5 This is a high-level summary of the most important changes.
6 For a full list of changes, see the git commit log; for example,
7 https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commits/ and pick the appropriate
8 release branch.

10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
13 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
14 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
15 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
16 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
17 [Matt Caswell]
18
19 *) Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
20 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
21 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
22 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
23 [Matt Caswell]
24
25 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
26 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
27 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
28 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
29 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
30 BIO_snprintf().
31 [Richard Levitte]
32
33 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
34 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
35 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
36 [Richard Levitte]
37
38 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
39 [Bernd Edlinger]
40
41 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
42 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
43 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
44 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
45 [Bernd Edlinger]
46
47 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
48 [Paul Dale]
49
50 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
51 deprecated.
52 [Rich Salz]
53
54 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
55 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
56 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
57 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
58 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
59 functions for further details.
60 [Matt Caswell]
61
62 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
63 [Matt Caswell]
64
65 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
66 xxx_F_xxx define's.
67
68 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
69 [Rich Salz]
70
71 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
72 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
73 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
74 variables, only functions.
75 [Rich Salz]
76
77 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
78 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
79 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
80 would crash.
81 [Matt Caswell]
82
83 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
84 [Paul Yang]
85
86 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
87 [Tomas Mraz]
88
89 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
90 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
91 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
92 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
93 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
94 To enable or disable these checks use the control
95 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
96 [Shane Lontis]
97
98 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
99 #defines are deprecated.
100 [Todd Short]
101
102 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
103 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
104 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
105 [Kenji Mouri]
106
107 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
108 [Richard Levitte]
109
110 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
111 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
112 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
113 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
114 [Kurt Roeckx]
115
116 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
117 [Shane Lontis]
118
119 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
120 [Shane Lontis]
121
122 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
123 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
124 for scripting purposes.
125 [Richard Levitte]
126
127 *) The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
128 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
129 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
130 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
131 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
132 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
133 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
134 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
135 should not use these modes.
136 [Matt Caswell]
137
138 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
139 [Paul Dale]
140
141 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
142 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
143 [Paul Dale]
144
145 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
146 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
147 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
148 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
149
150 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
151 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
152 The configuration option is now deprecated.
153 [Richard Levitte]
154
155 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
156 digest name in its output.
157 [Richard Levitte]
158
159 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
160 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
161 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
162 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
163
164 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
165 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
166 categories.
167
168 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
169 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
170 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
171 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
172
173 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
174 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
175 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
176
177 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
178 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
179 [Richard Levitte]
180
181 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
182 [Shane Lontis]
183
184 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
185 [Shane Lontis]
186
187 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
188 the core.
189 [Paul Dale]
190
191 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
192 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
193 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
194 to affine coordinates.
195 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
196
197 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
198 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
199 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
200 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
201 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
202 [David Makepeace]
203
204 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
205 [Eneas U de Queiroz]
206
207 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
208 [Antoine Salon]
209
210 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
211 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
212 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
213 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
214 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
215 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
216
217 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
218 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
219 [Bernd Edlinger]
220
221 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
222 [Richard Levitte]
223
224 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
225 [Richard Levitte]
226
227 *) Change the possible version information given with OPENSSL_API_COMPAT.
228 It may be a pre-3.0.0 style numerical version number as it was defined
229 in 1.1.0, and it may also simply take the major version number.
230
231 Because of the version numbering of pre-3.0.0 releases, the values 0,
232 1 and 2 are equivalent to 0x00908000L (0.9.8), 0x10000000L (1.0.0) and
233 0x10100000L (1.1.0), respectively.
234 [Richard Levitte]
235
236 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
237
238 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
239 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
240 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
241 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
242 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
243 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
244 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
245 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
246 [Richard Levitte]
247
248 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
249 [Todd Short]
250
251 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
252 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
253 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
254 [Richard Levitte]
255
256 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
257 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
258 [Richard Levitte]
259
260 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
261 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
262 look into.
263 [Richard Levitte]
264
265 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
266 [Paul Dale]
267
268 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
269 [Richard Levitte]
270
271 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
272 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
273 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
274 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
275 [Richard Levitte]
276
277 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
278 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
279 [Antoine Salon]
280
281 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
282 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
283 are retained for backwards compatibility.
284 [Antoine Salon]
285
286 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
287 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
288 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
289 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
290 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
291 [Paul Dale]
292
293 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
294 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
295 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
296 [Richard Levitte]
297
298 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
299 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
300 [Richard Levitte]
301
302 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
303 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
304 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
305 [Boris Pismenny]
306
307 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
308
309 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
310 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
311 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
312 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
313 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
314 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
315 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
316 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
317 applications.
318 [Matt Caswell]
319
320 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
321
322 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
323
324 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
325 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
326 algorithm to recover the private key.
327
328 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
329 (CVE-2018-0734)
330 [Paul Dale]
331
332 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
333
334 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
335 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
336 algorithm to recover the private key.
337
338 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
339 (CVE-2018-0735)
340 [Paul Dale]
341
342 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
343 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
344 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
345
346 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
347 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
348 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
349 provided by the application.
350
351 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
352
353 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
354 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
355 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
356 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
357 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
358 of the ClientHello
359 [Benjamin Kaduk]
360
361 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
362 [Jack Lloyd]
363
364 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
365 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
366 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
367 [Patrick Steuer]
368
369 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
370 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
371 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
372 [Richard Levitte]
373
374 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
375 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
376 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
377 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
378 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
379 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
380 to work in projective coordinates.
381 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
382
383 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
384 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
385 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
386 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
387 to 2^-128.
388 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
389
390 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
391 [Kurt Roeckx]
392
393 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
394 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
395 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
396 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
397 [Richard Levitte]
398
399 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
400 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
401 [Andy Polyakov]
402
403 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
404 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
405 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
406 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
407 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
408
409 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
410 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
411 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
412 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
413 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
414 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
415
416 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
417 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
418 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
419 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
420 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
421 [Paul Dale]
422
423 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
424 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
425 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
426 authors.
427 [Matt Caswell]
428
429 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
430 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
431 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
432 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
433 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
434 multi-version installation is managed.
435 [Andy Polyakov]
436
437 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
438 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
439 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
440 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
441 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
442 [Billy Bob Brumley]
443
444 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
445 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
446 chosen point SCA attacks.
447 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
448
449 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
450 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
451 [Matt Caswell]
452
453 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
454 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
455 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
456 [Matt Caswell]
457
458 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
459 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
460 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
461 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
462 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
463 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
464 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
465 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
466 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
467 [Kurt Roeckx]
468
469 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
470 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
471 [Richard Levitte]
472
473 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
474 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
475 [Billy Bob Brumley]
476
477 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
478 binary and prime elliptic curves.
479 [Billy Bob Brumley]
480
481 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
482 constant time fixed point multiplication.
483 [Billy Bob Brumley]
484
485 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
486 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
487 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
488 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
489 ECDH derive operations).
490 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
491 Sohaib ul Hassan]
492
493 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
494 [Rich Salz]
495
496 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
497 randomness from the system.
498 [Matthias St. Pierre]
499
500 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
501 [Richard Levitte]
502
503 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
504 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
505 [Matt Caswell]
506
507 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
508 [Matt Caswell]
509
510 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
511 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
512
513 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
514 [Richard Levitte]
515
516 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
517 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
518 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
519 [Matt Caswell]
520
521 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
522 stack.
523 [Rich Salz]
524
525 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
526 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
527 [Bernd Edlinger]
528
529 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
530 [Matt Caswell]
531
532 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
533 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
534 [Matthias St. Pierre]
535
536 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
537 for the license change).
538 [Rich Salz]
539
540 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
541 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
542 [Matt Caswell]
543
544 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
545 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
546 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
547 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
548 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
549 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
550 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
551 [Matt Caswell]
552
553 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
554 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
555 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
556 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
557 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
558 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
559 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
560 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
561 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
562 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
563 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
564 written to stderr.
565 [Viktor Dukhovni]
566
567 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
568 Mike Hamburg.
569 [Matt Caswell]
570
571 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
572 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
573 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
574 get the search data out of them.
575 [Richard Levitte]
576
577 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
578 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
579 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
580 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
581 [Matt Caswell]
582
583 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
584
585 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
586 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
587 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
588 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
589 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
590 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
591
592 Some of its new features are:
593 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
594 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
595 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
596 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
597 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
598 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
599 operation
600 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
601
602 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
603 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
604 to display all sorts of configuration data.
605 [Richard Levitte]
606
607 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
608 [Richard Levitte]
609
610 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
611 [Paul Dale]
612
613 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
614 now been removed.
615 [Rich Salz]
616
617 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
618 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
619 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
620 debug (or make silent).
621 [Richard Levitte]
622
623 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
624 arguments to config / Configure.
625 [Richard Levitte]
626
627 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
628 [Paul Yang]
629
630 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
631 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
632 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
633 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
634
635 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
636 as documented in RFC6066.
637 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
638 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
639
640 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
641 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
642 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
643 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
644
645 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
646 original author does not agree with the license change.
647 [Rich Salz]
648
649 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
650 [Jon Spillett]
651
652 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
653 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
654 [Rich Salz]
655
656 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
657 without clearing the errors.
658 [Richard Levitte]
659
660 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
661 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
662 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
663 [Rich Salz]
664
665 *) Add SHA3.
666 [Andy Polyakov]
667
668 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
669 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
670 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
671 as a fallback).
672
673 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
674 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
675 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
676 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
677 [Richard Levitte]
678
679 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
680 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
681 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
682 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
683 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
684 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
685 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
686 [Richard Levitte]
687
688 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
689 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
690 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
691 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
692 [Richard Levitte]
693
694 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
695 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
696 error code calls like this:
697
698 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
699
700 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
701 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
702 affect new modules.
703 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
704
705 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
706 [Rich Salz]
707
708 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
709 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
710 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
711 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
712 [Richard Levitte]
713
714 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
715 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
716 than just the call where this user data is passed.
717 [Richard Levitte]
718
719 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
720 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
721 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
722
723 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
724 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
725 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
726 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
727 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
728 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
729 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
730 issues.
731 [Matt Caswell]
732
733 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
734 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
735 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
736 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
737 [Richard Levitte]
738
739 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
740 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
741 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
742
743 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
744 does for RSA, etc.
745 [Richard Levitte]
746
747 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
748 platform rather than 'mingw'.
749 [Richard Levitte]
750
751 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
752 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
753 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
754 certificates and CRLs.
755 [Paul Dale]
756
757 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
758 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
759 [Andy Polyakov]
760
761 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
762 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
763 [Richard Levitte]
764
765 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
766 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
767 which is the minimum version we support.
768 [Richard Levitte]
769
770 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
771 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
772 are no longer allowed.
773 [Emilia Käsper]
774
775 *) Add support for ARIA
776 [Paul Dale]
777
778 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
779 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
780 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
781 using "-servername".
782 [Matt Caswell]
783
784 *) Add support for SipHash
785 [Todd Short]
786
787 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
788 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
789 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
790 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
791 [Matt Caswell]
792
793 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
794 using the algorithm defined in
795 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
796 [Richard Levitte]
797
798 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
799 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
800
801 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
802 [Emilia Käsper]
803
804 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
805 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
806 [Rich Salz]
807
808
809 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
810
811 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
812
813 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
814 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
815 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
816 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
817 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
818
819 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
820 (CVE-2018-0732)
821 [Guido Vranken]
822
823 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
824
825 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
826 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
827 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
828 recover the private key.
829
830 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
831 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
832 (CVE-2018-0737)
833 [Billy Brumley]
834
835 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
836 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
837 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
838 [Richard Levitte]
839
840 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
841 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
842 [Andy Polyakov]
843
844 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
845 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
846 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
847 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
848 to 2^-128.
849 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
850
851 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
852 [Kurt Roeckx]
853
854 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
855 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
856 [Matt Caswell]
857
858 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
859 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
860 [Richard Levitte]
861
862 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
863 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
864 are no longer allowed.
865 [Emilia Käsper]
866
867 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
868
869 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
870 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
871 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
872 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
873 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
874 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
875 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
876 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
877 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
878 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
879 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
880 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
881 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
882 [Matt Caswell]
883
884 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
885
886 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
887
888 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
889 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
890 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
891 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
892 so this is considered safe.
893
894 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
895 project.
896 (CVE-2018-0739)
897 [Matt Caswell]
898
899 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
900
901 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
902 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
903 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
904 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
905 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
906 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
907
908 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
909 (IBM).
910 (CVE-2018-0733)
911 [Andy Polyakov]
912
913 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
914 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
915 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
916 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
917 [Richard Levitte]
918
919 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
920
921 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
922 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
923 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
924 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
925 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
926
927 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
928 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
929 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
930 [Matt Caswell]
931
932 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
933 exist.
934 [Rich Salz]
935
936 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
937
938 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
939 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
940 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
941 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
942 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
943 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
944 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
945 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
946 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
947 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
948
949 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
950 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
951
952 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
953 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
954 (CVE-2017-3738)
955 [Andy Polyakov]
956
957 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
958
959 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
960
961 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
962 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
963 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
964 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
965 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
966 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
967 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
968 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
969 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
970 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
971 key that is shared between multiple clients.
972
973 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
974 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
975
976 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
977 (CVE-2017-3736)
978 [Andy Polyakov]
979
980 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
981
982 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
983 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
984 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
985
986 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
987 (CVE-2017-3735)
988 [Rich Salz]
989
990 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
991
992 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
993 platform rather than 'mingw'.
994 [Richard Levitte]
995
996 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
997 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
998 which is the minimum version we support.

1000
1001 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1002
1003 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1004
1005 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1006 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1007 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1008 and servers are affected.
1009
1010 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1011 (CVE-2017-3733)
1012 [Matt Caswell]
1013
1014 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1015
1016 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1017
1018 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1019 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1020 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1021
1022 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1023 (CVE-2017-3731)
1024 [Andy Polyakov]
1025
1026 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1027
1028 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1029 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1030 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1031 of Service attack.
1032

1034 (CVE-2017-3730)
1035 [Matt Caswell]
1036
1037 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1038
1039 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1040 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1041 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1042 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1043 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1044 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1045 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1046 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1047 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1048 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1049 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1050 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1051 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1052
1053 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

1057 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1058
1059 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1060
1061 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1062 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1063 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1064
1065 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1066 (CVE-2016-7054)
1067 [Richard Levitte]
1068
1069 *) CMS Null dereference
1070
1071 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1072 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1073 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1074 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1075 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1076 affected.
1077
1078 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1079 (CVE-2016-7053)
1080 [Stephen Henson]
1081
1082 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1083
1084 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1085 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1086 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1087 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1088 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1089 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1090 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1091 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1092 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1093 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1094 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1095 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1096 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1097 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1098
1099 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1100 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1101 providing reproducible case.
1102 (CVE-2016-7055)
1103 [Andy Polyakov]
1104
1105 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1106 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1107 [Richard Levitte]
1108
1109 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1110
1111 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1112
1113 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1114 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1115 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1116 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1117 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1118 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1119
1120 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
1121
1122 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
1123 (CVE-2016-6309)
1124 [Matt Caswell]
1125
1126 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1127
1128 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1129
1130 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1131 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1132 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1133 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1134 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1135 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1136 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
1137
1138 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1139 (CVE-2016-6304)
1140 [Matt Caswell]
1141
1142 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1143
1144 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1145 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1146 Denial Of Service attack.
1147
1148 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1149 (CVE-2016-6305)
1150 [Matt Caswell]
1151
1152 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1153 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1154
1155 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1156 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1157 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1158 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1159 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1160 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1161 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1162 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1163 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1164 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1165 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1166 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1167 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1168 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1169 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1170
1171 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1172 that the connection fails
1173 or
1174 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1175 very little free memory
1176 or
1177 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1178 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1179 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1180 memory to service the multiple requests.
1181
1182 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1183 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1184 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1185 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1186 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1189 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1190 [Matt Caswell]
1191
1192 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1193 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1194 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1195 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1196 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1197 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1198 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1199 [Andy Polyakov]
1200
1201 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1202
1203 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1204 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1205 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1206 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1207 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1208 non-ASCII password.
1209 [Andy Polyakov]
1210
1211 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1212 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1213 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1214 [Rich Salz]
1215
1216 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1217 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1218 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1219 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1220 [Matt Caswell]
1221
1222 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1223 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1224 success.
1225 [Matt Caswell]
1226
1227 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1228 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1229 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1230 no-ops and deprecated.
1231 [Matt Caswell]
1232
1233 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1234 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1235 were also closed.
1236 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1237
1238 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1239 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1240 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1241 [Rich Salz]
1242
1243 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1244 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1245 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1246 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1247 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1248 and the validity of object reference counter.
1249 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1250
1251 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1252 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1253 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1254 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1255 [Richard Levitte]
1256
1257 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1258 [Richard Levitte]
1259
1260 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1261 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1262 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1263 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1264
1265 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1266
1267 [Richard Levitte]
1268
1269 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1270 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1271 [Steve Henson]
1272
1273 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1274 [Andy Polyakov]
1275
1276 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1277 [Rich Salz]
1278
1279 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1280 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1281 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1282 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1283 name and is used as is.
1284 [Richard Levitte]
1285
1286 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1287 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1288 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1289 [Rich Salz]
1290
1291 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1292 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1293 [Matt Caswell]
1294
1295 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1296 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1297 algorithms.
1298 [Matt Caswell]
1299
1300 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1301 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1302 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1303 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1304 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1305 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1306 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1307 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1308 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1309 [Matt Caswell]
1310
1311 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1312 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1313 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1314 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1315
1316 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1317 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1318 these have been added.
1319 [Matt Caswell]
1320
1321 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1322 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1323 functions for managing these have been added.
1324 [Richard Levitte]
1325
1326 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1327 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1328 these have been added.
1329 [Matt Caswell]
1330
1331 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1332 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1333 have been added.
1334 [Matt Caswell]
1335
1336 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1337 [Matt Caswell]
1338
1339 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1340 [Richard Levitte]
1341
1342 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1343 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1344 [Rich Salz]
1345
1346 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1347 [Richard Levitte]
1348
1349 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1350 [Rich Salz]
1351
1352 *) Add support for HKDF.
1353 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1354
1355 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1356 [Bill Cox]
1357
1358 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1359 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1360 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1361 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1362 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1363 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1364 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1365 [Matt Caswell]
1366
1367 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1368 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1369 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1370 [Catriona Lucey]
1371
1372 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1373 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1374 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1375 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1376 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1377 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1378 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1379
1380 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1381 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1382 [Todd Short]
1383
1384 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1385 [Todd Short]
1386
1387 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1388 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1389 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1390 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1391 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1392 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1393 default cipherlist.
1394 [Emilia Käsper]
1395
1396 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1397 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1398 [Rich Salz]
1399
1400 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1401 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1402 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1403 [Matt Caswell]
1404
1405 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1406 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1407 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1408 implemented by other servers.
1409 [Emilia Käsper]
1410
1411 *) Add X25519 support.
1412 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1413 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1414 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1415 key generation and key derivation.
1416
1417 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1418 X25519(29).
1419 [Steve Henson]
1420
1421 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1422 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1423 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1424 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1425 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1426
1427 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1428 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1429 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1430 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1431 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1432 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1433 that of a valid user.
1434 [Emilia Käsper]
1435
1436 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1437 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1438 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1439 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1440
1441 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1442 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1443
1444 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1445 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1446 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1447 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1448
1449 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1450 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1451 irrelevant.
1452 [Richard Levitte]
1453
1454 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1455 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1456 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1457 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1458 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1459 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1460
1461 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1462 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1463 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1464 [Richard Levitte]
1465
1466 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1467 [Rich Salz]
1468
1469 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1470 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1471 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1472 removed.
1473 [Richard Levitte]
1474
1475 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1476 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1477 old #define's might need to be updated.
1478 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1479
1480 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1481 [Rich Salz]
1482
1483 *) New "unified" build system
1484
1485 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1486 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1487
1488 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1489 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1490 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1491
1492 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1493 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1494 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1495 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1496 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1497
1498 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1499 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1500 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1501 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1502 libraries" in INSTALL.
1503
1504 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1505 [Richard Levitte]
1506
1507 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1508 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1509 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1510 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1511 [Matt Caswell]
1512
1513 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1514 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1515
1516 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1517 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1518 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1519 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1520 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1521 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1522 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1523 have been adapted accordingly.
