5 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
8 [Andy Polyakov]
9
10 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
11 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
12 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
13 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
14 [Steve Henson]
15
16 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
17 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
18 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
19 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
20 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
21 [Steve Henson]
22
23 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
24 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
25 [Cryptocom]
26
27 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
28 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
29 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
30 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
31 [Steve Henson]
32
33 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
34 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
35 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
36 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
37 [Steve Henson]
38
39 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
40 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
41 [Steve Henson]
42
43 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
44 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
45 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
46 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
47 [Steve Henson]
48
49 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
50 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
51 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
52 [Steve Henson]
53
54 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
55 utility.
56 [Steve Henson]
57
58 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
59 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
60 [Steve Henson]
61
62 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
63 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
64 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
65 if necessary.
66 [Steve Henson]
67
68 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
69 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
70 to free up any added signature OIDs.
71 [Steve Henson]
72
73 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
74 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
75 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
76 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
77 [Steve Henson]
78
79 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
80 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
81 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
82 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
83 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
84 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
85 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
86 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
87
88 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
89 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
90 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
91
92 we now have additional functions
93
94 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
95 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
96 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
97
98 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
99 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
100 callback is &errno.
101 [Bodo Moeller]
102
103 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
104 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
105 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
106 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
107 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
108 the array representation useful in a more general context.
109 [Douglas Stebila]
110
111 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
112 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
113 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
114 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
115 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
116
117 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
118 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
119 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
120 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
121 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
122 protocol).
123
124 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
125 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
126 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
127 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
128
129 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
130 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
131 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
132 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
133 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
134
135 aECDH - ECDH cert
136 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
137 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
138
139 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
140 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
141
142 [Bodo Moeller]
143
144 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
145 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
146 [Steve Henson]
147
148 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
149 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
150 [Steve Henson]
151
152 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
153 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
154 functional reference processing.
155 [Steve Henson]
156
157 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
158 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
159 process.
160 [Steve Henson]
161
162 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
163 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
164 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
165 [Steve Henson]
166
167 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
168 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
169 application to support multiple signers.
170 [Steve Henson]
171
172 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
173 digest MAC.
174 [Steve Henson]
175
176 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
177 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
178 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
179 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
180 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
181 [Steve Henson]
182
183 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
184 new API.
185 [Steve Henson]
186
187 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
188 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
189 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
190 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
191 a no op.
192 [Steve Henson]
193
194 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
195 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
196 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
197 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
198 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
199 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
200 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
201 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
202 [Steve Henson]
203
204 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
205 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
206 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
207 between digests and public key types.
208 [Steve Henson]
209
210 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
211 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
212 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
213 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
214 [Steve Henson]
215
216 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
217 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
218 key ASN1 method.
219 [Steve Henson]
220
221 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
222 [Steve Henson]
223
224 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
225 pkeyutl.
226 [Steve Henson]
227
228 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
229 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
230 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
231 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
232 pkey, genpkey.
233 [Steve Henson]
234
235 *) BeOS support.
236 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
237
238 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
239 manual pages.
240 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
241
242 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
243 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
244 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
245 functionality for RSA.
246 [Steve Henson]
247
248 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
249 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
250 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
251 [Steve Henson]
252
253 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
254 key API, doesn't do much yet.
255 [Steve Henson]
256
257 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
258 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
259 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
260 [Steve Henson]
261
262 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
263 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
264 [Douglas Stebila]
265
266 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
267 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
268 [Steve Henson]
269
270 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
271 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
272 type.
273 [Steve Henson]
274
275 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
276 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
277 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
278 structure.
279 [Steve Henson]
280
281 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
282 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
283 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
284 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
285 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
286 of public and private key structures.
287 [Steve Henson]
288
289 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
290 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
291 [Douglas Stebila]
292
293 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
294 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
295 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
296
297 New ciphersuites:
298 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
299 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
300
301 New functions:
302 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
303 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
304 SSL_get_psk_identity
305 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
306
307 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
308
309 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
310 and response verification functionality.
311 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
312
313 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
314 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
315 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
316 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
317 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
318 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
319 server_name extension.
320
321 New functions (subject to change):
322
323 SSL_get_servername()
324 SSL_get_servername_type()
325 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
326
327 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
328
329 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
330 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
331 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
332 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
333 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
334
335 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
336
337 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
338 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
339 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
340 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
341 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
342 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
343 option.
344
345 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
346
347 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
348 [Andy Polyakov]
349
350 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
351 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
352 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
353 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
354 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
355 [Andy Polyakov]
356
357 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
358 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
359 macro.
360 [Bodo Moeller]
361
362 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
363 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
364 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
365 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
366 [Andy Polyakov]
367
368 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
369 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
370 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
371 using the maximum available value.
372 [Steve Henson]
373
374 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
375 in addition to the text details.
376 [Bodo Moeller]
377
378 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
379 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
380 handle several customised structures at all.
381 [Steve Henson]
382
383 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
384 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
385 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
386 [Steve Henson]
387
388 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
389 [Steve Henson]
390
391 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
392 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
393 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
394 [Steve Henson]
395
396 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
397 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
398 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
399 [Nils Larsch]
400
401 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
402 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
403 all fields.
404 [Steve Henson]
405
406 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
407 [Steve Henson]
408
409 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
410 [NTT]
411
412 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [XX xxx XXXX]
413
414 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
415
416 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
417 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
418 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
419
420 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
421 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
422
423 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
424 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
425
426 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
427 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
428 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
429
430 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
431 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
432 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
433 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
434 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
435 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
436 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
437 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
438 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
439
440 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
441 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
442 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
443 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
444 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
445
446 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
447 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
448 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
449 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
450 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
451 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
452 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
453 multiple values to extend the available space.
454
455 [Bodo Moeller]
456
457 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
458
459 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
460 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
461
462 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
463 [Ben Laurie]
464
465 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
466 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
467 undesirable limitations.
468 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
469
470 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
471 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
472 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
473 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
474 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
475 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
476 to avoid potential handshake problems.
477 [Bodo Moeller]
478
479 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
480
481 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
482 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
483 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
484
485 The latter two were purportedly from
486 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
487 appear there.
488
489 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
490 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
491 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
492 [Bodo Moeller]
493
494 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
495 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
496 [Bodo Moeller]
497
498 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
499 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
500 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
501 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
502
503 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
504 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
505 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
506 [NTT]
507
508 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
509 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
510 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
511 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
512 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
513 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
514 [Steve Henson]
515
516 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
517
518 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
519 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
520 [Steve Henson]
521
522 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
523 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
524
525 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
526 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
527 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
528 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
529 [Douglas Stebila]
530
531 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
532 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
533 [Steve Henson]
534
535 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
536 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
537 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
538 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
539 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
540 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
541 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
542 can't be loaded.
543 [Steve Henson]
544
545 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
546 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
547 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
548 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
549 [Steve Henson]
550
551 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
552 under VC++ build system.
553 [Steve Henson]
554
555 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
556 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
557 [Richard Levitte]
558
559 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
560
561 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
562 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
563 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
564 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
565 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
566
567 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
568 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
569 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
570
571 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
572 [Steve Henson]
573
574 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
575 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
576 [Nils Larsch]
577
578 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
579 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
580
581 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
582 [Nick Mathewson]
583
584 *) Extended Windows CE support.
585 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
586
587 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
588 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
589 [Steve Henson]
590
591 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
592 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
593 smime utility.
594 [Steve Henson]
595
596 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
597
598 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
599 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
600
601 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
602 [Richard Levitte]
603
604 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
605 key into the same file any more.
606 [Richard Levitte]
607
608 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
609 [Andy Polyakov]
610
611 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
612 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
613
614 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
615 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
616 [Richard Levitte]
617
618 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
619 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
620 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
621 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
622 this only applies when building 'shared'.
623 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
624
625 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
626 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
627 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
628 [Steve Henson]
629
630 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
631 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
632 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
633 - add new function for parameter creation
634 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
635 BN_BLINDING parameters
636 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
637 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
638 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
639 threads.
640 [Nils Larsch]
641
642 *) Add support for DTLS.
643 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
644
645 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
646 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
647 [Walter Goulet]
648
649 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
650 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
651 [Nils Larsch]
652
653 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
654 the apps/openssl applications.
655 [Nils Larsch]
656
657 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
658 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
659 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
660 [Ben Laurie]
661
662 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
663 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
664
665 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
666 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
667
668 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
669 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
670 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
671 avoid this algorithm.)
672
673 [Bodo Moeller]
674
675 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
676 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
677 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
678 [Richard Levitte]
679
680 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
681 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
682 [Andy Polyakov]
683
684 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
685 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
686 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
687 pod file:
688
689 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
690
691 The blank line is mandatory.
692
693 [Steve Henson]
694
695 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
696 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
697 sources.
698 [Steve Henson]
699
700 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
701 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
702
703 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
704 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
705 to support policy checking and print out.
706 [Steve Henson]
707
708 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
709 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
710 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
711 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
712
713 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
714 [Geoff Thorpe]
715
716 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
717 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
718
719 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
720 implementation contributed by IBM.
721 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
722
723 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
724 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
725 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
726 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
727
728 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
729 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
730
731 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
732 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
733 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
734 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
735 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
736 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
737 [Steve Henson]
738
739 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
740 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
741 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
742 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
743 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
744 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
745 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
746 [Geoff Thorpe]
747
748 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
749 [Steve Henson]
750
751 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
752 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
753 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
754 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
755 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
756 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
757 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
758 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
759 [Steve Henson]
760
761 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
762 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
763 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
764 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
765 [Steve Henson]
766
767 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
768 syntax:
769
770 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
771 [Steve Henson]
772
773 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
774 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
775 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
776 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
777 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
778 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
779 BN_CTX's "bundling".
780 [Geoff Thorpe]
781
782 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
783 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
784 [Geoff Thorpe]
785
786 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
787 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
788 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
789 [Steve Henson]
790
791 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
792 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
793 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
794 below).
795 [Geoff Thorpe]
796
797 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
798 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
799 [Richard Levitte]
800
801 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
802 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
803 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
804 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
805 [Geoff Thorpe]
806
807 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
808 initialised value as BN_new().
809 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
810
811 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
812 [Steve Henson]
813
814 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
815 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
816 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
817 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
818 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
819 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
820 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
821 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
822 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
823 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
824 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
825 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
826 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
827 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
828 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
829
830 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
831 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
832 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
833 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
834 [Geoff Thorpe]
835
836 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
837 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
838 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
839 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
840 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
841 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
842 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
843 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
844 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
845 [Geoff Thorpe]
846
847 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
848 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
849 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
850 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
851 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
852 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
853 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
854 [Geoff Thorpe]
855
856 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
857 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
858 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
859 these have been updated also.
860 [Geoff Thorpe]
861
862 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
863 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
864 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
865 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
866 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
867 functions.
868 [Steve Henson]
869
870 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
871 structure of type "other".
872 [Steve Henson]
873
874 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
875 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
876 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
877 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
878 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
879 situation in the script.
880 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
881
882 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
883 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
884 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
885 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
886 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
887 used as premaster secret.
888 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
889
890 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
891 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
892 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
893
894 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
895 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
896
897 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
898 control of the error stack.
899 [Richard Levitte]
900
901 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
902 [Richard Levitte]
903
904 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
905 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
906 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
907 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
908 [Richard Levitte]
909
910 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
911 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
912 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
913 [Richard Levitte]
914
915 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
916 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
917 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
918 a memory area.
919 [Richard Levitte]
920
921 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
922 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
923 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
924 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
925 [Richard Levitte]
926
927 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
928 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
929 the following flags are defined:
930
931 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
932 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
933 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
934 number.
935
936 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
937 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
938 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
939 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
940 returns zero.
941 [Richard Levitte]
942
943 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
944 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
945 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
946 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
947 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
948 [Richard Levitte]
949
950 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
951 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
952 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
953 [Richard Levitte]
954
955 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
956 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
957 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
958 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
959 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
960 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
961 [Richard Levitte]
962
963 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
964 req and dirName.
965 [Steve Henson]
966
967 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
968 [Steve Henson]
969
970 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
971 [Steve Henson]
972
973 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
974 [Steve Henson]
975
976 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
977 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
978 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
979 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
980 default implementation more easily.
981 [Geoff Thorpe]
982
983 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
984 in config files.
985 [Steve Henson]
986
987 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
988 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
989 [Richard Levitte]
990
991 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
992 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
993 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
994 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
995
996 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
997 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
998 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
999 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1000 [Steve Henson]
1001
1002 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1003 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1004 to do it.
1005 [Richard Levitte]
1006
1007 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1008 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1009 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1010 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1011 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1012 scalar * generator).
1013 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1014
1015 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1016 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1017 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1018 correctly.
