7494 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7495 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7496 [Ben Laurie]
7497
7498 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7499 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7500 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7501 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7502 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7503 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7504 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7505 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7506 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7507 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7508 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7509 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7510 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7511 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7512 rather than letting it slide.
7513
7514 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7515 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7516 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7517 [Geoff Thorpe]
7518
7519 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7520 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7521 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7522 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7523 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7524 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7525 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7526 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7527 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7528 [Geoff Thorpe]
7529
7530 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7531 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7532 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7533 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7534 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7535
7536 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7537 [Geoff Thorpe]
7538
7539 *) Add EVP test program.
7540 [Ben Laurie]
7541
7542 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7543 [Ben Laurie]
7544
7545 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7546 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7547 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7548 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7549 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7550 [Steve Henson]
7551
7552 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7553 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7554 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7555 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7556 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7557 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7558 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7559
7560 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7561 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7562 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7563 Usage example:
7564
7565 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7566
7567 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7568 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7569 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7570 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7571 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7572
7573 [Ben Laurie]
7574
7575 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7576 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7577 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7578 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7579 anyway): E.g.,
7580
7581 des_key_schedule ks;
7582
7583 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7584 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7585
7586 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7587 [Ben Laurie]
7588
7589 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7590 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7591 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7592 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7593 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7594 functions prevents this.
7595 [Steve Henson]
7596
7597 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7598 [Ben Laurie]
7599
7600 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7601 correct _ecb suffix.
7602 [Ben Laurie]
7603
7604 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7605 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7606 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7607 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7608 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7609 [Steve Henson]
7610
7611 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7612 [Richard Levitte]
7613
7614 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7615 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7616 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7617 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7618
7619 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7620 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7621
7622 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7623 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7624 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7625 via Richard Levitte]
7626
7627 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7628 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7629 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7630 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7631 [Geoff Thorpe]
7632
7633 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7634 Before:
7635 encrypt
7636 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7637 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

7649 [Ben Laurie]
7650
7651 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7652 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7653
7654 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7655 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7656 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7657 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7658 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7659 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7660 [Steve Henson]
7661
7662 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7663 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7664 [Richard Levitte]
7665
7666 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7667 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7668 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7669 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7670
7671 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7672 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7673 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7674 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7675 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7676 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7677 callback.
7678 [Richard Levitte]
7679
7680 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7681 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7682 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7683 and interrupts/cancellations.
7684 [Richard Levitte]
7685
7686 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7687 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7688 [Steve Henson]
7689
7690 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7691 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7692 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7693
7694 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7695 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7696 kind of callback.
7697 [Richard Levitte]
7698
7699 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7700 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7701 than this minimum value is recommended.
7702 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7703
7704 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7705 that are easily reachable.
7706 [Richard Levitte]
7707
7708 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7709 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7710
7711 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7712
7713 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7714 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7715 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7716 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7717 [Steve Henson]
7718
7719 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7720 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7721 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7722 [Steve Henson]
7723
7724 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7725 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7726 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7727 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7728 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7729 internally such as S/MIME.
7730
7731 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7732 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7733 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7734
7735 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7736 applications.
7737 [Steve Henson]
7738
7739 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7740 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7741 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7742 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7743
7744 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7745
7746 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7747
7748 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7749 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7750 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7751 handling.
7752 [Steve Henson]
7753
7754 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7755 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7756 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7757 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7758 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7759 a window system and the like.
7760 [Richard Levitte]
7761
7762 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7763 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7764 [Geoff]
7765
7766 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7767 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7768 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7769 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7770 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7771 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7772 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7773 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7774 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7775 ENGINE structure.
7776 [Geoff]
7777
7778 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7779 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7780 tag cache.
7781 [Steve Henson]
7782
7783 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7784 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7785 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7786 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7787 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7788 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7789 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7790 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7791 [Geoff]
7792
7793 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7794 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7795 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7796 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7797 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7798 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7799 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7800 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7801 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7802 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7803 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7804 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7805 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7806 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7807 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7808 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7809 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7810 [Geoff]
7811
7812 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7813 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7814 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7815 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7816 internal engine_int.h header.
7817 [Geoff]
7818
7819 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7820 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7821 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7822 modify their own ones).
7823 [Geoff]
7824
7825 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7826 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7827 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7828 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7829 later on via ctrl() commands.
7830 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7831 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7832 structural references.
7833 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7834 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7835 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7836 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7837 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7838 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7839 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7840 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7841 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7842 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7843 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7844 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7845 [Geoff]
7846
7847 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7848 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7849 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7850 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7851 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7852 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7853 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7854 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7855 [Bodo Moeller]
7856
7857 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7858 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7859 [Steve Henson]
7860
7861 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7862 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7863 [Steve Henson]
7864
7865 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7866 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7867 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7868 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7869 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7870 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7871 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7872 [Steve Henson]
7873
7874 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7875 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7876 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7877 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7878 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7879
7880 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7881 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7882 generator).
7883 [Bodo Moeller]
7884
7885 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7886
7887 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7888 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7889 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7890
7891 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7892 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7893
7894 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7895 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7896 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7897
7898 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7899 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7900
7901 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7902 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7903
7904 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7905
7906 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7907 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7908 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7909 [Bodo Moeller]
7910
7911 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7912 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7913 [Richard Levitte]
7914
7915 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7916 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7917 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7918 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7919 is 40 of more characters long.
7920 [Steve Henson]
7921
7922 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7923 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7924 pointers.
7925 [Steve Henson]
7926
7927 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7928 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7929 [Bodo Moeller]
7930
7931 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7932 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7933 might.
7934 [Steve Henson]
7935
7936 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7937
7938 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7939 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7940
7941 ASN1 error codes
7942 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7943 ...
7944 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7945 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7946 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7947 ...
7948 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7949 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7950
7951 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7952 [Bodo Moeller]
7953
7954 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7955 suffices.
7956 [Bodo Moeller]
7957
7958 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7959 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7960 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7961 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7962 and
7963 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7964
7965 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7966 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7967
7968 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7969 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7970 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7971 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7972 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7973 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7974
7975 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7976 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7977
7978 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7979 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7980
7981 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7982 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7983
7984 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7985 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7986 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7987 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7988
7989 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7990 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7991
7992 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7993 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7994
7995 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7996 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7997 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7998 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7999 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8000 [Richard Levitte]
8001
8002 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8003 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8004 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8005 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8006 [Steve Henson]
8007
8008 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8009 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8010 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8011 trust settings.
8012 [Steve Henson]
8013
8014 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8015 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8016 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8017 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8018 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8019 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8020 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8021 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8022 ocsp utility.
8023 [Steve Henson]
8024
8025 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8026 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8027 [Steve Henson]
8028
8029 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8030 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8031 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8032 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8033 [Steve Henson]
8034
8035 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8036 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8037 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8038 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8039 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8040 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8041 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8042 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8043 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8044 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8045 [Steve Henson]
8046
8047 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8048 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8049 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8050 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8051 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8052 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8053 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8054 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8055
8056 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8057 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8058 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8059 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8060 [Richard Levitte]
8061
8062 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8063 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8064 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8065 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8066 opensslconf.h.
8067 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8068 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8069 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8070 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8071 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8072 what is available.
8073 [Richard Levitte]
8074
8075 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8076 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8077 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8078 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8079 auto incremented.
8080 [Steve Henson]
8081
8082 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8083 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8084 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8085 [Steve Henson]
8086
8087 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8088 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8089 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8090 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8091 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8092 [Steve Henson]
8093
8094 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8095 [Steve Henson]
8096
8097 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8098 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8099 option to ocsp utility.
8100 [Steve Henson]
8101
8102 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8103 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8104 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8105 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8106 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8107 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8108 the request is nonce-less.
8109 [Steve Henson]
8110
8111 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8112 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8113 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8114 [Bodo Moeller]
8115
8116 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8117 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8118 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8119 [Steve Henson]
8120
8121 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8122 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8123 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8124 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8125 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8126 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8127
8128 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8129 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8130 appear to exist.
8131 [Steve Henson]
8132
8133 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8134 additional certificates supplied.
8135 [Steve Henson]
8136
8137 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8138 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8139 signature against.
8140 [Richard Levitte]
8141
8142 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8143 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8144 AES OIDs.
8145
8146 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8147 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8148 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8149 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8150 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8151 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8152 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8153 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8154 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8155
8156 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8157 request to response.
8158 [Steve Henson]
8159
8160 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8161 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8162 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8163 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8164 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8165 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8166 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8167 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8168 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8169 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8170 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8171 [Steve Henson]
8172
8173 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8174 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8175 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8176 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8177 [Steve Henson]
8178
8179 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8180 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8181
8182 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8183 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8184 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8185 [Steve Henson]
8186
8187 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8188 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8189 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8190 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8191 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8192
8193 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8194 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8195 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8196 [Steve Henson]
8197
8198 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8199 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8200 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8201 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8202 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8203 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8204 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8205 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8206
8207 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8208 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8209 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8210 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8211 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8212 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8213 [Steve Henson]
8214
8215 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8216 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8217 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8218 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8219 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8220 printout format cleaned up.
8221 [Steve Henson]
8222
8223 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8224 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8225 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8226 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8227 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8228 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8229 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8230 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8231 [Steve Henson]
8232
8233 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8234 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8235 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8236 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8237 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8238 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8239 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8240 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8241 [Steve Henson]
8242
8243 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8244 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8245 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8246 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8247 section to use.