1524 [Richard Levitte]
1525
1526 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1527 the leading 0-byte.
1528 [Emilia Käsper]
1529
1530 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1531 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1532 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1533 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1534 [Emilia Käsper]
1535
1536 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1537 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1538 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1539 'unsigned char*'.
1540 [Emilia Käsper]
1541
1542 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1543 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1544 [Emilia Käsper]
1545
1546 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1547 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1548 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1549 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1550 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1551 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1552 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1553
1554 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1555 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1556
1557 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1558 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1559 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1560 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1561 Text::Template.
1562
1563 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1564 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1565 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1566 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1567 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1568 %target).
1569 [Richard Levitte]
1570
1571 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1572 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1573 straightforward and less interdependent.
1574
1575 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1576 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1577 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1578
1579 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1580 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1581 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1582 installed.
1583 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1584 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1585 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1586 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1587
1588 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1589 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1590 [Richard Levitte]
1591
1592 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1593 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1594 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1595 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1596 is present).
1597 [Matt Caswell]
1598
1599 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1600 configuring.
1601 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1602
1603 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1604 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1605 before trying to build now.*
1606 [Rich Salz]
1607
1608 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1609 has changed.
1610 [Rich Salz]
1611
1612 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1613
1614 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1615 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1616 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1617 used to authenticate the peer.
1618
1619 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1620 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1621 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1622 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1623 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1624 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1625
1626 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1627 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1628 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1629 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1630 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1631 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1632
1633 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1634 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1635 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1636 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1637 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1638 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1639 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1640 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1641 version.
1642
1643 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1644 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1645 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1646 compile with later releases.
1647
1648 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1649 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1650 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1651 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1652 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1653 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1654
1655 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1656 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1657 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1658 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1659 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1660 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1661 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1662 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1663 [Kurt Roeckx]
1664
1665 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1666 [Andy Polyakov]
1667
1668 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1669 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1670 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1671 ECDSA_SIG format.
1672
1673 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1674 include the ec.h header file instead.
1675 [Steve Henson]
1676
1677 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1678 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1679 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1680 [Kurt Roeckx]
1681
1682 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1683 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1684 were added:
1685
1686 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1687 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1688
1689 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1690 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1691 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1692
1693 Additional changes:
1694 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1695 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1696 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1697 an already created structure.
1698 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1699 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1700 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1701 for deprecated builds.
1702 [Richard Levitte]
1703
1704 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1705 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1706 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1707 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1708 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1709 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1710 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1711 [Matt Caswell]
1712
1713 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1714 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1715 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1716 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1717 [Kurt Roeckx]
1718
1719 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1720 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1721 [Kurt Roeckx]
1722
1723 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1724 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1725 [Kurt Roeckx]
1726
1727 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1728 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1729 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1730 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1731 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1732 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1733 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1734 also been removed.
1735 [Matt Caswell]
1736
1737 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1738 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1739 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1740 [Rich Salz]
1741
1742 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1743 [Rich Salz]
1744
1745 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1746 sureware and ubsec.
1747 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1748
1749 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1750
1751 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1752 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1753
1754 FOO *x;
1755
1756 it must be:
1757
1758 FOO x;
1759
1760 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1761 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1762
1763 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1764 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1765 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1766 SEQUENCE OF.
1767 [Steve Henson]
1768
1769 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1770 [Emilia Käsper]
1771
1772 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1773 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1774 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1775 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1776 [Matt Caswell]
1777
1778 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1779 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1780 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1781 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1782 [Emilia Käsper]
1783
1784 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1785 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1786 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1787
1788 *) New testing framework
1789 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1790 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1791 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1792 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1793 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1794 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1795
1796 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1797
1798 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1799 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1800
1801 [Richard Levitte]
1802
1803 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1804 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1805 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1806 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1807 [Rich Salz]
1808
1809 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1810 return an error
1811 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1812
1813 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1814 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1815
1816 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1817 original RSA_PSK patch.
1818 [Steve Henson]
1819
1820 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1821 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1822 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1823 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1824 [Matt Caswell]
1825
1826 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1827 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1828 [Richard Levitte]
1829
1830 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1831 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1832 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1833 [Emilia Käsper]
1834
1835 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1836 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1837 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1838 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1839 transferred.
1840 [Matt Caswell]
1841
1842 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1843 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1844 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1845 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1846 [Matt Caswell]
1847
1848 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1849 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1850 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1851 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1852 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1853 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1854 [Matt Caswell]
1855
1856 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1857 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1858 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1859 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1860 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1861 header file has been removed.
1862 [Matt Caswell]
1863
1864 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1865 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1866 [Matt Caswell]
1867
1868 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1869 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1870 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1871
1872 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1873 Added a test.
1874 [Rich Salz]
1875
1876 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1877 [Rich Salz]
1878
1879 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1880 sha256
1881 [Rich Salz]
1882
1883 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1884 [Matt Caswell]
1885
1886 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1887 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1888 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1889 [Steve Henson]
1890
1891 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1892 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1893 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1894 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1895 [Matt Caswell]
1896
1897 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1898 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1899 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1900 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1901 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1902 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1903 [Matt Caswell]
1904
1905 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1906 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1907 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1908 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1909 [Matt Caswell]
1910
1911 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1912 compatible client hello.
1913 [Kurt Roeckx]
1914
1915 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1916 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1917 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1918
1919 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1920 [Rich Salz]
1921
1922 *) Removed old DES API.
1923 [Rich Salz]
1924
1925 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1926 Sony NEWS4
1927 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1928 NeXT
1929 SUNOS
1930 MPE/iX
1931 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1932 DGUX
1933 NCR
1934 Tandem
1935 Cray
1936 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1937 [Rich Salz]
1938
1939 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1940 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1941 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1942 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1943 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1944 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1945 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1946 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1947 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1948 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1949 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1950 [Rich Salz]
1951
1952 *) Cleaned up dead code
1953 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1954 [Rich Salz]
1955
1956 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1957 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1958 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1959 [Rich Salz]
1960
1961 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1962 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1963 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1964 [Rich Salz]
1965
1966 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1967 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1968 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1969
1970 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1971 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1972 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1973
1974 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1975 compilation flags.
1976 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1977
1978 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1979 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1980 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1981
1982 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1983 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1984
1985 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1986 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1987 server.
1988
1989 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1990 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1991 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1992 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1993
1994 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1995 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1996 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1997 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1998
1999 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2000 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2001 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2002
2003 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2004 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2005 [Steve Henson]
2006
2007 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2008
2009 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2010 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2011
2012 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2013 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2014
2015 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2016 effect.
2017
2018 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2019
2020 [Steve Henson]
2021
2022 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2023 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2024 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2025 algorithms and include tests cases.
2026 [Steve Henson]
2027
2028 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2029 enveloped data.
2030 [Steve Henson]
2031
2032 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2033 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2034 [Steve Henson]
2035
2036 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2037 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2038
2039 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2040 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2041 [Steve Henson]
2042
2043 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2044 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2045 failures.
2046 [Steve Henson]
2047
2048 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2049 sign or verify all in one operation.
2050 [Steve Henson]
2051
2052 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2053 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2054 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2055 [Steve Henson]
2056
2057 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2058 [Steve Henson]
2059
2060 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2061 [Steve Henson]
2062
2063 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2064 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2065 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2066 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2067 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2068 [Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2071 based on NID.
2072 [Steve Henson]
2073
2074 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2075 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2076 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2077 [Steve Henson]
2078
2079 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2080 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2081
2082 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2083 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2084 [Steve Henson]
2085
2086 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2087 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2088 [Steve Henson]
2089
2090 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2091 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2092 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2093 [Steve Henson]
2094
2095 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2096 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2097 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2098 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2099 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2100 requested amount of entropy.
2101 [Steve Henson]
2102
2103 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2104 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2108 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2109 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2110 support.
2111 [Steve Henson]
2112
2113 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2114 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2115 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2116 [Steve Henson]
2117
2118 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2119 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2120 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2121 will never use XTS mode.
2122 [Steve Henson]
2123
2124 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2125 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2126 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2127 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2128 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2129 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2130 [Steve Henson]
2131
2132 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2133 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2134 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2135 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2136 [Steve Henson]
2137
2138 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2139 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2140 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2141 [Steve Henson]
2142
2143 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2144 [Steve Henson]
2145
2146 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2147 [Steve Henson]
2148
2149 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2150 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2151 [Steve Henson]
2152
2153 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2154 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2155 [Steve Henson]
2156
2157 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2158 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2159 [Steve Henson]
2160
2161 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2162 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2163 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2164 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2165 and rename any affected symbols.
2166 [Steve Henson]
2167
2168 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2169 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2170 [Steve Henson]
2171
2172 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2173 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2174 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2175 [Steve Henson]
2176
2177 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2178 [Steve Henson]
2179
2180 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2181 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2182 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2183 [Steve Henson]
2184
2185 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2186 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2187 [Steve Henson]
2188
2189 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2190 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2191 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2192 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2193 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2194 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2195 set before the key.
2196 [Steve Henson]
2197
2198 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2199 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2200 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2201 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2202 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2203 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2204 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2205 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2206 [Steve Henson]
2207
2208 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2209 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2213
2214 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2215 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2216
2217 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2218 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2219 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2220 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2221 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2222 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2223
2224 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2225 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2226 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2227 security.
2228 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2229
2230 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2231 parameters by name.
2232 [Steve Henson]
2233
2234 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2235 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2236 [Steve Henson]
2237
2238 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2239 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2240 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2241 [Steve Henson]
2242
2243 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2244 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2245 multi-process servers.
2246 [Steve Henson]
2247
2248 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2249 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2250 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2251 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2252 RAND_METHOD structure.
2253 [Steve Henson]
2254
2255 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2256 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2257 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2258 whose return value is often ignored.
2259 [Steve Henson]
2260
2261 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2262 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2263 validated when establishing a connection.
2264 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
2265
2266 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2267
2268 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2269
2270 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2271 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2272 AES-NI.
2273
2274 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2275 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2276 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2277 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2278 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2279 bytes.
2280
2281 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2282 (CVE-2016-2107)
2283 [Kurt Roeckx]
2284
2285 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2286
2287 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2288 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2289 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2290 corruption.
2291
2292 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2293 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2294 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2295 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2296 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2297 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2298
2299 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2300 (CVE-2016-2105)
2301 [Matt Caswell]
2302
2303 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2304
2305 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2306 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2307 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2308 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2309 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2310 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2311 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2312 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2313 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2314 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2315 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2316 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2317 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2318 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2319 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2320 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2321
2322 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2323 (CVE-2016-2106)
2324 [Matt Caswell]
2325
2326 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2327
2328 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2329 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2330 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2331
2332 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2333 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2334 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2335 applications are not affected.
2336
2337 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2338 (CVE-2016-2109)
2339 [Stephen Henson]
2340
2341 *) EBCDIC overread
2342
2343 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2344 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2345 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2346
2347 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2348 (CVE-2016-2176)
2349 [Matt Caswell]
2350
2351 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2352 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2353 [Todd Short]
2354
2355 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2356 default.
2357 [Kurt Roeckx]
2358
2359 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2360 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2361 [Kurt Roeckx]
2362
2363 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2364
2365 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2366 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2367 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2368 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2369
2370 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2371 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2372 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2373 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2374 will need to explicitly call either of:
2375
2376 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2377 or
2378 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2379
2380 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2381 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2382 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2383 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2384 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2385 (CVE-2016-0800)
2386 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2387
2388 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2389
2390 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2391 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2392 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2393 considered rare.
2394
2395 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2396 libFuzzer.
2397 (CVE-2016-0705)
2398 [Stephen Henson]
2399
2400 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2401
2402 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2403
2404 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2405 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2406 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2407 is configured.
2408
2409 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2410 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2411 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2412 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2413 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2414 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2415 that of a valid user.
2416 (CVE-2016-0798)
2417 [Emilia Käsper]
2418
2419 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2420
2421 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2422 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2423 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2424 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2425 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2426 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2427 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2428 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2429 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2430 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2431 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2432
2433 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2434 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2435 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2436 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2437 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2438
2439 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2440 (CVE-2016-0797)
2441 [Matt Caswell]
2442
2443 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2444
2445 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2446 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2447 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2448
2449 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2450 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2451 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2452 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2453 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2454 also occur.
2455
2456 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2457 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2458 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2459 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2460 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2461 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2462 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2463 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2464 as command line arguments.
2465
2466 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2467 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2468 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2469
2470 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2471 (CVE-2016-0799)
2472 [Matt Caswell]
2473
2474 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2475
2476 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2477 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2478 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2479 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2480 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.

2482 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2483 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

2487 [Andy Polyakov]
2488
2489 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2490 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2491 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2492 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2495 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2496 *) DH small subgroups
2497
2498 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2499 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2500 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2501 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2502 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2503 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2504 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2505 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2506 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2507 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2508
2509 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2510 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2511 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2512 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2513 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2514
2515 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2516 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2517 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2518 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2519
2520 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2521 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2522
2523 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2524 (CVE-2016-0701)
2525 [Matt Caswell]
2526
2527 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2528
2529 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2530 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2531 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2532 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2540
2541 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2542
2543 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2544 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2545 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2546 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2547 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2548 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2549 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2550 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2551 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2552 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2553 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2554 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2557 (CVE-2015-3193)
2558 [Andy Polyakov]
2559
2560 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2561
2562 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2563 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2564 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2565 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2566 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2567 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2568 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2569 authentication.
2570
2571 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
2572 (CVE-2015-3194)
2573 [Stephen Henson]
2574
2575 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2576
2577 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2578 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2579 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2580 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2581
2582 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2583 libFuzzer.
2584 (CVE-2015-3195)
2585 [Stephen Henson]
2586
2587 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2588 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2589 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2590 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

2597 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
2598
2599 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2600
2601 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2602 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2603 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2604 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2605 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2606 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2607
2608 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2609 (Google/BoringSSL).

2611
2612 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
2613
2614 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
2615 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2616 restored.

2618
2619 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2620
2621 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2622
2623 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2624 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2625 field.
2626
2627 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2628 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2629 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2630 client authentication enabled.
2631
2632 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2633 (CVE-2015-1788)
2634 [Andy Polyakov]
2635
2636 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2637
2638 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2639 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2640 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2641 time string.
2642
2643 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2644 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2645 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2646 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2647 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2648 callbacks.
2649
2650 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2651 independently by Hanno Böck.
2652 (CVE-2015-1789)
2653 [Emilia Käsper]
2654
2655 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2656
2657 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2658 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2659 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2660
2661 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2662 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2663 servers are not affected.
2664
2665 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2666 (CVE-2015-1790)
2667 [Emilia Käsper]
2668
2669 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2670
2671 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2672 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2673 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2674 the CMS code.
2675 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
2676 (CVE-2015-1792)

2678
2679 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2680
2681 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2682 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2683 a double free of the ticket data.
2684 (CVE-2015-1791)
2685 [Matt Caswell]
2686
2687 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the

2692 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2693
2694 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2695
2696 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2697 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2698 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2699
2700 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2701 University.
2702 (CVE-2015-0291)
2703 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2704
2705 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2706
2707 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2708 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2709 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2710 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2711 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2712 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2713 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2714 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2715
2716 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2717 (CVE-2015-0290)
2718 [Matt Caswell]
2719
2720 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2721
2722 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2723 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2724 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2725 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2726 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2727 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2728 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2729 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2730 server.
2731
2732 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2733 (CVE-2015-0207)
2734 [Matt Caswell]
2735
2736 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2737
2738 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2739 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2740 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2741 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2742 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2743 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2744 (CVE-2015-0286)
2745 [Stephen Henson]
2746
2747 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2748
2749 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2750 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2751 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2752 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2753 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2754 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2755 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2756
2757 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2758 (CVE-2015-0208)
2759 [Stephen Henson]
2760
2761 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2762
2763 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2764 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2765 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2766
2767 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2768 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2769 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2770 not affected.
2771 (CVE-2015-0287)
2772 [Stephen Henson]
2773
2774 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2775
2776 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2777 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2778 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2779
2780 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2781 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2782 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2783
2784 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2785 (CVE-2015-0289)
2786 [Emilia Käsper]
2787
2788 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2789
2790 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2791 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2792 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2793
2794 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2795 (OpenSSL development team).
2796 (CVE-2015-0293)
2797 [Emilia Käsper]
2798
2799 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2800
2801 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2802 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2803 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2804 (CVE-2015-1787)
2805 [Matt Caswell]
2806
2807 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2808
2809 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2810 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2811 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2812 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2813 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2814 SSL_client_methodv23)
2815 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2816 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2817
2818 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2819 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2820 output may be predictable.
2821
2822 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2823 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2824
2825 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2826 (CVE-2015-0285)
2827 [Matt Caswell]
2828
2829 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2830
2831 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2832 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2833 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2834 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2835 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2836 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2837
2838 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2839 commit 517073cd4b.
2840 (CVE-2015-0209)
2841 [Matt Caswell]
2842
2843 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2844
2845 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2846 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2847
2848 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.

2854
2855 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2856
2857 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2858 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2859 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2860 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2861 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2862 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2863 [Andy Polyakov]
2864
2865 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2866 (other platforms pending).
2867 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2868
2869 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2870 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2871 [Rob Stradling]
2872
2873 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2874 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2875 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2876 [Bodo Moeller]
2877
2878 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2879 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2880 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2881 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2882 [Andy Polyakov]
2883
2884 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2885 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2886
2887 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2888 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2889 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2890 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2891 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2892
2893 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2894 [Andy Polyakov]
2895
2896 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2897 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2898 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2899 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2900
2901 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2902 RSAZ.
2903 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2904
2905 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2906 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2907 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2908 for TLS encrypt.
2909
2910 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2911 [Andy Polyakov]
2912
2913 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2914 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2915 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2916 [Steve Henson]
2917
2918 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2919 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2920 [Steve Henson]
2921
2922 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2923 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2924 [Steve Henson]
2925
2926 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2927 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2928 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2929 algorithms and include tests cases.
2930 [Steve Henson]
2931
2932 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2933 structure.
2934 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2935
2936 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2937 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2938 [Steve Henson]
2939
2940 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2941 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2942 summary of the connection parameters.
2943 [Steve Henson]
2944
2945 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2946 of connection parameters.
2947 [Steve Henson]
2948
2949 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2950 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2951
2952 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2953 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2957 [Steve Henson]
2958
2959 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2960 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2961 [Steve Henson]
2962
2963 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2964 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2965 [Steve Henson]
2966
2967 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2968 certificates.
2969 [Steve Henson]
2970
2971 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2972 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2973 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2974 [Steve Henson]
2975
2976 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2977 [Steve Henson]
2978
2979 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2980 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2981 [Steve Henson]
2982
2983 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2984 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2985 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2986 tracing.
2987 [Steve Henson]
2988
2989 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2990 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2991 [Steve Henson]
2992
2993 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2994 OID NID.
2995 [Steve Henson]
2996
2997 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2998 client to OpenSSL.
2999 [Steve Henson]
3000
3001 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3002 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3003 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3004 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3005 [Steve Henson]
3006
3007 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3008 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3009 [Steve Henson]
3010
3011 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3012 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3013 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3014 comparison.
3015 [Steve Henson]
3016
3017 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3018 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3019 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3020 use the certificate.
3021 [Steve Henson]
3022
3023 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3024 [Steve Henson]
3025
3026 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3027 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3028 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3029 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3030 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3031 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3032 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3033
3034 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3035 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3036
3037 [Steve Henson]
3038
3039 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3040 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3041 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3045 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3046 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3047 supported signature algorithms.
3048 [Steve Henson]
3049
3050 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3051 [Steve Henson]
3052
3053 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3054 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3055 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3056 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3057 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3058 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3059 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3060 [Steve Henson]
3061
3062 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3063 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3064 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3065 to have similar checks in it.
3066
3067 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3068 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3069 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3070 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3071 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3072 [Steve Henson]
3073
3074 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3075 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3076 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3077 shared signature algorithms.
3078 [Steve Henson]
3079
3080 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3081 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3082 to support them.
3083 [Steve Henson]
3084
3085 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3086 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3087 it couldn't be removed.
3088 [Steve Henson]
3089
3090 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3091 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093
3094 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3095 functions. Add manual page.
3096 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3097
3098 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3099 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3100 a certificate.
3101 [Steve Henson]
3102
3103 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3104 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3105
3106 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3107 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3108 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3109 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3110 utility) or reject.