1019 [Steve Henson]
1020
1021 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1022 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1023 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1024 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1025 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1026 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1027 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1028 linker additions, eg;
1029 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1030 [Geoff Thorpe]
1031
1032 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1033 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1034 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1035 [Geoff Thorpe]
1036
1037 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1038 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1039 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1040 via PR#459)
1041 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1042
1043 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1044 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1045 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1046 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1047 [Geoff Thorpe]
1048
1049 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1050 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1051 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1052 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1053 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1054 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1055 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1056 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1057 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1058 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1059
1060 Example for using the new callback interface:
1061
1062 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1063 void *my_arg = ...;
1064 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1065
1066 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1067
1068 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1069 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1070 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1071 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1072 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1073 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1074 */
1075
1076 [Geoff Thorpe]
1077
1078 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1079 available to TLS with the number defined in
1080 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1081 [Richard Levitte]
1082
1083 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1084 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1085
1086 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1087 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1088 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1089 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1090
1091 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1092 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1093
1094 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1095 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1096 well.
1097 [Richard Levitte]
1098
1099 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1100 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1101 [Richard Levitte]
1102
1103 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1104 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1105 and a macro that behave like
1106 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1107
1108 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1109 [Nils Larsch]
1110
1111 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1112 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1113 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1114 if applicable.
1115 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1116
1117 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1118 [Bodo Moeller]
1119
1120 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1121 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1122 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1123 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1124 directory engines/.
1125 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1126 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1127 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1128 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1129 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1130 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1131 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1132 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1133
1134 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1135 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1136 [Richard Levitte]
1137
1138 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1139 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1140
1141 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1142 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1143 files while avoiding the low level API.
1144
1145 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1146 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1147 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1148 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1149
1150 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1151 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1152 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1153 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1154 instead of the low level API.
1155 [Steve Henson]
1156
1157 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1158 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1159 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1160 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1161 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1162 PKCS#7 code.
1163
1164 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1165 down to the template encoder.
1166 [Steve Henson]
1167
1168 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1169 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1170 [Bodo Moeller]
1171
1172 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1173 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1174 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1175 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1176
1177 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1178 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1179
1180 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1181 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1182
1183 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1184 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1185 [Bodo Moeller]
1186
1187 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1188 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1189 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1190 [Bodo Moeller]
1191
1192 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1193 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1194
1195 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1196 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1197
1198 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1199 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1200 New EC_METHOD:
1201
1202 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1203
1204 New API functions:
1205
1206 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1207 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1208 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1209 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1210 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1211 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1212
1213 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1214 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1215 enable it).
1216
1217 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1218 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1219 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1220 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1221 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1222 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1223 various internal method names.)
1224
1225 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1226 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1227
1228 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1229 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1230
1231 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1232 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1233
1234 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1235 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1236 methods are undefined.
1237
1238 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1239 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1240
1241 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1242 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1243 length of the modulus.
1244
1245 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1246 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1247
1248 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1249 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1250
1251 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1252 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1253
1254 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1255 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1256 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1257
1258 BN_GF2m_add
1259 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1260 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1261 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1262 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1263 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
1264 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1265 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1266 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1267 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1268
1269 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1270 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1271
1272 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1273 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1274 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1275 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1276 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1277 where
1278 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1279 This applies to the following functions:
1280
1281 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1282 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1283 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1284 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1285 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1286 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1287 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1288 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1289 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1290 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1291
1292 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1293
1294 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1295 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1296
1297 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1298
1299 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1300 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1301 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1302 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1303 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1304
1305 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1306 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1307
1308 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1309 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1310 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1311
1312 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1313 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1314
1315 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1316 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1317 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1318 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1319 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1320
1321 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1322 functions
1323 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1324 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1325 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1326 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1327 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1328 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1329 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1330 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1331 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1332 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1333 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1334 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1335
1336 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1337 functions
1338 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1339 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1340 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1341 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1342 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1343
1344 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1345 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1346 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1347 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1348
1349 *) Add functions
1350 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1351 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1352 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1353 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1354 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1355 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1356 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1357
1358 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1359 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1360 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1361 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1362 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1363 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1364 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1365 adding different types of curves.
1366 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1367
1368 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1369 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1370 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1371 [Bodo Moeller]
1372
1373 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1374 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1375
1376 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1377 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1378 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1379 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1380
1381 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1382
1383 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1384 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1385
1386 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1387 library. Most notably,
1388 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1389 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1390 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1391 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1392 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1393 extracted before the specific public key;
1394 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1395 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1396
1397 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1398 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1399 function
1400 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1401 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1402 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1403 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1404 accessed via
1405 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1406 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1407 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1408
1409 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1410 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1411 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1412 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1413 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1414 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1415 differing sizes.
1416 [Richard Levitte]
1417
1418 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1419
1420 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1421 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1422 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1423
1424 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1425 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1426
1427 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1428 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1429
1430 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1431 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1432 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1433
1434 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1435 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1436 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1437 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1438 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1439 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1440 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1441 [Bodo Moeller]
1442
1443 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1444
1445 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1446 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1447
1448 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1449 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1450 undesirable limitations.
1451 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1452
1453 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1454
1455 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1456 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1457 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1458
1459 The latter two were purportedly from
1460 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1461 appear there.
1462
1463 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1464 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1465 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1466 [Bodo Moeller]
1467
1468 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1469 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1470 [Bodo Moeller]
1471
1472 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1473
1474 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1475 module in FIPS mode.
1476 [Steve Henson]
1477
1478 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1479 [Steve Henson]
1480
1481 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1482 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1483 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1484 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1485 [Steve Henson]
1486
1487 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1488
1489 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1490 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1491 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1492 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1493 the difference induced by this change.
1494 [Andy Polyakov]
1495
1496 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1497
1498 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1499 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1500 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1501 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1502 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1503
1504 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1505 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1506 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1507
1508 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1509 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1510 [Steve Henson]
1511
1512 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1513 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1514 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1515 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1516 biased k.)
1517 [Bodo Moeller]
1518
1519 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1520 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1521 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1522 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1523 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1524
1525 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1526 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1527 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1528 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1529 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1530 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1531
1532 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1533
1534 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1535 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1536 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1537 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1538 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1539 [Bodo Moeller]
1540
1541 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1542 clients need.
1543 [Steve Henson]
1544
1545 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1546 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1547 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1548 [Steve Henson]
1549
1550 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1551 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1552 structures constant.
1553 [Steve Henson]
1554
1555 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1556
1557 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1558 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1559
1560 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1561 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1562 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1563 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1564 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1565 some needed definitions.
1566 [Steve Henson]
1567
1568 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1569 [Ulf Möller]
1570
1571 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1572 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1573 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1574 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1575 [Richard Levitte]
1576
1577 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1578
1579 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1580 server and client random values. Previously
1581 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1582 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1583
1584 This change has negligible security impact because:
1585
1586 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1587 data.
1588
1589 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1590 handshake.
1591
1592 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1593 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1594 values.
1595
1596 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1597 to our attention.
1598
1599 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1600
1601 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1602 [Ulf Möller]
1603
1604 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1605 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1606 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1607
1608 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1609 [Steve Henson]
1610
1611 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1612 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1613 [Andy Polyakov]
1614
1615 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1616 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1617 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1618
1619 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1620 [Steve Henson]
1621
1622 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1623 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1624 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1625 certificates.
1626 [Steve Henson]
1627
1628 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1629 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1630 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1631 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1632
1633 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1634 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1635 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1636 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1637 been given)
1638 [Richard Levitte]
1639
1640 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1641
1642 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1643 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1644 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1645 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1646 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1647 [Steve Henson]
1648
1649 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1650 [Steve Henson]
1651
1652 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1653 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1654
1655 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1656 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1657 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1658 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1659 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1660 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1661 rather than being initialized to 1.
1662 [Steve Henson]
1663
1664 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1665
1666 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1667 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1668 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1669
1670 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1671 (CVE-2004-0112)
1672 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1673
1674 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1675 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1676 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1677 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1678 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1679 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1680 [Richard Levitte]
1681
1682 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1683 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1684 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1685 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1686 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1687 for these cases.
1688 [Steve Henson]
1689
1690 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1691 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1692 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1693 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1694 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1695 [Steve Henson]
1696
1697 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1698 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1699 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1700 < 0.9.7.
1701 [Steve Henson]
1702
1703 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1704 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1705
1706 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1707 [Steve Henson]
1708
1709 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1710
1711 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1712
1713 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1714 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1715
1716 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1717
1718 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1719 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1720
1721 [Steve Henson]
1722
1723 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1724 exiting on the first error in a request.
1725 [Steve Henson]
1726
1727 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1728 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1729 specifications.
1730 [Steve Henson]
1731
1732 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1733 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1734 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1735 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1736
1737 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1738 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1739 [Richard Levitte]
1740
1741 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1742 blocks during encryption.
1743 [Richard Levitte]
1744
1745 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1746 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1747 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1748 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1749 certain size.
1750 [Steve Henson]
1751
1752 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1753 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1754 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1755 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1756 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1757 parser.
1758 [Steve Henson]
1759
1760 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1761
1762 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1763 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1764 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1765 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1766 [Bodo Moeller]
1767
1768 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1769 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1770 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1771 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1772 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1773
1774 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1775 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1776 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1777 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1778 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1779 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1780 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1781 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1782 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1783 [Bodo Moeller]
1784
1785 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1786 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1787 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1788 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1789 [Geoff Thorpe]
1790
1791 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1792 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1793 [Ulf Moeller]
1794
1795 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1796
1797 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1798 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1799 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1800 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1801 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1802
1803 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1804 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1805 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1806
1807 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1808 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1809 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1810 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1811 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1812
1813 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1814 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1815 used by default when no-err is given.
1816 [Richard Levitte]
1817
1818 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1819 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1820
1821 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1822 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1823 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1824 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1825 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1826
1827 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1828 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1829 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1830 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1831
1832 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1833
1834 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1835
1836 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1837
1838 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1839 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1840 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1841 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1842 root is omitted).
1843 [Steve Henson]
1844
1845 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1846 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1847
1848 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1849 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1850 [Steve Henson]
1851
1852 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1853 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1854 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1855 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1856 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1857
1858 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1859 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1860 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1861 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1862 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1863 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1864 followup to PR #377.
1865 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1866
1867 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1868 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1869 [Andy Polyakov]
1870
1871 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1872 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1873 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
1874 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
1875
1876 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1877
1878 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1879 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
1880
1881 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1882 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1883 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1884 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1885 client and server.
1886 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1887 PR #377.
1888 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1889
1890 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
1891 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1892 removed entirely.
1893 [Richard Levitte]
1894
1895 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1896 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1897 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1898 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1899 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1900 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1901 of libcrypto.
1902 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1903 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1904 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1905 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1906 have to be made anyway).
1907 [Richard Levitte]
1908
1909 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1910 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1911 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1912 [Steve Henson]
1913
1914 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1915 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1916 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1917 [Richard Levitte]
1918
1919 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1920 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1921 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1922
1923 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1924 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1925 edit numbers of the version.
1926 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1927
1928 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1929 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1930 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1931
1932 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1933 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1934
1935 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1936 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1937 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1938
1939 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1940 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1941
1942 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1943 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1944
1945 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1946 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1947
1948 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1949 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1950
1951 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1952 overflows.
1953 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1954
1955 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1956 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1957 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1958
1959 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1960 representations in a platform independent manner.
1961 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1962
1963 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1964 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1965 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1966
1967 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1968 indents.
1969 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1970
1971 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1972 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1973
1974 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1975 full. Fixed.
1976 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1977
1978 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1979 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1980 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1981
1982 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1983 unconditionally).
1984 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1985
1986 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1987 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1988
1989 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1990 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1991
1992 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1993 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1994
1995 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1996 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1997
1998 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1999 CBCParameter.
2000 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2001
2002 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2003 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2004
2005 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2006 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2007
2008 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2009 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2010 exploitable.
2011 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2012
2013 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2014 the 0.9.6 release series:
2015
2016 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2017 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2018 (CVE-2002-0657)
2019 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2020
2021 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2022 [Richard Levitte]
2023
2024 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2025 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2026
2027 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2028 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2029
2030 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2031 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2032 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2033 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2034
2035 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2036 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2037 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2038
2039 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2040 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2041 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2042 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2043
2044 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2045 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2046 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2047 some local tweaks:
2048
2049 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2050 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2051 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2052 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2053 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2054 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2055 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2056 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2057 done
2058
2059 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2060 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2061 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2062 [Richard Levitte]
2063
2064 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2065 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2066 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2067 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2068 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2069
2070 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2071 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2072
2073 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2074 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2075 [Richard Levitte]
2076
2077 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2078 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2079 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2080 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2081 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2082 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2083 [Steve Henson]
2084
2085 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2086 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2087 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2088 [Steve Henson]
2089
2090 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2091 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2092 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2093
2094 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2095 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2096 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2097 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2098 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2099 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2100 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2101 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2102
2103 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2104 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2105 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2106 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2107 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2108 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2109 [Steve Henson]
2110
2111 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2112 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2113 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2114 declaration has been changed from
2115 int (*cb)()
2116 into
2117 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2118 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2119 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2120 has been changed into
2121 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2122
2123 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2124 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2125 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2126
2127 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2128 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2129
2130 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2131 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2132 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2133 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2134 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2135 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2136 always load it have also been added.
2137 [Steve Henson]
2138
2139 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2140 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2141 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2142
2143 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2144
2145 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2146 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2147 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2148
2149 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2150 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2151 command line option can be used to specify an
2152 alternative file.