8248 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8249
8250 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8251 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8252 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8253 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8254 [Steve Henson]
8255
8256 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8257 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8258 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8259 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8260 in the index file.
8261 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8262
8263 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8264 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8265 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8266 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8267
8268 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8269 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8270
8271 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8272 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8273 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8274 [Steve Henson]
8275
8276 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8277 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8278 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8279 [Bodo Moeller]
8280
8281 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8282 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8283 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8284 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8285 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8286 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8287 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8288 functions are provided:
8289
8290 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8291 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8292 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8293 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8294
8295 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8296 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8297 extended allocation function is enabled.
8298 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8299 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8300 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8301
8302 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8303 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8304 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8305 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8306 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8307 [Geoff Thorpe]
8308
8309 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8310 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8311 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8312 be queried.
8313 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8314 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8315 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8316 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8317
8318 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8319 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8320 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8321 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8322 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8323 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8324 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8325 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8326 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8327 [Richard Levitte]
8328
8329 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8330 provide utility functions which an application needing
8331 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8332 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8333 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8334
8335 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8336 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8337 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8338 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8339 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8340 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8341 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8342 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8343 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8344
8345 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8346 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8347 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8348 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8349 [Steve Henson]
8350
8351 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8352 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8353 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8354 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8355 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8356 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8357 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8358 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8359 will be added elsewhere.
8360 [Steve Henson]
8361
8362 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8363 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8364 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8365 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8366 [Steve Henson]
8367
8368 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8369 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8370 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8371 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8372 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8373 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8374 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8375 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8376 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8377 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8378 to produce the required SET OF.
8379 [Steve Henson]
8380
8381 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8382 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8383 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8384 [Richard Levitte]
8385
8386 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8387 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8388 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8389 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8390 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8391 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8392 [Steve Henson]
8393
8394 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8395 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8396 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8397 [Steve Henson]
8398
8399 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8400 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8401 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8402 [Richard Levitte]
8403
8404 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8405 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8406 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8407 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8408 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8409 [Steve Henson]
8410
8411 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8412 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8413 [Steve Henson]
8414
8415 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8416 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8417 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8418 certificates and CRLs.
8419 [Steve Henson]
8420
8421 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8422 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8423 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8424 [Steve Henson]
8425
8426 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8427 entries for variables.
8428 [Steve Henson]
8429
8430 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8431 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8432 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8433 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8434 [Bodo Moeller]
8435
8436 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8437 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8438 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8439 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8440 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8441 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8442 [Bodo Moeller]
8443
8444 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8445 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8446
8447 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8448 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8449 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8450 [Steve Henson]
8451
8452 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8453 print routines.
8454 [Steve Henson]
8455
8456 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8457 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8458 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8459 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8460 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8461 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8462 [Steve Henson]
8463
8464 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8465 [Steve Henson]
8466
8467 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8468 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8469 for now but they will eventually go away.
8470 [Steve Henson]
8471
8472 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8473 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8474 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8475 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8476 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8477 has also been converted to the new form.
8478 [Steve Henson]
8479
8480 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8481 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8482 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8483 for negative moduli.
8484 [Bodo Moeller]
8485
8486 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8487 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8488 [Bodo Moeller]
8489
8490 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8491 set.
8492 [Bodo Moeller]
8493
8494 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8495 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8496 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8497 type-specific callbacks.
8498 [Geoff Thorpe]
8499
8500 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8501 RFC 2712.
8502 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8503 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8504
8505 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8506 in sections depending on the subject.
8507 [Richard Levitte]
8508
8509 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8510 Windows.
8511 [Richard Levitte]
8512
8513 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8514 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8515 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8516 be handled deterministically).
8517 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8518
8519 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8520 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8521 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8522 [Bodo Moeller]
8523
8524 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8525 [Bodo Moeller]
8526
8527 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8528 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8529 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8530 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8531 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8532 [Bodo Moeller]
8533
8534 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8535 sign of the number in question.
8536
8537 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8538
8539 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8540 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8541 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8542 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8543 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8544 [Bodo Moeller]
8545
8546 *) New function BN_swap.
8547 [Bodo Moeller]
8548
8549 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8550 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8551 results on negative inputs.
8552 [Bodo Moeller]
8553
8554 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8555 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8556 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8557 [Bodo Moeller]
8558
8559 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8560 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8561 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8562 and add new functions:
8563
8564 BN_nnmod
8565 BN_mod_sqr
8566 BN_mod_add
8567 BN_mod_add_quick
8568 BN_mod_sub
8569 BN_mod_sub_quick
8570 BN_mod_lshift1
8571 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8572 BN_mod_lshift
8573 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8574
8575 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8576
8577 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8578 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8579
8580 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8581 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8582 be reduced modulo m.
8583 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8584
8585 #if 0
8586 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8587 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8588 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8589
8590 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8591 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8592 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8593 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8594 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8595 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8596 differing sizes.
8597 [Richard Levitte]
8598 #endif
8599
8600 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8601 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8602 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8603 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8604 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8605
8606 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8607 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8608 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8609 cause any problems.
8610 [Bodo Moeller]
8611
8612 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8613 [Richard Levitte]
8614
8615 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8616 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8617 [Richard Levitte]
8618
8619 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8620 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8621 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8622 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8623 time)
8624 [Richard Levitte]
8625
8626 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8627 [Richard Levitte]
8628
8629 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8630 [Richard Levitte]
8631
8632 *) Add the following functions:
8633
8634 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8635 ENGINE_load_chil()
8636 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8637 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8638 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8639
8640 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8641 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8642 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8643 libraries unless it's really needed.
8644
8645 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8646 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8647 declarations (they differed!).
8648 [Richard Levitte]
8649
8650 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8651 [Richard Levitte]
8652
8653 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8654 [Richard Levitte]
8655
8656 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8657 [Bodo Moeller]
8658
8659 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8660 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8661 [Richard Levitte]
8662
8663 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8664 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8665 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8666
8667 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8668 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8669 [Richard Levitte]
8670
8671 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8672 [Richard Levitte]
8673
8674 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8675 [Richard Levitte]
8676
8677 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8678 [Ben Laurie]
8679
8680 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8681 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8682 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8683
8684 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8685 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8686 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8687 different shared library filenames on each system.
8688 [Geoff Thorpe]
8689
8690 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8691 [Richard Levitte]
8692
8693 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8694 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8695 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8696 of two sections.
8697 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8698
8699 *) NCONF changes.
8700 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8701 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8702 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8703 binary backward compatibility.
8704 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8705 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8706 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8707 LDAP server.
8708 [Richard Levitte]
8709
8710 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8711 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8712 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8713 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8714 this case.
8715 [Steve Henson]
8716
8717 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8718 [Ben Laurie]
8719
8720 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8721 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8722 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8723 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8724 set.
8725 [Steve Henson]
8726
8727 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8728 [Richard Levitte]
8729
8730 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8731
8732 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8733 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8734 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8735
8736 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8737
8738 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8739
8740 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8741 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8742 [Steve Henson]
8743
8744 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8745
8746 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8747
8748 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8749 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8750
8751 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8752 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8753
8754 [Steve Henson]
8755
8756 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8757 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8758 specifications.
8759 [Steve Henson]
8760
8761 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8762 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8763 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8764 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8765
8766 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8767 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8768 [Richard Levitte]
8769
8770 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8771
8772 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8773 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8774 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8775 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8776 [Bodo Moeller]
8777
8778 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8779 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8780 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8781 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8782 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8783
8784 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8785 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8786 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8787 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8788 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8789 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8790 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8791 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8792 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8793 [Bodo Moeller]
8794
8795 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8796
8797 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8798 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8799 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8800 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8801 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8802
8803 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8804 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8805 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8806
8807 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8808
8809 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8810 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8811 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8812 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8813 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8814 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8815 [Geoff Thorpe]
8816
8817 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8818 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8819 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8820 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8821 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8822 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8823
8824 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8825 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8826 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8827
8828 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8829 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8830 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8831 EVP_cleanup().
8832 [Richard Levitte]
8833
8834 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8835 being properly terminated.
8836 [Richard Levitte]
8837
8838 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8839 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8840 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8841 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8842
8843 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8844 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8845 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8846 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8847 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8848 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8849 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8850 change.
8851 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8852
8853 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8854 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8855 [Bodo Moeller]
8856
8857 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8858 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8859 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8860 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8861 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8862 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8863 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8864 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8865
8866 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8867 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8868 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8869 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8870 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8871
8872 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8873 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8874 [Steve Henson]
8875
8876 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8877
8878 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8879 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8880 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8881
8882 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8883
8884 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8885 and get fix the header length calculation.
8886 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8887 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8888 Steve Henson]
8889
8890 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8891 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8892 assertions could call abort()).
8893 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8894
8895 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8896
8897 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8898 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8899 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8900 supplied buffer.
8901 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8902
8903 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8904 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8905 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8906 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8907
8908 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8909 [Nils Larsch]
8910
8911 *) New option
8912 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8913 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8914 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8915
8916 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8917 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8918 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8919 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8920 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8921 applications.
8922 [Bodo Moeller]
8923
8924 *) Changes in security patch:
8925
8926 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8927 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8928 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8929 F30602-01-2-0537.
8930
8931 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8932 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8933 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8934 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8935 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8936
8937 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8938 happen in practice.