3111 [Steve Henson]
3112
3113 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3114 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3115 [Steve Henson]
3116
3117 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3118 platform support for Linux and Android.
3119 [Andy Polyakov]
3120
3121 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3122 [Andy Polyakov]
3123
3124 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3125 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3126 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3127 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3128 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3129 [Steve Henson]
3130
3131 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3132 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3133 the new parameter format automatically.
3134 [Steve Henson]
3135
3136 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3137 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3138 [Steve Henson]
3139
3140 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3141 [Steve Henson]
3142
3143 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3144 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3145 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3146 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3147 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3148 [Steve Henson]
3149
3150 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3151 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3152 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3153 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3154 to set list of supported curves.
3155 [Steve Henson]
3156
3157 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3158 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3159 to print out received values.
3160 [Steve Henson]
3161
3162 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3163 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3164 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3165 [Steve Henson]
3166
3167 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3168 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3169 [Steve Henson]
3170
3171 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3172 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3176 certificates.
3177 [Steve Henson]
3178
3179 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3180 the certificate.
3181 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3182 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3183 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3184
3185 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3186
3187 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3188 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3189
3190 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3191
3192 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3193 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3194 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3195 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3196 (CVE-2014-3571)
3197 [Steve Henson]
3198
3199 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3200 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3201 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3202 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3203 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3204 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3205 (CVE-2015-0206)
3206 [Matt Caswell]
3207
3208 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3209 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3210 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3211 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3212 (CVE-2014-3569)
3213 [Kurt Roeckx]
3214
3215 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3216 ECDH ciphersuites.
3217
3218 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3219 reporting this issue.
3220 (CVE-2014-3572)
3221 [Steve Henson]
3222
3223 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3224 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3225 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3226 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3227 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3228 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3229 (CVE-2015-0204)
3230 [Steve Henson]
3231
3232 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3233 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3234 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3235 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3236 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3237 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3238 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3239 this issue.
3240 (CVE-2015-0205)
3241 [Steve Henson]
3242
3243 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3244 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3245
3246 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3247 and can vary with the CTX.
3248 [Adam Langley]
3249
3250 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3251
3252 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3253 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3254 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3255 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3256 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3257
3258 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3259
3260 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3261 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3262
3263 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3264
3265 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3266 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3267 errors for some broken certificates.
3268
3269 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3270
3271 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3272
3273 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3274 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3275
3276 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3277 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3278 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3279 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3280
3281 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3282 of the OpenSSL core team.
3283
3284 (CVE-2014-8275)
3285 [Steve Henson]
3286
3287 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3288 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3289 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3290 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3291 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3292 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3293 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3294 the OpenSSL core team.
3295 (CVE-2014-3570)
3296 [Andy Polyakov]
3297
3298 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3299 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3300 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3301 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3302 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3303
3304 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3305 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3306 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3307 [Emilia Käsper]
3308
3309 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3310 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3311 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3312 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3313 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3314
3315 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3316 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3317 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3318 [Emilia Käsper]
3319
3320 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3321
3322 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3323
3324 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3325 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3326 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3327 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3328 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3329 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3330 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3331
3332 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3333 (CVE-2014-3513)
3334 [OpenSSL team]
3335
3336 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3337
3338 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3339 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3340 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3341 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3342 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3343 attack.
3344 (CVE-2014-3567)
3345 [Steve Henson]
3346
3347 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3348
3349 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3350 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3351 configured to send them.
3352 (CVE-2014-3568)
3353 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3354
3355 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3356 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3357 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3358 (CVE-2014-3566)
3359 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3360
3361 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3362
3363 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3364 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3365 DigestInfo structures.
3366
3367 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3368
3369 [Steve Henson]
3370
3371 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3372
3373 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3374 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3375 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3376
3377 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3378 Group for discovering this issue.
3379 (CVE-2014-3512)
3380 [Steve Henson]
3381
3382 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3383 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3384 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3385 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3386 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3387
3388 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3389 researching this issue.
3390 (CVE-2014-3511)
3391 [David Benjamin]
3392
3393 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3394 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3395 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3396 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3397
3398 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3399 issue.
3400 (CVE-2014-3510)
3401 [Emilia Käsper]
3402
3403 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3404 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3405 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3406 (CVE-2014-3507)
3407 [Adam Langley]
3408
3409 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3410 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3411 Denial of Service attack.
3412 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3413 (CVE-2014-3506)
3414 [Adam Langley]
3415
3416 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3417 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3418 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3419 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3420 this issue.
3421 (CVE-2014-3505)
3422 [Adam Langley]
3423
3424 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3425 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3426 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3427
3428 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3429 issue.
3430 (CVE-2014-3509)
3431 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3432
3433 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3434 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3435 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3436 Denial of Service attack.
3437
3438 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3439 discovering and researching this issue.
3440 (CVE-2014-5139)
3441 [Steve Henson]
3442
3443 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3444 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3445 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3446 output to the attacker.
3447
3448 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3449 (CVE-2014-3508)
3450 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3451
3452 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3453 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3454 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3455 [Bodo Moeller]
3456
3457 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3458
3459 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3460 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3461 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3462
3463 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3464 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3465 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3466
3467 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3468 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3469 in a DoS attack.
3470
3471 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3472 (CVE-2014-0221)
3473 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3474
3475 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3476 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3477 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3478 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3479
3480 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3481 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3482
3483 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3484 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3485
3486 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3487 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3488 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3489
3490 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3491 compilation flags.
3492 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3493
3494 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3495 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3496 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3497
3498 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3499 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3500
3501 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3502
3503 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3504 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3505 server.
3506
3507 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3508 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3509 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3510 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3511
3512 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3513 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3514 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3515 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3516
3517 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3518 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3519 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3520
3521 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3522
3523 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3524 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3525 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3526 is at least 512 bytes long.
3527
3528 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3529
3530 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3531
3532 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3533 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3534 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3535 (CVE-2013-4353)
3536
3537 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3538 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3539 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3540 [Steve Henson]
3541
3542 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3543 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3544 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3545 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3546 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3547 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3548 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3549
3550 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3551
3552 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3553 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3554 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3555
3556 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3557
3558 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3559
3560 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3561 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3562 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3563
3564 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3565 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3566 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3567 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3568 (CVE-2013-0169)
3569 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3570
3571 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3572 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3573 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3574 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3575 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3576 (CVE-2012-2686)
3577 [Adam Langley]
3578
3579 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3580 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3581 [Steve Henson]
3582
3583 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3584 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3585
3586 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3587 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3588 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3589 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3590 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3591
3592 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3593 [Steve Henson]
3594
3595 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3596 if renegotiating.
3597 [Steve Henson]
3598
3599 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3600
3601 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3602 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3603
3604 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3605 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3606 (CVE-2012-2333)
3607 [Steve Henson]
3608
3609 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3610 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3611 [Steve Henson]
3612
3613 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3614 approved.
3615 [Steve Henson]
3616
3617 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3618
3619 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3620 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3621 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3622 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3623 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3624 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3625 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3626 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3627 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3628 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3629 [Steve Henson]
3630
3631 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3632 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3633 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3634 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3635 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3636 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3637 client side.
3638 [Andy Polyakov]
3639
3640 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3641
3642 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3643 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3644 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3645
3646 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3647 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3648 (CVE-2012-2110)
3649 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3650
3651 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3652 [Adam Langley]
3653
3654 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3655 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3656
3657 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3658 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3659 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3660 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3661 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3662 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3663 Most broken servers should now work.
3664 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3665 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3666 [Steve Henson]
3667
3668 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3669 [Andy Polyakov]
3670
3671 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3672
3673 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3674 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3675 [Steve Henson]
3676
3677 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3678 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3679 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3680 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3681 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3682 [Steve Henson]
3683
3684 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3685 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3686 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3687 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3688 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3689 [Steve Henson]
3690
3691 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3692 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3693
3694 *) Add support for SCTP.
3695 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3696
3697 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3698 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3699
3700 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3701
3702 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3703 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3704 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3705 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3706 - s390x: z196 support;
3707 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3708
3709 [Andy Polyakov]
3710
3711 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3712 (removal of unnecessary code)
3713 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3714
3715 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3716 [Eric Rescorla]
3717
3718 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3719 [Eric Rescorla]
3720
3721 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3722 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3723 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3724 by Google.
3725 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3726
3727 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3728 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3729 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3730 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3731 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3732
3733 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3734 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3735 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3736
3737 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3738 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3739 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3740
3741 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3742 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3743 implementations).
3744 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3745
3746 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3747 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3748 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3749 [Steve Henson]
3750
3751 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3752 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3753 particular PSS.
3754 [Steve Henson]
3755
3756 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3757 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3758 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3759 [Steve Henson]
3760
3761 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3762 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3763 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3764 the appropriate parameters.
3765 [Steve Henson]
3766
3767 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3768 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3769 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3770 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3771 against a number of sample certificates.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3775 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3776
3777 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3778 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3779
3780 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3781 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3782 parameters r, s.
3783 [Steve Henson]
3784
3785 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3786 RFC3211.
3787 [Steve Henson]
3788
3789 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3790 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3791 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3792 password based CMS).
3793 [Steve Henson]
3794
3795 *) Session-handling fixes:
3796 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3797 but also support Session Tickets.
3798 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3799 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3800 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3801 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3802 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3803 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3804
3805 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3806 [Bodo Moeller]
3807
3808 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3809
3810 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3811 [Andy Polyakov]
3812
3813 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3814 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3815 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3816 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3817 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3818 [Steve Henson]
3819
3820 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3821 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3822 [Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3825 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3826 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3827 [Steve Henson]
3828
3829 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3830 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3831 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3832 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3833 [Steve Henson]
3834
3835 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3836 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3837 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3838 [Steve Henson]
3839
3840 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3841 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3844 [Steve Henson]
3845
3846 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3847 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3848 [Steve Henson]
3849
3850 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3851 [Steve Henson]
3852
3853 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3854 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3855 [Steve Henson]
3856
3857 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3858 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3859 [Steve Henson]
3860
3861 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3862 [Steve Henson]
3863
3864 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3865 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3866 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3867 [Steve Henson]
3868
3869 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3870 [Steve Henson]
3871
3872 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3873 [Steve Henson]
3874
3875 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3876 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3877 [Steve Henson]
3878
3879 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3880 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3881 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3882 [Steve Henson]
3883
3884 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3885 [Steve Henson]
3886
3887 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3888 and enable MD5.
3889 [Steve Henson]
3890
3891 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3892 FIPS modules versions.
3893 [Steve Henson]
3894
3895 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3896 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3897 until after the certificate request message is received.
3898 [Steve Henson]
3899
3900 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3901 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3902 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3903 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3904 [Steve Henson]
3905
3906 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3907 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3908 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3909 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3910 [Steve Henson]
3911
3912 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3913 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3914 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3915 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3916 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3917 and version checking.
3918 [Steve Henson]
3919
3920 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3921 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3922 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3923 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3924 [Steve Henson]
3925
3926 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3927 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3928 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3929 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3930 Ben Laurie]
3931
3932 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3933 [Steve Henson]
3934
3935 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3936 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3937 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3938
3939 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3940 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3941 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3942 [Steve Henson]
3943
3944 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3945 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3946
3947 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3948 a few changes are required:
3949
3950 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3951 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3952 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3953 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3954 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3955 [Steve Henson]
3956
3957 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3958
3959 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3960 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3961 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3962 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3963 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3964 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3965 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3966 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3967 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3968 [Steve Henson]
3969
3970 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3971 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3972 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3973 [Steve Henson]
3974
3975 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3976
3977 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3978 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3979 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3980 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3981 [Antonio Martin]
3982
3983 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3984
3985 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3986 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3987 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3988 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3989 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3990 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3991 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3992 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3993 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3994 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3995 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3996 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3997 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3998
3999 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4000 (CVE-2011-4576)
4001 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4002
4003 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4004 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4005 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4006 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4007
4008 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4009 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4010
4011 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4012 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4013 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4014 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4015
4016 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4017 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4018
4019 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4020 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4021
4022 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4023 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4024
4025 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4026 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4027 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4028
4029 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4030 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4031 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4032
4033 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4034 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4035 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4036 the last update always remained unused).
4037 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4038
4039 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4040 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4041
4042 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4043
4044 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4045 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4046 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4047
4048 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4049 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4050 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4051
4052 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4053 [Bodo Moeller]
4054
4055 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4056 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4057 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4058 [Steve Henson]
4059
4060 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4061 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4062
4063 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4064
4065 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4066
4067 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4068
4069 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4070 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4071
4072 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4073 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4074 ambiguous.
4075 [Steve Henson]
4076
4077 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4078
4079 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4080 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4081 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4082 [Steve Henson]
4083
4084 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4085 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4086 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4087 [Ben Laurie]
4088
4089 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4090
4091 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4092 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4093 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4094 [Steve Henson]
4095
4096 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4097 a DLL.
4098 [Steve Henson]
4099
4100 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4101
4102 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4103 (CVE-2010-1633)
4104 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4105
4106 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4107
4108 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4109 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4110 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4111 [Steve Henson]
4112
4113 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4114 [Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4117 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4118 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4119
4120 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4121 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4122 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4123 [Steve Henson]
4124
4125 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4126 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4130 some responders need this.
4131 [Steve Henson]
4132
4133 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4134 correctly.
4135 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4136
4137 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4138 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4139 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4140 [Steve Henson]
4141
4142 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4143 [Steve Henson]
4144
4145 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4146 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4147 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4148 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4149 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4150 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4151 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4152 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4153 [Steve Henson]
4154
4155 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4156 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4157 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4158 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4159
4160 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4161 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4162
4163 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4164 be used on C++.
4165 [Steve Henson]
4166
4167 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4168 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4169 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4170 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4171 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4172 attempting to work them out.
4173 [Steve Henson]
4174
4175 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4176 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4177 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4178 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4179 [Steve Henson]
4180
4181 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4182 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4183 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4184 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4185 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4186 [Steve Henson]
4187
4188 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4189 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4190 you can do:
4191
4192 openssl sha256 foo
4193
4194 as well as:
4195
4196 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4197
4198 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4199
4200 [Steve Henson]
4201
4202 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4203 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4204
4205 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4206 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4207
4208 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4209 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4210 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4211 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4212 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4213 [Steve Henson]
4214
4215 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4216 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4217 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4218 [Steve Henson]
4219
4220 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4221 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4222 [Steve Henson]
4223
4224 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4225 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4226
4227 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4228 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4229 [Steve Henson]
4230
4231 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4232 [Ben Laurie]
4233
4234 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4235 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4236 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4237 CONF_VALUE.
4238 [Ben Laurie]
4239
4240 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4241 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4242 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4243 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4244 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4245 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4246 [Steve Henson]
4247
4248 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4249 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4250
4251 This work was sponsored by Google.
4252 [Steve Henson]
4253
4254 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4255 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4256 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4257 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4258 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4259 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4260 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4261 default.
4262
4263 This work was sponsored by Google.
4264 [Steve Henson]
4265
4266 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4267
4268 This work was sponsored by Google.
4269 [Steve Henson]
4270
4271 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4272 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4273 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4274 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4275
4276 This work was sponsored by Google.
4277 [Steve Henson]
4278
4279 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4280 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4281 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4282 CRL functionality in future.
4283
4284 This work was sponsored by Google.
4285 [Steve Henson]
4286
4287 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4288
4289 This work was sponsored by Google.
4290 [Steve Henson]
4291
4292 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4293 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4294
4295 This work was sponsored by Google.
4296 [Steve Henson]
4297
4298 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4299 and URI types are currently supported.
4300
4301 This work was sponsored by Google.
4302 [Steve Henson]
4303
4304 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4305 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4306 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4307 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4308 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4309 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4310 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4311 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4312
4313 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4314 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4315 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4316
4317 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4318 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4319 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4320 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4321
4322 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4323 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4324 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4325 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4326 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4327 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4328 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4329 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4330 of &errno.)
4331 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4332
4333 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4334 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4335 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4336
4337 This work was sponsored by Google.
4338 [Steve Henson]
4339
4340 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4341 [Ben Laurie]
4342
4343 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4344 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4345 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4346 [Ben Laurie]
4347
4348 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4349 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4350 [Nick Mathewson]
4351
4352 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4353 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4354 [Ben Laurie]
4355
4356 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4357 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4358 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4359 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4360 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4361 content types and variants.
4362 [Steve Henson]
4363
4364 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4365 [Steve Henson]
4366
4367 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4368 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4369 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4370 files from the associated perl scripts.
4371 [Steve Henson]
4372
4373 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4374 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4375 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4376
4377 *) s390x assembler pack.
4378 [Andy Polyakov]
4379
4380 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4381 "family."
4382 [Andy Polyakov]
4383
4384 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4385 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4386 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4387 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4388 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4389 to use. For example, specify an option
4390
4391 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4392
4393 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4394 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4395 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4396 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4397 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4398 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4399
4400 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4401 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4402 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4403 return non-zero for success.
4404
4405 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4406 by using
4407
4408 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4409 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4410
4411 where
4412
4413 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4414 void *arg;
4415
4416 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4417 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4418 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4419 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4420 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4421 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4422 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4423 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4424 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4425
4426 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4427 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4428 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4429 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4430 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4431 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4432
4433 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4434 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4435 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4436 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4437 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4438 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4439
4440 [Bodo Moeller]
4441
4442 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4443 MAC.
4444
4445 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4446
4447 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4448 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4449 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4450 supported.
4451
4452 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4453 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4454 SSL_SESSION.
4455
4456 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4457 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4458 with no application modification.
4459
4460 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4461 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4462
4463 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4464 or server extensions to be examined.
4465
4466 This work was sponsored by Google.
4467 [Steve Henson]
4468
4469 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4470 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4471 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4472
4473 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4474 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4475 ciphersuite support.
4476 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4477
4478 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4479 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4480 to output in BER and PEM format.
4481 [Steve Henson]
4482
4483 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4484 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4485 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4486 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4487 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4488 [Steve Henson]
4489
4490 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4491 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4492 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4493 utility.
4494 [Steve Henson]
4495
4496 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4497 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4498 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4499 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4500 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4501 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4502 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4503 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4504 enabled again.
4505
4506 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4507 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4508 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4509 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4510
4511 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4512 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4513 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4514 the default order.
4515 [Bodo Moeller]
4516
4517 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4518 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4519 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4520 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4521 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4522 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4523 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4524 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4525 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4526
4527 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4528 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4529 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4530 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4531 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4532 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4533 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4534 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4535 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4536 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4537 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4538 kinds of kludges.
4539
4540 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4541 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4542 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4543
4544 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4545 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4546 "CAMELLIA256".
4547 [Bodo Moeller]
4548
4549 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4550 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4551 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4552 [Nils Larsch]
4553
4554 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4555 it yet and it is largely untested.
4556 [Steve Henson]
4557
4558 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4559 [Nils Larsch]
4560
4561 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4562 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4563 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4564 [Steve Henson]
4565
4566 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4567 [Andy Polyakov]
4568
4569 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4570 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4571 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4572 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4573 [Steve Henson]
4574
4575 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4576 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4577 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4578 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4579 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4580 [Steve Henson]
4581
4582 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4583 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4584 [Cryptocom]
4585
4586 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4587 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4588 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4589 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4590 [Steve Henson]
4591
4592 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4593 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4594 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4595 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4596 [Steve Henson]
4597
4598 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4599 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4600 [Steve Henson]
4601
4602 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4603 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4604 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4605 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4606 [Steve Henson]
4607
4608 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4609 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4610 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4611 [Steve Henson]
4612
4613 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4614 utility.
4615 [Steve Henson]
4616
4617 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4618 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4619 [Steve Henson]
4620
4621 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4622 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4623 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4624 if necessary.
4625 [Steve Henson]
4626
4627 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4628 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4629 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4630 [Steve Henson]
4631
4632 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4633 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4634 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4635 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4636 [Steve Henson]
4637
4638 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4639 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4640 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4641 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4642 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4643 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4644 [Douglas Stebila]
4645
4646 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4647 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4648 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4649 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4650 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4651
4652 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4653 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4654 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4655 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4656 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4657 protocol).