2153 [Steve Henson]
2154
2155 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2156 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2157 [Steve Henson]
2158
2159 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2160 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2161 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2162 [Steve Henson]
2163
2164 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2165 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2166 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2167 to work with the new engine framework.
2168 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2169
2170 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2171 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2172 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2173 to work with the new engine framework.
2174 [Richard Levitte]
2175
2176 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2177 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2178 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2179
2180 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2181 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2182
2183 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2184 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2185 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2186 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2187 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2188 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2189
2190 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2191 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2192
2193 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2194 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2195
2196 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2197 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2198 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2199 [Ben Laurie]
2200
2201 *) Add new functions
2202 ERR_peek_last_error
2203 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2204 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2205 These are similar to
2206 ERR_peek_error
2207 ERR_peek_error_line
2208 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2209 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2210 still in the error queue.
2211 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2212
2213 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2214 like:
2215 default_algorithms = ALL
2216 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2217 [Steve Henson]
2218
2219 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2220 [Steve Henson]
2221
2222 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2226 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2227 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2228 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2229
2230 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2231 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2232
2233 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2234 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2235
2236 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2237 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2238 [Bodo Moeller]
2239
2240 *) New functions/macros
2241
2242 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2243 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2244 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2245 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2246
2247 to request calling a callback function
2248
2249 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2250 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2251
2252 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2253 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2254 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2255 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2256 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2257 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2258 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2259 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2260 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2261 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2262
2263 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2264 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2265 [Bodo Moeller]
2266
2267 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2268 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2269 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2270 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2271 the configuration scripts.
2272
2273 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2274 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2275 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2276
2277 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2278 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2279
2280 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2281 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2282 when reusing an existing buffer.
2283 [Bodo Moeller]
2284
2285 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2286 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2287 [Steve Henson]
2288
2289 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2290 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2291 [Ben Laurie]
2292
2293 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2294 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2295 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2296 has the same effect.
2297 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2298
2299 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2300 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2301 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2302 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2303 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2304 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2305 exception.
2306
2307 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2308 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2309 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2310 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2311
2312 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2313 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2314 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2315 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2316
2317 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2318 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2319 won't work.
2320
2321 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2322 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2323 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2324 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2325 default), and then completely removed.
2326 [Richard Levitte]
2327
2328 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2329 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2330 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2331 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2332 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2333 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2334 particular extension is supported.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2338 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2339 [Steve Henson]
2340
2341 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2342 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2343 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2344 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2345 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2346 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2347 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2348 requires the destination to be valid.
2349
2350 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2351 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2352 [Steve Henson]
2353
2354 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2355 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2356 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2357 [Bodo Moeller]
2358
2359 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2360 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2361
2362 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2363 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2364 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2365 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2366 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2367 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2368 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2369 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2370 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2371 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2372 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2373 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2374 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2375 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2376 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2377 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2378 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2379 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2380 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2381 the new code.
2382 [Geoff Thorpe]
2383
2384 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2385 [Steve Henson]
2386
2387 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2388 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2389 become part of libeay.num as well.
2390 [Richard Levitte]
2391
2392 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2393 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2394 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2395 false once a handshake has been completed.
2396 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2397 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2398 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2399 client has followed the request.)
2400 [Bodo Moeller]
2401
2402 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2403 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2404 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2405 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2406
2407 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2408 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2409 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2410 [Bodo Moeller]
2411
2412 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2413 [Steve Henson]
2414
2415 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2416 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2417 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2418 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2419
2420 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2421 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2422 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2423
2424 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2425 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2426 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2427 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2428 [Geoff Thorpe]
2429
2430 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2431 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2432 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2433 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2434 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2435 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2436 [Geoff Thorpe]
2437
2438 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2439 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2440 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2441 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2442 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2443 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2444 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2445 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2446 [Geoff Thorpe]
2447
2448 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2449 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2450 [Geoff Thorpe]
2451
2452 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2453 [Ben Laurie]
2454
2455 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2456 md_data void pointer.
2457 [Ben Laurie]
2458
2459 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2460 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2461 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2462 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2463 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2464 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2465 [Ben Laurie]
2466
2467 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2468 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2469 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2470 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2471 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2472 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2473 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2474 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2475 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2476 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2477 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2478 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2479 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2480 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2481 rather than letting it slide.
2482
2483 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2484 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2485 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2486 [Geoff Thorpe]
2487
2488 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2489 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2490 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2491 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2492 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2493 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2494 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2495 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2496 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2497 [Geoff Thorpe]
2498
2499 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2500 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2501 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2502 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2503 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2504
2505 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2506 [Geoff Thorpe]
2507
2508 *) Add EVP test program.
2509 [Ben Laurie]
2510
2511 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2512 [Ben Laurie]
2513
2514 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2515 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2516 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2517 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2518 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2519 [Steve Henson]
2520
2521 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2522 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2523 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2524 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2525 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2526 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2527 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2528
2529 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2530 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2531 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2532 Usage example:
2533
2534 EVP_MD_CTX md;
2535
2536 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2537 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2538 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2539 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2540 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2541
2542 [Ben Laurie]
2543
2544 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2545 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2546 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2547 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2548 anyway): E.g.,
2549
2550 des_key_schedule ks;
2551
2552 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2553 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2554
2555 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2556 [Ben Laurie]
2557
2558 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2559 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2560 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2561 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2562 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2563 functions prevents this.
2564 [Steve Henson]
2565
2566 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2567 [Ben Laurie]
2568
2569 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2570 correct _ecb suffix.
2571 [Ben Laurie]
2572
2573 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2574 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2575 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2576 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2577 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2578 [Steve Henson]
2579
2580 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2581 [Richard Levitte]
2582
2583 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2584 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2585 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2586 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2587
2588 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2589 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2590
2591 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2592 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2593 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2594 via Richard Levitte]
2595
2596 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2597 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2598 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2599 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2600 [Geoff Thorpe]
2601
2602 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2603 Before:
2604 encrypt
2605 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2606 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
2607 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
2608 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
2609 decrypt
2610 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
2611 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
2612 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
2613 After:
2614 encrypt
2615 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
2616 decrypt
2617 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
2618 [Ben Laurie]
2619
2620 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2621 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2622
2623 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2624 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2625 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2626 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2627 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2628 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2629 [Steve Henson]
2630
2631 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2632 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2633 [Richard Levitte]
2634
2635 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2636 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2637 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2638 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2639
2640 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2641 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2642 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2643 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2644 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2645 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2646 callback.
2647 [Richard Levitte]
2648
2649 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2650 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2651 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2652 and interrupts/cancellations.
2653 [Richard Levitte]
2654
2655 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2656 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2657 [Steve Henson]
2658
2659 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2660 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2661 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2662
2663 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2664 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2665 kind of callback.
2666 [Richard Levitte]
2667
2668 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2669 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2670 than this minimum value is recommended.
2671 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2672
2673 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2674 that are easily reachable.
2675 [Richard Levitte]
2676
2677 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2678 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2679
2680 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2681
2682 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2683 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2684 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2685 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2686 [Steve Henson]
2687
2688 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2689 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2690 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2691 [Steve Henson]
2692
2693 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2694 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2695 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2696 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2697 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2698 internally such as S/MIME.
2699
2700 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2701 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2702 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2703
2704 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2705 applications.
2706 [Steve Henson]
2707
2708 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2709 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2710 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2711 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2712
2713 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2714
2715 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2716
2717 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2718 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2719 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2720 handling.
2721 [Steve Henson]
2722
2723 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2724 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2725 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2726 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2727 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2728 a window system and the like.
2729 [Richard Levitte]
2730
2731 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2732 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2733 [Geoff]
2734
2735 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2736 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2737 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2738 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2739 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2740 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2741 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2742 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2743 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2744 ENGINE structure.
2745 [Geoff]
2746
2747 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2748 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2749 tag cache.
2750 [Steve Henson]
2751
2752 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2753 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2754 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2755 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2756 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2757 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2758 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2759 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2760 [Geoff]
2761
2762 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2763 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2764 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2765 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2766 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2767 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2768 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2769 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2770 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2771 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2772 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2773 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2774 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2775 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2776 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2777 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2778 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2779 [Geoff]
2780
2781 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2782 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2783 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2784 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2785 internal engine_int.h header.
2786 [Geoff]
2787
2788 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2789 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2790 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2791 modify their own ones).
2792 [Geoff]
2793
2794 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2795 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2796 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2797 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2798 later on via ctrl() commands.
2799 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2800 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2801 structural references.
2802 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2803 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2804 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2805 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2806 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2807 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2808 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2809 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2810 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2811 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2812 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2813 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2814 [Geoff]
2815
2816 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2817 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2818 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2819 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2820 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2821 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2822 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2823 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2824 [Bodo Moeller]
2825
2826 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2827 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2828 [Steve Henson]
2829
2830 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2831 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2832 [Steve Henson]
2833
2834 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2835 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2836 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2837 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2838 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2839 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2840 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2841 [Steve Henson]
2842
2843 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2844 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2845 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2846 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2847 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2848
2849 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2850 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2851 generator).
2852 [Bodo Moeller]
2853
2854 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2855
2856 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2857 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2858 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2859
2860 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2861 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2862
2863 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2864 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2865 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2866
2867 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2868 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2869
2870 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2871 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2872
2873 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2874
2875 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2876 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2877 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2878 [Bodo Moeller]
2879
2880 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2881 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2882 [Richard Levitte]
2883
2884 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2885 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2886 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2887 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2888 is 40 of more characters long.
2889 [Steve Henson]
2890
2891 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2892 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2893 pointers.
2894 [Steve Henson]
2895
2896 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2897 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2898 [Bodo Moeller]
2899
2900 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2901 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2902 might.
2903 [Steve Henson]
2904
2905 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2906
2907 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2908 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2909
2910 ASN1 error codes
2911 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2912 ...
2913 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2914 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2915 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2916 ...
2917 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2918 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2919
2920 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2921 [Bodo Moeller]
2922
2923 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2924 suffices.
2925 [Bodo Moeller]
2926
2927 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2928 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2929 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2930 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2931 and
2932 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2933
2934 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2935 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2936
2937 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2938 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2939 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2940 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2941 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2942 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2943
2944 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2945 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2946
2947 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2948 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2949
2950 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2951 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2952
2953 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2954 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2955 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2956 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2957
2958 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2959 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2960
2961 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2962 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2963
2964 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2965 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2966 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2967 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2968 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2969 [Richard Levitte]
2970
2971 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2972 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2973 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2974 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2975 [Steve Henson]
2976
2977 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2978 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2979 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2980 trust settings.
2981 [Steve Henson]
2982
2983 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2984 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2985 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2986 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2987 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2988 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2989 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2990 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2991 ocsp utility.
2992 [Steve Henson]
2993
2994 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2995 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2996 [Steve Henson]
2997
2998 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2999 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3000 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3001 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3005 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3006 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3007 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3008 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3009 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3010 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3011 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3012 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3013 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3014 [Steve Henson]
3015
3016 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3017 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3018 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3019 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3020 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3021 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3022 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3023 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3024
3025 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3026 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3027 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3028 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3029 [Richard Levitte]
3030
3031 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3032 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3033 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3034 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3035 opensslconf.h.
3036 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3037 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3038 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3039 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3040 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3041 what is available.
3042 [Richard Levitte]
3043
3044 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3045 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3046 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3047 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3048 auto incremented.
3049 [Steve Henson]
3050
3051 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3052 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3053 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3054 [Steve Henson]
3055
3056 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3057 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3058 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3059 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3060 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3061 [Steve Henson]
3062
3063 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3064 [Steve Henson]
3065
3066 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3067 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3068 option to ocsp utility.
3069 [Steve Henson]
3070
3071 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3072 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3073 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3074 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3075 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3076 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3077 the request is nonce-less.
3078 [Steve Henson]
3079
3080 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3081 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3082 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3083 [Bodo Moeller]
3084
3085 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3086 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3087 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3088 [Steve Henson]
3089
3090 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3091 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3092 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3093 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3094 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3095 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3096
3097 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3098 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3099 appear to exist.
3100 [Steve Henson]
3101
3102 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3103 additional certificates supplied.
3104 [Steve Henson]
3105
3106 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3107 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3108 signature against.
3109 [Richard Levitte]
3110
3111 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3112 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3113 AES OIDs.
3114
3115 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3116 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3117 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3118 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3119 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3120 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3121 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3122 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3123 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3124
3125 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3126 request to response.
3127 [Steve Henson]
3128
3129 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3130 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3131 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3132 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3133 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3134 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3135 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3136 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3137 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3138 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3139 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3140 [Steve Henson]
3141
3142 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3143 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3144 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3145 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3146 [Steve Henson]
3147
3148 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3149 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3150
3151 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3152 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3153 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3154 [Steve Henson]
3155
3156 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3157 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3158 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3159 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3160 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3161
3162 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3163 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3164 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3165 [Steve Henson]
3166
3167 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3168 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3169 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3170 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3171 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3172 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3173 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3174 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3175
3176 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3177 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3178 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3179 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3180 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3181 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3182 [Steve Henson]
3183
3184 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3185 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3186 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3187 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3188 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3189 printout format cleaned up.