8939 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8940
8941 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8942 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8943 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8944
8945 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8946 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8947 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8948
8949 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8950 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8951 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8952
8953 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8954
8955 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8956 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8957 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8958
8959 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8960 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8961
8962 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8963 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8964 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8965 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8966 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8967 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8968 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8969
8970 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8971 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8972 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8973 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8974 [Bodo Moeller]
8975
8976 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8977 [Bodo Moeller]
8978
8979 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8980 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8981 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8982 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8983 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8984 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8985
8986 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8987 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8988 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8989 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8990 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8991 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8992
8993 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8994 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8995 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8996 BN_generate_prime().)
8997
8998 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8999 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9000 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9001 better.
9002 [Bodo Moeller]
9003
9004 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9005 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9006 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9007
9008 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9009 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9010 when using non-blocking I/O.
9011 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9012
9013 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9014 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9015
9016 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9017 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9018 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9019
9020 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9021 configuration for the versions before that.
9022 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9023
9024 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9025 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9026 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9027 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9028 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9029
9030 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9031 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9032 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9033 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9034
9035 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9036 value is 0.
9037 [Richard Levitte]
9038
9039 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9040 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9041 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9042
9043 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9044 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9045
9046 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9047 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9048 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9049 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9050 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9051 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9052 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9053 session cache.
9054
9055 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9056 using a local variable.
9057 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9058
9059 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9060 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9061 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9062
9063 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9064 [Richard Levitte]
9065
9066 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9067 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9068
9069 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9070 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9071 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9072
9073 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9074
9075 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9076 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9077 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9078 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9079 [Bodo Moeller]
9080
9081 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9082 present.
9083 [Steve Henson]
9084
9085 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9086 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9087 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9088 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9089 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9090
9091 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9092 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9093 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9094
9095 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9096 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9097 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9098
9099 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9100 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9101 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9102 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9103
9104 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9105 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9106 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9107 modules).
9108 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9109
9110 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9111 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9112 from 0.9.7.
9113 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9114
9115 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9116 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9117 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9118 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9119
9120 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9121 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9122 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9123 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9124
9125 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9126 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9127
9128 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9129 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9130 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9131 [Bodo Moeller]
9132
9133 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9134 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9135 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9136 become invalid.
9137 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9138
9139 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9140 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9141 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9142 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9143 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9144 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9145 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9146 [Bodo Moeller]
9147
9148 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9149 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9150 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9151 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9152
9153 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9154 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9155 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9156 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9157 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9158 the client will at least see that alert.
9159 [Bodo Moeller]
9160
9161 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9162 correctly.
9163 [Bodo Moeller]
9164
9165 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9166 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9167 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9168
9169 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9170 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9171 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9172 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9173 HelloRequest.
9174
9175 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9176 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9177 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9178
9179 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9180 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9181 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9182 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9183 may leak via logfiles.)
9184
9185 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9186 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9187 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9188 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9189 the legal range.
9190 [Bodo Moeller]
9191
9192 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9193 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9194 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9195
9196 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9197 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9198 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9199 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9200 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9201 [Bodo Moeller]
9202
9203 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9204 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9205
9206 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9207 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9208 followed by modular reduction.
9209 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9210
9211 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9212 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9213 [Bodo Moeller]
9214
9215 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9216 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9217 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9218 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9219 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9220
9221 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9222 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9223
9224 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9225 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9226 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9227
9228 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9229 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9230 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9231 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9232 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9233 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9234 automatically.
9235 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9236
9237 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9238 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9239 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9240 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9241 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9242
9243 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9244 [Andy Polyakov]
9245
9246 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9247 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9248 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9249 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9250 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9251 to allow the necessary settings.
9252 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9253
9254 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9255 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9256 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9257 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9258 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9259
9260 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9261 dh->length and always used
9262
9263 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9264
9265 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9266 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9267 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9268 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9269 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9270 dh->length.
9271
9272 So switch back to
9273
9274 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9275
9276 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9277 otherwise.
9278 [Bodo Moeller]
9279
9280 *) In
9281
9282 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9283 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9284 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9285 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9286
9287 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9288 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9289 always reject numbers >= n.
9290 [Bodo Moeller]
9291
9292 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9293 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9294 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9295 variable) is not atomic.
9296 [Bodo Moeller]
9297
9298 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9299 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9300 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9301 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9302
9303 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9304 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9305
9306 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9307 little-endian MIPS.
9308 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9309
9310 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9311 [Richard Levitte]
9312
9313 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9314
9315 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9316 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9317 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9318 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9319 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9320 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9321 to traverse all of 'state'.
9322
9323 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9324 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9325 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9326
9327 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9328 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9329
9330 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9331 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9332 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9333 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9334 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9335 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9336 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9337 further strengthens the PRNG.
9338 [Bodo Moeller]
9339
9340 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9341 [Andy Polyakov]
9342
9343 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9344 an error message in this case.
9345 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9346
9347 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9348 [Steve Henson]
9349
9350 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9351 positive and less than q.
9352 [Bodo Moeller]
9353
9354 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9355 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9356 that itself.
9357 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9358
9359 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9360 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9361 [Bodo Moeller]
9362
9363 *) Fix OAEP check.
9364 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9365
9366 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9367 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9368 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9369 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9370 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9371 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9372 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9373 paper.)
9374
9375 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9376 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9377 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9378 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9379
9380 Both problems are now fixed.
9381 [Bodo Moeller]
9382
9383 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9384 (previously it was 1024).
9385 [Bodo Moeller]
9386
9387 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9388 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9389 [Steve Henson]
9390
9391 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9392 [Steve Henson]
9393
9394 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9395 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9396 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9397 [Steve Henson]
9398
9399 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9400 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9401 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9402 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9403 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9404 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9405 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9406 environment variables.
9407
9408 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9409 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9410 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9411 [Bodo Moeller]
9412
9413 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9414 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9415 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9416 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9417 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9418 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9419 [Bodo Moeller]
9420
9421 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9422 versions of 'test'.
9423 [Bodo Moeller]
9424
9425 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9426
9427 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9428 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9429
9430 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9431 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9432 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9433 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9434 CygWin.
9435 [Richard Levitte]
9436
9437 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9438 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9439 amount of data available.
9440 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9441 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9442
9443 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9444 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9445 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9446 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9447 [Bodo Moeller]
9448
9449 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9450 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9451 and UnixWare.
9452 [Richard Levitte]
9453
9454 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9455 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9456 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9457 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9458 [Ulf Moeller]
9459
9460 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9461 [Andy Polyakov]
9462
9463 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9464 [Richard Levitte]
9465
9466 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9467 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9468 [Steve Henson]
9469 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9470
9471 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9472 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9473 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9474 (but broken) behaviour.
9475 [Steve Henson]
9476
9477 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9478 it when found.
9479 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9480
9481 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9482 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9483 [Bodo Moeller]
9484
9485 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9486 did not exist.
9487 [Bodo Moeller]
9488
9489 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9490 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9491
9492 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9493 [Richard Levitte]
9494
9495 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9496 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9497 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9498
9499 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9500 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9501 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9502 [Steve Henson]
9503
9504 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9505 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9506 [Ulf Moeller]
9507
9508 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9509 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9510
9511 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9512
9513 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9514
9515 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9516 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9517 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9518 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9519 [Bodo Moeller]
9520
9521 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9522 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9523
9524 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9525 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9526 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9527
9528 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9529 was empty.
9530 [Steve Henson]
9531 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9532
9533 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9534 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9535 but the code is actually correct.
9536 [Steve Henson]
9537
9538 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9539 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9540 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9541 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9542 and leaves the highest bit random.
9543 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9544
9545 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9546 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9547 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9548 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9549 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9550 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9551 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9552 [Bodo Moeller]
9553
9554 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9555 [Ulf Moeller]
9556
9557 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9558 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9559 [Steve Henson]
9560
9561 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9562 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9563 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9564 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9565 headers.
9566 [Richard Levitte]
9567
9568 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9569 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9570 and break the signature.
9571 [Steve Henson]
9572 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9573
9574 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9575 DH ciphersuites.
9576 [Steve Henson]
9577
9578 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9579 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9580 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9581 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9582 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9583 [Bodo Moeller]
9584
9585 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9586 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9587
9588 *) ./config script fixes.
9589 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9590
9591 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9592 [Bodo Moeller]
9593
9594 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9595 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9596 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9597 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9598 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9599
9600 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9601 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9602 [Bodo Moeller]
9603
9604 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9605 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9606 [Steve Henson]
9607
9608 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9609 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9610 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9611 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9612
9613 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9614 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9615
9616 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9617 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9618 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9619 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9620 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9621
9622 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9623 [Bodo Moeller]
9624
9625 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9626 [Ulf Möller]
9627
9628 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9629 [Ulf Möller]
9630
9631 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9632 [Bodo Moeller]
9633
9634 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9635 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9636 [Bodo Moeller]
9637
9638 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9639 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9640 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9641 result of the server certificate verification.)
9642 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9643
9644 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9645 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9646 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9647 [Bodo Moeller]
9648
9649 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9650 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9651 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9652 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9653 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9654 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9655 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9656 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9657 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9658 [Bodo Moeller]
9659
9660 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9661 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9662 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9663 happening the other way round.
9664 [Geoff Thorpe]
9665
9666 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9667 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9668 [Bodo Moeller]
9669
9670 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9671 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9672 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9673 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9674 [Richard Levitte]
9675
9676 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9677 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9678
9679 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9680
9681 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9682 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9683 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9684 that.
9685
9686 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9687
9688 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9689
9690 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9691 static ones.
9692 [Richard Levitte]
9693
9694 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9695
9696 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9697 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9698 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9699 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9700 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9701
9702 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9703 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9704 matter what.