4658
4659 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4660 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4661 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4662 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4663
4664 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4665 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4666 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4667 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4668 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4669
4670 aECDH - ECDH cert
4671 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4672 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4673
4674 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4675 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4676
4677 [Bodo Moeller]
4678
4679 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4680 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4681 [Steve Henson]
4682
4683 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4684 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4685 [Steve Henson]
4686
4687 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4688 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4689 functional reference processing.
4690 [Steve Henson]
4691
4692 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4693 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4694 process.
4695 [Steve Henson]
4696
4697 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4698 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4699 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4700 [Steve Henson]
4701
4702 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4703 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4704 application to support multiple signers.
4705 [Steve Henson]
4706
4707 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4708 digest MAC.
4709 [Steve Henson]
4710
4711 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4712 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4713 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4714 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4715 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4716 [Steve Henson]
4717
4718 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4719 new API.
4720 [Steve Henson]
4721
4722 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4723 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4724 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4725 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4726 a no op.
4727 [Steve Henson]
4728
4729 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4730 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4731 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4732 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4733 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4734 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4735 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4736 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4737 [Steve Henson]
4738
4739 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4740 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4741 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4742 between digests and public key types.
4743 [Steve Henson]
4744
4745 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4746 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4747 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4748 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4749 [Steve Henson]
4750
4751 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4752 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4753 key ASN1 method.
4754 [Steve Henson]
4755
4756 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4757 [Steve Henson]
4758
4759 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4760 pkeyutl.
4761 [Steve Henson]
4762
4763 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4764 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4765 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4766 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4767 pkey, genpkey.
4768 [Steve Henson]
4769
4770 *) BeOS support.
4771 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4772
4773 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4774 manual pages.
4775 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4776
4777 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4778 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4779 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4780 functionality for RSA.
4781 [Steve Henson]
4782
4783 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4784 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4785 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4786 [Steve Henson]
4787
4788 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4789 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4790 [Steve Henson]
4791
4792 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4793 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4794 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4795 [Steve Henson]
4796
4797 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4798 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4799 [Douglas Stebila]
4800
4801 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4802 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4803 [Steve Henson]
4804
4805 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4806 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4807 type.
4808 [Steve Henson]
4809
4810 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4811 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4812 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4813 structure.
4814 [Steve Henson]
4815
4816 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4817 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4818 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4819 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4820 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4821 of public and private key structures.
4822 [Steve Henson]
4823
4824 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4825 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4826 [Douglas Stebila]
4827
4828 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4829 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4830 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4831
4832 New ciphersuites:
4833 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4834 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4835
4836 New functions:
4837 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4838 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4839 SSL_get_psk_identity
4840 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4841
4842 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4843
4844 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4845 and response verification functionality.
4846 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4847
4848 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4849 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4850 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4851 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4852 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4853 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4854 server_name extension.
4855
4856 New functions (subject to change):
4857
4858 SSL_get_servername()
4859 SSL_get_servername_type()
4860 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4861
4862 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4863
4864 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4865 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4866 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4867 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4868 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4869
4870 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4871
4872 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4873 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4874 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4875 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4876 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4877 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4878 option.
4879
4880 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4881
4882 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4883 [Andy Polyakov]
4884
4885 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4886 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4887 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4888 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4889 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4890 [Andy Polyakov]
4891
4892 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4893 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4894 macro.
4895 [Bodo Moeller]
4896
4897 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4898 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4899 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4900 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4901 [Andy Polyakov]
4902
4903 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4904 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4905 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4906 using the maximum available value.
4907 [Steve Henson]
4908
4909 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4910 in addition to the text details.
4911 [Bodo Moeller]
4912
4913 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4914 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4915 handle several customised structures at all.
4916 [Steve Henson]
4917
4918 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4919 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4920 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4921 [Steve Henson]
4922
4923 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4924 [Steve Henson]
4925
4926 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4927 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4928 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4929 [Steve Henson]
4930
4931 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4932 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4933 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4934 [Nils Larsch]
4935
4936 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4937 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4938 all fields.
4939 [Steve Henson]
4940
4941 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4942 [Steve Henson]
4943
4944 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4945 [NTT]
4946
4947 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4948
4949 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4950 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4951 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4952 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4953 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4954 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4955 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4956 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4957
4958 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4959 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4960 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4961
4962 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4963
4964 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4965 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4966
4967 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4968 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4969 [Bodo Moeller]
4970
4971 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4972 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4973 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4974 [Steve Henson]
4975
4976 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4977 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4978 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4979 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4980 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4981 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4982 [Steve Henson]
4983
4984 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4985 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4986 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4987 [Steve Henson]
4988
4989 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4990 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4991 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4992 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4993 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4994 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4995 CVE-2009-4355.
4996 [Steve Henson]
4997
4998 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4999 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5000 [Bodo Moeller]
5001
5002 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5003 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5004 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5005 [Steve Henson]
5006
5007 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5008 [Steve Henson]
5009
5010 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5011 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5012 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5013 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5014 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5015 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5016 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5017 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5018 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5019 [Steve Henson]
5020
5021 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5022 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5023 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5024 [Steve Henson]
5025
5026 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5027 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5028 [Steve Henson]
5029
5030 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5031 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5032 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5033 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5034 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5035 know what you are doing.
5036 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5037
5038 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5039 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5040 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5041 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5042 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5043 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5044 the handshake.
5045 [Steve Henson]
5046
5047 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5048 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5049 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5050 correctly.
5051 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5052
5053 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5054 warnings in other configurations.
5055 [Steve Henson]
5056
5057 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5058 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5059 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5060 systems need.
5061 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5062
5063 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5064 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5065 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5066
5067 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5068 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5069 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5070 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5071 [Steve Henson]
5072
5073 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5074 and restored.
5075 [Steve Henson]
5076
5077 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5078 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5079 clash.
5080 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5081
5082 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5083 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5084 other than a simple chain.
5085 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5086
5087 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5088 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5089 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5090 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5091 [Steve Henson]
5092
5093 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5094 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5095 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5096 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5097 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5098 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5099 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5100 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5101 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5102
5103 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5104 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5105 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5106 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5107 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5108 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5109 (CVE-2009-1377)
5110 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5111
5112 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5113 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5114 [Daniel Mentz]
5115
5116 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5117 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5118
5119 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5120 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5121
5122 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5123
5124 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5125 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5126 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5127 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5128 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5129 you're doing.
5130 [Ben Laurie]
5131
5132 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5133
5134 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5135 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5136 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5137 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5138
5139 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5140 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5141 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5142 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5143
5144 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5145 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5146 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5147 [Steve Henson]
5148
5149 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5150 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5151 level.
5152 [Steve Henson]
5153
5154 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5155 to handle some structures.
5156 [Steve Henson]
5157
5158 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5159 for a '\n'
5160 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5161
5162 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5163 [Matthieu Herrb]
5164
5165 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5166 [Steve Henson]
5167
5168 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5169 [Steve Henson]
5170
5171 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5172 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5173 chosen compiler.
5174 [Ben Laurie]
5175
5176 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5177
5178 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5179 (CVE-2008-5077).
5180 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5181
5182 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5183 [Ben Laurie]
5184
5185 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5186 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5187 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5188 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5189
5190 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5191 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5192
5193 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5194 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5195 [Bodo Moeller]
5196
5197 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5198 s_client and s_server.
5199 [Ben Laurie]
5200
5201 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5202 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5203
5204 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5205 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5206
5207 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5208 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5209 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5210 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5211 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5212 [Bodo Moeller]
5213
5214 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5215
5216 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5217 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5218 [PR #1679]
5219
5220 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5221 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5222 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5223
5224 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5225 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5226 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5227 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5228
5229 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5230 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5231
5232 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5233
5234 *) Various precautionary measures:
5235
5236 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5237
5238 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5239 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5240 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5241
5242 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5243 outside the expected range.
5244
5245 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5246 builds.
5247
5248 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5249
5250 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5251 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5252 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5253
5254 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5255 [Steve Henson]
5256
5257 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5258 [Huang Ying]
5259
5260 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5261
5262 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5263 [Steve Henson]
5264
5265 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5266 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5267 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5268
5269 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5270 [Steve Henson]
5271
5272 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5273 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5274 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5275 files.
5276 [Steve Henson]
5277
5278 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5279
5280 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5281 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5282 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5283 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5284
5285 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5286 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5287 [Joe Orton]
5288
5289 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5290
5291 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5292 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5293 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5294
5295 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5296
5297 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5298 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5299 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5300 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5301 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5302
5303 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5304 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5305 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5306 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5307 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5308 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5309 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5310
5311 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5312
5313 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5314 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5315 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5316 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5317 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5318
5319 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5320 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5321
5322 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5323 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5324 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5325 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5326 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5327
5328 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5329
5330 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5331 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5332 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5333 sets may exist with different names.
5334 [Steve Henson]
5335
5336 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5337 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5338 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5339 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5340 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5341 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5342 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5343 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5344 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5345 implementation.
5346 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5347
5348 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5349 implementation in the following ways:
5350
5351 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5352 hard coded.
5353
5354 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5355 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5356 ignored for embedded content.
5357
5358 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5359 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5360 [Steve Henson]
5361
5362 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5363 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5364 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5365 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5366
5367 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5368 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5369 [Steve Henson]
5370
5371 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5372 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5373 [Steve Henson]
5374
5375 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5376 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5377 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5378 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5379 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5380 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5381 data.
5382 [Steve Henson]
5383
5384 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5385 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5386 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5387
5388 *) Netware support:
5389
5390 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5391 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5392 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5393 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5394 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5395 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5396 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5397 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5398 platform
5399 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5400 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5401 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5402 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5403 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5404 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5405 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5406
5407 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5408 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5409 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5410 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5411 to s_client and s_server.
5412 [Steve Henson]
5413
5414 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5415
5416 *) Fix various bugs:
5417 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5418 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5419 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5420 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5421 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5422
5423 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5424
5425 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5426 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5427 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5428 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5429 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5430 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5431 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5432 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5433 [Andy Polyakov]
5434
5435 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5436 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5437 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5438 Steve Henson]
5439
5440 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5441 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5442 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5443 supported.
5444
5445 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5446 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5447 SSL_SESSION.
5448
5449 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5450 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5451 with no application modification.
5452
5453 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5454 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5455
5456 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5457 or server extensions to be examined.
5458
5459 This work was sponsored by Google.
5460 [Steve Henson]
5461
5462 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5463 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5464 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5465 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5466 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5467 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5468 server_name extension.
5469
5470 New functions (subject to change):
5471
5472 SSL_get_servername()
5473 SSL_get_servername_type()
5474 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5475
5476 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5477
5478 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5479 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5480 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5481 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5482 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5483
5484 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5485
5486 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5487 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5488 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5489 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5490 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5491 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5492 option.
5493
5494 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5495
5496 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5497 [Steve Henson]
5498
5499 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5500 [Andy Polyakov]
5501
5502 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5503 (which previously caused an internal error).
5504 [Bodo Moeller]
5505
5506 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5507 [Ben Laurie]
5508
5509 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5510 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5511
5512 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5513 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5514 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5515
5516 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5517 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5518 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5519 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5520
5521 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5522 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5523 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5524 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5525
5526 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5527 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5528 information. For detailed background information, see
5529 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5530 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5531 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5532 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5533 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5534 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5535 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5536 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5537 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5538 remove a conditional branch.
5539
5540 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5541 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5542 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5543 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5544 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5545 remains as a deprecated alias.
5546
5547 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5548 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5549 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5550 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5551
5552 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5553 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5554 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5555 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5556 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5557 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5558 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5559 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5560
5561 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5562
5563 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5564 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5565 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5566 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5567 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5568 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5569 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5570 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5571 in a different context.
5572 [Bodo Moeller]
5573
5574 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5575 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5576 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5577 [Bodo Moeller]
5578
5579 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5580 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5581 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5582
5583 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5584
5585 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5586 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5587 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5588 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5589 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5590 [Victor Duchovni]
5591
5592 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5593 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5594 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5595 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5596 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5597 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5598 [Bodo Moeller]
5599
5600 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5601 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5602 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5603 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5604 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5605 [Bodo Moeller]
5606
5607 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5608 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5609
5610 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5611 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5612 Improve header file function name parsing.
5613 [Steve Henson]
5614
5615 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5616 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5617 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5618
5619 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5620
5621 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5622 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5623 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5624
5625 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5626 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5627
5628 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5629 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5630
5631 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5632 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5633 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5634
5635 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5636 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5637 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5638 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5639 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5640 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5641 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5642 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5643 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5644
5645 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5646 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5647 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5648 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5649 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5650
5651 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5652 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5653 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5654 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5655 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5656 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5657 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5658 multiple values to extend the available space.
5659
5660 [Bodo Moeller]
5661
5662 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5663
5664 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5665 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5666
5667 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5668 [Ben Laurie]
5669
5670 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5671 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5672 undesirable limitations.
5673 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5674
5675 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5676 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5677 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5678 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5679 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5680 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5681 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5682 [Bodo Moeller]
5683
5684 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5685
5686 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5687 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5688 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5689
5690 The latter two were purportedly from
5691 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5692 appear there.
5693
5694 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5695 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5696 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5697 [Bodo Moeller]
5698
5699 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5700 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5701 [Bodo Moeller]
5702
5703 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5704 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5705 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5706 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5707
5708 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5709 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5710 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5711 [NTT]
5712
5713 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5714 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5715 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5716 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5717 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5718 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5719 [Steve Henson]
5720
5721 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5722
5723 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5724 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5725 [Steve Henson]
5726
5727 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5728 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5729
5730 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5731 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5732 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5733 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5734 [Douglas Stebila]
5735
5736 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5737 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5738 [Steve Henson]
5739
5740 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5741 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5742 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5743 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5744 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5745 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5746 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5747 can't be loaded.
5748 [Steve Henson]
5749
5750 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5751 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5752 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5753 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5754 [Steve Henson]
5755
5756 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5757 under VC++ build system.
5758 [Steve Henson]
5759
5760 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5761 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5762 [Richard Levitte]
5763
5764 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5765
5766 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5767 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5768 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5769 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5770 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5771
5772 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5773 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5774 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5775
5776 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5777 [Steve Henson]
5778
5779 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5780 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5781 [Nils Larsch]
5782
5783 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5784 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5785
5786 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5787 [Nick Mathewson]
5788
5789 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5790 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5791
5792 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5793 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5794 [Steve Henson]
5795
5796 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5797 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5798 smime utility.
5799 [Steve Henson]
5800
5801 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5802
5803 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5804 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5805
5806 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5807 [Richard Levitte]
5808
5809 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5810 key into the same file any more.
5811 [Richard Levitte]
5812
5813 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5814 [Andy Polyakov]
5815
5816 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5817 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5818
5819 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5820 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5821 [Richard Levitte]
5822
5823 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5824 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5825 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5826 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5827 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5828 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5829
5830 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5831 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5832 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5833 [Steve Henson]
5834
5835 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5836 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5837 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5838 - add new function for parameter creation
5839 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5840 BN_BLINDING parameters
5841 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5842 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5843 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5844 threads.
5845 [Nils Larsch]
5846
5847 *) Add support for DTLS.
5848 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5849
5850 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5851 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5852 [Walter Goulet]
5853
5854 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5855 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5856 [Nils Larsch]
5857
5858 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5859 the apps/openssl applications.
5860 [Nils Larsch]
5861
5862 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5863 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5864 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5865 [Ben Laurie]
5866
5867 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5868 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5869
5870 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5871 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5872
5873 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5874 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5875 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5876 avoid this algorithm.)
5877
5878 [Bodo Moeller]
5879
5880 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5881 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5882 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5883 [Richard Levitte]
5884
5885 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5886 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5887 [Andy Polyakov]
5888
5889 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5890 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5891 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5892 pod file:
5893
5894 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5895
5896 The blank line is mandatory.
5897
5898 [Steve Henson]
5899
5900 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5901 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5902 sources.
5903 [Steve Henson]
5904
5905 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5906 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5907
5908 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5909 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5910 to support policy checking and print out.
5911 [Steve Henson]
5912
5913 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5914 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5915 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5916 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5917
5918 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5919 [Geoff Thorpe]
5920
5921 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5922 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5923
5924 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5925 implementation contributed by IBM.
5926 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5927
5928 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5929 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5930 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5931 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5932
5933 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5934 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5935
5936 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5937 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5938 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5939 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5940 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5941 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5942 [Steve Henson]
5943
5944 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5945 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5946 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5947 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5948 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5949 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5950 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5951 [Geoff Thorpe]
5952
5953 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5954 [Steve Henson]
5955
5956 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5957 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5958 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5959 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5960 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5961 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5962 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5963 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5964 [Steve Henson]
5965
5966 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5967 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5968 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5969 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5970 [Steve Henson]
5971
5972 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5973 syntax:
5974
5975 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5976 [Steve Henson]
5977
5978 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5979 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5980 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5981 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5982 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5983 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5984 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5985 [Geoff Thorpe]
5986
5987 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5988 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5989 [Geoff Thorpe]
5990
5991 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5992 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5993 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5994 [Steve Henson]
5995
5996 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5997 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5998 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5999 below).
6000 [Geoff Thorpe]
6001
6002 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6003 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6004 [Richard Levitte]
6005
6006 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6007 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6008 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6009 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6010 [Geoff Thorpe]
6011
6012 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6013 initialised value as BN_new().
6014 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6015
6016 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6017 [Steve Henson]
6018
6019 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6020 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6021 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6022 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6023 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6024 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6025 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6026 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6027 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6028 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6029 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6030 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6031 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6032 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6033 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6034
6035 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6036 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6037 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6038 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6039 [Geoff Thorpe]
6040
6041 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6042 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6043 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6044 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6045 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6046 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6047 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6048 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6049 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6050 [Geoff Thorpe]
6051
6052 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6053 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6054 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6055 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6056 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6057 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6058 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6059 [Geoff Thorpe]
6060
6061 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6062 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6063 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6064 these have been updated also.
6065 [Geoff Thorpe]
6066
6067 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6068 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6069 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6070 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6071 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6072 functions.
6073 [Steve Henson]
6074
6075 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6076 structure of type "other".
6077 [Steve Henson]
6078
6079 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6080 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6081 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6082 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6083 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6084 situation in the script.
6085 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6086
6087 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6088 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6089 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6090 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6091 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6092 used as premaster secret.
6093 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6094
6095 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6096 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6097 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6098
6099 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6100 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6101
6102 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6103 control of the error stack.
6104 [Richard Levitte]
6105
6106 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6107 [Richard Levitte]
6108
6109 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6110 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6111 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6112 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6113 [Richard Levitte]
6114
6115 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6116 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6117 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6118 [Richard Levitte]
6119
6120 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6121 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6122 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6123 a memory area.
6124 [Richard Levitte]
6125
6126 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6127 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6128 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6129 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6130 [Richard Levitte]
6131
6132 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6133 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6134 the following flags are defined:
6135
6136 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6137 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6138 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6139 number.
6140
6141 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6142 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6143 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6144 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6145 returns zero.
6146 [Richard Levitte]
6147
6148 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6149 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6150 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6151 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6152 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6153 [Richard Levitte]
6154
6155 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6156 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6157 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6158 [Richard Levitte]
6159
6160 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6161 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6162 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6163 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6164 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6165 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6166 [Richard Levitte]
6167
6168 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6169 req and dirName.
6170 [Steve Henson]
6171
6172 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6173 [Steve Henson]
6174
6175 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6176 [Steve Henson]
6177
6178 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6179 [Steve Henson]
6180
6181 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6182 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6183 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6184 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6185 default implementation more easily.
6186 [Geoff Thorpe]
6187
6188 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6189 in config files.
6190 [Steve Henson]
6191
6192 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6193 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6194 [Richard Levitte]
6195
6196 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6197 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6198 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6199 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6200
6201 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6202 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6203 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6204 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6205 [Steve Henson]
6206
6207 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6208 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6209 to do it.
6210 [Richard Levitte]
6211
6212 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6213 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6214 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6215 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6216 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6217 scalar * generator).
6218 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6219
6220 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6221 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6222 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6223 correctly.