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3193 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3194 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3195 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3196 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3197 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3198 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3199 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3200 [Steve Henson]
3201
3202 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3203 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3204 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3205 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3206 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3207 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3208 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3209 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3210 [Steve Henson]
3211
3212 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3213 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3214 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3215 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3216 section to use.
3217 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3218
3219 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3220 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3221 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3222 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3223 [Steve Henson]
3224
3225 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3226 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3227 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3228 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3229 in the index file.
3230 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3231
3232 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3233 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3234 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3235 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3236
3237 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3238 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3239
3240 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3241 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3242 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3243 [Steve Henson]
3244
3245 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3246 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3247 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3248 [Bodo Moeller]
3249
3250 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3251 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3252 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3253 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3254 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3255 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3256 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3257 functions are provided:
3258
3259 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3260 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3261 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3262 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3263
3264 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3265 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3266 extended allocation function is enabled.
3267 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3268 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3269 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3270
3271 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3272 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3273 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3274 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3275 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3276 [Geoff Thorpe]
3277
3278 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3279 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3280 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3281 be queried.
3282 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3283 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3284 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3285 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3286
3287 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3288 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3289 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3290 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3291 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3292 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3293 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3294 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3295 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3296 [Richard Levitte]
3297
3298 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3299 provide utility functions which an application needing
3300 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3301 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3302 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3303
3304 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3305 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3306 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3307 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3308 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3309 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3310 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3311 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3312 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3313
3314 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3315 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3316 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3317 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3318 [Steve Henson]
3319
3320 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3321 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3322 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3323 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3324 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3325 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3326 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3327 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3328 will be added elsewhere.
3329 [Steve Henson]
3330
3331 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3332 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3333 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3334 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3335 [Steve Henson]
3336
3337 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3338 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3339 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3340 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3341 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3342 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3343 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3344 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3345 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3346 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3347 to produce the required SET OF.
3348 [Steve Henson]
3349
3350 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3351 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3352 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3353 [Richard Levitte]
3354
3355 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3356 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3357 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3358 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3359 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3360 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3364 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3365 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3369 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3370 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3371 [Richard Levitte]
3372
3373 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3374 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3375 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3376 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3377 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3378 [Steve Henson]
3379
3380 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3381 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3382 [Steve Henson]
3383
3384 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3385 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3386 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3387 certifcates and CRLs.
3388 [Steve Henson]
3389
3390 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3391 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3392 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3393 [Steve Henson]
3394
3395 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3396 entries for variables.
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3400 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3401 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3402 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3403 [Bodo Moeller]
3404
3405 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3406 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3407 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3408 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3409 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3410 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3411 [Bodo Moeller]
3412
3413 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3414 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3415
3416 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3417 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3418 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3419 [Steve Henson]
3420
3421 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3422 print routines.
3423 [Steve Henson]
3424
3425 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3426 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3427 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3428 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3429 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3430 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3431 [Steve Henson]
3432
3433 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3434 [Steve Henson]
3435
3436 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3437 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3438 for now but they will eventually go away.
3439 [Steve Henson]
3440
3441 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3442 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3443 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3444 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3445 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3446 has also been converted to the new form.
3447 [Steve Henson]
3448
3449 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3450 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3451 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3452 for negative moduli.
3453 [Bodo Moeller]
3454
3455 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3456 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3457 [Bodo Moeller]
3458
3459 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3460 set.
3461 [Bodo Moeller]
3462
3463 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3464 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3465 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3466 type-specific callbacks.
3467 [Geoff Thorpe]
3468
3469 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3470 RFC 2712.
3471 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3472 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3473
3474 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3475 in sections depending on the subject.
3476 [Richard Levitte]
3477
3478 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3479 Windows.
3480 [Richard Levitte]
3481
3482 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3483 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3484 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3485 be handled deterministically).
3486 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3487
3488 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3489 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3490 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3491 [Bodo Moeller]
3492
3493 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3494 [Bodo Moeller]
3495
3496 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3497 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3498 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3499 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3500 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3501 [Bodo Moeller]
3502
3503 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3504 sign of the number in question.
3505
3506 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3507
3508 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3509 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3510 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3511 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3512 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3513 [Bodo Moeller]
3514
3515 *) New function BN_swap.
3516 [Bodo Moeller]
3517
3518 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3519 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3520 results on negative inputs.
3521 [Bodo Moeller]
3522
3523 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3524 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3525 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3526 [Bodo Moeller]
3527
3528 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3529 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3530 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3531 and add new functions:
3532
3533 BN_nnmod
3534 BN_mod_sqr
3535 BN_mod_add
3536 BN_mod_add_quick
3537 BN_mod_sub
3538 BN_mod_sub_quick
3539 BN_mod_lshift1
3540 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3541 BN_mod_lshift
3542 BN_mod_lshift_quick
3543
3544 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3545
3546 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3547 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3548
3549 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3550 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3551 be reduced modulo m.
3552 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3553
3554 #if 0
3555 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3556 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3557 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3558
3559 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3560 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3561 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3562 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3563 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3564 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3565 differing sizes.
3566 [Richard Levitte]
3567 #endif
3568
3569 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3570 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3571 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3572 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3573 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3574
3575 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3576 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3577 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3578 cause any problems.
3579 [Bodo Moeller]
3580
3581 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3582 [Richard Levitte]
3583
3584 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3585 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3586 [Richard Levitte]
3587
3588 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3589 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3590 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3591 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3592 time)
3593 [Richard Levitte]
3594
3595 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3596 [Richard Levitte]
3597
3598 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3599 [Richard Levitte]
3600
3601 *) Add the following functions:
3602
3603 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3604 ENGINE_load_chil()
3605 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3606 ENGINE_load_nuron()
3607 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3608
3609 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3610 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3611 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3612 libraries unless it's really needed.
3613
3614 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3615 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3616 declarations (they differed!).
3617 [Richard Levitte]
3618
3619 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3620 [Richard Levitte]
3621
3622 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3623 [Richard Levitte]
3624
3625 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3626 [Bodo Moeller]
3627
3628 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3629 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3630 [Richard Levitte]
3631
3632 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3633 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3634 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3635
3636 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3637 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3638 [Richard Levitte]
3639
3640 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3641 [Richard Levitte]
3642
3643 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3644 [Richard Levitte]
3645
3646 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3647 [Ben Laurie]
3648
3649 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3650 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3651 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3652
3653 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3654 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3655 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3656 different shared library filenames on each system.
3657 [Geoff Thorpe]
3658
3659 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3660 [Richard Levitte]
3661
3662 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3663 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3664 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3665 of two sections.
3666 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3667
3668 *) NCONF changes.
3669 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3670 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3671 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3672 binary backward compatibility.
3673 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3674 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3675 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3676 LDAP server.
3677 [Richard Levitte]
3678
3679 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3680 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3681 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3682 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3683 this case.
3684 [Steve Henson]
3685
3686 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3687 [Ben Laurie]
3688
3689 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3690 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3691 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3692 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3693 set.
3694 [Steve Henson]
3695
3696 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3697 [Richard Levitte]
3698
3699 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3700
3701 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3702 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3703 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3704
3705 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3706
3707 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3708
3709 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3710 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3711 [Steve Henson]
3712
3713 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3714
3715 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3716
3717 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3718 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3719
3720 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3721 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3722
3723 [Steve Henson]
3724
3725 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3726 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3727 specifications.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3731 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3732 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3733 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3734
3735 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3736 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3737 [Richard Levitte]
3738
3739 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3740
3741 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3742 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3743 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3744 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3745 [Bodo Moeller]
3746
3747 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3748 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3749 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3750 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3751 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3752
3753 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3754 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3755 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3756 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3757 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3758 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3759 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3760 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3761 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3762 [Bodo Moeller]
3763
3764 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3765
3766 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3767 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3768 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3769 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3770 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3771
3772 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3773 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3774 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3775
3776 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3777
3778 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3779 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3780 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3781 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3782 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3783 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3784 [Geoff Thorpe]
3785
3786 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3787 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3788 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3789 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3790 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3791 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3792
3793 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3794 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3795 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3796
3797 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3798 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3799 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3800 EVP_cleanup().
3801 [Richard Levitte]
3802
3803 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3804 being properly terminated.
3805 [Richard Levitte]
3806
3807 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3808 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3809 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3810 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3811
3812 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3813 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3814 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3815 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3816 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3817 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3818 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3819 change.
3820 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3821
3822 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3823 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3824 [Bodo Moeller]
3825
3826 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3827 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3828 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3829 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3830 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3831 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3832 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3833 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3834
3835 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3836 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3837 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3838 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3839 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3840
3841 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3842 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3843 [Steve Henson]
3844
3845 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3846
3847 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3848 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3849 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3850
3851 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3852
3853 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3854 and get fix the header length calculation.
3855 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3856 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3857 Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3860 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3861 assertions could call abort()).
3862 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3863
3864 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3865
3866 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3867 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3868 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3869 supplied buffer.
3870 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3871
3872 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3873 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3874 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3875 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3876
3877 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3878 [Nils Larsch]
3879
3880 *) New option
3881 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3882 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3883 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3884
3885 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3886 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3887 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3888 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3889 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3890 applications.
3891 [Bodo Moeller]
3892
3893 *) Changes in security patch:
3894
3895 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3896 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3897 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3898 F30602-01-2-0537.
3899
3900 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3901 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3902 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3903 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3904 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3905
3906 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3907 happen in practice.
3908 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3909
3910 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3911 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3912 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3913
3914 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3915 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3916 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3917
3918 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3919 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3920 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3921
3922 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3923
3924 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3925 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3926 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3927
3928 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3929 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3930
3931 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3932 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3933 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3934 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3935 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3936 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3937 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3938
3939 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3940 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3941 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3942 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3943 [Bodo Moeller]
3944
3945 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3946 [Bodo Moeller]
3947
3948 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3949 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3950 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3951 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3952 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3953 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3954
3955 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3956 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3957 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3958 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3959 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3960 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3961
3962 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3963 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3964 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3965 BN_generate_prime().)
3966
3967 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3968 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3969 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3970 better.
3971 [Bodo Moeller]
3972
3973 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3974 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3975 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3976
3977 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3978 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3979 when using non-blocking I/O.
3980 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3981
3982 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3983 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3984
3985 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3986 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3987 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3988
3989 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3990 configuration for the versions before that.
3991 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3992
3993 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3994 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3995 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3996 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3997 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3998
3999 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4000 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4001 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4002 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4003
4004 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4005 value is 0.
4006 [Richard Levitte]
4007
4008 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4009 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4010 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4011
4012 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4013 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4014
4015 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4016 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4017 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4018 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4019 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4020 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4021 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4022 session cache.
4023
4024 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4025 using a local variable.
4026 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4027
4028 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4029 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4030 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4031
4032 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4033 [Richard Levitte]
4034
4035 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4036 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4037
4038 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4039 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4040 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4041
4042 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4043
4044 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4045 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4046 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4047 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4048 [Bodo Moeller]
4049
4050 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4051 present.
4052 [Steve Henson]
4053
4054 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4055 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4056 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4057 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4058 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4059
4060 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4061 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4062 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4063
4064 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4065 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4066 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4067
4068 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4069 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4070 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4071 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4072
4073 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4074 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4075 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4076 modules).
4077 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4078
4079 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4080 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4081 from 0.9.7.
4082 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4083
4084 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4085 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4086 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4087 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4088
4089 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4090 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4091 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4092 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4093
4094 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4095 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4096
4097 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4098 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4099 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4100 [Bodo Moeller]
4101
4102 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4103 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4104 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4105 become invalid.
4106 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4107
4108 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4109 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4110 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4111 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4112 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4113 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4114 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4115 [Bodo Moeller]
4116
4117 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4118 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4119 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4120 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4121
4122 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4123 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4124 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4125 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4126 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4127 the client will at least see that alert.
4128 [Bodo Moeller]
4129
4130 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4131 correctly.
4132 [Bodo Moeller]
4133
4134 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4135 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4136 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4137
4138 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4139 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4140 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4141 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4142 HelloRequest.
4143
4144 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4145 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4146 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4147
4148 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4149 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4150 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4151 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4152 may leak via logfiles.)
4153
4154 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4155 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4156 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4157 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4158 the legal range.
4159 [Bodo Moeller]
4160
4161 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4162 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4163 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4164
4165 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4166 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4167 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4168 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4169 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4170 [Bodo Moeller]
4171
4172 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4173 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4174
4175 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4176 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4177 followed by modular reduction.
4178 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4179
4180 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4181 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4182 [Bodo Moeller]
4183
4184 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4185 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4186 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4187 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4188 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4189
4190 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4191 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4192
4193 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4194 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4195 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4196
4197 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4198 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4199 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4200 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4201 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4202 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4203 automatically.
4204 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4205
4206 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4207 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4208 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4209 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4210 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4211
4212 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4213 [Andy Polyakov]
4214
4215 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4216 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4217 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4218 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4219 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4220 to allow the necessary settings.
4221 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4222
4223 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4224 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4225 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4226 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4227 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4228
4229 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4230 dh->length and always used
4231
4232 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4233
4234 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4235 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4236 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4237 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4238 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4239 dh->length.