9705 [Richard Levitte]
9706
9707 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9708 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9709
9710 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9711
9712 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9713 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9714 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9715 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9716 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9717 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9718 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9719 by the Finished messages.
9720 [Bodo Moeller]
9721
9722 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9723 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9724
9725 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9726 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9727 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9728 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9729 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9730 appropriately.
9731 [Steve Henson]
9732
9733 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9734 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9735 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9736 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9737 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9738 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9739 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9740 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9741 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9742 together.
9743 [Steve Henson]
9744
9745 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9746 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9747 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9748 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9749
9750 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9751 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9752 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9753 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9754 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9755 the answer.
9756
9757 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9758 been tested well enough.
9759 [Richard Levitte]
9760
9761 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9762 it can return incorrect results.
9763 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9764 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9765 [Bodo Moeller]
9766
9767 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9768 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9769 include zero length content when signing messages.
9770 [Steve Henson]
9771
9772 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9773 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9774 [Bodo Möller]
9775
9776 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9777 [Richard Levitte]
9778
9779 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9780 wrong sign.
9781 [Ulf Möller]
9782
9783 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9784 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9785 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9786 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9787 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9788 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9789 [Richard Levitte]
9790
9791 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9792 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9793
9794 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9795 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9796
9797 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9798 random number < q in the DSA library.
9799 [Ulf Möller]
9800
9801 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9802 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9803 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9804 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9805 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9806 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9807 just makes things more complicated.)
9808 [Bodo Moeller]
9809
9810 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9811 from EGD.
9812 [Ben Laurie]
9813
9814 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9815 work better on such systems.
9816 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9817
9818 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9819 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9820 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9821 [Steve Henson]
9822
9823 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9824 if there was more than one signature.
9825 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9826
9827 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9828 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9829 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9830 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9831 [Richard Levitte]
9832
9833 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9834 rather than always using the current time.
9835 [Steve Henson]
9836
9837 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9838 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9839 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9840 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9841 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9842 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9843
9844 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9845 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9846
9847 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9848
9849 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9850 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9851 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9852 the same hash value.
9853
9854 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9855 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9856 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9857 with X509_STORE internally.
9858
9859 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9860 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9861
9862 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9863 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9864 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9865 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9866 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9867 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9868 entirely (maybe later...).
9869
9870 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9871
9872 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9873 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9874 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9875 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9876 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9877 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9878 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9879 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9880
9881 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9882 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9883
9884 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9885 to customise the verify behaviour.
9886 [Steve Henson]
9887
9888 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9889 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9890 [Steve Henson]
9891
9892 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9893 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9894 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9895 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9896 request is improperly encoded.
9897 [Steve Henson]
9898
9899 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9900 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9901 BIO_write(b, ...).
9902
9903 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9904 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9905
9906 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9907 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9908 words set to zero.)
9909 [Bodo Moeller]
9910
9911 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9912 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9913 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9914 [Bodo Moeller]
9915
9916 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9917 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9918 BIO/fp routines also added.
9919 [Steve Henson]
9920
9921 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9922 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9923
9924 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9925 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9926 demos/state_machine.
9927 [Ben Laurie]
9928
9929 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9930 generation and verification.
9931 [Steve Henson]
9932
9933 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9934 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9935 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9936 encode and decode it manually.
9937 [Steve Henson]
9938
9939 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9940 compile under VC++.
9941 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9942
9943 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9944 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9945 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9946 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9947
9948 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9949 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9950 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9951 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9952 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9953 [Steve Henson]
9954
9955 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9956 [Richard Levitte]
9957
9958 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9959 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9960 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9961
9962 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9963 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9964 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9965 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9966 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9967 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9968 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9969 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9970
9971 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9972 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9973
9974 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9975
9976 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9977 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9978 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9979
9980 [Richard Levitte]
9981
9982 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9983 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9984 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9985 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9986 [Richard Levitte]
9987
9988 *) MD4 implemented.
9989 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9990
9991 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9992 [Richard Levitte]
9993
9994 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9995 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9996 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9997 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9998 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9999 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10000 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10001 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10002 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10003 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10004 short or long names are found.
10005 [Steve Henson]
10006
10007 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10008 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10009
10010 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10011 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10012 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10013 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10014
10015 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10016 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10017 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10018 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10019 [Bodo Moeller]
10020
10021 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10022 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10023 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10024 [Richard Levitte]
10025
10026 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10027 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10028 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10029 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10030 to allow the various flags to be set.
10031 [Steve Henson]
10032
10033 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10034 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10035 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10036 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10037 dates to be checked.
10038 [Steve Henson]
10039
10040 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10041 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10042 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10043 [Steve Henson]
10044
10045 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10046 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10047 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10048 [Steve Henson]
10049
10050 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10051 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10052 [Bodo Moeller]
10053
10054 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10055 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10056 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10057 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10058 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10059 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10060 [Richard Levitte]
10061
10062 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10063 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10064 Random Numbers.
10065 [Ulf Möller]
10066
10067 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10068 DSA key.
10069 [Steve Henson]
10070
10071 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10072 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10073 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10074 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10075 form signing output easier to verify.
10076 [Steve Henson]
10077
10078 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10079 [Steve Henson]
10080
10081 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10082 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10083 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10084 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10085 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10086 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10087 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10088 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10089 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10090 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10091 [Steve Henson]
10092
10093 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10094
10095 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10096 the syntax given in objects.README.
10097 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10098 obj_mac.h.
10099 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10100 obj_mac.h.
10101
10102 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10103 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10104 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10105 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10106 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10107 consistent name changes.
10108 [Richard Levitte]
10109
10110 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10111 [Bodo Moeller]
10112
10113 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10114 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10115 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10116 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10117 [Richard Levitte]
10118
10119 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10120 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10121 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10122 of safestack.h .
10123 [Steve Henson]
10124
10125 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10126 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10127 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10128 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10129 [Steve Henson]
10130
10131 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10132 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10133 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10134 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10135 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10136 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10137 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10138 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10139 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10140 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10141 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10142 [Steve Henson]
10143
10144 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10145 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10146 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10147 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10148 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10149 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10150 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10151 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10152 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10153 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10154 [Steve Henson]
10155
10156 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10157 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10158 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10159 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10160
10161 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10162 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10163 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10164 omit any duplicate addresses.
10165 [Steve Henson]
10166
10167 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10168 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10169 [Bodo Moeller]
10170
10171 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10172 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10173 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10174 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10175 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10176 [Bodo Moeller]
10177
10178 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10179 software:
10180 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10181 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10182 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10183 Free => OPENSSL_free
10184 [Richard Levitte]
10185
10186 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10187 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10188 [Bodo Moeller]
10189
10190 *) CygWin32 support.
10191 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10192
10193 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10194 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10195 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10196 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10197 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10198 approach.
10199 [Geoff Thorpe]
10200
10201 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10202 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10203 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10204 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10205 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10206 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10207 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10208 [Geoff Thorpe]
10209
10210 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10211 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10212 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10213 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10214 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10215 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10216 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10217 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10218 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10219 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10220 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10221 [Bodo Moeller]
10222
10223 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10224 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10225 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10226 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10227 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10228
10229 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10230 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10231 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10232 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10233 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10234
10235 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10236 ciphers.
10237
10238 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10239 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10240 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10241 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10242
10243 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10244
10245 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10246 of macros.
10247
10248 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10249 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10250 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10251 flags.
10252
10253 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10254 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10255 any installed hardware versions can.
10256 [Steve Henson]
10257
10258 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10259 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10260 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10261 number.
10262 [Bodo Moeller]
10263
10264 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10265 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10266 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10267 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10268 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10269
10270 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10271 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10272 [Steve Henson]
10273
10274 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10275 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10276 [Richard Levitte]
10277
10278 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10279 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10280 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10281 features.
10282 [Steve Henson]
10283
10284 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10285 [Ulf Möller]
10286
10287 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10288 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10289 but no ssl client purpose.
10290 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10291
10292 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10293 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10294 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10295 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10296 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10297 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10298 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10299 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10300 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10301 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10302 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10303 [Steve Henson]
10304
10305 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10306 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10307 be obtained from the error queue.
10308 [Bodo Moeller]
10309
10310 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10311 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10312 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10313 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10314 [Bodo Moeller]
10315
10316 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10317 [Ulf Möller]
10318
10319 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10320 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10321 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10322 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10323 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10324 [Geoff Thorpe]
10325
10326 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10327 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10328 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10329 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10330 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10331 [Geoff Thorpe]
10332
10333 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10334 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10335 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10336 may not be NULL.
10337 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10338
10339 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10340 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10341 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10342 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10343 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10344 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10345 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10346 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10347 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10348 or "the configuration storage API"...
10349
10350 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10351
10352 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10353 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10354
10355 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10356
10357 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10358
10359 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10360 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10361 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10362 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10363 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10364 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10365 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10366
10367 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10368 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10369 [Richard Levitte]
10370
10371 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10372 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10373 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10374 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10375 [Bodo Moeller]
10376
10377 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10378 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10379 them in a portable way.
10380 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10381
10382 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10383
10384 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10385
10386 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10387 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10388
10389 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10390 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10391 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10392 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10393
10394 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10395 was larger than the MD block size.
10396 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10397
10398 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10399 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10400 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10401 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10402 components.
10403 [Steve Henson]
10404
10405 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10406 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10407 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10408
10409 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10410 discouraged.