6224 [Steve Henson]
6225
6226 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6227 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6228 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6229 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6230 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6231 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6232 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6233 linker additions, eg;
6234 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6235 [Geoff Thorpe]
6236
6237 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6238 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6239 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6240 [Geoff Thorpe]
6241
6242 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6243 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6244 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6245 via PR#459)
6246 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6247
6248 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6249 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6250 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6251 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6252 [Geoff Thorpe]
6253
6254 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6255 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6256 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6257 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6258 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6259 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6260 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6261 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6262 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6263 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6264
6265 Example for using the new callback interface:
6266
6267 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6268 void *my_arg = ...;
6269 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6270
6271 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6272
6273 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6274 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6275 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6276 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6277 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6278 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6279 */
6280
6281 [Geoff Thorpe]
6282
6283 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6284 available to TLS with the number defined in
6285 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6286 [Richard Levitte]
6287
6288 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6289 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6290
6291 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6292 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6293 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6294 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6295
6296 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6297 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6298
6299 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6300 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6301 well.
6302 [Richard Levitte]
6303
6304 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6305 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6306 [Richard Levitte]
6307
6308 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6309 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6310 and a macro that behave like
6311 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6312
6313 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6314 [Nils Larsch]
6315
6316 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6317 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6318 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6319 if applicable.
6320 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6321
6322 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6323 [Bodo Moeller]
6324
6325 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6326 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6327 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6328 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6329 directory engines/.
6330 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6331 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6332 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6333 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6334 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6335 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6336 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6337 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6338
6339 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6340 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6341 [Richard Levitte]
6342
6343 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6344 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6345
6346 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6347 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6348 files while avoiding the low level API.
6349
6350 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6351 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6352 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6353 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6354
6355 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6356 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6357 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6358 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6359 instead of the low level API.
6360 [Steve Henson]
6361
6362 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6363 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6364 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6365 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6366 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6367 PKCS#7 code.
6368
6369 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6370 down to the template encoder.
6371 [Steve Henson]
6372
6373 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6374 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6375 [Bodo Moeller]
6376
6377 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6378 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6379 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6380 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6381
6382 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6383 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6384
6385 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6386 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6387
6388 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6389 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6390 [Bodo Moeller]
6391
6392 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6393 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6394 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6395 [Bodo Moeller]
6396
6397 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6398 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6399
6400 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6401 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6402
6403 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6404 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6405 New EC_METHOD:
6406
6407 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6408
6409 New API functions:
6410
6411 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6412 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6413 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6414 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6415 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6416 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6417
6418 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6419 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6420 enable it).
6421
6422 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6423 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6424 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6425 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6426 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6427 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6428 various internal method names.)
6429
6430 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6431 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6432
6433 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6434 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6435
6436 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6437 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6438
6439 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6440 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6441 methods are undefined.
6442
6443 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6444 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6445
6446 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6447 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6448 length of the modulus.
6449
6450 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6451 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6452
6453 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6454 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6455
6456 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6457 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6458
6459 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6460 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6461 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6462
6463 BN_GF2m_add
6464 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6465 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6466 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6467 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6468 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6469 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6470 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6471 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6472 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6473
6474 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6475 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6476
6477 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6478 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6479 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6480 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6481 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6482 where
6483 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6484 This applies to the following functions:
6485
6486 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6487 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6488 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6489 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6490 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6491 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6492 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6493 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6494 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6495 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6496
6497 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6498
6499 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6500 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6501
6502 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6503
6504 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6505 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6506 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6507 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6508 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6509
6510 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6511 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6512
6513 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6514 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6515 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6516
6517 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6518 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6519
6520 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6521 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6522 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6523 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6524 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6525
6526 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6527 functions
6528 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6529 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6530 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6531 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6532 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6533 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6534 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6535 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6536 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6537 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6538 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6539 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6540
6541 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6542 functions
6543 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6544 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6545 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6546 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6547 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6548
6549 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6550 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6551 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6552 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6553
6554 *) Add functions
6555 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6556 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6557 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6558 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6559 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6560 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6561 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6562
6563 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6564 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6565 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6566 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6567 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6568 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6569 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6570 adding different types of curves.
6571 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6572
6573 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6574 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6575 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6576 [Bodo Moeller]
6577
6578 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6579 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6580
6581 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6582 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6583 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6584 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6585
6586 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6587
6588 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6589 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6590
6591 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6592 library. Most notably,
6593 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6594 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6595 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6596 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6597 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6598 extracted before the specific public key;
6599 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6600 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6601
6602 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6603 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6604 function
6605 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6606 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6607 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6608 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6609 accessed via
6610 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6611 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6612 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6613
6614 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6615 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6616 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6617 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6618 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6619 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6620 differing sizes.
6621 [Richard Levitte]
6622
6623 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6624
6625 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6626 sensitive data.
6627 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6628
6629 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6630 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6631 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6632 [Bodo Moeller]
6633
6634 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6635 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6636 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6637 [Victor Duchovni]
6638
6639 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6640 [Steve Henson]
6641
6642 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6643 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6644 [Steve Henson]
6645
6646 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6647 run algorithm test programs.
6648 [Steve Henson]
6649
6650 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6651 [Steve Henson]
6652
6653 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6654 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6655 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6656 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6657 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6658 [Bodo Moeller]
6659
6660 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6661 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6662 [Steve Henson]
6663
6664 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6665
6666 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6667 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6668 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6669
6670 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6671 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6672
6673 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6674 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6675
6676 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6677 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6678 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6679
6680 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6681 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6682 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6683 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6684 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6685 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6686 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6687 [Bodo Moeller]
6688
6689 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6690
6691 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6692 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6693
6694 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6695 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6696 undesirable limitations.
6697 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6698
6699 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6700
6701 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6702 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6703 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6704
6705 The latter two were purportedly from
6706 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6707 appear there.
6708
6709 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6710 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6711 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6712 [Bodo Moeller]
6713
6714 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6715 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6716 [Bodo Moeller]
6717
6718 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6719
6720 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6721 module in FIPS mode.
6722 [Steve Henson]
6723
6724 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6725 [Steve Henson]
6726
6727 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6728 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6729 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6730 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6731 [Steve Henson]
6732
6733 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6734
6735 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6736 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6737 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6738 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6739 the difference induced by this change.
6740 [Andy Polyakov]
6741
6742 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6743
6744 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6745 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6746 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6747 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6748 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6749
6750 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6751 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6752 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6753
6754 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6755 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6756 [Steve Henson]
6757
6758 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6759 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6760 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6761 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6762 biased k.)
6763 [Bodo Moeller]
6764
6765 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6766 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6767 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6768 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6769 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6770
6771 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6772 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6773 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6774 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6775 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6776 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6777
6778 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6779
6780 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6781 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6782 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6783 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6784 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6785 [Bodo Moeller]
6786
6787 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6788 clients need.
6789 [Steve Henson]
6790
6791 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6792 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6793 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6794 [Steve Henson]
6795
6796 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6797 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6798 structures constant.
6799 [Steve Henson]
6800
6801 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6802
6803 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6804 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6805
6806 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6807 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6808 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6809 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6810 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6811 some needed definitions.
6812 [Steve Henson]
6813
6814 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6815 [Ulf Möller]
6816
6817 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6818 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6819 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6820 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6821 [Richard Levitte]
6822
6823 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6824
6825 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6826 server and client random values. Previously
6827 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6828 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6829
6830 This change has negligible security impact because:
6831
6832 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6833 data.
6834
6835 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6836 handshake.
6837
6838 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6839 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6840 values.
6841
6842 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6843 to our attention.
6844
6845 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6846
6847 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6848 [Ulf Möller]
6849
6850 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6851 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6852 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6853
6854 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6855 [Steve Henson]
6856
6857 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6858 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6859 [Andy Polyakov]
6860
6861 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6862 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6863 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6864
6865 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6866 [Steve Henson]
6867
6868 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6869 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6870 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6871 certificates.
6872 [Steve Henson]
6873
6874 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6875 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6876 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6877 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6878
6879 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6880 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6881 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6882 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6883 been given)
6884 [Richard Levitte]
6885
6886 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6887
6888 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6889 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6890 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6891 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6892 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6893 [Steve Henson]
6894
6895 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6896 [Steve Henson]
6897
6898 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6899 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6900
6901 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6902 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6903 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6904 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6905 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6906 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6907 rather than being initialized to 1.
6908 [Steve Henson]
6909
6910 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6911
6912 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6913 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6914 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6915
6916 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6917 (CVE-2004-0112)
6918 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6919
6920 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6921 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6922 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6923 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6924 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6925 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6926 [Richard Levitte]
6927
6928 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6929 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6930 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6931 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6932 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6933 for these cases.
6934 [Steve Henson]
6935
6936 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6937 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6938 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6939 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6940 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6941 [Steve Henson]
6942
6943 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6944 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6945 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6946 < 0.9.7.
6947 [Steve Henson]
6948
6949 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6950 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6951
6952 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6953 [Steve Henson]
6954
6955 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6956
6957 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6958
6959 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6960 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6961
6962 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6963
6964 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6965 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6966
6967 [Steve Henson]
6968
6969 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6970 exiting on the first error in a request.
6971 [Steve Henson]
6972
6973 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6974 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6975 specifications.
6976 [Steve Henson]
6977
6978 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6979 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6980 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6981 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6982
6983 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6984 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6985 [Richard Levitte]
6986
6987 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6988 blocks during encryption.
6989 [Richard Levitte]
6990
6991 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6992 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6993 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6994 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6995 certain size.
6996 [Steve Henson]
6997
6998 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6999 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7000 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7001 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7002 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7003 parser.
7004 [Steve Henson]
7005
7006 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7007
7008 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7009 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7010 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7011 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7012 [Bodo Moeller]
7013
7014 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7015 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7016 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7017 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7018 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7019
7020 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7021 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7022 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7023 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7024 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7025 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7026 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7027 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7028 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7029 [Bodo Moeller]
7030
7031 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7032 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7033 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7034 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7035 [Geoff Thorpe]
7036
7037 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7038 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7039 [Ulf Moeller]
7040
7041 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7042
7043 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7044 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7045 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7046 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7047 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7048
7049 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7050 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7051 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7052
7053 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7054 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7055 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7056 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7057 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7058
7059 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7060 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7061 used by default when no-err is given.
7062 [Richard Levitte]
7063
7064 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7065 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7066
7067 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7068 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7069 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7070 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7071 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7072
7073 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7074 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7075 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7076 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7077
7078 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7079
7080 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7081
7082 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7083
7084 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7085 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7086 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7087 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7088 root is omitted).
7089 [Steve Henson]
7090
7091 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7092 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7093
7094 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7095 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7096 [Steve Henson]
7097
7098 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7099 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7100 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7101 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7102 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7103
7104 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7105 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7106 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7107 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7108 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7109 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7110 followup to PR #377.
7111 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7112
7113 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7114 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7115 [Andy Polyakov]
7116
7117 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7118 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7119 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7120 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7121
7122 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7123
7124 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7125 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7126
7127 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7128 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7129 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7130 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7131 client and server.
7132 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7133 PR #377.
7134 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7135
7136 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7137 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7138 removed entirely.
7139 [Richard Levitte]
7140
7141 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7142 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7143 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7144 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7145 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7146 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7147 of libcrypto.
7148 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7149 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7150 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7151 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7152 have to be made anyway).
7153 [Richard Levitte]
7154
7155 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7156 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7157 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7158 [Steve Henson]
7159
7160 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7161 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7162 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7163 [Richard Levitte]
7164
7165 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7166 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7167 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7168
7169 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7170 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7171 edit numbers of the version.
7172 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7173
7174 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7175 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7176 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7177
7178 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7179 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7180
7181 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7182 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7183 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7184
7185 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7187
7188 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7189 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7190
7191 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7192 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7193
7194 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7195 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7196
7197 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7198 overflows.
7199 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7200
7201 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7202 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7203 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7204
7205 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7206 representations in a platform independent manner.
7207 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7208
7209 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7210 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7211 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7212
7213 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7214 indents.
7215 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7216
7217 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7218 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7219
7220 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7221 full. Fixed.
7222 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7223
7224 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7225 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7226 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7227
7228 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7229 unconditionally).
7230 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7231
7232 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7233 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7234
7235 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7236 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7237
7238 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7239 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7240
7241 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7242 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7243
7244 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7245 CBCParameter.
7246 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7247
7248 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7249 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7250
7251 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7252 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7253
7254 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7255 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7256 exploitable.
7257 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7258
7259 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7260 the 0.9.6 release series:
7261
7262 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7263 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7264 (CVE-2002-0657)
7265 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7266
7267 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7268 [Richard Levitte]
7269
7270 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7271 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7272
7273 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7274 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7275
7276 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7277 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7278 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7279 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7280
7281 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7282 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7283 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7284
7285 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7286 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7287 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7288 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7289
7290 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7291 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7292 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7293 some local tweaks:
7294
7295 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7296 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7297 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7298 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7299 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7300 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7301 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7302 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7303 done
7304
7305 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7306 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7307 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7308 [Richard Levitte]
7309
7310 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7311 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7312 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7313 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7314 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7315
7316 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7317 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7318
7319 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7320 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7321 [Richard Levitte]
7322
7323 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7324 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7325 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7326 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7327 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7328 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7329 [Steve Henson]
7330
7331 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7332 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7333 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7334 [Steve Henson]
7335
7336 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7337 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7338 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7339
7340 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7341 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7342 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7343 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7344 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7345 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7346 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7347 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7348
7349 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7350 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7351 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7352 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7353 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7354 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7355 [Steve Henson]
7356
7357 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7358 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7359 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7360 declaration has been changed from
7361 int (*cb)()
7362 into
7363 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7364 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7365 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7366 has been changed into
7367 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7368
7369 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7370 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7371 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7372
7373 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7374 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7375
7376 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7377 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7378 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7379 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7380 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7381 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7382 always load it have also been added.
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7386 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7387 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7388
7389 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7390
7391 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7392 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7393 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7394
7395 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7396 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7397 command line option can be used to specify an
7398 alternative file.
7399 [Steve Henson]
7400
7401 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7402 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7403 [Steve Henson]
7404
7405 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7406 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7407 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7408 [Steve Henson]
7409
7410 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7411 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7412 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7413 to work with the new engine framework.
7414 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7415
7416 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7417 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7418 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7419 to work with the new engine framework.
7420 [Richard Levitte]
7421
7422 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7423 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7424 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7425
7426 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7427 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7428
7429 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7430 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7431 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7432 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7433 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7434 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7435
7436 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7437 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7438
7439 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7440 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7441
7442 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7443 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7444 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7445 [Ben Laurie]
7446
7447 *) Add new functions
7448 ERR_peek_last_error
7449 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7450 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7451 These are similar to
7452 ERR_peek_error
7453 ERR_peek_error_line
7454 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7455 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7456 still in the error queue.
7457 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7458
7459 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7460 like:
7461 default_algorithms = ALL
7462 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7463 [Steve Henson]
7464
7465 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7466 [Steve Henson]
7467
7468 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7469 [Steve Henson]
7470
7471 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7472 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7473 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7474 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7475
7476 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7477 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7478
7479 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7480 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7481
7482 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7483 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7484 [Bodo Moeller]
7485
7486 *) New functions/macros
7487
7488 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7489 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7490 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7491 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7492
7493 to request calling a callback function
7494
7495 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7496 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7497
7498 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7499 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7500 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7501 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7502 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7503 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7504 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7505 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7506 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7507 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7508
7509 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7510 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7511 [Bodo Moeller]
7512
7513 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7514 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7515 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7516 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7517 the configuration scripts.
7518
7519 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7520 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7521 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7522
7523 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7524 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7525
7526 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7527 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7528 when reusing an existing buffer.
7529 [Bodo Moeller]
7530
7531 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7532 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7533 [Steve Henson]
7534
7535 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7536 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7537 [Ben Laurie]
7538
7539 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7540 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7541 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7542 has the same effect.
7543 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7544
7545 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7546 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7547 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7548 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7549 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7550 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7551 exception.
7552
7553 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7554 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7555 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7556 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7557
7558 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7559 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7560 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7561 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7562
7563 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7564 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7565 won't work.
7566
7567 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7568 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7569 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7570 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7571 default), and then completely removed.
7572 [Richard Levitte]
7573
7574 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7575 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7576 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7577 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7578 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7579 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7580 particular extension is supported.
7581 [Steve Henson]
7582
7583 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7584 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7585 [Steve Henson]
7586
7587 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7588 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7589 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7590 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7591 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7592 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7593 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7594 requires the destination to be valid.
7595
7596 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7597 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7598 [Steve Henson]
7599
7600 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7601 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7602 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7603 [Bodo Moeller]
7604
7605 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7606 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7607
7608 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7609 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7610 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7611 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7612 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7613 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7614 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7615 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7616 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7617 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7618 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7619 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7620 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7621 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7622 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7623 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7624 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7625 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7626 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7627 the new code.
7628 [Geoff Thorpe]
7629
7630 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7631 [Steve Henson]
7632
7633 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7634 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7635 become part of libeay.num as well.
7636 [Richard Levitte]
7637
7638 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7639 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7640 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7641 false once a handshake has been completed.
7642 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7643 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7644 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7645 client has followed the request.)
7646 [Bodo Moeller]
7647
7648 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7649 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7650 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7651 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7652
7653 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7654 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7655 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7656 [Bodo Moeller]
7657
7658 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7659 [Steve Henson]
7660
7661 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7662 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7663 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7664 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7665
7666 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7667 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7668 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7669
7670 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7671 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7672 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7673 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7674 [Geoff Thorpe]
7675
7676 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7677 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7678 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7679 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7680 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7681 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7682 [Geoff Thorpe]
7683
7684 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7685 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7686 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7687 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7688 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7689 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7690 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7691 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7692 [Geoff Thorpe]
7693
7694 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7695 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7696 [Geoff Thorpe]
7697
7698 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7699 [Ben Laurie]
7700
7701 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7702 md_data void pointer.
7703 [Ben Laurie]
7704
7705 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7706 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7707 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7708 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7709 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7710 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7711 [Ben Laurie]
7712
7713 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7714 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7715 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7716 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7717 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7718 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7719 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7720 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7721 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7722 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7723 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7724 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7725 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7726 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7727 rather than letting it slide.
7728
7729 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7730 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7731 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7732 [Geoff Thorpe]
7733
7734 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7735 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7736 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7737 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7738 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7739 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7740 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7741 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7742 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7743 [Geoff Thorpe]
7744
7745 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7746 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7747 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7748 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7749 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7750
7751 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7752 [Geoff Thorpe]
7753
7754 *) Add EVP test program.
7755 [Ben Laurie]
7756
7757 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7758 [Ben Laurie]
7759
7760 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7761 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7762 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7763 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7764 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7765 [Steve Henson]
7766
7767 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7768 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7769 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7770 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7771 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7772 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7773 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7774
7775 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7776 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7777 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7778 Usage example:
7779
7780 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7781
7782 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7783 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7784 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7785 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7786 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7787
7788 [Ben Laurie]
7789
7790 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7791 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7792 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7793 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7794 anyway): E.g.,
7795
7796 des_key_schedule ks;
7797
7798 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7799 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7800
7801 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7802 [Ben Laurie]
7803
7804 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7805 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7806 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7807 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7808 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7809 functions prevents this.
7810 [Steve Henson]
7811
7812 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7813 [Ben Laurie]
7814
7815 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7816 correct _ecb suffix.
7817 [Ben Laurie]
7818
7819 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7820 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7821 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7822 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7823 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7824 [Steve Henson]
7825
7826 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7827 [Richard Levitte]
7828
7829 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7830 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7831 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7832 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7833
7834 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7835 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7836
7837 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7838 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7839 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7840 via Richard Levitte]
7841
7842 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7843 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7844 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7845 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7846 [Geoff Thorpe]
7847
7848 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7849 Before:
7850 encrypt
7851 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7852 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

7864 [Ben Laurie]
7865
7866 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7867 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7868
7869 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7870 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7871 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7872 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7873 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7874 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7875 [Steve Henson]
7876
7877 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7878 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7879 [Richard Levitte]
7880
7881 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7882 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7883 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7884 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7885
7886 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7887 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7888 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7889 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7890 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7891 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7892 callback.
7893 [Richard Levitte]
7894
7895 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7896 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7897 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7898 and interrupts/cancellations.
7899 [Richard Levitte]
7900
7901 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7902 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7903 [Steve Henson]
7904
7905 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7906 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7907 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7908
7909 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7910 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7911 kind of callback.
7912 [Richard Levitte]
7913
7914 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7915 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7916 than this minimum value is recommended.
7917 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7918
7919 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7920 that are easily reachable.