4240
4241 So switch back to
4242
4243 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4244
4245 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4246 otherwise.
4247 [Bodo Moeller]
4248
4249 *) In
4250
4251 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4252 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4253 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4254 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4255
4256 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4257 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4258 always reject numbers >= n.
4259 [Bodo Moeller]
4260
4261 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4262 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4263 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4264 variable) is not atomic.
4265 [Bodo Moeller]
4266
4267 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4268 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4269 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4270 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4271
4272 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4273 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4274
4275 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4276 little-endian MIPS.
4277 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4278
4279 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4280 [Richard Levitte]
4281
4282 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4283
4284 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4285 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4286 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4287 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4288 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4289 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4290 to traverse all of 'state'.
4291
4292 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4293 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4294 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4295
4296 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4297 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4298
4299 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4300 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4301 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4302 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4303 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4304 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4305 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4306 further strengthens the PRNG.
4307 [Bodo Moeller]
4308
4309 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4310 [Andy Polyakov]
4311
4312 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4313 an error message in this case.
4314 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4315
4316 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4317 [Steve Henson]
4318
4319 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4320 positive and less than q.
4321 [Bodo Moeller]
4322
4323 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4324 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4325 that itself.
4326 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4327
4328 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4329 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4330 [Bodo Moeller]
4331
4332 *) Fix OAEP check.
4333 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4334
4335 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4336 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4337 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4338 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4339 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4340 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4341 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4342 paper.)
4343
4344 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4345 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4346 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4347 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4348
4349 Both problems are now fixed.
4350 [Bodo Moeller]
4351
4352 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4353 (previously it was 1024).
4354 [Bodo Moeller]
4355
4356 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4357 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4358 [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4361 [Steve Henson]
4362
4363 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4364 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4365 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4366 [Steve Henson]
4367
4368 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4369 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4370 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4371 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4372 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4373 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4374 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4375 environment variables.
4376
4377 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4378 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4379 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4380 [Bodo Moeller]
4381
4382 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4383 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4384 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4385 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4386 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4387 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4388 [Bodo Moeller]
4389
4390 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4391 versions of 'test'.
4392 [Bodo Moeller]
4393
4394 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4395
4396 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4397 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4398
4399 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4400 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4401 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4402 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4403 CygWin.
4404 [Richard Levitte]
4405
4406 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4407 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4408 amount of data available.
4409 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4410 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4411
4412 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4413 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4414 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4415 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4416 [Bodo Moeller]
4417
4418 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4419 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4420 and UnixWare.
4421 [Richard Levitte]
4422
4423 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4424 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4425 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4426 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4427 [Ulf Moeller]
4428
4429 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4430 [Andy Polyakov]
4431
4432 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4433 [Richard Levitte]
4434
4435 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4436 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4437 [Steve Henson]
4438 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4439
4440 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4441 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4442 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4443 (but broken) behaviour.
4444 [Steve Henson]
4445
4446 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4447 it when found.
4448 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4449
4450 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4451 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4452 [Bodo Moeller]
4453
4454 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4455 did not exist.
4456 [Bodo Moeller]
4457
4458 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4459 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4460
4461 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4462 [Richard Levitte]
4463
4464 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4465 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4466 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4467
4468 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4469 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4470 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4471 [Steve Henson]
4472
4473 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4474 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4475 [Ulf Moeller]
4476
4477 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4478 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4479
4480 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4481
4482 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4483
4484 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4485 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4486 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4487 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4488 [Bodo Moeller]
4489
4490 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4491 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4492
4493 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4494 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4495 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4496
4497 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4498 was empty.
4499 [Steve Henson]
4500 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4501
4502 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4503 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4504 but the code is actually correct.
4505 [Steve Henson]
4506
4507 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4508 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4509 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4510 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4511 and leaves the highest bit random.
4512 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4513
4514 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4515 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4516 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4517 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4518 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4519 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4520 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4521 [Bodo Moeller]
4522
4523 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4524 [Ulf Moeller]
4525
4526 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4527 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4528 [Steve Henson]
4529
4530 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4531 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4532 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4533 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4534 headers.
4535 [Richard Levitte]
4536
4537 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4538 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4539 and break the signature.
4540 [Steve Henson]
4541 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4542
4543 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4544 DH ciphersuites.
4545 [Steve Henson]
4546
4547 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4548 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4549 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4550 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4551 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4552 [Bodo Moeller]
4553
4554 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4555 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4556
4557 *) ./config script fixes.
4558 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4559
4560 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4561 [Bodo Moeller]
4562
4563 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4564 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4565 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4566 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4567 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4568
4569 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4570 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4571 [Bodo Moeller]
4572
4573 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4574 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4575 [Steve Henson]
4576
4577 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4578 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4579 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4580 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4581
4582 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4583 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4584
4585 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4586 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4587 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4588 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4589 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4590
4591 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4592 [Bodo Moeller]
4593
4594 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4595 [Ulf Möller]
4596
4597 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4598 [Ulf Möller]
4599
4600 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4601 [Bodo Moeller]
4602
4603 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4604 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4605 [Bodo Moeller]
4606
4607 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4608 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4609 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4610 result of the server certificate verification.)
4611 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4612
4613 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4614 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4615 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4616 [Bodo Moeller]
4617
4618 *) Fix SSL_peek:
4619 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4620 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4621 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4622 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4623 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4624 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4625 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4626 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4627 [Bodo Moeller]
4628
4629 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4630 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4631 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4632 happening the other way round.
4633 [Geoff Thorpe]
4634
4635 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4636 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4637 [Bodo Moeller]
4638
4639 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4640 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4641 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4642 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4643 [Richard Levitte]
4644
4645 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4646 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4647
4648 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4649
4650 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4651 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4652 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4653 that.
4654
4655 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4656
4657 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4658
4659 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4660 static ones.
4661 [Richard Levitte]
4662
4663 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4664
4665 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4666 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4667 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4668 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4669 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4670
4671 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4672 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4673 matter what.
4674 [Richard Levitte]
4675
4676 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4677 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4678
4679 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4680
4681 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4682 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4683 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4684 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4685 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4686 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4687 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4688 by the Finished messages.
4689 [Bodo Moeller]
4690
4691 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4692 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4693
4694 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4695 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4696 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4697 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4698 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4699 appropriately.
4700 [Steve Henson]
4701
4702 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4703 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4704 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4705 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4706 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4707 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4708 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4709 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4710 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4711 together.
4712 [Steve Henson]
4713
4714 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4715 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4716 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4717 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4718
4719 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4720 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4721 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4722 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4723 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4724 the answer.
4725
4726 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4727 been tested well enough.
4728 [Richard Levitte]
4729
4730 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4731 it can return incorrect results.
4732 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4733 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4734 [Bodo Moeller]
4735
4736 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4737 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4738 include zero length content when signing messages.
4739 [Steve Henson]
4740
4741 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4742 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4743 [Bodo Möller]
4744
4745 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4746 [Richard Levitte]
4747
4748 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4749 wrong sign.
4750 [Ulf Möller]
4751
4752 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4753 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4754 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4755 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4756 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4757 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4758 [Richard Levitte]
4759
4760 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4761 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4762
4763 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4764 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4765
4766 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4767 random number < q in the DSA library.
4768 [Ulf Möller]
4769
4770 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4771 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4772 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4773 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4774 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4775 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4776 just makes things more complicated.)
4777 [Bodo Moeller]
4778
4779 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4780 from EGD.
4781 [Ben Laurie]
4782
4783 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4784 work better on such systems.
4785 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4786
4787 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4788 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4789 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4790 [Steve Henson]
4791
4792 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4793 if there was more than one signature.
4794 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4795
4796 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4797 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4798 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4799 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4800 [Richard Levitte]
4801
4802 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4803 rather than always using the current time.
4804 [Steve Henson]
4805
4806 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4807 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4808 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4809 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4810 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4811 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4812
4813 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4814 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4815
4816 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4817
4818 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4819 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4820 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4821 the same hash value.
4822
4823 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4824 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4825 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4826 with X509_STORE internally.
4827
4828 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4829 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4830
4831 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4832 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4833 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4834 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4835 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4836 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4837 entirely (maybe later...).
4838
4839 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4840
4841 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4842 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4843 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4844 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4845 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4846 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4847 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4848 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4849
4850 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4851 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4852
4853 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4854 to customise the verify behaviour.
4855 [Steve Henson]
4856
4857 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4858 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4859 [Steve Henson]
4860
4861 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4862 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4863 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4864 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4865 request is improperly encoded.
4866 [Steve Henson]
4867
4868 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4869 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4870 BIO_write(b, ...).
4871
4872 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4873 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4874
4875 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4876 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4877 words set to zero.)
4878 [Bodo Moeller]
4879
4880 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4881 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4882 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4883 [Bodo Moeller]
4884
4885 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4886 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4887 BIO/fp routines also added.
4888 [Steve Henson]
4889
4890 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4891 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4892
4893 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4894 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4895 demos/state_machine.
4896 [Ben Laurie]
4897
4898 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4899 generation and verification.
4900 [Steve Henson]
4901
4902 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4903 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4904 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4905 encode and decode it manually.
4906 [Steve Henson]
4907
4908 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4909 compile under VC++.
4910 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4911
4912 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4913 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4914 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4915 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4916
4917 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4918 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4919 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4920 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4921 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4922 [Steve Henson]
4923
4924 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4925 [Richard Levitte]
4926
4927 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4928 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4929 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4930
4931 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4932 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4933 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4934 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4935 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4936 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4937 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4938 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4939
4940 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4941 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4942
4943 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4944
4945 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4946 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4947 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4948
4949 [Richard Levitte]
4950
4951 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4952 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4953 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4954 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4955 [Richard Levitte]
4956
4957 *) MD4 implemented.
4958 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4959
4960 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4961 [Richard Levitte]
4962
4963 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4964 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4965 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4966 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4967 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4968 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4969 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4970 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4971 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4972 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4973 short or long names are found.
4974 [Steve Henson]
4975
4976 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4977 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4978
4979 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4980 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4981 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4982 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4983
4984 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4985 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4986 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4987 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4988 [Bodo Moeller]
4989
4990 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4991 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4992 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4993 [Richard Levitte]
4994
4995 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4996 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4997 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4998 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4999 to allow the various flags to be set.
5000 [Steve Henson]
5001
5002 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5003 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5004 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5005 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5006 dates to be checked.
5007 [Steve Henson]
5008
5009 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5010 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5011 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5012 [Steve Henson]
5013
5014 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5015 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5016 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5020 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5021 [Bodo Moeller]
5022
5023 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5024 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5025 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5026 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5027 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5028 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5029 [Richard Levitte]
5030
5031 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5032 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5033 Random Numbers.
5034 [Ulf Möller]
5035
5036 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5037 DSA key.
5038 [Steve Henson]
5039
5040 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5041 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5042 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5043 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5044 form signing output easier to verify.
5045 [Steve Henson]
5046
5047 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5048 [Steve Henson]
5049
5050 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5051 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5052 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5053 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5054 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5055 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5056 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5057 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5058 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5059 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5060 [Steve Henson]
5061
5062 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5063
5064 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5065 the syntax given in objects.README.
5066 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5067 obj_mac.h.
5068 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5069 obj_mac.h.
5070
5071 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5072 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5073 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5074 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5075 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5076 consistent name changes.
5077 [Richard Levitte]
5078
5079 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5080 [Bodo Moeller]
5081
5082 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5083 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5084 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5085 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5086 [Richard Levitte]
5087
5088 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5089 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5090 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5091 of safestack.h .
5092 [Steve Henson]
5093
5094 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5095 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5096 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5097 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5098 [Steve Henson]
5099
5100 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5101 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5102 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5103 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5104 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5105 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5106 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5107 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5108 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5109 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5110 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5111 [Steve Henson]
5112
5113 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5114 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5115 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5116 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5117 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5118 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5119 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5120 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5121 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5122 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5123 [Steve Henson]
5124
5125 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5126 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5127 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5128 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5129
5130 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5131 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5132 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5133 omit any duplicate addresses.
5134 [Steve Henson]
5135
5136 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5137 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5138 [Bodo Moeller]
5139
5140 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5141 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5142 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5143 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5144 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5145 [Bodo Moeller]
5146
5147 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5148 software:
5149 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5150 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5151 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5152 Free => OPENSSL_free
5153 [Richard Levitte]
5154
5155 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5156 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5157 [Bodo Moeller]
5158
5159 *) CygWin32 support.
5160 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5161
5162 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5163 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5164 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5165 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5166 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5167 approach.
5168 [Geoff Thorpe]
5169
5170 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5171 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5172 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5173 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5174 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5175 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5176 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5177 [Geoff Thorpe]
5178
5179 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5180 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5181 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5182 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5183 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5184 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5185 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5186 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5187 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5188 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5189 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5190 [Bodo Moeller]
5191
5192 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5193 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5194 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5195 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5196 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5197
5198 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5199 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5200 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5201 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5202 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5203
5204 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5205 ciphers.
5206
5207 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5208 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5209 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5210 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5211
5212 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5213
5214 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5215 of macros.
5216
5217 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5218 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5219 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5220 flags.