10411 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10412
10413 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10414 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10415 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10416 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10417 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10418 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10419
10420 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10421 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10422
10423 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10424 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10425 [Bodo Moeller]
10426
10427 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10428 [Bodo Moeller]
10429
10430 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10431 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10432 its own key.
10433 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10434 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10435 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10436 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10437 [Bodo Moeller]
10438
10439 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10440 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10441 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10442 does not suppress any output.
10443 [Richard Levitte]
10444
10445 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10446 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10447 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10448 with all the associated security issues.
10449
10450 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10451 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10452 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10453 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10454 use the value in the default purpose.
10455 [Steve Henson]
10456
10457 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10458 and fix a memory leak.
10459 [Steve Henson]
10460
10461 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10462 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10463 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10464 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10465 [Bodo Moeller]
10466
10467 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10468 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10469 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10470 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10471 [Bodo Moeller]
10472
10473 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10474 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10475 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10476 [Bodo Moeller]
10477
10478 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10479 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10480 [Bodo Moeller]
10481
10482 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10483 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10484 which was free.
10485 [Steve Henson]
10486
10487 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10488 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10489 [Bodo Moeller]
10490
10491 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10492 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10493 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10494 [Bodo Moeller]
10495
10496 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10497 number generation fails.
10498 [Bodo Moeller]
10499
10500 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10501 [Bodo Moeller]
10502
10503 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10504 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10505
10506 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10507 [Ulf Möller]
10508
10509 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10510 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10511
10512 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10513 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10514
10515 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10516
10517 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10518 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10519 [Steve Henson]
10520
10521 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10522 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10523
10524 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10525 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10526 [Ulf Möller]
10527
10528 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10529 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10530 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10531 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10532 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10533 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10534
10535 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10536 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10537 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10538 for example.
10539 [Steve Henson]
10540
10541 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10542 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10543 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10544 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10545 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10546 counter, some don't.)
10547 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10548 counters or duplicate objects.
10549 [Steve Henson]
10550
10551 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10552 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10553 [Steve Henson]
10554
10555 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10556 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10557 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10558
10559 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10560 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10561 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10562 or -rand.
10563 [Ulf Möller]
10564
10565 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10566 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10567 [Steve Henson]
10568
10569 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10570 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10571 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10572 cipher list.
10573 [Steve Henson]
10574
10575 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10576 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10577 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10578 [Steve Henson]
10579
10580 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10581 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10582 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10583 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10584 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10585 should work without changes.
10586 [Richard Levitte]
10587
10588 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10589 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10590 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10591 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10592 must be defined. E.g.,
10593 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10594 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10595 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10596 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10597
10598 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10599 record layer.
10600 [Bodo Moeller]
10601
10602 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10603 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10604 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10605 [Steve Henson]
10606
10607 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10608 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10609 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10610 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10611 [Steve Henson]
10612
10613 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10614 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10615 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10616 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10617 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10618 is prompted for as usual.
10619 [Steve Henson]
10620
10621 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10622 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10623 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10624 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10625
10626 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10627 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10628 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10629 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10630 [Steve Henson]
10631
10632 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10633 [Andy Polyakov]
10634
10635 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10636 of seed file.
10637 [Steve Henson]
10638
10639 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10640 [Bodo Moeller]
10641
10642 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10643 [Steve Henson]
10644
10645 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10646 bits.
10647 [Ulf Möller]
10648
10649 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10650 [Ulf Möller]
10651
10652 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10653 [Andy Polyakov]
10654
10655 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10656 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10657 [Ulf Möller]
10658
10659 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10660 options to produce them.
10661 [Steve Henson]
10662
10663 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10664 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10665 [Ulf Möller]
10666
10667 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10668 for p == 0.
10669 [Ulf Möller]
10670
10671 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10672 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10673 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10674 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10675 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10676 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10677 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10678 [Steve Henson]
10679
10680 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10681 [Steve Henson]
10682
10683 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10684 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10685 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10686 [Bodo Moeller]
10687
10688 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10689 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10690
10691 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10692 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10693 [Ulf Möller]
10694
10695 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10696 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10697 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10698 has already seen).
10699 [Bodo Moeller]
10700
10701 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10702 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10703
10704 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10705 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10706 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10707 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10708 generation becomes much faster.
10709
10710 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10711 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10712 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10713 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10714 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10715 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10716 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10717 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10718 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10719 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10720 [Bodo Moeller]
10721
10722 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10723 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10724 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10725 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10726 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10727 trial division stage.
10728 [Bodo Moeller]
10729
10730 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10731 as ASN1_TIME.
10732 [Steve Henson]
10733
10734 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10735 [Steve Henson]
10736
10737 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10738 [Ulf Möller]
10739
10740 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10741 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10742 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10743 the comments.
10744 [Ulf Möller]
10745
10746 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10747 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10748 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10749 [Bodo Moeller]
10750
10751 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10752 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10753 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10754 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10755
10756 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10757 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10758 [Steve Henson]
10759
10760 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10761 [Ulf Möller]
10762
10763 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10764 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10765 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10766 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10767 [Ulf Möller]
10768
10769 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10770 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10771 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10772 [Ulf Möller]
10773
10774 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10775 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10776 (instead of parameters) in future.
10777 [Steve Henson]
10778
10779 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10780 when a new cipher list is set.
10781 [Steve Henson]
10782
10783 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10784 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10785 wrong.
10786
10787 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10788 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10789 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10790
10791 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10792 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10793 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10794 an error is flagged.
10795
10796 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10797 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10798 the readability was also increased :-)
10799 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10800
10801 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10802 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10803 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10804 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10805 as the root CA.
10806 [Steve Henson]
10807
10808 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10809 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10810 [Steve Henson]
10811
10812 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10813 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10814 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10815 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10816 instead.
10817
10818 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10819 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10820 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10821 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10822 because they handle more complex structures.)
10823 [Steve Henson]
10824
10825 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10826 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10827 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10828 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10829
10830 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10831 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10832 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10833 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10834 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10835 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10836 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10837 [Ulf Möller]
10838
10839 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10840 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10841 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10842 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10843 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10844 [Bodo Moeller]
10845
10846 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10847 [Bodo Moeller]
10848
10849 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10850 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10851 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10852 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10853 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10854 to use this.
10855
10856 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10857 code.
10858 [Steve Henson]
10859
10860 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10861 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10862 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10863 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10864 [Steve Henson]
10865
10866 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10867 [Ulf Möller]
10868
10869 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10870 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10871 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10872 international characters are used.
10873
10874 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10875 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10876 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10877 in ASN1 order.
10878 [Steve Henson]
10879
10880 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10881 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10882 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10883 request.
10884
10885 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10886 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10887 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10888 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10889 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10890 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10891
10892 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10893 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10894 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10895 be handled by the string table functions.
10896
10897 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10898 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10899 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10900 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10901 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10902 types at all.
10903 [Steve Henson]
10904
10905 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10906 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10907 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10908 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10909 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10910
10911 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10912 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10913 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10914 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10915 [Bodo Moeller]
10916
10917 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10918 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10919 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10920 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10921 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10922 SHA1.
10923 [Andy Polyakov]
10924
10925 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10926 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10927 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10928 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10929 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10930 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10931 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10932 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10933
10934 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10935 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10936 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10937 [Steve Henson]
10938
10939 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10940 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10941 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10942 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10943 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10944 support to pkcs8 application.
10945 [Steve Henson]
10946
10947 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10948 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10949 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10950 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10951 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10952 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10953 [Bodo Moeller]
10954
10955 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10956 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10957 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10958 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10959 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10960 consistency.
10961 [Bodo Moeller]
10962
10963 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10964 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10965 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10966 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10967 example.
10968 [Steve Henson]
10969
10970 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10971 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10972 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10973 and any application specific purposes.
10974
10975 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10976 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10977 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10978 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10979 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10980 if the certificate is self signed.
10981 [Steve Henson]
10982
10983 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10984 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10985 [Steve Henson]
10986
10987 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10988 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10989 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10990 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10991 [Steve Henson]
10992
10993 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10994 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10995 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10996 Update documentation.
10997 [Steve Henson]
10998
10999 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11000 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11001 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11002 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11003 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11004 [Steve Henson]
11005
11006 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11007 for details.
11008 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11009
11010 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11011 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11012 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11013 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11014 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11015 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11016 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11017 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11018 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11019 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11020
11021 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11022
11023 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11024 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11025 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11026 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11027 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11028
11029 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11030 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11031 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11032 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11033 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11034 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11035 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11036 request additional information:
11037 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11038 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11039
11040 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11041 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11042 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11043 options.
11044
11045 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11046 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11047
11048 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11049 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11050 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11051
11052 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11053 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11054
11055 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11056 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11057 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11058 algorithm.
11059 [Steve Henson]
11060
11061 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11062 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11063 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11064
11065 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11066 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11067 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11068 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11069 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11070 included in OpenSSL.
11071 [Steve Henson]
11072
11073 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11074 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11075 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11076 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11077 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11078 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11079 [Bodo Moeller]
11080
11081 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11082 PKCS12 structure.
11083 [Steve Henson]
11084
11085 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11086 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11087 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11088 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11089 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11090 structure.
11091 [Steve Henson]
11092
11093 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11094 need initialising.
11095 [Steve Henson]
11096
11097 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11098 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11099 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11100 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11101 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11102 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11103 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11104 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11105 be maintained manually.