7921 [Richard Levitte]
7922
7923 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7924 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7925
7926 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7927
7928 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7929 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7930 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7931 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7932 [Steve Henson]
7933
7934 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7935 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7936 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7937 [Steve Henson]
7938
7939 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7940 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7941 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7942 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7943 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7944 internally such as S/MIME.
7945
7946 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7947 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7948 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7949
7950 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7951 applications.
7952 [Steve Henson]
7953
7954 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7955 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7956 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7957 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7958
7959 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7960
7961 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7962
7963 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7964 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7965 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7966 handling.
7967 [Steve Henson]
7968
7969 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7970 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7971 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7972 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7973 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7974 a window system and the like.
7975 [Richard Levitte]
7976
7977 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7978 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7979 [Geoff]
7980
7981 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7982 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7983 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7984 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7985 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7986 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7987 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7988 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7989 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7990 ENGINE structure.
7991 [Geoff]
7992
7993 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7994 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7995 tag cache.
7996 [Steve Henson]
7997
7998 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7999 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8000 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8001 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8002 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8003 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8004 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8005 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8006 [Geoff]
8007
8008 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8009 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8010 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8011 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8012 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8013 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8014 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8015 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8016 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8017 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8018 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8019 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8020 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8021 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8022 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8023 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8024 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8025 [Geoff]
8026
8027 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8028 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8029 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8030 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8031 internal engine_int.h header.
8032 [Geoff]
8033
8034 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8035 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8036 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8037 modify their own ones).
8038 [Geoff]
8039
8040 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8041 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8042 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8043 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8044 later on via ctrl() commands.
8045 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8046 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8047 structural references.
8048 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8049 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8050 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8051 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8052 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8053 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8054 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8055 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8056 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8057 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8058 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8059 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8060 [Geoff]
8061
8062 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8063 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8064 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8065 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8066 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8067 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8068 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8069 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8070 [Bodo Moeller]
8071
8072 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8073 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8074 [Steve Henson]
8075
8076 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8077 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8078 [Steve Henson]
8079
8080 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8081 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8082 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8083 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8084 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8085 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8086 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8087 [Steve Henson]
8088
8089 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8090 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8091 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8092 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8093 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8094
8095 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8096 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8097 generator).
8098 [Bodo Moeller]
8099
8100 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8101
8102 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8103 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8104 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8105
8106 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8107 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8108
8109 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8110 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8111 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8112
8113 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8114 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8115
8116 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8117 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8118
8119 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8120
8121 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8122 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8123 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8124 [Bodo Moeller]
8125
8126 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8127 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8128 [Richard Levitte]
8129
8130 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8131 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8132 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8133 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8134 is 40 of more characters long.
8135 [Steve Henson]
8136
8137 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8138 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8139 pointers.
8140 [Steve Henson]
8141
8142 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8143 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8144 [Bodo Moeller]
8145
8146 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8147 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8148 might.
8149 [Steve Henson]
8150
8151 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8152
8153 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8154 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8155
8156 ASN1 error codes
8157 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8158 ...
8159 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8160 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8161 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8162 ...
8163 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8164 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8165
8166 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8167 [Bodo Moeller]
8168
8169 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8170 suffices.
8171 [Bodo Moeller]
8172
8173 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8174 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8175 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8176 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8177 and
8178 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8179
8180 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8181 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8182
8183 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8184 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8185 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8186 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8187 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8188 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8189
8190 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8191 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8192
8193 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8194 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8195
8196 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8197 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8198
8199 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8200 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8201 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8202 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8203
8204 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8205 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8206
8207 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8208 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8209
8210 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8211 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8212 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8213 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8214 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8215 [Richard Levitte]
8216
8217 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8218 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8219 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8220 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8221 [Steve Henson]
8222
8223 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8224 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8225 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8226 trust settings.
8227 [Steve Henson]
8228
8229 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8230 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8231 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8232 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8233 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8234 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8235 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8236 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8237 ocsp utility.
8238 [Steve Henson]
8239
8240 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8241 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8242 [Steve Henson]
8243
8244 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8245 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8246 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8247 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8248 [Steve Henson]
8249
8250 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8251 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8252 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8253 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8254 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8255 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8256 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8257 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8258 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8259 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8260 [Steve Henson]
8261
8262 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8263 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8264 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8265 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8266 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8267 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8268 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8269 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8270
8271 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8272 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8273 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8274 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8275 [Richard Levitte]
8276
8277 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8278 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8279 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8280 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8281 opensslconf.h.
8282 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8283 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8284 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8285 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8286 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8287 what is available.
8288 [Richard Levitte]
8289
8290 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8291 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8292 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8293 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8294 auto incremented.
8295 [Steve Henson]
8296
8297 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8298 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8299 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8300 [Steve Henson]
8301
8302 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8303 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8304 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8305 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8306 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8307 [Steve Henson]
8308
8309 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8310 [Steve Henson]
8311
8312 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8313 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8314 option to ocsp utility.
8315 [Steve Henson]
8316
8317 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8318 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8319 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8320 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8321 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8322 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8323 the request is nonce-less.
8324 [Steve Henson]
8325
8326 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8327 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8328 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8329 [Bodo Moeller]
8330
8331 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8332 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8333 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8334 [Steve Henson]
8335
8336 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8337 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8338 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8339 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8340 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8341 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8342
8343 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8344 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8345 appear to exist.
8346 [Steve Henson]
8347
8348 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8349 additional certificates supplied.
8350 [Steve Henson]
8351
8352 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8353 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8354 signature against.
8355 [Richard Levitte]
8356
8357 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8358 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8359 AES OIDs.
8360
8361 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8362 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8363 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8364 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8365 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8366 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8367 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8368 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8369 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8370
8371 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8372 request to response.
8373 [Steve Henson]
8374
8375 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8376 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8377 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8378 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8379 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8380 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8381 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8382 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8383 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8384 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8385 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8386 [Steve Henson]
8387
8388 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8389 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8390 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8391 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8392 [Steve Henson]
8393
8394 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8395 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8396
8397 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8398 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8399 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8400 [Steve Henson]
8401
8402 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8403 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8404 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8405 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8406 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8407
8408 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8409 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8410 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8411 [Steve Henson]
8412
8413 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8414 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8415 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8416 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8417 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8418 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8419 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8420 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8421
8422 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8423 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8424 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8425 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8426 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8427 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8428 [Steve Henson]
8429
8430 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8431 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8432 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8433 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8434 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8435 printout format cleaned up.
8436 [Steve Henson]
8437
8438 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8439 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8440 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8441 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8442 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8443 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8444 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8445 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8446 [Steve Henson]
8447
8448 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8449 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8450 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8451 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8452 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8453 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8454 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8455 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8456 [Steve Henson]
8457
8458 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8459 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8460 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8461 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8462 section to use.
8463 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8464
8465 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8466 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8467 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8468 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8469 [Steve Henson]
8470
8471 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8472 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8473 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8474 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8475 in the index file.
8476 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8477
8478 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8479 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8480 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8481 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8482
8483 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8484 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8485
8486 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8487 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8488 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8489 [Steve Henson]
8490
8491 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8492 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8493 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8494 [Bodo Moeller]
8495
8496 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8497 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8498 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8499 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8500 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8501 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8502 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8503 functions are provided:
8504
8505 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8506 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8507 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8508 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8509
8510 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8511 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8512 extended allocation function is enabled.
8513 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8514 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8515 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8516
8517 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8518 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8519 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8520 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8521 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8522 [Geoff Thorpe]
8523
8524 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8525 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8526 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8527 be queried.
8528 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8529 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8530 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8531 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8532
8533 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8534 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8535 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8536 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8537 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8538 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8539 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8540 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8541 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8542 [Richard Levitte]
8543
8544 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8545 provide utility functions which an application needing
8546 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8547 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8548 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8549
8550 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8551 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8552 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8553 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8554 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8555 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8556 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8557 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8558 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8559
8560 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8561 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8562 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8563 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8564 [Steve Henson]
8565
8566 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8567 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8568 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8569 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8570 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8571 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8572 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8573 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8574 will be added elsewhere.
8575 [Steve Henson]
8576
8577 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8578 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8579 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8580 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8581 [Steve Henson]
8582
8583 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8584 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8585 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8586 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8587 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8588 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8589 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8590 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8591 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8592 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8593 to produce the required SET OF.
8594 [Steve Henson]
8595
8596 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8597 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8598 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8599 [Richard Levitte]
8600
8601 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8602 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8603 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8604 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8605 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8606 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8607 [Steve Henson]
8608
8609 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8610 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8611 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8612 [Steve Henson]
8613
8614 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8615 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8616 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8617 [Richard Levitte]
8618
8619 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8620 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8621 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8622 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8623 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8624 [Steve Henson]
8625
8626 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8627 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8628 [Steve Henson]
8629
8630 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8631 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8632 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8633 certificates and CRLs.
8634 [Steve Henson]
8635
8636 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8637 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8638 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8639 [Steve Henson]
8640
8641 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8642 entries for variables.
8643 [Steve Henson]
8644
8645 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8646 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8647 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8648 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8649 [Bodo Moeller]
8650
8651 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8652 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8653 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8654 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8655 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8656 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8657 [Bodo Moeller]
8658
8659 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8660 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8661
8662 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8663 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8664 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8665 [Steve Henson]
8666
8667 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8668 print routines.
8669 [Steve Henson]
8670
8671 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8672 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8673 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8674 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8675 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8676 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8677 [Steve Henson]
8678
8679 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8680 [Steve Henson]
8681
8682 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8683 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8684 for now but they will eventually go away.
8685 [Steve Henson]
8686
8687 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8688 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8689 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8690 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8691 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8692 has also been converted to the new form.
8693 [Steve Henson]
8694
8695 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8696 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8697 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8698 for negative moduli.
8699 [Bodo Moeller]
8700
8701 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8702 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8703 [Bodo Moeller]
8704
8705 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8706 set.
8707 [Bodo Moeller]
8708
8709 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8710 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8711 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8712 type-specific callbacks.
8713 [Geoff Thorpe]
8714
8715 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8716 RFC 2712.
8717 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8718 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8719
8720 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8721 in sections depending on the subject.
8722 [Richard Levitte]
8723
8724 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8725 Windows.
8726 [Richard Levitte]
8727
8728 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8729 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8730 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8731 be handled deterministically).
8732 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8733
8734 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8735 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8736 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8737 [Bodo Moeller]
8738
8739 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8740 [Bodo Moeller]
8741
8742 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8743 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8744 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8745 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8746 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8747 [Bodo Moeller]
8748
8749 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8750 sign of the number in question.
8751
8752 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8753
8754 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8755 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8756 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8757 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8758 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8759 [Bodo Moeller]
8760
8761 *) New function BN_swap.
8762 [Bodo Moeller]
8763
8764 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8765 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8766 results on negative inputs.
8767 [Bodo Moeller]
8768
8769 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8770 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8771 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8772 [Bodo Moeller]
8773
8774 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8775 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8776 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8777 and add new functions:
8778
8779 BN_nnmod
8780 BN_mod_sqr
8781 BN_mod_add
8782 BN_mod_add_quick
8783 BN_mod_sub
8784 BN_mod_sub_quick
8785 BN_mod_lshift1
8786 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8787 BN_mod_lshift
8788 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8789
8790 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8791
8792 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8793 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8794
8795 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8796 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8797 be reduced modulo m.
8798 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8799
8800 #if 0
8801 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8802 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8803 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8804
8805 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8806 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8807 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8808 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8809 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8810 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8811 differing sizes.
8812 [Richard Levitte]
8813 #endif
8814
8815 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8816 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8817 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8818 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8819 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8820
8821 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8822 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8823 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8824 cause any problems.
8825 [Bodo Moeller]
8826
8827 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8828 [Richard Levitte]
8829
8830 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8831 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8832 [Richard Levitte]
8833
8834 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8835 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8836 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8837 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8838 time)
8839 [Richard Levitte]
8840
8841 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8842 [Richard Levitte]
8843
8844 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8845 [Richard Levitte]
8846
8847 *) Add the following functions:
8848
8849 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8850 ENGINE_load_chil()
8851 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8852 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8853 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8854
8855 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8856 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8857 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8858 libraries unless it's really needed.
8859
8860 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8861 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8862 declarations (they differed!).
8863 [Richard Levitte]
8864
8865 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8866 [Richard Levitte]
8867
8868 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8869 [Richard Levitte]
8870
8871 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8872 [Bodo Moeller]
8873
8874 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8875 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8876 [Richard Levitte]
8877
8878 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8879 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8880 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8881
8882 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8883 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8884 [Richard Levitte]
8885
8886 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8887 [Richard Levitte]
8888
8889 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8890 [Richard Levitte]
8891
8892 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8893 [Ben Laurie]
8894
8895 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8896 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8897 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8898
8899 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8900 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8901 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8902 different shared library filenames on each system.
8903 [Geoff Thorpe]
8904
8905 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8906 [Richard Levitte]
8907
8908 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8909 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8910 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8911 of two sections.
8912 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8913
8914 *) NCONF changes.
8915 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8916 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8917 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8918 binary backward compatibility.
8919 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8920 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8921 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8922 LDAP server.
8923 [Richard Levitte]
8924
8925 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8926 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8927 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8928 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8929 this case.
8930 [Steve Henson]
8931
8932 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8933 [Ben Laurie]
8934
8935 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8936 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8937 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8938 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8939 set.
8940 [Steve Henson]
8941
8942 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8943 [Richard Levitte]
8944
8945 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8946
8947 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8948 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8949 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8950
8951 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8952
8953 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8954
8955 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8956 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8957 [Steve Henson]
8958
8959 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8960
8961 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8962
8963 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8964 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8965
8966 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8967 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8968
8969 [Steve Henson]
8970
8971 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8972 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8973 specifications.
8974 [Steve Henson]
8975
8976 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8977 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8978 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8979 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8980
8981 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8982 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8983 [Richard Levitte]
8984
8985 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8986
8987 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8988 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8989 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8990 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8991 [Bodo Moeller]
8992
8993 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8994 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8995 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8996 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8997 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8998
8999 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9000 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9001 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9002 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9003 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9004 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9005 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9006 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9007 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9008 [Bodo Moeller]
9009
9010 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9011
9012 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9013 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9014 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9015 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9016 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9017
9018 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9019 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9020 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9021
9022 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9023
9024 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9025 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9026 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9027 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9028 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9029 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9030 [Geoff Thorpe]
9031
9032 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9033 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9034 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9035 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9036 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9037 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9038
9039 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9040 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9041 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9042
9043 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9044 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9045 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9046 EVP_cleanup().
9047 [Richard Levitte]
9048
9049 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9050 being properly terminated.
9051 [Richard Levitte]
9052
9053 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9054 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9055 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9056 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9057
9058 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9059 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9060 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9061 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9062 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9063 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9064 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9065 change.
9066 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9067
9068 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9069 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9070 [Bodo Moeller]
9071
9072 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9073 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9074 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9075 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9076 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9077 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9078 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9079 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9080
9081 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9082 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9083 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9084 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9085 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9086
9087 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9088 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9089 [Steve Henson]
9090
9091 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9092
9093 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9094 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9095 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9096
9097 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9098
9099 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9100 and get fix the header length calculation.
9101 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9102 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9103 Steve Henson]
9104
9105 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9106 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9107 assertions could call abort()).
9108 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9109
9110 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9111
9112 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9113 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9114 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9115 supplied buffer.
9116 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9117
9118 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9119 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9120 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9121 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9122
9123 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9124 [Nils Larsch]
9125
9126 *) New option
9127 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9128 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9129 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9130
9131 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9132 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9133 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9134 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9135 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9136 applications.
9137 [Bodo Moeller]
9138
9139 *) Changes in security patch:
9140
9141 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9142 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9143 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9144 F30602-01-2-0537.
9145
9146 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9147 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9148 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9149 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9150 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9151
9152 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9153 happen in practice.
9154 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9155
9156 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9157 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9158 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9159
9160 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9161 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9162 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9163
9164 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9165 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9166 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9167
9168 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9169
9170 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9171 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9172 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9173
9174 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9175 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9176
9177 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9178 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9179 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9180 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9181 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9182 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9183 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9184
9185 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9186 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9187 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9188 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9189 [Bodo Moeller]
9190
9191 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9192 [Bodo Moeller]
9193
9194 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9195 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9196 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9197 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9198 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9199 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9200
9201 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9202 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9203 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9204 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9205 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9206 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9207
9208 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9209 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9210 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9211 BN_generate_prime().)
9212
9213 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9214 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9215 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9216 better.
9217 [Bodo Moeller]
9218
9219 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9220 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9221 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9222
9223 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9224 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9225 when using non-blocking I/O.
9226 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9227
9228 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9229 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9230
9231 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9232 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9233 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9234
9235 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9236 configuration for the versions before that.
9237 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9238
9239 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9240 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9241 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9242 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9243 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9244
9245 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9246 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9247 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9248 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9249
9250 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9251 value is 0.
9252 [Richard Levitte]
9253
9254 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9255 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9256 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9257
9258 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9259 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9260
9261 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9262 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9263 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9264 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9265 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9266 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9267 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9268 session cache.
9269
9270 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9271 using a local variable.
9272 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9273
9274 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9275 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9276 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9277
9278 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9279 [Richard Levitte]
9280
9281 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9282 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9283
9284 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9285 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9286 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9287
9288 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9289
9290 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9291 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9292 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9293 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9294 [Bodo Moeller]
9295
9296 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9297 present.
9298 [Steve Henson]
9299
9300 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9301 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9302 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9303 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9304 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9305
9306 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9307 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9308 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9309
9310 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9311 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9312 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9313
9314 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9315 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9316 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9317 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9318
9319 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9320 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9321 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9322 modules).
9323 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9324
9325 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9326 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9327 from 0.9.7.
9328 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9329
9330 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9331 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9332 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9333 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9334
9335 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9336 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9337 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9338 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9339
9340 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9341 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9342
9343 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9344 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9345 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9346 [Bodo Moeller]
9347
9348 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9349 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9350 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9351 become invalid.
9352 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9353
9354 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9355 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9356 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9357 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9358 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9359 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9360 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9361 [Bodo Moeller]
9362
9363 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9364 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9365 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9366 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9367
9368 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9369 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9370 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9371 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9372 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9373 the client will at least see that alert.
9374 [Bodo Moeller]
9375
9376 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9377 correctly.
9378 [Bodo Moeller]
9379
9380 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9381 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9382 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9383
9384 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9385 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9386 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9387 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9388 HelloRequest.
9389
9390 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9391 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9392 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9393
9394 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9395 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9396 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9397 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9398 may leak via logfiles.)
9399
9400 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9401 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9402 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9403 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9404 the legal range.
9405 [Bodo Moeller]
9406
9407 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9408 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9409 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9410
9411 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9412 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9413 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9414 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9415 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9416 [Bodo Moeller]
9417
9418 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9419 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9420
9421 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9422 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9423 followed by modular reduction.
9424 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9425
9426 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9427 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9428 [Bodo Moeller]
9429
9430 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9431 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9432 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9433 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9434 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9435
9436 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9437 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9438
9439 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9440 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9441 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9442
9443 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9444 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9445 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9446 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9447 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9448 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9449 automatically.
9450 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9451
9452 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9453 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9454 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9455 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9456 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9457
9458 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9459 [Andy Polyakov]
9460
9461 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9462 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9463 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9464 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9465 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9466 to allow the necessary settings.
9467 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9468
9469 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9470 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9471 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9472 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9473 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9474
9475 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9476 dh->length and always used
9477
9478 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9479
9480 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9481 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9482 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9483 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9484 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9485 dh->length.
9486
9487 So switch back to
9488
9489 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9490
9491 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9492 otherwise.
9493 [Bodo Moeller]
9494
9495 *) In
9496
9497 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9498 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9499 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9500 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9501
9502 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9503 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9504 always reject numbers >= n.
9505 [Bodo Moeller]
9506
9507 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9508 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9509 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9510 variable) is not atomic.
9511 [Bodo Moeller]
9512
9513 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9514 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9515 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9516 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9517
9518 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9519 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9520
9521 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9522 little-endian MIPS.
9523 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9524
9525 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9526 [Richard Levitte]
9527
9528 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9529
9530 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9531 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9532 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9533 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9534 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9535 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9536 to traverse all of 'state'.
9537
9538 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9539 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9540 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9541
9542 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9543 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9544
9545 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9546 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9547 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9548 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9549 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9550 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9551 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9552 further strengthens the PRNG.