5221
5222 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5223 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5224 any installed hardware versions can.
5225 [Steve Henson]
5226
5227 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5228 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5229 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5230 number.
5231 [Bodo Moeller]
5232
5233 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5234 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5235 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5236 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5237 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5238
5239 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5240 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5241 [Steve Henson]
5242
5243 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5244 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5245 [Richard Levitte]
5246
5247 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5248 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5249 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5250 features.
5251 [Steve Henson]
5252
5253 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5254 [Ulf Möller]
5255
5256 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5257 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5258 but no ssl client purpose.
5259 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5260
5261 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5262 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5263 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5264 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5265 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5266 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5267 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5268 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5269 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5270 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5271 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5272 [Steve Henson]
5273
5274 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5275 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5276 be obtained from the error queue.
5277 [Bodo Moeller]
5278
5279 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5280 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5281 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5282 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5283 [Bodo Moeller]
5284
5285 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5286 [Ulf Möller]
5287
5288 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5289 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5290 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5291 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5292 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5293 [Geoff Thorpe]
5294
5295 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5296 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5297 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5298 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5299 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5300 [Geoff Thorpe]
5301
5302 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5303 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5304 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5305 may not be NULL.
5306 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5307
5308 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5309 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5310 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5311 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5312 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5313 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5314 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5315 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5316 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5317 or "the configuration storage API"...
5318
5319 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5320
5321 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5322 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5323
5324 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5325
5326 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5327
5328 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5329 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5330 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5331 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5332 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5333 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5334 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5335
5336 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5337 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5338 [Richard Levitte]
5339
5340 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5341 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5342 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5343 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5344 [Bodo Moeller]
5345
5346 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5347 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5348 them in a portable way.
5349 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5350
5351 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5352
5353 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5354
5355 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5356 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5357
5358 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5359 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5360 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5361 <attili@amaxo.com>]
5362
5363 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5364 was larger than the MD block size.
5365 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5366
5367 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5368 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5369 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5370 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5371 components.
5372 [Steve Henson]
5373
5374 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5375 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5376 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5377
5378 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5379 discouraged.
5380 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5381
5382 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5383 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5384 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5385 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5386 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5387 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5388
5389 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5390 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5391
5392 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5393 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5394 [Bodo Moeller]
5395
5396 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5397 [Bodo Moeller]
5398
5399 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5400 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5401 its own key.
5402 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5403 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5404 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5405 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5406 [Bodo Moeller]
5407
5408 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5409 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5410 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5411 does not suppress any output.
5412 [Richard Levitte]
5413
5414 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5415 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5416 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5417 with all the associated security issues.
5418
5419 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5420 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5421 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5422 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5423 use the value in the default purpose.
5424 [Steve Henson]
5425
5426 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5427 and fix a memory leak.
5428 [Steve Henson]
5429
5430 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5431 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5432 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5433 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5434 [Bodo Moeller]
5435
5436 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5437 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5438 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5439 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5440 [Bodo Moeller]
5441
5442 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5443 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5444 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5445 [Bodo Moeller]
5446
5447 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5448 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5449 [Bodo Moeller]
5450
5451 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5452 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5453 which was free.
5454 [Steve Henson]
5455
5456 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5457 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5458 [Bodo Moeller]
5459
5460 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5461 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5462 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5463 [Bodo Moeller]
5464
5465 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5466 number generation fails.
5467 [Bodo Moeller]
5468
5469 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5470 [Bodo Moeller]
5471
5472 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5473 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5474
5475 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5476 [Ulf Möller]
5477
5478 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5479 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5480
5481 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5482 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5483
5484 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5485
5486 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5487 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5488 [Steve Henson]
5489
5490 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5491 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5492
5493 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5494 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5495 [Ulf Möller]
5496
5497 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5498 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5499 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5500 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5501 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5502 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5503
5504 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5505 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5506 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5507 for example.
5508 [Steve Henson]
5509
5510 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5511 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5512 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5513 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5514 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5515 counter, some don't.)
5516 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5517 counters or duplicate objects.
5518 [Steve Henson]
5519
5520 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5521 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5522 [Steve Henson]
5523
5524 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5525 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5526 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5527
5528 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5529 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5530 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5531 or -rand.
5532 [Ulf Möller]
5533
5534 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5535 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5536 [Steve Henson]
5537
5538 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5539 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5540 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5541 cipher list.
5542 [Steve Henson]
5543
5544 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5545 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5546 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5547 [Steve Henson]
5548
5549 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5550 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5551 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5552 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5553 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5554 should work without changes.
5555 [Richard Levitte]
5556
5557 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5558 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5559 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5560 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5561 must be defined. E.g.,
5562 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5563 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5564 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5565 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5566
5567 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5568 record layer.
5569 [Bodo Moeller]
5570
5571 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5572 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5573 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5574 [Steve Henson]
5575
5576 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5577 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5578 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5579 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5580 [Steve Henson]
5581
5582 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5583 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5584 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5585 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5586 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5587 is prompted for as usual.
5588 [Steve Henson]
5589
5590 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5591 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5592 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5593 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5594
5595 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5596 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5597 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5598 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5599 [Steve Henson]
5600
5601 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5602 [Andy Polyakov]
5603
5604 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5605 of seed file.
5606 [Steve Henson]
5607
5608 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5609 [Bodo Moeller]
5610
5611 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5612 [Steve Henson]
5613
5614 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5615 bits.
5616 [Ulf Möller]
5617
5618 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5619 [Ulf Möller]
5620
5621 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5622 [Andy Polyakov]
5623
5624 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5625 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5626 [Ulf Möller]
5627
5628 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5629 options to produce them.
5630 [Steve Henson]
5631
5632 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5633 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5634 [Ulf Möller]
5635
5636 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5637 for p == 0.
5638 [Ulf Möller]
5639
5640 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5641 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5642 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5643 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5644 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5645 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5646 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5647 [Steve Henson]
5648
5649 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5650 [Steve Henson]
5651
5652 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5653 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5654 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5655 [Bodo Moeller]
5656
5657 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5658 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5659
5660 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5661 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5662 [Ulf Möller]
5663
5664 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5665 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5666 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5667 has already seen).
5668 [Bodo Moeller]
5669
5670 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5671 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5672
5673 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5674 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5675 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5676 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5677 generation becomes much faster.
5678
5679 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5680 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5681 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5682 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5683 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5684 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5685 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5686 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5687 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5688 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5689 [Bodo Moeller]
5690
5691 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5692 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5693 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5694 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5695 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5696 trial division stage.
5697 [Bodo Moeller]
5698
5699 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5700 as ASN1_TIME.
5701 [Steve Henson]
5702
5703 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5704 [Steve Henson]
5705
5706 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5707 [Ulf Möller]
5708
5709 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5710 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5711 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5712 the comments.
5713 [Ulf Möller]
5714
5715 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5716 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5717 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5718 [Bodo Moeller]
5719
5720 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5721 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5722 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5723 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5724
5725 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5726 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5727 [Steve Henson]
5728
5729 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5730 [Ulf Möller]
5731
5732 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5733 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5734 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5735 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5736 [Ulf Möller]
5737
5738 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5739 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5740 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5741 [Ulf Möller]
5742
5743 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5744 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5745 (instead of parameters) in future.
5746 [Steve Henson]
5747
5748 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5749 when a new cipher list is set.
5750 [Steve Henson]
5751
5752 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5753 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5754 wrong.
5755
5756 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5757 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5758 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5759
5760 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5761 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5762 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5763 an error is flagged.
5764
5765 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5766 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5767 the readability was also increased :-)
5768 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5769
5770 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5771 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5772 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5773 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5774 as the root CA.
5775 [Steve Henson]
5776
5777 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5778 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5779 [Steve Henson]
5780
5781 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5782 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5783 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5784 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5785 instead.
5786
5787 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5788 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5789 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5790 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5791 because they handle more complex structures.)
5792 [Steve Henson]
5793
5794 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5795 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5796 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5797 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5798
5799 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5800 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5801 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5802 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5803 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5804 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5805 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5806 [Ulf Möller]
5807
5808 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5809 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5810 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5811 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5812 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5813 [Bodo Moeller]
5814
5815 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5816 [Bodo Moeller]
5817
5818 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5819 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5820 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5821 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5822 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5823 to use this.
5824
5825 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5826 code.
5827 [Steve Henson]
5828
5829 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5830 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5831 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5832 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5833 [Steve Henson]
5834
5835 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5836 [Ulf Möller]
5837
5838 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5839 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5840 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5841 international characters are used.
5842
5843 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5844 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5845 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5846 in ASN1 order.
5847 [Steve Henson]
5848
5849 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5850 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5851 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5852 request.
5853
5854 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5855 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5856 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5857 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5858 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5859 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5860
5861 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5862 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5863 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5864 be handled by the string table functions.
5865
5866 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5867 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5868 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5869 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5870 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5871 types at all.
5872 [Steve Henson]
5873
5874 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5875 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5876 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5877 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5878 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5879
5880 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5881 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5882 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5883 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5884 [Bodo Moeller]
5885
5886 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5887 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5888 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5889 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5890 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5891 SHA1.
5892 [Andy Polyakov]
5893
5894 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5895 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5896 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5897 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5898 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5899 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5900 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5901 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5902
5903 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5904 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5905 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5906 [Steve Henson]
5907
5908 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5909 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5910 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5911 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5912 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5913 support to pkcs8 application.
5914 [Steve Henson]
5915
5916 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5917 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5918 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5919 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5920 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5921 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5922 [Bodo Moeller]
5923
5924 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5925 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5926 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5927 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5928 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5929 consistency.
5930 [Bodo Moeller]
5931
5932 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5933 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5934 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5935 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5936 example.
5937 [Steve Henson]
5938
5939 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5940 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5941 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5942 and any application specific purposes.
5943
5944 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5945 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5946 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5947 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5948 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5949 if the certificate is self signed.
5950 [Steve Henson]
5951
5952 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5953 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5954 [Steve Henson]
5955
5956 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5957 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5958 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5959 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5960 [Steve Henson]
5961
5962 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5963 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5964 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5965 Update documentation.
5966 [Steve Henson]
5967
5968 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5969 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5970 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5971 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5972 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5973 [Steve Henson]
5974
5975 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5976 for details.
5977 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5978
5979 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5980 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5981 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5982 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5983 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5984 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5985 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5986 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5987 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5988 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5989
5990 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5991
5992 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5993 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5994 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5995 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5996 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5997
5998 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5999 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6000 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6001 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6002 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6003 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6004 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6005 request additional information:
6006 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6007 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6008
6009 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6010 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6011 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6012 options.
6013
6014 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6015 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6016
6017 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6018 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6019 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6020
6021 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6022 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6023
6024 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6025 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6026 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6027 algorithm.
6028 [Steve Henson]
6029
6030 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6031 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6032 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6033
6034 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6035 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6036 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6037 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6038 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6039 included in OpenSSL.
6040 [Steve Henson]
6041
6042 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6043 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6044 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6045 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6046 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6047 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6048 [Bodo Moeller]
6049
6050 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6051 PKCS12 structure.
6052 [Steve Henson]
6053
6054 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6055 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6056 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6057 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6058 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6059 structure.
6060 [Steve Henson]
6061
6062 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6063 need initialising.
6064 [Steve Henson]
6065
6066 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6067 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6068 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6069 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6070 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6071 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6072 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6073 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6074 be maintained manually.
6075
6076 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6077 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6078 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6079 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6080 work because people forget to call this function]
6081 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6082 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6083 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6084 [Steve Henson]
6085
6086 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6087 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6088 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6089 should be discouraged from doing it.
6090 [Ben Laurie]
6091
6092 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6093 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6094 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6095 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6096 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6097 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6098 [Steve Henson]
6099
6100 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6101 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6102 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6103
6104 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6105 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6106 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6107
6108 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6109 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6110 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6111 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6112 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6113 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6114
6115 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6116 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6117 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6118
6119 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6120 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6121 and vice versa.
6122
6123 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6124 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6125 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6126 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6127 [Steve Henson]
6128
6129 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6130 [Steve Henson]
6131
6132 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6133 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6134 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6135 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6136 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6137 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6138 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6139 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6140 keys so we should be OK.
6141
6142 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6143 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6144 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6145 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6146 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6147 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6148 stay in the name of compatibility.
6149
6150 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6151 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6152 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6153
6154 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6155 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6156 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6157 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6158 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6159 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6160 supplied key).
6161 [Steve Henson]
6162
6163 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6164 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6165 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6166 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6167 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6168 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6169 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6170 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6171 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6172 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6173 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6174 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6175 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6176 [Steve Henson]
6177
6178 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6179 [Steve Henson]
6180
6181 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6182 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6183 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6184 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6185 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6186 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6187 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6188 openssl verify ss.pem
6189 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6190 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6191 is OK.
6192 [Steve Henson]
6193
6194 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6195 (and add it to external session representation).
6196 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6197 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6198 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6199 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6200 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6201 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6202 security holes.
6203 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6204
6205 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6206 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6207 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6208 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6209
6210 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6211 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6212 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6213 [Steve Henson]
6214
6215 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6216 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6217 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6218 code.