11106
11107 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11108 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11109 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11110 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11111 work because people forget to call this function]
11112 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11113 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11114 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11115 [Steve Henson]
11116
11117 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11118 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11119 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11120 should be discouraged from doing it.
11121 [Ben Laurie]
11122
11123 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11124 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11125 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11126 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11127 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11128 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11129 [Steve Henson]
11130
11131 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11132 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11133 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11134
11135 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11136 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11137 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11138
11139 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11140 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11141 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11142 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11143 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11144 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11145
11146 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11147 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11148 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11149
11150 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11151 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11152 and vice versa.
11153
11154 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11155 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11156 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11157 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11158 [Steve Henson]
11159
11160 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11161 [Steve Henson]
11162
11163 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11164 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11165 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11166 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11167 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11168 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11169 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11170 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11171 keys so we should be OK.
11172
11173 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11174 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11175 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11176 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11177 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11178 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11179 stay in the name of compatibility.
11180
11181 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11182 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11183 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11184
11185 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11186 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11187 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11188 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11189 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11190 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11191 supplied key).
11192 [Steve Henson]
11193
11194 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11195 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11196 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11197 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11198 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11199 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11200 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11201 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11202 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11203 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11204 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11205 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11206 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11207 [Steve Henson]
11208
11209 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11210 [Steve Henson]
11211
11212 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11213 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11214 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11215 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11216 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11217 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11218 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11219 openssl verify ss.pem
11220 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11221 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11222 is OK.
11223 [Steve Henson]
11224
11225 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11226 (and add it to external session representation).
11227 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11228 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11229 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11230 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11231 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11232 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11233 security holes.
11234 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11235
11236 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11237 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11238 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11239 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11240
11241 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11242 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11243 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11244 [Steve Henson]
11245
11246 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11247 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11248 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11249 code.
11250 [Steve Henson]
11251
11252 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11253 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11254 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11255
11256 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11257 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11258 certificate auxiliary information.
11259 [Steve Henson]
11260
11261 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11262 the 'enc' command.
11263 [Steve Henson]
11264
11265 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11266 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11267 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11268 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11269 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11270 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11271 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11272 [Richard Levitte]
11273
11274 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11275 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11276 [Steve Henson]
11277
11278 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11279 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11280 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11281 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11282 [Steve Henson]
11283
11284 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11285 [Steve Henson]
11286
11287 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11288 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11289 [Steve Henson]
11290
11291 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11292 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11293 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11294 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11295 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11296 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11297 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11298 using the new 'x509' options.
11299
11300 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11301 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11302 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11303 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11304 for all purposes.
11305 [Steve Henson]
11306
11307 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11308 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11309 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11310 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11311 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11312 [Mark Cox]
11313
11314 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11315 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11316 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11317 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11318 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11319 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11320 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11321 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11322 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11323 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11324 [Steve Henson]
11325
11326 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11327 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11328 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11329 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11330 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11331 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11332 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11333 [Steve Henson]
11334
11335 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11336 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11337 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11338 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11339 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11340 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11341 openssl.cnf for more info.
11342 [Steve Henson]
11343
11344 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11345 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11346 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11347 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11348 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11349 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11350 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11351 md should be large enough anyway.
11352 [Bodo Moeller]
11353
11354 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11355 for handling the random seed file.
11356
11357 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11358 ca,
11359 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11360 s_client,
11361 s_server,
11362 x509 (when signing).
11363 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11364 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11365 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11366
11367 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11368 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11369 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11370 that support '-rand'.
11371 [Bodo Moeller]
11372
11373 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11374 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11375 [Bodo Moeller]
11376
11377 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11378 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11379 [Bill Perry]
11380
11381 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11382 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11383 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11384 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11385 is suitable.
11386 [Steve Henson]
11387
11388 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11389 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11390 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11391 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11392 [Steve Henson]
11393
11394 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11395 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11396 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11397 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11398 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11399 print out all the purposes.
11400 [Steve Henson]
11401
11402 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11403 functions.
11404 [Steve Henson]
11405
11406 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11407 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11408 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11409 single function call.
11410 [Steve Henson]
11411
11412 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11413 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11414 [Andy Polyakov]
11415
11416 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11417 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11418 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11419 [Steve Henson]
11420
11421 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11422 when producing the local key id.
11423 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11424
11425 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11426 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11427 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11428 "server.pem".
11429 [Steve Henson]
11430
11431 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11432 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11433 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11434 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11435 [Steve Henson]
11436
11437 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11438 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11439 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11440 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11441
11442 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11443 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11444 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11445 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11446
11447 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11448 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11449 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11450 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11451 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11452 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11453 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11454 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11455 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11456 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11457 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11458 trivial: move one line.
11459 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11460
11461 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11462 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11463 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11464 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11465 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11466 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11467 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11468 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11469 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11470 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11471 with an event loop for example.
11472 [Steve Henson]
11473
11474 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11475 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11476 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11477 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11478 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11479 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11480 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11481 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11482 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11483 [Steve Henson]
11484
11485 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11486 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11487 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11488 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11489 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11490 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11491 [Steve Henson]
11492
11493 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11494 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11495 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11496 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11497
11498 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11499 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11500 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11501 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11502 key generation.
11503 [Steve Henson]
11504
11505 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11506 (still largely untested)
11507 [Bodo Moeller]
11508
11509 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11510 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11511 [Steve Henson]
11512
11513 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11514 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11515 [Steve Henson]
11516
11517 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11518 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11519 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11520 [Bodo Moeller]
11521
11522 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11523 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11524 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11525 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11526 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11527 [Steve Henson]
11528
11529 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11530 [Andy Polyakov]
11531
11532 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11533 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11534 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11535 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11536 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11537 in ca.
11538 [Steve Henson]
11539
11540 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11541 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11542 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11543 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11544 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11545 [Steve Henson]
11546
11547 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11548 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11549 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11550 are otherwise ignored at present.
11551 [Steve Henson]
11552
11553 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11554 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11555 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11556 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11557 copied until the next read.
11558 [Steve Henson]
11559
11560 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11561 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11562 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11563 [Steve Henson]
11564
11565 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11566 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11567 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11568 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11569 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11570 associated functions.
11571 [Steve Henson]
11572
11573 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11574 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11575 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11576 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11577 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11578 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11579 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11580 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11581 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11582 memory BIOs.
11583 [Steve Henson]
11584
11585 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11586 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11587 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11588 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11589 [Bodo Moeller]
11590
11591 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11592 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11593 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11594 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11595 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11596 functionality.
11597 [Steve Henson]
11598
11599 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11600 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11601 under Win32.
11602 [Steve Henson]
11603
11604 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11605 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11606 extensions to be obtained and added.
11607 [Steve Henson]
11608
11609 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11610 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11611 [Bodo Moeller]
11612
11613 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11614
11615 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11616 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11617
11618 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11619 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11620
11621 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11622 program.
11623 [Steve Henson]
11624
11625 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11626 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11627 DH parameters contain its length).
11628
11629 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11630 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11631 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11632 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11633 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11634 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11635 utter importance to use
11636 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11637 or
11638 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11639 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11640 attacks may become possible!
11641 [Bodo Moeller]
11642
11643 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11644 [Bodo Moeller]
11645
11646 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11647 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11648 [Steve Henson]
11649
11650 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11651 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11652 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11653 or long name.
11654 [Steve Henson]
11655
11656 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11657 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11658 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11659 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11660 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11661 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11662 private key operations.
11663 [Steve Henson]
11664
11665 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11666 [Andy Polyakov]
11667
11668 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11669 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11670 to
11671 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11672 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11673 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11674 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11675 the password callback is called.
11676 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11677
11678 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11679
11680 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11681 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11682 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11683 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11684 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11685 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11686 this will work.
11687
11688 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11689 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11690 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11691 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11692 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11693 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11694 [Bodo Moeller]
11695
11696 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11697 [Andy Polyakov]
11698
11699 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11700 delete an unused file.
11701 [Ulf Möller]
11702
11703 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11704 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11705 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11706 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11707 [Steve Henson]
11708
11709 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11710 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11711 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11712 of an error.
11713 [Bodo Moeller]
11714
11715 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11716 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11717 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11718
11719 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11720 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11721 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11722 comparison" warnings.
11723 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11724 [Steve Henson]
11725
11726 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11727 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11728 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11729 [Steve Henson]
11730
11731 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11732 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11733
11734 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11735 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11736
11737 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11738 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11739 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11740
11741 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11742 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11743 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11744 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11745 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11746 this bug.
11747 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11748
11749 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11750 The interface is as follows:
11751 Applications can use
11752 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11753 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11754 "off" is now the default.
11755 The library internally uses
11756 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11757 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11758 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11759
11760 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11761 even the default) are now avoided.
11762
11763 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11764 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11765 than just having a counter.
11766
11767 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11768
11769 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11770 extensions.
11771 [Bodo Moeller]
11772
11773 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11774 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11775 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11776 Initial "mode" flags are:
11777
11778 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11779 a single record has been written.
11780 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11781 retries use the same buffer location.
11782 (But all of the contents must be
11783 copied!)
11784 [Bodo Moeller]
11785
11786 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11787 worked.
11788
11789 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11790 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11791
11792 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11793 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11794 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11795 [Steve Henson]
11796
11797 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11798 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11799 test programs.
11800 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11801
11802 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11803 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11804 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11805 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11806 point to the end.
11807 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11808 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11809
11810 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11811 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11812 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11813 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11814 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11815 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11816 [Steve Henson]
11817
11818 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11819 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11820 necessary function names.