9553 [Bodo Moeller]
9554
9555 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9556 [Andy Polyakov]
9557
9558 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9559 an error message in this case.
9560 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9561
9562 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9563 [Steve Henson]
9564
9565 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9566 positive and less than q.
9567 [Bodo Moeller]
9568
9569 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9570 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9571 that itself.
9572 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9573
9574 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9575 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9576 [Bodo Moeller]
9577
9578 *) Fix OAEP check.
9579 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9580
9581 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9582 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9583 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9584 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9585 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9586 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9587 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9588 paper.)
9589
9590 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9591 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9592 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9593 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9594
9595 Both problems are now fixed.
9596 [Bodo Moeller]
9597
9598 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9599 (previously it was 1024).
9600 [Bodo Moeller]
9601
9602 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9603 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9604 [Steve Henson]
9605
9606 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9607 [Steve Henson]
9608
9609 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9610 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9611 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9612 [Steve Henson]
9613
9614 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9615 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9616 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9617 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9618 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9619 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9620 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9621 environment variables.
9622
9623 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9624 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9625 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9626 [Bodo Moeller]
9627
9628 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9629 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9630 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9631 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9632 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9633 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9634 [Bodo Moeller]
9635
9636 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9637 versions of 'test'.
9638 [Bodo Moeller]
9639
9640 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9641
9642 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9643 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9644
9645 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9646 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9647 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9648 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9649 CygWin.
9650 [Richard Levitte]
9651
9652 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9653 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9654 amount of data available.
9655 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9656 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9657
9658 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9659 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9660 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9661 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9662 [Bodo Moeller]
9663
9664 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9665 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9666 and UnixWare.
9667 [Richard Levitte]
9668
9669 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9670 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9671 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9672 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9673 [Ulf Moeller]
9674
9675 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9676 [Andy Polyakov]
9677
9678 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9679 [Richard Levitte]
9680
9681 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9682 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9683 [Steve Henson]
9684 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9685
9686 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9687 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9688 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9689 (but broken) behaviour.
9690 [Steve Henson]
9691
9692 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9693 it when found.
9694 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9695
9696 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9697 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9698 [Bodo Moeller]
9699
9700 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9701 did not exist.
9702 [Bodo Moeller]
9703
9704 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9705 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9706
9707 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9708 [Richard Levitte]
9709
9710 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9711 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9712 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9713
9714 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9715 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9716 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9717 [Steve Henson]
9718
9719 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9720 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9721 [Ulf Moeller]
9722
9723 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9724 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9725
9726 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9727
9728 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9729
9730 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9731 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9732 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9733 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9734 [Bodo Moeller]
9735
9736 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9737 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9738
9739 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9740 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9741 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9742
9743 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9744 was empty.
9745 [Steve Henson]
9746 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9747
9748 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9749 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9750 but the code is actually correct.
9751 [Steve Henson]
9752
9753 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9754 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9755 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9756 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9757 and leaves the highest bit random.
9758 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9759
9760 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9761 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9762 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9763 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9764 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9765 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9766 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9767 [Bodo Moeller]
9768
9769 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9770 [Ulf Moeller]
9771
9772 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9773 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9774 [Steve Henson]
9775
9776 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9777 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9778 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9779 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9780 headers.
9781 [Richard Levitte]
9782
9783 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9784 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9785 and break the signature.
9786 [Steve Henson]
9787 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9788
9789 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9790 DH ciphersuites.
9791 [Steve Henson]
9792
9793 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9794 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9795 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9796 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9797 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9798 [Bodo Moeller]
9799
9800 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9801 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9802
9803 *) ./config script fixes.
9804 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9805
9806 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9807 [Bodo Moeller]
9808
9809 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9810 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9811 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9812 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9813 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9814
9815 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9816 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9817 [Bodo Moeller]
9818
9819 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9820 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9821 [Steve Henson]
9822
9823 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9824 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9825 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9826 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9827
9828 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9829 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9830
9831 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9832 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9833 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9834 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9835 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9836
9837 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9838 [Bodo Moeller]
9839
9840 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9841 [Ulf Möller]
9842
9843 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9844 [Ulf Möller]
9845
9846 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9847 [Bodo Moeller]
9848
9849 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9850 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9851 [Bodo Moeller]
9852
9853 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9854 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9855 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9856 result of the server certificate verification.)
9857 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9858
9859 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9860 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9861 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9862 [Bodo Moeller]
9863
9864 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9865 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9866 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9867 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9868 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9869 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9870 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9871 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9872 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9873 [Bodo Moeller]
9874
9875 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9876 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9877 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9878 happening the other way round.
9879 [Geoff Thorpe]
9880
9881 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9882 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9883 [Bodo Moeller]
9884
9885 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9886 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9887 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9888 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9889 [Richard Levitte]
9890
9891 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9892 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9893
9894 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9895
9896 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9897 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9898 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9899 that.
9900
9901 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9902
9903 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9904
9905 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9906 static ones.
9907 [Richard Levitte]
9908
9909 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9910
9911 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9912 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9913 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9914 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9915 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9916
9917 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9918 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9919 matter what.
9920 [Richard Levitte]
9921
9922 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9923 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9924
9925 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9926
9927 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9928 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9929 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9930 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9931 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9932 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9933 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9934 by the Finished messages.
9935 [Bodo Moeller]
9936
9937 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9938 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9939
9940 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9941 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9942 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9943 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9944 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9945 appropriately.
9946 [Steve Henson]
9947
9948 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9949 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9950 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9951 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9952 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9953 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9954 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9955 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9956 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9957 together.
9958 [Steve Henson]
9959
9960 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9961 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9962 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9963 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9964
9965 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9966 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9967 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9968 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9969 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9970 the answer.
9971
9972 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9973 been tested well enough.
9974 [Richard Levitte]
9975
9976 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9977 it can return incorrect results.
9978 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9979 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9980 [Bodo Moeller]
9981
9982 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9983 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9984 include zero length content when signing messages.
9985 [Steve Henson]
9986
9987 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9988 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9989 [Bodo Möller]
9990
9991 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9992 [Richard Levitte]
9993
9994 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9995 wrong sign.
9996 [Ulf Möller]
9997
9998 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9999 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10000 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10001 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10002 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10003 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10004 [Richard Levitte]
10005
10006 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10007 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10008
10009 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10010 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10011
10012 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10013 random number < q in the DSA library.
10014 [Ulf Möller]
10015
10016 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10017 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10018 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10019 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10020 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10021 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10022 just makes things more complicated.)
10023 [Bodo Moeller]
10024
10025 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10026 from EGD.
10027 [Ben Laurie]
10028
10029 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10030 work better on such systems.
10031 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10032
10033 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10034 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10035 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10036 [Steve Henson]
10037
10038 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10039 if there was more than one signature.
10040 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10041
10042 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10043 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10044 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10045 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10046 [Richard Levitte]
10047
10048 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10049 rather than always using the current time.
10050 [Steve Henson]
10051
10052 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10053 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10054 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10055 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10056 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10057 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10058
10059 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10060 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10061
10062 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10063
10064 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10065 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10066 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10067 the same hash value.
10068
10069 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10070 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10071 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10072 with X509_STORE internally.
10073
10074 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10075 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10076
10077 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10078 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10079 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10080 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10081 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10082 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10083 entirely (maybe later...).
10084
10085 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10086
10087 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10088 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10089 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10090 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10091 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10092 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10093 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10094 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10095
10096 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10097 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10098
10099 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10100 to customise the verify behaviour.
10101 [Steve Henson]
10102
10103 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10104 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10105 [Steve Henson]
10106
10107 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10108 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10109 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10110 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10111 request is improperly encoded.
10112 [Steve Henson]
10113
10114 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10115 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10116 BIO_write(b, ...).
10117
10118 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10119 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10120
10121 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10122 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10123 words set to zero.)
10124 [Bodo Moeller]
10125
10126 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10127 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10128 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10129 [Bodo Moeller]
10130
10131 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10132 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10133 BIO/fp routines also added.
10134 [Steve Henson]
10135
10136 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10137 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10138
10139 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10140 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10141 demos/state_machine.
10142 [Ben Laurie]
10143
10144 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10145 generation and verification.
10146 [Steve Henson]
10147
10148 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10149 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10150 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10151 encode and decode it manually.
10152 [Steve Henson]
10153
10154 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10155 compile under VC++.
10156 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10157
10158 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10159 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10160 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10161 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10162
10163 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10164 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10165 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10166 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10167 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10168 [Steve Henson]
10169
10170 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10171 [Richard Levitte]
10172
10173 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10174 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10175 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10176
10177 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10178 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10179 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10180 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10181 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10182 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10183 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10184 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10185
10186 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10187 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10188
10189 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10190
10191 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10192 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10193 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10194
10195 [Richard Levitte]
10196
10197 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10198 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10199 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10200 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10201 [Richard Levitte]
10202
10203 *) MD4 implemented.
10204 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10205
10206 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10207 [Richard Levitte]
10208
10209 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10210 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10211 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10212 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10213 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10214 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10215 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10216 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10217 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10218 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10219 short or long names are found.
10220 [Steve Henson]
10221
10222 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10223 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10224
10225 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10226 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10227 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10228 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10229
10230 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10231 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10232 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10233 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10234 [Bodo Moeller]
10235
10236 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10237 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10238 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10239 [Richard Levitte]
10240
10241 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10242 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10243 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10244 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10245 to allow the various flags to be set.
10246 [Steve Henson]
10247
10248 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10249 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10250 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10251 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10252 dates to be checked.
10253 [Steve Henson]
10254
10255 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10256 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10257 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10258 [Steve Henson]
10259
10260 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10261 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10262 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10263 [Steve Henson]
10264
10265 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10266 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10267 [Bodo Moeller]
10268
10269 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10270 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10271 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10272 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10273 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10274 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10275 [Richard Levitte]
10276
10277 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10278 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10279 Random Numbers.
10280 [Ulf Möller]
10281
10282 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10283 DSA key.
10284 [Steve Henson]
10285
10286 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10287 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10288 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10289 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10290 form signing output easier to verify.
10291 [Steve Henson]
10292
10293 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10294 [Steve Henson]
10295
10296 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10297 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10298 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10299 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10300 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10301 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10302 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10303 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10304 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10305 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10306 [Steve Henson]
10307
10308 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10309
10310 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10311 the syntax given in objects.README.
10312 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10313 obj_mac.h.
10314 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10315 obj_mac.h.
10316
10317 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10318 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10319 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10320 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10321 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10322 consistent name changes.
10323 [Richard Levitte]
10324
10325 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10326 [Bodo Moeller]
10327
10328 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10329 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10330 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10331 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10332 [Richard Levitte]
10333
10334 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10335 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10336 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10337 of safestack.h .
10338 [Steve Henson]
10339
10340 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10341 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10342 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10343 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10344 [Steve Henson]
10345
10346 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10347 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10348 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10349 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10350 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10351 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10352 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10353 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10354 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10355 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10356 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10357 [Steve Henson]
10358
10359 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10360 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10361 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10362 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10363 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10364 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10365 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10366 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10367 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10368 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10369 [Steve Henson]
10370
10371 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10372 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10373 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10374 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10375
10376 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10377 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10378 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10379 omit any duplicate addresses.
10380 [Steve Henson]
10381
10382 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10383 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10384 [Bodo Moeller]
10385
10386 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10387 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10388 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10389 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10390 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10391 [Bodo Moeller]
10392
10393 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10394 software:
10395 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10396 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10397 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10398 Free => OPENSSL_free
10399 [Richard Levitte]
10400
10401 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10402 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10403 [Bodo Moeller]
10404
10405 *) CygWin32 support.
10406 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10407
10408 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10409 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10410 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10411 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10412 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10413 approach.
10414 [Geoff Thorpe]
10415
10416 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10417 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10418 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10419 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10420 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10421 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10422 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10423 [Geoff Thorpe]
10424
10425 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10426 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10427 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10428 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10429 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10430 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10431 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10432 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10433 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10434 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10435 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10436 [Bodo Moeller]
10437
10438 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10439 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10440 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10441 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10442 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10443
10444 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10445 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10446 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10447 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10448 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10449
10450 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10451 ciphers.
10452
10453 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10454 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10455 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10456 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10457
10458 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10459
10460 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10461 of macros.
10462
10463 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10464 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10465 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10466 flags.
10467
10468 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10469 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10470 any installed hardware versions can.
10471 [Steve Henson]
10472
10473 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10474 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10475 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10476 number.
10477 [Bodo Moeller]
10478
10479 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10480 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10481 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10482 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10483 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10484
10485 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10486 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10487 [Steve Henson]
10488
10489 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10490 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10491 [Richard Levitte]
10492
10493 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10494 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10495 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10496 features.
10497 [Steve Henson]
10498
10499 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10500 [Ulf Möller]
10501
10502 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10503 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10504 but no ssl client purpose.
10505 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10506
10507 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10508 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10509 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10510 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10511 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10512 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10513 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10514 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10515 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10516 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10517 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10518 [Steve Henson]
10519
10520 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10521 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10522 be obtained from the error queue.
10523 [Bodo Moeller]
10524
10525 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10526 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10527 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10528 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10529 [Bodo Moeller]
10530
10531 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10532 [Ulf Möller]
10533
10534 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10535 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10536 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10537 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10538 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10539 [Geoff Thorpe]
10540
10541 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10542 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10543 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10544 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10545 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10546 [Geoff Thorpe]
10547
10548 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10549 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10550 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10551 may not be NULL.
10552 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10553
10554 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10555 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10556 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10557 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10558 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10559 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10560 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10561 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10562 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10563 or "the configuration storage API"...
10564
10565 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10566
10567 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10568 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10569
10570 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10571
10572 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10573
10574 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10575 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10576 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10577 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10578 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10579 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10580 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10581
10582 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10583 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10584 [Richard Levitte]
10585
10586 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10587 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10588 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10589 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10590 [Bodo Moeller]
10591
10592 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10593 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10594 them in a portable way.
10595 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10596
10597 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10598
10599 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10600
10601 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10602 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10603
10604 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10605 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10606 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10607 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10608
10609 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10610 was larger than the MD block size.
10611 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10612
10613 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10614 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10615 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10616 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10617 components.
10618 [Steve Henson]
10619
10620 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10621 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10622 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10623
10624 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10625 discouraged.
10626 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10627
10628 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10629 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10630 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10631 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10632 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10633 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10634
10635 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10636 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10637
10638 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10639 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10640 [Bodo Moeller]
10641
10642 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10643 [Bodo Moeller]
10644
10645 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10646 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10647 its own key.
10648 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10649 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10650 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10651 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10652 [Bodo Moeller]
10653
10654 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10655 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10656 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10657 does not suppress any output.
10658 [Richard Levitte]
10659
10660 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10661 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10662 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10663 with all the associated security issues.
10664
10665 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10666 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10667 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10668 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10669 use the value in the default purpose.
10670 [Steve Henson]
10671
10672 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10673 and fix a memory leak.
10674 [Steve Henson]
10675
10676 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10677 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10678 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10679 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10680 [Bodo Moeller]
10681
10682 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10683 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10684 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10685 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10686 [Bodo Moeller]
10687
10688 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10689 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10690 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10691 [Bodo Moeller]
10692
10693 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10694 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10695 [Bodo Moeller]
10696
10697 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10698 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10699 which was free.
10700 [Steve Henson]
10701
10702 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10703 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10704 [Bodo Moeller]
10705
10706 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10707 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10708 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10709 [Bodo Moeller]
10710
10711 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10712 number generation fails.
10713 [Bodo Moeller]
10714
10715 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10716 [Bodo Moeller]
10717
10718 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10719 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10720
10721 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10722 [Ulf Möller]
10723
10724 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10725 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10726
10727 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10728 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10729
10730 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10731
10732 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10733 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10734 [Steve Henson]
10735
10736 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10737 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10738
10739 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10740 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10741 [Ulf Möller]
10742
10743 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10744 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10745 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10746 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10747 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10748 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10749
10750 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10751 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10752 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10753 for example.
10754 [Steve Henson]
10755
10756 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10757 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10758 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10759 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10760 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10761 counter, some don't.)
10762 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10763 counters or duplicate objects.
10764 [Steve Henson]
10765
10766 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10767 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10768 [Steve Henson]
10769
10770 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10771 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10772 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10773
10774 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10775 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10776 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10777 or -rand.
10778 [Ulf Möller]
10779
10780 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10781 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10782 [Steve Henson]
10783
10784 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10785 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10786 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10787 cipher list.
10788 [Steve Henson]
10789
10790 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10791 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10792 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10793 [Steve Henson]
10794
10795 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10796 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10797 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10798 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10799 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10800 should work without changes.
10801 [Richard Levitte]
10802
10803 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10804 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10805 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10806 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10807 must be defined. E.g.,
10808 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10809 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10810 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10811 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10812
10813 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10814 record layer.
10815 [Bodo Moeller]
10816
10817 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10818 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10819 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10820 [Steve Henson]
10821
10822 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10823 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10824 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10825 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10826 [Steve Henson]
10827
10828 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10829 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10830 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10831 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10832 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10833 is prompted for as usual.
10834 [Steve Henson]
10835
10836 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10837 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10838 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10839 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10840
10841 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10842 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10843 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10844 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10845 [Steve Henson]
10846
10847 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10848 [Andy Polyakov]
10849
10850 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10851 of seed file.
10852 [Steve Henson]
10853
10854 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10855 [Bodo Moeller]
10856
10857 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10858 [Steve Henson]
10859
10860 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10861 bits.
10862 [Ulf Möller]
10863
10864 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10865 [Ulf Möller]
10866
10867 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10868 [Andy Polyakov]
10869
10870 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10871 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10872 [Ulf Möller]
10873
10874 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10875 options to produce them.
10876 [Steve Henson]
10877
10878 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10879 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10880 [Ulf Möller]
10881
10882 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10883 for p == 0.
10884 [Ulf Möller]
10885
10886 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10887 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10888 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10889 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10890 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10891 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10892 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10893 [Steve Henson]
10894
10895 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10896 [Steve Henson]
10897
10898 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10899 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10900 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10901 [Bodo Moeller]
10902
10903 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10904 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10905
10906 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10907 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10908 [Ulf Möller]
10909
10910 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10911 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10912 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10913 has already seen).
10914 [Bodo Moeller]
10915
10916 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10917 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10918
10919 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10920 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10921 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10922 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10923 generation becomes much faster.
10924
10925 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10926 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10927 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10928 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10929 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10930 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10931 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10932 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10933 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10934 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10935 [Bodo Moeller]
10936
10937 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10938 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10939 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10940 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10941 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10942 trial division stage.
10943 [Bodo Moeller]
10944
10945 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10946 as ASN1_TIME.
10947 [Steve Henson]
10948
10949 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10950 [Steve Henson]
10951
10952 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10953 [Ulf Möller]
10954
10955 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10956 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10957 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10958 the comments.
10959 [Ulf Möller]
10960
10961 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10962 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10963 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10964 [Bodo Moeller]
10965
10966 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10967 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10968 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10969 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10970
10971 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10972 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10973 [Steve Henson]
10974
10975 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10976 [Ulf Möller]
10977
10978 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10979 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10980 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10981 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10982 [Ulf Möller]
10983
10984 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10985 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10986 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10987 [Ulf Möller]
10988
10989 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10990 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10991 (instead of parameters) in future.
10992 [Steve Henson]
10993
10994 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10995 when a new cipher list is set.
10996 [Steve Henson]
10997
10998 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10999 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11000 wrong.
11001
11002 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11003 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11004 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11005
11006 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11007 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11008 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11009 an error is flagged.
11010
11011 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11012 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11013 the readability was also increased :-)
11014 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11015
11016 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11017 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11018 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11019 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11020 as the root CA.
11021 [Steve Henson]
11022
11023 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11024 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11025 [Steve Henson]
11026
11027 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11028 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11029 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11030 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11031 instead.
11032
11033 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11034 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11035 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11036 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11037 because they handle more complex structures.)
11038 [Steve Henson]
11039
11040 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11041 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11042 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11043 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11044
11045 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11046 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11047 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11048 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11049 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11050 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11051 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11052 [Ulf Möller]
11053
11054 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11055 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11056 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11057 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11058 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11059 [Bodo Moeller]
11060
11061 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11062 [Bodo Moeller]
11063
11064 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11065 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11066 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11067 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11068 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11069 to use this.
11070
11071 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11072 code.