6219 [Steve Henson]
6220
6221 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6222 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6223 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6224
6225 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6226 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6227 certificate auxiliary information.
6228 [Steve Henson]
6229
6230 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6231 the 'enc' command.
6232 [Steve Henson]
6233
6234 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6235 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6236 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6237 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6238 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6239 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6240 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6241 [Richard Levitte]
6242
6243 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6244 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6245 [Steve Henson]
6246
6247 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6248 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6249 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6250 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6251 [Steve Henson]
6252
6253 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6254 [Steve Henson]
6255
6256 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6257 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6258 [Steve Henson]
6259
6260 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6261 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6262 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6263 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6264 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6265 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6266 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6267 using the new 'x509' options.
6268
6269 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6270 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6271 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6272 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6273 for all purposes.
6274 [Steve Henson]
6275
6276 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6277 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6278 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6279 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6280 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6281 [Mark Cox]
6282
6283 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6284 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6285 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6286 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6287 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6288 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6289 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6290 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6291 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6292 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6293 [Steve Henson]
6294
6295 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6296 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6297 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6298 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6299 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6300 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6301 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6302 [Steve Henson]
6303
6304 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6305 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6306 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6307 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6308 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6309 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6310 openssl.cnf for more info.
6311 [Steve Henson]
6312
6313 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6314 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6315 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6316 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6317 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6318 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6319 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6320 md should be large enough anyway.
6321 [Bodo Moeller]
6322
6323 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6324 for handling the random seed file.
6325
6326 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6327 ca,
6328 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6329 s_client,
6330 s_server,
6331 x509 (when signing).
6332 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6333 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6334 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6335
6336 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6337 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6338 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6339 that support '-rand'.
6340 [Bodo Moeller]
6341
6342 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6343 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6344 [Bodo Moeller]
6345
6346 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6347 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6348 [Bill Perry]
6349
6350 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6351 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6352 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6353 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6354 is suitable.
6355 [Steve Henson]
6356
6357 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6358 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6359 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6360 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6361 [Steve Henson]
6362
6363 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6364 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6365 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6366 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6367 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6368 print out all the purposes.
6369 [Steve Henson]
6370
6371 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6372 functions.
6373 [Steve Henson]
6374
6375 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6376 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6377 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6378 single function call.
6379 [Steve Henson]
6380
6381 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6382 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6383 [Andy Polyakov]
6384
6385 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6386 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6387 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6388 [Steve Henson]
6389
6390 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6391 when producing the local key id.
6392 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6393
6394 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6395 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6396 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6397 "server.pem".
6398 [Steve Henson]
6399
6400 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6401 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6402 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6403 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6404 [Steve Henson]
6405
6406 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6407 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6408 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6409 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6410
6411 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6412 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6413 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6414 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6415
6416 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6417 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6418 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6419 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6420 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6421 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6422 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6423 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6424 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6425 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6426 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6427 trivial: move one line.
6428 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6429
6430 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6431 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6432 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6433 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6434 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6435 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6436 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6437 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6438 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6439 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6440 with an event loop for example.
6441 [Steve Henson]
6442
6443 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6444 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6445 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6446 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6447 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6448 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6449 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6450 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6451 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6452 [Steve Henson]
6453
6454 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6455 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6456 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6457 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6458 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6459 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6460 [Steve Henson]
6461
6462 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6463 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6464 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6465 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6466
6467 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6468 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6469 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6470 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6471 key generation.
6472 [Steve Henson]
6473
6474 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6475 (still largely untested)
6476 [Bodo Moeller]
6477
6478 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6479 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6480 [Steve Henson]
6481
6482 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6483 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6484 [Steve Henson]
6485
6486 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6487 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6488 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6489 [Bodo Moeller]
6490
6491 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6492 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6493 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6494 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6495 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6496 [Steve Henson]
6497
6498 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6499 [Andy Polyakov]
6500
6501 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6502 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6503 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6504 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6505 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6506 in ca.
6507 [Steve Henson]
6508
6509 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6510 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6511 1.OU="Unit name 1"
6512 2.OU="Unit name 2"
6513 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6514 [Steve Henson]
6515
6516 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6517 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6518 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6519 are otherwise ignored at present.
6520 [Steve Henson]
6521
6522 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6523 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6524 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6525 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6526 copied until the next read.
6527 [Steve Henson]
6528
6529 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6530 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6531 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6532 [Steve Henson]
6533
6534 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6535 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6536 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6537 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6538 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6539 associated functions.
6540 [Steve Henson]
6541
6542 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6543 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6544 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6545 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6546 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6547 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6548 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6549 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6550 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6551 memory BIOs.
6552 [Steve Henson]
6553
6554 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6555 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6556 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6557 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6558 [Bodo Moeller]
6559
6560 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6561 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6562 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6563 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6564 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6565 functionality.
6566 [Steve Henson]
6567
6568 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6569 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6570 under Win32.
6571 [Steve Henson]
6572
6573 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6574 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6575 extensions to be obtained and added.
6576 [Steve Henson]
6577
6578 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6579 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6580 [Bodo Moeller]
6581
6582 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6583
6584 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6585 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6586
6587 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6588 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6589
6590 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6591 program.
6592 [Steve Henson]
6593
6594 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6595 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6596 DH parameters contain its length).
6597
6598 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6599 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6600 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6601 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6602 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6603 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6604 utter importance to use
6605 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6606 or
6607 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6608 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6609 attacks may become possible!
6610 [Bodo Moeller]
6611
6612 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6613 [Bodo Moeller]
6614
6615 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6616 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6617 [Steve Henson]
6618
6619 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6620 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6621 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6622 or long name.
6623 [Steve Henson]
6624
6625 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6626 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6627 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6628 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6629 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6630 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6631 private key operations.
6632 [Steve Henson]
6633
6634 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6635 [Andy Polyakov]
6636
6637 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6638 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6639 to
6640 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6641 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6642 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6643 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6644 the password callback is called.
6645 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6646
6647 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6648
6649 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6650 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6651 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6652 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6653 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6654 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6655 this will work.
6656
6657 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6658 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6659 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6660 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6661 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6662 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6663 [Bodo Moeller]
6664
6665 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6666 [Andy Polyakov]
6667
6668 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6669 delete an unused file.
6670 [Ulf Möller]
6671
6672 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6673 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6674 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6675 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6676 [Steve Henson]
6677
6678 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6679 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6680 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6681 of an error.
6682 [Bodo Moeller]
6683
6684 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6685 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6686 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6687
6688 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6689 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6690 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6691 comparison" warnings.
6692 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6693 [Steve Henson]
6694
6695 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6696 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6697 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6698 [Steve Henson]
6699
6700 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6701 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6702
6703 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6704 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6705
6706 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6707 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6708 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6709
6710 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6711 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6712 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6713 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6714 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6715 this bug.
6716 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6717
6718 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6719 The interface is as follows:
6720 Applications can use
6721 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6722 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6723 "off" is now the default.
6724 The library internally uses
6725 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6726 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6727 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6728
6729 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6730 even the default) are now avoided.
6731
6732 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6733 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6734 than just having a counter.
6735
6736 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6737
6738 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6739 extensions.
6740 [Bodo Moeller]
6741
6742 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6743 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6744 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6745 Initial "mode" flags are:
6746
6747 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6748 a single record has been written.
6749 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6750 retries use the same buffer location.
6751 (But all of the contents must be
6752 copied!)
6753 [Bodo Moeller]
6754
6755 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6756 worked.
6757
6758 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6759 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6760
6761 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6762 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6763 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6764 [Steve Henson]
6765
6766 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6767 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6768 test programs.
6769 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6770
6771 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6772 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6773 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6774 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6775 point to the end.
6776 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6777 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6778
6779 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6780 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6781 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6782 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6783 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6784 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6785 [Steve Henson]
6786
6787 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6788 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6789 necessary function names.
6790 [Steve Henson]
6791
6792 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6793 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6794 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6795 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6796 [Bodo Moeller]
6797
6798 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6799 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6800 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6801 [Steve Henson]
6802
6803 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6804 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6805 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6806 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6807 such programs?)
6808 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6809 need locks.
6810 [Bodo Moeller]
6811
6812 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6813 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6814 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6815 [Bodo Moeller]
6816
6817 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6818 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6819 appropriate.
6820 [Bodo Moeller]
6821
6822 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6823 for the encoded length.
6824 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6825
6826 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6827 [Steve Henson]
6828
6829 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6830 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6831 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6832 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6833 [Steve Henson]
6834
6835 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6836 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6837 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6838
6839 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6840 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6841 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6842 unusual formatting.
6843 [Steve Henson]
6844
6845 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6846 to use the new extension code.
6847 [Steve Henson]
6848
6849 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6850 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6851 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6852 constant.
6853 [Steve Henson]
6854
6855 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6856 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6857 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6858 [Bodo Moeller]
6859
6860 #if 0
6861 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6862 [Ben Laurie]
6863 #else
6864 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6865 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6866 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6867 #endif
6868
6869 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6870 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6871 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6872 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6873 [Ben Laurie]
6874
6875 *) DES library cleanups.
6876 [Ulf Möller]
6877
6878 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6879 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6880 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6881 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6882 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6883 of v2.0.
6884 [Steve Henson]
6885
6886 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6887 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6888 [Bodo Moeller]
6889
6890 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6891 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6892 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6893 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6894 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6895 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6896 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6897 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6898 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6899 [Steve Henson]
6900
6901 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6902 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6903 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6904 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6905 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6906 value doesn't matter.
6907 [Steve Henson]
6908
6909 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6910 support mutable.
6911 [Ben Laurie]
6912
6913 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6914 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6915 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6916 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6917
6918 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6919 [Ulf Möller]
6920
6921 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6922 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6923 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6924
6925 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6926 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6927
6928 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6929 [Ben Laurie]
6930
6931 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6932 [Ben Laurie]
6933
6934 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6935 [Ben Laurie]
6936
6937 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6938 [Bodo Moeller]
6939
6940
6941 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6942
6943 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6944
6945 *) Updated some demos.
6946 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6947
6948 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6949 [Wu Zhigang]
6950
6951 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6952 [Steve Henson]
6953
6954 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6955 [Steve Henson]
6956
6957 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6958 instead of using a fixed path.
6959 [Bodo Moeller]
6960
6961 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6962 [Andy Polyakov]
6963
6964 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6965 [Richard Levitte]
6966
6967
6968 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6969
6970 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6971 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6972 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6973
6974 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6975 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6976 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6977 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6978 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6979 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6980 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6981 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6982 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6983 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6984 [Steve Henson]
6985
6986 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6987 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6988 [Steve Henson]
6989
6990 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6991 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6992 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6993 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6994 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6995
6996 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6997 [Bodo Moeller]
6998
6999 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7000 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7001 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7002 [Steve Henson]
7003
7004 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7005 [Ben Laurie]
7006
7007 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7008 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7009 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7010 key elements as negative integers.
7011 [Steve Henson]
7012
7013 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7014 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7015
7016 *) VMS support.
7017 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7018
7019 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7020 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7021 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7022 [Steve Henson]
7023
7024 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7025 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7026 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7027 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7028 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7029 [Bodo Moeller]
7030
7031 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7032 [Ulf Möller]
7033
7034 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7035 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7036 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7038
7039 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7040 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7041 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7042
7043 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7044 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7045 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7046 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7047 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7048 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7049 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7050 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7051 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7052
7053 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7054 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7055 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7056 does not influence s as it used to.
7057
7058 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7059 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7060 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7061 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7062 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7063 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7064 [Bodo Moeller]
7065
7066 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7067 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7068 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7069 key type.
7070 [Steve Henson]
7071
7072 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7073 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7074 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7075 and 'x509').
7076 [Steve Henson]
7077
7078 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7079 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7080 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7081 extension option.
7082 [Steve Henson]
7083
7084 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7085 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7086 [Ben Laurie]
7087
7088 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7089 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7090
7091 *) Support Mingw32.
7092 [Ulf Möller]
7093
7094 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7095 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7096
7097 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7098 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7099
7100 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7101 [Ulf Möller]
7102
7103 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7104 [Anonymous]
7105
7106 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7107 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7108
7109 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7110 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7111 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7112 DER-encoded.)
7113 [Bodo Moeller]
7114
7115 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7116 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7117 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7118 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7119 now it really counts the depth.
7120 [Bodo Moeller]
7121
7122 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7123 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7124 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7125 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7126 didn't match the private key).
7127
7128 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7129 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7130 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7131 [Bodo Moeller]
7132
7133 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7134 [Ulf Möller]
7135
7136 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7137 David Harris.
7138 [Bodo Moeller]
7139
7140 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7141 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7142 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7143 [Bodo Moeller]
7144
7145 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7146 [Bodo Moeller]
7147
7148 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7149 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7150 such as /usr/local/bin.
7151 [Bodo Moeller]
7152
7153 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7154 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7155
7156 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7157 [Ulf Möller]
7158
7159 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7160 extension adding in x509 utility.
7161 [Steve Henson]
7162
7163 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7164 [Ulf Möller]
7165
7166 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7167 prototypes.