11821 [Steve Henson]
11822
11823 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11824 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11825 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11826 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11827 [Bodo Moeller]
11828
11829 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11830 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11831 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11832 [Steve Henson]
11833
11834 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11835 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11836 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11837 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11838 such programs?)
11839 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11840 need locks.
11841 [Bodo Moeller]
11842
11843 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11844 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11845 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11846 [Bodo Moeller]
11847
11848 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11849 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11850 appropriate.
11851 [Bodo Moeller]
11852
11853 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11854 for the encoded length.
11855 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11856
11857 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11858 [Steve Henson]
11859
11860 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11861 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11862 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11863 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11864 [Steve Henson]
11865
11866 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11867 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11868 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11869
11870 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11871 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11872 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11873 unusual formatting.
11874 [Steve Henson]
11875
11876 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11877 to use the new extension code.
11878 [Steve Henson]
11879
11880 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11881 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11882 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11883 constant.
11884 [Steve Henson]
11885
11886 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11887 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11888 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11889 [Bodo Moeller]
11890
11891 #if 0
11892 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11893 [Ben Laurie]
11894 #else
11895 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11896 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11897 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11898 #endif
11899
11900 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11901 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11902 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11903 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11904 [Ben Laurie]
11905
11906 *) DES library cleanups.
11907 [Ulf Möller]
11908
11909 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11910 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11911 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11912 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11913 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11914 of v2.0.
11915 [Steve Henson]
11916
11917 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11918 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11919 [Bodo Moeller]
11920
11921 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11922 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11923 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11924 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11925 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11926 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11927 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11928 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11929 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11930 [Steve Henson]
11931
11932 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11933 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11934 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11935 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11936 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11937 value doesn't matter.
11938 [Steve Henson]
11939
11940 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11941 support mutable.
11942 [Ben Laurie]
11943
11944 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11945 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11946 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11947 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11948
11949 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11950 [Ulf Möller]
11951
11952 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11953 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11954 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11955
11956 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11957 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11958
11959 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11960 [Ben Laurie]
11961
11962 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11963 [Ben Laurie]
11964
11965 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11966 [Ben Laurie]
11967
11968 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11969 [Bodo Moeller]
11970
11971
11972 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11973
11974 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11975
11976 *) Updated some demos.
11977 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11978
11979 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11980 [Wu Zhigang]
11981
11982 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11983 [Steve Henson]
11984
11985 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11986 [Steve Henson]
11987
11988 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11989 instead of using a fixed path.
11990 [Bodo Moeller]
11991
11992 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11993 [Andy Polyakov]
11994
11995 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11996 [Richard Levitte]
11997
11998
11999 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12000
12001 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12002 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12003 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12004
12005 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12006 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12007 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12008 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12009 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12010 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12011 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12012 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12013 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12014 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12015 [Steve Henson]
12016
12017 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12018 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12019 [Steve Henson]
12020
12021 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12022 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12023 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12024 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12025 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12026
12027 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12028 [Bodo Moeller]
12029
12030 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12031 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12032 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12033 [Steve Henson]
12034
12035 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12036 [Ben Laurie]
12037
12038 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12039 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12040 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12041 key elements as negative integers.
12042 [Steve Henson]
12043
12044 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12045 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12046
12047 *) VMS support.
12048 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12049
12050 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12051 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12052 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12053 [Steve Henson]
12054
12055 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12056 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12057 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12058 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12059 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12060 [Bodo Moeller]
12061
12062 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12063 [Ulf Möller]
12064
12065 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12066 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12067 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12068 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12069
12070 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12071 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12072 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12073
12074 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12075 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12076 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12077 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12078 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12079 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12080 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12081 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12082 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12083
12084 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12085 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12086 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12087 does not influence s as it used to.
12088
12089 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12090 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12091 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12092 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12093 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12094 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12095 [Bodo Moeller]
12096
12097 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12098 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12099 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12100 key type.
12101 [Steve Henson]
12102
12103 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12104 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12105 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12106 and 'x509').
12107 [Steve Henson]
12108
12109 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12110 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12111 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12112 extension option.
12113 [Steve Henson]
12114
12115 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12116 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12117 [Ben Laurie]
12118
12119 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12120 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12121
12122 *) Support Mingw32.
12123 [Ulf Möller]
12124
12125 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12126 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12127
12128 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12129 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12130
12131 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12132 [Ulf Möller]
12133
12134 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12135 [Anonymous]
12136
12137 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12138 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12139
12140 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12141 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12142 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12143 DER-encoded.)
12144 [Bodo Moeller]
12145
12146 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12147 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12148 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12149 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12150 now it really counts the depth.
12151 [Bodo Moeller]
12152
12153 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12154 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12155 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12156 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12157 didn't match the private key).
12158
12159 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12160 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12161 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12162 [Bodo Moeller]
12163
12164 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12165 [Ulf Möller]
12166
12167 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12168 David Harris.
12169 [Bodo Moeller]
12170
12171 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12172 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12173 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12174 [Bodo Moeller]
12175
12176 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12177 [Bodo Moeller]
12178
12179 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12180 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12181 such as /usr/local/bin.
12182 [Bodo Moeller]
12183
12184 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12185 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12186
12187 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12188 [Ulf Möller]
12189
12190 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12191 extension adding in x509 utility.
12192 [Steve Henson]
12193
12194 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12195 [Ulf Möller]
12196
12197 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12198 prototypes.
12199 [Steve Henson]
12200
12201 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12202 [Ulf Möller]
12203
12204 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12205 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12206 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12207 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12208 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12209 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12210 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12211 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12212 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12213 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12214 [Steve Henson]
12215
12216 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12217 [Bodo Moeller]
12218
12219 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12220 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12221 [Bodo Moeller]
12222
12223 *) Fix some race conditions.
12224 [Bodo Moeller]
12225
12226 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12227 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12228 [Steve Henson]
12229
12230 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12231 [Ulf Möller]
12232
12233 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12234 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12235 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12236 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12237
12238 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12239 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12240
12241 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12242 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12243 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12244
12245 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12246 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12247
12248 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12249 [Ulf Möller]
12250
12251 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12252 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12253
12254 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12255 [Ulf Möller]
12256
12257 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12258 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12259
12260 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12261 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12262 [Steve Henson]
12263
12264 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12265 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12266 [Ben Laurie]
12267
12268 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12269 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12270 [Steve Henson]
12271
12272 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12273 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12274 [Steve Henson]
12275
12276 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12277 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12278 [Steve Henson]
12279
12280 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12281 support typesafe stack.
12282 [Steve Henson]
12283
12284 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12285 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12286
12287 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12288 old X509V3 handling code.
12289 [Steve Henson]
12290
12291 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12292 [Ulf Möller]
12293
12294 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12295 [Bodo Moeller]
12296
12297 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12298 [Ben Laurie]
12299
12300 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12301 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12302
12303 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12304 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12305 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12306 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12307 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12308 [Ben Laurie]
12309
12310 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12311 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12312 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12313 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12314 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12315
12316 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12317 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12318 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12319 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12320
12321 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12322 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12323 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12324 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12325
12326 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12327 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12328 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12329 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12330 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12331 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12332 [Bodo Moeller]
12333
12334 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12335 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12336 [Bodo Moeller]
12337
12338 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12339 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12340 [Ulf Möller]
12341
12342 *) Tweaks to Configure
12343 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12344
12345 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12346 yet...
12347 [Steve Henson]
12348
12349 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12350 [Ulf Möller]
12351
12352 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12353 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12354 [Ulf Möller]
12355
12356 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12357 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12358 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12359 [Bodo Moeller]
12360
12361 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12362 [Bodo Moeller]
12363
12364 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12365 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12366 [Steve Henson]
12367
12368 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12369 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12370 to library startup routines.
12371 [Steve Henson]
12372
12373 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12374 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12375 codes along the way.
12376 [Steve Henson]
12377
12378 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12379 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12380 objects to objects.h
12381 [Steve Henson]
12382
12383 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12384 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12385 [Steve Henson]
12386
12387 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12388 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12389
12390 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12391 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12392 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12393
12394 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12395 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12396 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12397
12398 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12399 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12400 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12401
12402
12403 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12404
12405 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12406 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12407 [Ben Laurie]
12408
12409 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12410 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12411 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12412 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12413 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12414
12415 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12416 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12417 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12418 document.
12419 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12420
12421 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12422 Malloc, Free.
12423 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12424
12425 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12426 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12427
12428 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12429 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12430 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12431 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12432
12433 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12434 [Ben Laurie]
12435
12436 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12437 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12438 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12439 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12440 [Steve Henson]
12441
12442 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12443 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12444 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12445 [Steve Henson]
12446
12447 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12448 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12449 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12450 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12451 installed as `perl').
12452 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12453
12454 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12455 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12456
12457 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12458 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12459 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12460 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12461 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12462 [Steve Henson]
12463
12464 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12465 [Ben Laurie]
12466
12467 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12468 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12469 is horrible: I feel ill....
12470 [Steve Henson]
12471
12472 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12473 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12474 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12475 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12476 [Steve Henson]
12477
12478 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12479 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12480
12481 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12482 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12483 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12484 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12485
12486 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12487 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12488 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12489 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12490 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12491 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12492 openssl_bio.xs.
12493 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12494
12495 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12496 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12497
12498 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12499 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12500
12501 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12502 [Ben Laurie]
12503
12504 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12505 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12506 in CRLs.
12507 [Steve Henson]
12508
12509 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12510 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12511 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12512 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12513 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12514 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12515 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12516 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12517 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12518 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12519 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12520
12521 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12522 [Ben Laurie]
12523
12524 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12525 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12526 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12527 for linking it into DSOs.
12528 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12529
12530 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12531 Fixed.
12532 [Ben Laurie]
12533
12534 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12535 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12536 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12537 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12538 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12539 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12540
12541 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12542 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12543 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12544 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12545 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12546 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12547 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12548
12549 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12550 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12551 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12552 encryption.
12553 [Ben Laurie]
12554
12555 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12556 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12557 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12558 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12559 [Steve Henson]
12560
12561 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12562 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12563 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12564 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12565 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12566 field as blank.
12567 [Steve Henson]
12568
12569 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12570 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12571 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12572 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12573 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12574
12575 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12576 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12577 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12578
12579 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12580 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12581
12582 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12583 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12584 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12585 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12586 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12587 [Steve Henson]
12588
12589 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12590 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12591 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12592 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12593 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12594 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12595 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12596 [Ben Laurie]
12597
12598 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12599 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12600 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12601 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12602 [Ben Laurie]
12603
12604 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12605 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12606
12607 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12608 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12609 [Steve Henson]
12610
12611 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12612 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12613 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12614 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12615 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12616 (e.g. s_server).
12617 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12618 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12619 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12620 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12621 no way to reconfigure them.
12622 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12623 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12624 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12625 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12626 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12627 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12628
12629 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12630 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12631 recognized by the users.
12632 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12633
12634 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12635 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12636 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12637 already masked variable.
12638 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12639
12640 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12641 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12642
12643 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12644 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12645 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12646 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12647
12648 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12649 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12650 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12651
12652 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12653 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12654 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12655 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12656 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12657 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12658 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12659 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12660 now, too.
12661 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12662
12663 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12664 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12665 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12666
12667 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12668 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12669 config file.
12670 [Steve Henson]
12671
12672 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12673 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12674
12675 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12676 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12677 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12678 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12679 [Ben Laurie]
12680
12681 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12682 [Steve Henson]
12683
12684 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12685 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12686
12687 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12688 [Ben Laurie]
12689
12690 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12691 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12692 [Steve Henson]
12693
12694 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12695 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12696 [Steve Henson]
12697
12698 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12699 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12700 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12701 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12702 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12703 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12704 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12705 Ben Laurie]
12706
12707 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12708 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12709
12710 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12711 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12712 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12713 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12714 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12715
12716 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12717 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12718 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12719 [Steve Henson]
12720
12721 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12722 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12723 an example.
12724 [Steve Henson]
12725
12726 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12727 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12728 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12729
12730 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12731 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12732 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12733 build instructions.
12734 [Steve Henson]
12735
12736 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12737 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12738 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12739 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12740 [Steve Henson]
12741
12742 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12743 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12744 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12745 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12746 [Ben Laurie]
12747
12748 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12749 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12750 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12751 so it wasn't spotted.
12752 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12753
12754 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12755 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12756 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12757 vectors if you have them.
12758 [Ben Laurie]
12759
12760 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12761 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12762 [Ben Laurie]
12763
12764 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12765 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12766 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12767 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12768 If you do a:
12769 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12770 it will update them.
12771 [Steve Henson]
12772
12773 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12774 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12775 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12776 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12777 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12778 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12779 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12780 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12781
12782 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12783 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12784 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12785 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12786 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12787 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12788 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12789 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12790 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12791 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12792
12793 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12794 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12795 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12796 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12797 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12798 [Steve Henson]
12799
12800 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12801 INTEGER code.
12802 [Steve Henson]
12803
12804 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12805 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12806
12807 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12808 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12809
12810 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12811 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12812 [Ben Laurie]
12813
12814 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12815 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12816
12817 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12818 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12819
12820 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12821 [Steve Henson]
12822
12823 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12824 few typos.
12825 [Steve Henson]
12826
12827 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12828 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12829 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12830 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12831
12832 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12833 [Steve Henson]
12834
12835 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12836 [Steve Henson]
12837
12838 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12839 [Steve Henson]
12840
12841 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12842 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12843 [Steve Henson]
12844
12845 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12846 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12847 CA extensions.
12848 [Steve Henson]
12849
12850 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12851 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12852 [Steve Henson]
12853
12854 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12855 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12856 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12857 [Steve Henson]
12858
12859 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12860 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12861 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12862 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12863 properly to be processed.
12864 [Steve Henson]
12865
12866 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12867 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12868 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12869 [Ben Laurie]
12870
12871 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12872 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12873
12874 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12875 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12876 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12877 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12878 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12879 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12880 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12881 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12882 or delete all the .err files.
12883 [Steve Henson]
12884
12885 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12886 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12887 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12888 to regenerate it if needed.
12889 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12890 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12891
12892 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12893 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12894
12895 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12896 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12897 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12898 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12899 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12900 [Steve Henson]
12901
12902 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12903 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12904
12905 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12906 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12907
12908 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12909 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12910 error, but didn't set one).
12911 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12912
12913 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12914 [Ben Laurie]
12915
12916 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12917 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12918 [Steve Henson]
12919
12920 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12921 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12922
12923 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12924 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12925 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12926 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12927 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12928 OID is not part of the table.
12929 [Steve Henson]
12930
12931 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12932 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12933 [Ben Laurie]
12934
12935 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12936 [Ben Laurie]
12937
12938 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12939 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12940 was "1234").
12941 [Steve Henson]
12942
12943 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12944 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12945
12946 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12947 NULL pointers.
12948 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12949
12950 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12951 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12952
12953 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12954 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12955
12956 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12957 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12958
12959 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12960 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12961 [Ben Laurie]
12962
12963 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12964 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12965 [Steve Henson]
12966
12967 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12968 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12969
12970 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12971 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12972
12973 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12974 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12975
12976 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12977 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12978
12979 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12980 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12981 unused in the certificate verification process.
12982 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12983
12984 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12985 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12986 [Steve Henson]
12987
12988 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12989 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12990 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12991
12992 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12993 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12994 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12995 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12996 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12997
12998 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12999 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13000 [Steve Henson]
13001
13002 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13003 [Steve Henson]
13004
13005 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13006 [Paul Sutton]
13007
13008 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13009 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13010
13011 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13012 [Ben Laurie]
13013
13014 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13015 [Ben Laurie]
13016
13017 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13018 [Ben Laurie]
13019
13020 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13021 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13022 other error libraries.
13023 [Steve Henson]
13024
13025 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13026 [Steve Henson]
13027
13028 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13029 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13030 be read in.
13031 [Steve Henson]
13032
13033 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13034 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13035 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13036 the new set of documentation files.
13037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13038
13039 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13040 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13041 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13042 number of arguments.
13043 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13044
13045 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13046 [Ben Laurie]
13047
13048 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13049 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13050 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13051
13052 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13053 [Ben Laurie]
13054
13055 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13056 nextstep
13057 ncr-scde
13058 unixware-2.0
13059 unixware-2.0-pentium
13060 sco5-cc.
13061 [Ben Laurie]
13062
13063 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13064 before they are needed.
13065 [Ben Laurie]
13066
13067 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13068 [Ben Laurie]
13069
13070
13071 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13072
13073 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13074 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13075 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13076
13077 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13078 [Paul Sutton]
13079
13080 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13081 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13082 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13083
13084 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13085 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13086 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13087
13088 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13089 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13090 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13091
13092 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13093 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13094
13095 *) Updated the README file.
13096 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13097
13098 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13099 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13100 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13101
13102 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13103 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13104 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13105
13106 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13107 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13108 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13109 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13110 o removed obsolete TODO file
13111 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13112 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13113
13114 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13115 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13116 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13117 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13118 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13119 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13120 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13121
13122 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13123 [Mark J. Cox]
13124
13125 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13126 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13127 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13128 summer 1998.
13129 [The OpenSSL Project]
13130
13131
13132 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13133
13134 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13135 [Eric A. Young]
13136
13137 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13138 [Eric A. Young]
13139
13140 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13141 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13142 [Eric A. Young]
13143
13144 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13145 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13146 available).
13147 [Eric A. Young]
13148
13149 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13150 binary structures
13151 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13152
13153 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13154 [Eric A. Young]
13155
13156 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13157 [Eric A. Young]
13158
13159 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13160 [Eric A. Young]
13161
13162 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13163 [Eric A. Young]
13164
13165 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13166 [Eric A. Young]
13167
13168 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13169 [Eric A. Young]
13170
13171 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13172 [Eric A. Young]
13173
13174 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13175 [Eric A. Young]
13176
13177 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13178 [Eric A. Young]
13179
13180 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13181 [Eric A. Young]
13182
13183 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13184 [Eric A. Young]
13185
13186 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13187 [Eric A. Young]
13188
13189 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13190 [Eric A. Young]
13191
13192 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13193 [Eric A. Young]
13194
13195 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13196 [Eric A. Young]
13197
13198 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13199 [Eric A. Young]
13200
13201 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13202 [Eric A. Young]
13203
13204 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13205 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13206 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13207 [Eric A. Young]
13208
13209 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13210 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13211 [Eric A. Young]
13212
13213 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13214 [Eric A. Young]
13215
13216 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13217 [Eric A. Young]
13218
13219 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
13220 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13221 [Eric A. Young]
13222
13223 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
13224 [Eric A. Young]
13225
13226 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
13227 [Eric A. Young]
13228
13229 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
13230 bytes sent in the client random.
13231 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