7168 [Steve Henson]
7169
7170 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7171 [Ulf Möller]
7172
7173 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7174 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7175 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7176 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7177 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7178 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7179 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7180 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7181 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7182 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7183 [Steve Henson]
7184
7185 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7186 [Bodo Moeller]
7187
7188 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7189 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7190 [Bodo Moeller]
7191
7192 *) Fix some race conditions.
7193 [Bodo Moeller]
7194
7195 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7196 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7197 [Steve Henson]
7198
7199 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7200 [Ulf Möller]
7201
7202 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7203 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7204 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7205 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7206
7207 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7208 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7209
7210 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7211 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7212 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7213
7214 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7215 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7216
7217 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7218 [Ulf Möller]
7219
7220 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7221 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7222
7223 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7224 [Ulf Möller]
7225
7226 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7227 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7228
7229 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7230 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7231 [Steve Henson]
7232
7233 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7234 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7235 [Ben Laurie]
7236
7237 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7238 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7239 [Steve Henson]
7240
7241 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7242 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7243 [Steve Henson]
7244
7245 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7246 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7247 [Steve Henson]
7248
7249 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7250 support typesafe stack.
7251 [Steve Henson]
7252
7253 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7254 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7255
7256 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7257 old X509V3 handling code.
7258 [Steve Henson]
7259
7260 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7261 [Ulf Möller]
7262
7263 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7264 [Bodo Moeller]
7265
7266 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7267 [Ben Laurie]
7268
7269 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7270 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7271
7272 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7273 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7274 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7275 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7276 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7277 [Ben Laurie]
7278
7279 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7280 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7281 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7282 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7283 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7284
7285 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7286 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7287 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7288 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7289
7290 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7291 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7292 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7293 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7294
7295 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7296 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7297 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7298 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7299 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7300 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7301 [Bodo Moeller]
7302
7303 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7304 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7305 [Bodo Moeller]
7306
7307 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7308 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7309 [Ulf Möller]
7310
7311 *) Tweaks to Configure
7312 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7313
7314 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7315 yet...
7316 [Steve Henson]
7317
7318 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7319 [Ulf Möller]
7320
7321 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7322 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7323 [Ulf Möller]
7324
7325 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7326 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7327 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7328 [Bodo Moeller]
7329
7330 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7331 [Bodo Moeller]
7332
7333 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7334 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7335 [Steve Henson]
7336
7337 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7338 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7339 to library startup routines.
7340 [Steve Henson]
7341
7342 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7343 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7344 codes along the way.
7345 [Steve Henson]
7346
7347 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7348 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7349 objects to objects.h
7350 [Steve Henson]
7351
7352 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7353 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7354 [Steve Henson]
7355
7356 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7357 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7358
7359 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7360 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7361 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7362
7363 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7364 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7365 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7366
7367 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7368 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7369 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7370
7371
7372 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7373
7374 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7375 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7376 [Ben Laurie]
7377
7378 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7379 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7380 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7381 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7382 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7383
7384 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7385 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7386 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7387 document.
7388 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7389
7390 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7391 Malloc, Free.
7392 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7393
7394 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7395 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7396
7397 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7398 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7399 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7400 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7401
7402 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7403 [Ben Laurie]
7404
7405 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7406 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7407 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7408 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7409 [Steve Henson]
7410
7411 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7412 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7413 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7414 [Steve Henson]
7415
7416 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7417 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7418 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7419 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7420 installed as `perl').
7421 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7422
7423 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7424 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7425
7426 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7427 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7428 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7429 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7430 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7431 [Steve Henson]
7432
7433 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7434 [Ben Laurie]
7435
7436 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7437 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7438 is horrible: I feel ill....
7439 [Steve Henson]
7440
7441 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7442 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7443 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7444 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7445 [Steve Henson]
7446
7447 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7449
7450 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7451 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7452 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7453 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7454
7455 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7456 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7457 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7458 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7459 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7460 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7461 openssl_bio.xs.
7462 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7463
7464 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7465 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7466
7467 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7468 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7469
7470 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7471 [Ben Laurie]
7472
7473 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7474 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7475 in CRLs.
7476 [Steve Henson]
7477
7478 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7479 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7480 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7481 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7482 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7483 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7484 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7485 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7486 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7487 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7488 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7489
7490 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7491 [Ben Laurie]
7492
7493 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7494 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7495 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7496 for linking it into DSOs.
7497 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7498
7499 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7500 Fixed.
7501 [Ben Laurie]
7502
7503 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7504 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7505 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7506 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7507 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7508 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7509
7510 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7511 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7512 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7513 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7514 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7515 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7516 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7517
7518 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7519 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7520 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7521 encryption.
7522 [Ben Laurie]
7523
7524 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7525 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7526 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7527 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7528 [Steve Henson]
7529
7530 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7531 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7532 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7533 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7534 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7535 field as blank.
7536 [Steve Henson]
7537
7538 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7539 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7540 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7541 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7542 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7543
7544 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7545 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7546 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7547
7548 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7549 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7550
7551 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7552 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7553 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7554 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7555 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7556 [Steve Henson]
7557
7558 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7559 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7560 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7561 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7562 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7563 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7564 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7565 [Ben Laurie]
7566
7567 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7568 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
7569 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7570 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7571 [Ben Laurie]
7572
7573 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7574 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7575
7576 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7577 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7578 [Steve Henson]
7579
7580 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7581 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7582 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7583 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7584 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7585 (e.g. s_server).
7586 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7587 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7588 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7589 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7590 no way to reconfigure them.
7591 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7592 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7593 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7594 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7595 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7597
7598 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7599 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7600 recognized by the users.
7601 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7602
7603 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7604 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7605 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7606 already masked variable.
7607 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7608
7609 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7610 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7611
7612 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7613 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7614 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7615 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7616
7617 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7618 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7619 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7620
7621 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7622 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7623 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7624 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7625 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7626 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7627 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7628 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7629 now, too.
7630 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7631
7632 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7633 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7634 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7635
7636 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7637 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7638 config file.
7639 [Steve Henson]
7640
7641 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7642 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7643
7644 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7645 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7646 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7647 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7648 [Ben Laurie]
7649
7650 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7651 [Steve Henson]
7652
7653 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7654 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7655
7656 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7657 [Ben Laurie]
7658
7659 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7660 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7661 [Steve Henson]
7662
7663 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7664 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7665 [Steve Henson]
7666
7667 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7668 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7669 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7670 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7671 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7672 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7673 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7674 Ben Laurie]
7675
7676 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7677 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7678
7679 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7680 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7681 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7682 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7683 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7684
7685 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7686 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7687 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7688 [Steve Henson]
7689
7690 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7691 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7692 an example.
7693 [Steve Henson]
7694
7695 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7696 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7697 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7698
7699 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7700 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7701 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7702 build instructions.
7703 [Steve Henson]
7704
7705 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7706 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7707 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7708 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7709 [Steve Henson]
7710
7711 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7712 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7713 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7714 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7715 [Ben Laurie]
7716
7717 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7718 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7719 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7720 so it wasn't spotted.
7721 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7722
7723 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7724 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7725 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7726 vectors if you have them.
7727 [Ben Laurie]
7728
7729 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7730 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7731 [Ben Laurie]
7732
7733 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7734 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7735 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7736 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7737 If you do a:
7738 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7739 it will update them.
7740 [Steve Henson]
7741
7742 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7743 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7744 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7745 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7746 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7747 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7748 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7749 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7750
7751 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7752 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7753 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7754 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7755 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7756 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7757 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7758 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7759 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7760 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7761
7762 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7763 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7764 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7765 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7766 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7767 [Steve Henson]
7768
7769 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7770 INTEGER code.
7771 [Steve Henson]
7772
7773 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7774 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7775
7776 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7777 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7778
7779 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7780 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7781 [Ben Laurie]
7782
7783 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7784 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7785
7786 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7787 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7788
7789 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7790 [Steve Henson]
7791
7792 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7793 few typos.
7794 [Steve Henson]
7795
7796 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7797 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7798 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7799 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7800
7801 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7802 [Steve Henson]
7803
7804 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7805 [Steve Henson]
7806
7807 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7808 [Steve Henson]
7809
7810 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7811 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7812 [Steve Henson]
7813
7814 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7815 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7816 CA extensions.
7817 [Steve Henson]
7818
7819 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7820 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7821 [Steve Henson]
7822
7823 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7824 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7825 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7826 [Steve Henson]
7827
7828 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7829 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7830 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7831 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7832 properly to be processed.
7833 [Steve Henson]
7834
7835 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7836 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7837 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7838 [Ben Laurie]
7839
7840 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7841 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7842
7843 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7844 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7845 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7846 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7847 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7848 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7849 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7850 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7851 or delete all the .err files.
7852 [Steve Henson]
7853
7854 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7855 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7856 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7857 to regenerate it if needed.
7858 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7859 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7860
7861 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7862 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7863
7864 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7865 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7866 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7867 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7868 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7869 [Steve Henson]
7870
7871 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7872 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7873
7874 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7875 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7876
7877 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7878 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7879 error, but didn't set one).
7880 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7881
7882 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7883 [Ben Laurie]
7884
7885 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7886 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7887 [Steve Henson]
7888
7889 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7890 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7891
7892 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7893 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7894 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7895 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7896 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7897 OID is not part of the table.
7898 [Steve Henson]
7899
7900 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7901 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7902 [Ben Laurie]
7903
7904 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7905 [Ben Laurie]
7906
7907 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7908 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7909 was "1234").
7910 [Steve Henson]
7911
7912 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7913 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7914
7915 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7916 NULL pointers.
7917 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7918
7919 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7920 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7921
7922 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7923 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7924
7925 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7926 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7927
7928 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7929 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7930 [Ben Laurie]
7931
7932 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7933 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7934 [Steve Henson]
7935
7936 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7937 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7938
7939 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7940 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7941
7942 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7943 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7944
7945 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7946 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7947
7948 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7949 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7950 unused in the certificate verification process.
7951 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7952
7953 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7954 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7955 [Steve Henson]
7956
7957 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7958 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7959 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7960
7961 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7962 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7963 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7964 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7965 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7966
7967 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7968 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7969 [Steve Henson]
7970
7971 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7972 [Steve Henson]
7973
7974 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7975 [Paul Sutton]
7976
7977 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7978 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7979
7980 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7981 [Ben Laurie]
7982
7983 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7984 [Ben Laurie]
7985
7986 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7987 [Ben Laurie]
7988
7989 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7990 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7991 other error libraries.
7992 [Steve Henson]
7993
7994 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7995 [Steve Henson]
7996
7997 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7998 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7999 be read in.
8000 [Steve Henson]
8001
8002 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8003 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8004 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8005 the new set of documenation files.
8006 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8007
8008 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8009 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8010 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8011 number of arguments.
8012 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8013
8014 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8015 [Ben Laurie]
8016
8017 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8018 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8019 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8020
8021 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8022 [Ben Laurie]
8023
8024 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8025 nextstep
8026 ncr-scde
8027 unixware-2.0
8028 unixware-2.0-pentium
8029 sco5-cc.
8030 [Ben Laurie]
8031
8032 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8033 before they are needed.
8034 [Ben Laurie]
8035
8036 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8037 [Ben Laurie]
8038
8039
8040 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8041
8042 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8043 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8044 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8045
8046 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8047 [Paul Sutton]
8048
8049 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8050 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8051 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8052
8053 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8054 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8055 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8056
8057 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8058 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8059 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8060
8061 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8062 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8063
8064 *) Updated the README file.
8065 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8066
8067 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8068 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8069 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8070
8071 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8072 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8073 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8074
8075 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8076 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8077 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8078 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8079 o removed obsolete TODO file
8080 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8081 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8082
8083 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8084 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8085 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8086 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8087 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8088 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8089 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8090
8091 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8092 [Mark J. Cox]
8093
8094 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8095 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8096 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8097 summer 1998.
8098 [The OpenSSL Project]
8099
8100
8101 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8102
8103 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8104 [Eric A. Young]
8105
8106 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8107 [Eric A. Young]
8108
8109 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8110 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8111 [Eric A. Young]
8112
8113 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8114 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8115 available).
8116 [Eric A. Young]
8117
8118 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8119 binary structures
8120 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8121
8122 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8123 [Eric A. Young]
8124
8125 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8126 [Eric A. Young]
8127
8128 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8129 [Eric A. Young]
8130
8131 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8132 [Eric A. Young]
8133
8134 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8135 [Eric A. Young]
8136
8137 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8138 [Eric A. Young]
8139
8140 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8141 [Eric A. Young]
8142
8143 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8144 [Eric A. Young]
8145
8146 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8147 [Eric A. Young]
8148
8149 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8150 [Eric A. Young]
8151
8152 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8153 [Eric A. Young]
8154
8155 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8156 [Eric A. Young]
8157
8158 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8159 [Eric A. Young]
8160
8161 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8162 [Eric A. Young]
8163
8164 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8165 [Eric A. Young]
8166
8167 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8168 [Eric A. Young]
8169
8170 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8171 [Eric A. Young]
8172
8173 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8174 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8175 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8176 [Eric A. Young]
8177
8178 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8179 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8180 [Eric A. Young]
8181
8182 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