11073 [Steve Henson]
11074
11075 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11076 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11077 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11078 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11079 [Steve Henson]
11080
11081 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11082 [Ulf Möller]
11083
11084 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11085 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11086 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11087 international characters are used.
11088
11089 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11090 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11091 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11092 in ASN1 order.
11093 [Steve Henson]
11094
11095 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11096 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11097 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11098 request.
11099
11100 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11101 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11102 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11103 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11104 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11105 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11106
11107 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11108 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11109 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11110 be handled by the string table functions.
11111
11112 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11113 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11114 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11115 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11116 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11117 types at all.
11118 [Steve Henson]
11119
11120 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11121 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11122 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11123 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11124 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11125
11126 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11127 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11128 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11129 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11130 [Bodo Moeller]
11131
11132 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11133 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11134 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11135 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11136 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11137 SHA1.
11138 [Andy Polyakov]
11139
11140 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11141 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11142 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11143 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11144 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11145 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11146 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11147 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11148
11149 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11150 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11151 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11152 [Steve Henson]
11153
11154 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11155 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11156 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11157 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11158 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11159 support to pkcs8 application.
11160 [Steve Henson]
11161
11162 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11163 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11164 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11165 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11166 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11167 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11168 [Bodo Moeller]
11169
11170 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11171 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11172 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11173 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11174 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11175 consistency.
11176 [Bodo Moeller]
11177
11178 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11179 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11180 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11181 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11182 example.
11183 [Steve Henson]
11184
11185 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11186 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11187 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11188 and any application specific purposes.
11189
11190 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11191 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11192 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11193 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11194 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11195 if the certificate is self signed.
11196 [Steve Henson]
11197
11198 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11199 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11200 [Steve Henson]
11201
11202 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11203 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11204 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11205 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11206 [Steve Henson]
11207
11208 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11209 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11210 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11211 Update documentation.
11212 [Steve Henson]
11213
11214 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11215 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11216 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11217 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11218 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11219 [Steve Henson]
11220
11221 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11222 for details.
11223 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11224
11225 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11226 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11227 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11228 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11229 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11230 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11231 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11232 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11233 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11234 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11235
11236 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11237
11238 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11239 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11240 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11241 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11242 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11243
11244 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11245 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11246 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11247 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11248 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11249 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11250 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11251 request additional information:
11252 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11253 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11254
11255 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11256 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11257 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11258 options.
11259
11260 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11261 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11262
11263 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11264 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11265 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11266
11267 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11268 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11269
11270 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11271 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11272 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11273 algorithm.
11274 [Steve Henson]
11275
11276 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11277 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11278 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11279
11280 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11281 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11282 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11283 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11284 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11285 included in OpenSSL.
11286 [Steve Henson]
11287
11288 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11289 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11290 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11291 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11292 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11293 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11294 [Bodo Moeller]
11295
11296 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11297 PKCS12 structure.
11298 [Steve Henson]
11299
11300 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11301 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11302 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11303 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11304 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11305 structure.
11306 [Steve Henson]
11307
11308 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11309 need initialising.
11310 [Steve Henson]
11311
11312 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11313 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11314 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11315 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11316 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11317 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11318 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11319 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11320 be maintained manually.
11321
11322 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11323 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11324 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11325 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11326 work because people forget to call this function]
11327 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11328 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11329 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11330 [Steve Henson]
11331
11332 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11333 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11334 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11335 should be discouraged from doing it.
11336 [Ben Laurie]
11337
11338 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11339 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11340 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11341 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11342 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11343 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11344 [Steve Henson]
11345
11346 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11347 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11348 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11349
11350 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11351 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11352 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11353
11354 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11355 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11356 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11357 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11358 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11359 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11360
11361 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11362 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11363 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11364
11365 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11366 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11367 and vice versa.
11368
11369 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11370 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11371 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11372 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11373 [Steve Henson]
11374
11375 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11376 [Steve Henson]
11377
11378 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11379 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11380 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11381 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11382 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11383 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11384 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11385 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11386 keys so we should be OK.
11387
11388 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11389 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11390 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11391 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11392 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11393 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11394 stay in the name of compatibility.
11395
11396 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11397 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11398 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11399
11400 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11401 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11402 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11403 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11404 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11405 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11406 supplied key).
11407 [Steve Henson]
11408
11409 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11410 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11411 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11412 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11413 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11414 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11415 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11416 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11417 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11418 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11419 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11420 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11421 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11422 [Steve Henson]
11423
11424 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11425 [Steve Henson]
11426
11427 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11428 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11429 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11430 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11431 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11432 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11433 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11434 openssl verify ss.pem
11435 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11436 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11437 is OK.
11438 [Steve Henson]
11439
11440 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11441 (and add it to external session representation).
11442 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11443 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11444 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11445 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11446 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11447 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11448 security holes.
11449 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11450
11451 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11452 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11453 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11454 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11455
11456 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11457 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11458 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11459 [Steve Henson]
11460
11461 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11462 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11463 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11464 code.
11465 [Steve Henson]
11466
11467 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11468 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11469 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11470
11471 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11472 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11473 certificate auxiliary information.
11474 [Steve Henson]
11475
11476 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11477 the 'enc' command.
11478 [Steve Henson]
11479
11480 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11481 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11482 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11483 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11484 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11485 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11486 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11487 [Richard Levitte]
11488
11489 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11490 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11491 [Steve Henson]
11492
11493 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11494 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11495 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11496 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11497 [Steve Henson]
11498
11499 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11500 [Steve Henson]
11501
11502 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11503 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11504 [Steve Henson]
11505
11506 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11507 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11508 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11509 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11510 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11511 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11512 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11513 using the new 'x509' options.
11514
11515 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11516 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11517 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11518 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11519 for all purposes.
11520 [Steve Henson]
11521
11522 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11523 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11524 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11525 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11526 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11527 [Mark Cox]
11528
11529 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11530 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11531 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11532 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11533 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11534 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11535 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11536 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11537 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11538 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11539 [Steve Henson]
11540
11541 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11542 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11543 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11544 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11545 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11546 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11547 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11548 [Steve Henson]
11549
11550 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11551 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11552 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11553 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11554 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11555 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11556 openssl.cnf for more info.
11557 [Steve Henson]
11558
11559 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11560 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11561 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11562 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11563 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11564 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11565 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11566 md should be large enough anyway.
11567 [Bodo Moeller]
11568
11569 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11570 for handling the random seed file.
11571
11572 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11573 ca,
11574 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11575 s_client,
11576 s_server,
11577 x509 (when signing).
11578 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11579 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11580 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11581
11582 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11583 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11584 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11585 that support '-rand'.
11586 [Bodo Moeller]
11587
11588 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11589 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11590 [Bodo Moeller]
11591
11592 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11593 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11594 [Bill Perry]
11595
11596 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11597 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11598 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11599 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11600 is suitable.
11601 [Steve Henson]
11602
11603 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11604 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11605 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11606 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11607 [Steve Henson]
11608
11609 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11610 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11611 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11612 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11613 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11614 print out all the purposes.
11615 [Steve Henson]
11616
11617 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11618 functions.
11619 [Steve Henson]
11620
11621 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11622 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11623 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11624 single function call.
11625 [Steve Henson]
11626
11627 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11628 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11629 [Andy Polyakov]
11630
11631 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11632 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11633 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11634 [Steve Henson]
11635
11636 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11637 when producing the local key id.
11638 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11639
11640 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11641 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11642 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11643 "server.pem".
11644 [Steve Henson]
11645
11646 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11647 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11648 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11649 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11650 [Steve Henson]
11651
11652 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11653 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11654 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11655 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11656
11657 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11658 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11659 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11660 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11661
11662 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11663 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11664 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11665 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11666 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11667 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11668 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11669 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11670 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11671 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11672 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11673 trivial: move one line.
11674 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11675
11676 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11677 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11678 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11679 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11680 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11681 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11682 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11683 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11684 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11685 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11686 with an event loop for example.
11687 [Steve Henson]
11688
11689 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11690 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11691 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11692 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11693 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11694 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11695 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11696 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11697 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11698 [Steve Henson]
11699
11700 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11701 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11702 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11703 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11704 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11705 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11706 [Steve Henson]
11707
11708 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11709 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11710 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11711 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11712
11713 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11714 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11715 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11716 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11717 key generation.
11718 [Steve Henson]
11719
11720 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11721 (still largely untested)
11722 [Bodo Moeller]
11723
11724 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11725 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11726 [Steve Henson]
11727
11728 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11729 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11730 [Steve Henson]
11731
11732 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11733 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11734 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11735 [Bodo Moeller]
11736
11737 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11738 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11739 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11740 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11741 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11742 [Steve Henson]
11743
11744 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11745 [Andy Polyakov]
11746
11747 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11748 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11749 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11750 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11751 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11752 in ca.
11753 [Steve Henson]
11754
11755 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11756 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11757 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11758 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11759 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11760 [Steve Henson]
11761
11762 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11763 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11764 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11765 are otherwise ignored at present.
11766 [Steve Henson]
11767
11768 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11769 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11770 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11771 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11772 copied until the next read.
11773 [Steve Henson]
11774
11775 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11776 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11777 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11778 [Steve Henson]
11779
11780 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11781 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11782 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11783 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11784 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11785 associated functions.
11786 [Steve Henson]
11787
11788 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11789 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11790 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11791 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11792 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11793 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11794 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11795 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11796 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11797 memory BIOs.
11798 [Steve Henson]
11799
11800 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11801 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11802 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11803 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11804 [Bodo Moeller]
11805
11806 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11807 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11808 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11809 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11810 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11811 functionality.
11812 [Steve Henson]
11813
11814 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11815 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11816 under Win32.
11817 [Steve Henson]
11818
11819 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11820 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11821 extensions to be obtained and added.
11822 [Steve Henson]
11823
11824 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11825 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11826 [Bodo Moeller]
11827
11828 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11829
11830 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11831 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11832
11833 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11834 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11835
11836 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11837 program.
11838 [Steve Henson]
11839
11840 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11841 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11842 DH parameters contain its length).
11843
11844 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11845 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11846 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11847 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11848 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11849 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11850 utter importance to use
11851 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11852 or
11853 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11854 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11855 attacks may become possible!
11856 [Bodo Moeller]
11857
11858 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11859 [Bodo Moeller]
11860
11861 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11862 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11863 [Steve Henson]
11864
11865 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11866 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11867 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11868 or long name.
11869 [Steve Henson]
11870
11871 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11872 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11873 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11874 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11875 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11876 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11877 private key operations.
11878 [Steve Henson]
11879
11880 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11881 [Andy Polyakov]
11882
11883 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11884 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11885 to
11886 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11887 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11888 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11889 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11890 the password callback is called.
11891 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11892
11893 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11894
11895 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11896 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11897 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11898 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11899 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11900 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11901 this will work.
11902
11903 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11904 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11905 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11906 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11907 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11908 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11909 [Bodo Moeller]
11910
11911 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11912 [Andy Polyakov]
11913
11914 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11915 delete an unused file.
11916 [Ulf Möller]
11917
11918 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11919 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11920 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11921 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11922 [Steve Henson]
11923
11924 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11925 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11926 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11927 of an error.
11928 [Bodo Moeller]
11929
11930 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11931 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11932 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11933
11934 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11935 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11936 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11937 comparison" warnings.
11938 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11939 [Steve Henson]
11940
11941 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11942 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11943 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11944 [Steve Henson]
11945
11946 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11947 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11948
11949 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11950 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11951
11952 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11953 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11954 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11955
11956 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11957 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11958 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11959 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11960 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11961 this bug.
11962 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11963
11964 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11965 The interface is as follows:
11966 Applications can use
11967 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11968 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11969 "off" is now the default.
11970 The library internally uses
11971 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11972 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11973 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11974
11975 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11976 even the default) are now avoided.
11977
11978 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11979 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11980 than just having a counter.
11981
11982 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11983
11984 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11985 extensions.
11986 [Bodo Moeller]
11987
11988 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11989 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11990 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11991 Initial "mode" flags are:
11992
11993 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11994 a single record has been written.
11995 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11996 retries use the same buffer location.
11997 (But all of the contents must be
11998 copied!)
11999 [Bodo Moeller]
12000
12001 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12002 worked.
12003
12004 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12005 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12006
12007 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12008 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12009 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12010 [Steve Henson]
12011
12012 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12013 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12014 test programs.
12015 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12016
12017 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12018 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12019 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12020 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12021 point to the end.
12022 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12023 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12024
12025 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12026 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12027 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12028 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12029 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12030 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12031 [Steve Henson]
12032
12033 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12034 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12035 necessary function names.
12036 [Steve Henson]
12037
12038 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12039 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12040 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12041 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12042 [Bodo Moeller]
12043
12044 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12045 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12046 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12047 [Steve Henson]
12048
12049 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12050 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12051 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12052 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12053 such programs?)
12054 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12055 need locks.
12056 [Bodo Moeller]
12057
12058 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12059 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12060 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12061 [Bodo Moeller]
12062
12063 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12064 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12065 appropriate.
12066 [Bodo Moeller]
12067
12068 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12069 for the encoded length.
12070 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12071
12072 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12073 [Steve Henson]
12074
12075 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12076 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12077 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12078 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12079 [Steve Henson]
12080
12081 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12082 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12083 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12084
12085 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12086 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12087 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12088 unusual formatting.
12089 [Steve Henson]
12090
12091 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12092 to use the new extension code.
12093 [Steve Henson]
12094
12095 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12096 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12097 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12098 constant.
12099 [Steve Henson]
12100
12101 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12102 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12103 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12104 [Bodo Moeller]
12105
12106 #if 0
12107 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12108 [Ben Laurie]
12109 #else
12110 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12111 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12112 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12113 #endif
12114
12115 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12116 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12117 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12118 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12119 [Ben Laurie]
12120
12121 *) DES library cleanups.
12122 [Ulf Möller]
12123
12124 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12125 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12126 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12127 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12128 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12129 of v2.0.
12130 [Steve Henson]
12131
12132 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12133 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12134 [Bodo Moeller]
12135
12136 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12137 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12138 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12139 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12140 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12141 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12142 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12143 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12144 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12145 [Steve Henson]
12146
12147 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12148 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12149 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12150 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12151 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12152 value doesn't matter.
12153 [Steve Henson]
12154
12155 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12156 support mutable.
12157 [Ben Laurie]
12158
12159 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12160 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12161 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12162 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12163
12164 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12165 [Ulf Möller]
12166
12167 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12168 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12169 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12170
12171 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12172 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12173
12174 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12175 [Ben Laurie]
12176
12177 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12178 [Ben Laurie]
12179
12180 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12181 [Ben Laurie]
12182
12183 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12184 [Bodo Moeller]
12185
12186
12187 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12188
12189 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12190
12191 *) Updated some demos.
12192 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12193
12194 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12195 [Wu Zhigang]
12196
12197 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12198 [Steve Henson]
12199
12200 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12201 [Steve Henson]
12202
12203 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12204 instead of using a fixed path.
12205 [Bodo Moeller]
12206
12207 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12208 [Andy Polyakov]
12209
12210 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12211 [Richard Levitte]
12212
12213
12214 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12215
12216 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12217 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12218 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12219
12220 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12221 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12222 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12223 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12224 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12225 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12226 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12227 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12228 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12229 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12230 [Steve Henson]
12231
12232 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12233 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12234 [Steve Henson]
12235
12236 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12237 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12238 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12239 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12240 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12241
12242 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12243 [Bodo Moeller]
12244
12245 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12246 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12247 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12248 [Steve Henson]
12249
12250 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12251 [Ben Laurie]
12252
12253 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12254 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12255 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12256 key elements as negative integers.
12257 [Steve Henson]
12258
12259 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12260 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12261
12262 *) VMS support.
12263 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12264
12265 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12266 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12267 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12268 [Steve Henson]
12269
12270 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12271 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12272 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12273 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12274 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12275 [Bodo Moeller]
12276
12277 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12278 [Ulf Möller]
12279
12280 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12281 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12282 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12283 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12284
12285 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12286 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12287 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12288
12289 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12290 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12291 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12292 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12293 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12294 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12295 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12296 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12297 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12298
12299 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12300 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12301 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12302 does not influence s as it used to.
12303
12304 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12305 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12306 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12307 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12308 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12309 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12310 [Bodo Moeller]
12311
12312 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12313 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12314 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12315 key type.
12316 [Steve Henson]
12317
12318 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12319 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12320 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12321 and 'x509').
12322 [Steve Henson]
12323
12324 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12325 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12326 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12327 extension option.
12328 [Steve Henson]
12329
12330 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12331 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12332 [Ben Laurie]
12333
12334 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12335 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12336
12337 *) Support Mingw32.
12338 [Ulf Möller]
12339
12340 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12341 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12342
12343 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12344 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12345
12346 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12347 [Ulf Möller]
12348
12349 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12350 [Anonymous]
12351
12352 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12353 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12354
12355 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12356 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12357 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12358 DER-encoded.)
12359 [Bodo Moeller]
12360
12361 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12362 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12363 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12364 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12365 now it really counts the depth.
12366 [Bodo Moeller]
12367
12368 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12369 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12370 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12371 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12372 didn't match the private key).
12373
12374 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12375 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12376 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12377 [Bodo Moeller]
12378
12379 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12380 [Ulf Möller]
12381
12382 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12383 David Harris.
12384 [Bodo Moeller]
12385
12386 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12387 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12388 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12389 [Bodo Moeller]
12390
12391 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12392 [Bodo Moeller]
12393
12394 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12395 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12396 such as /usr/local/bin.
12397 [Bodo Moeller]
12398
12399 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12400 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12401
12402 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12403 [Ulf Möller]
12404
12405 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12406 extension adding in x509 utility.
12407 [Steve Henson]
12408
12409 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12410 [Ulf Möller]
12411
12412 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12413 prototypes.
12414 [Steve Henson]
12415
12416 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12417 [Ulf Möller]
12418
12419 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12420 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12421 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12422 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12423 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12424 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12425 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12426 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12427 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12428 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12429 [Steve Henson]
12430
12431 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12432 [Bodo Moeller]
12433
12434 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12435 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12436 [Bodo Moeller]
12437
12438 *) Fix some race conditions.
12439 [Bodo Moeller]
12440
12441 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12442 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12443 [Steve Henson]
12444
12445 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12446 [Ulf Möller]
12447
12448 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12449 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12450 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12451 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12452
12453 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12454 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12455
12456 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12457 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12458 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12459
12460 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12461 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12462
12463 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12464 [Ulf Möller]
12465
12466 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12467 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12468
12469 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12470 [Ulf Möller]
12471
12472 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12473 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12474
12475 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12476 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12477 [Steve Henson]
12478
12479 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12480 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12481 [Ben Laurie]
12482
12483 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12484 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12485 [Steve Henson]
12486
12487 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12488 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12489 [Steve Henson]
12490
12491 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12492 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12493 [Steve Henson]
12494
12495 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12496 support typesafe stack.
12497 [Steve Henson]
12498
12499 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12500 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12501
12502 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12503 old X509V3 handling code.
12504 [Steve Henson]
12505
12506 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12507 [Ulf Möller]
12508
12509 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12510 [Bodo Moeller]
12511
12512 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12513 [Ben Laurie]
12514
12515 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12516 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12517
12518 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12519 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12520 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12521 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12522 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12523 [Ben Laurie]
12524
12525 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12526 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12527 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12528 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12529 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12530
12531 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12532 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12533 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12534 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12535
12536 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12537 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12538 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12539 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12540
12541 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12542 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12543 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12544 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12545 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12546 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12547 [Bodo Moeller]
12548
12549 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12550 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12551 [Bodo Moeller]
12552
12553 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12554 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12555 [Ulf Möller]
12556
12557 *) Tweaks to Configure
12558 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12559
12560 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12561 yet...
12562 [Steve Henson]
12563
12564 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12565 [Ulf Möller]
12566
12567 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12568 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12569 [Ulf Möller]
12570
12571 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12572 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12573 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12574 [Bodo Moeller]
12575
12576 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12577 [Bodo Moeller]
12578
12579 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12580 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12581 [Steve Henson]
12582
12583 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12584 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12585 to library startup routines.
12586 [Steve Henson]
12587
12588 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12589 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12590 codes along the way.
12591 [Steve Henson]
12592
12593 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12594 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12595 objects to objects.h
12596 [Steve Henson]
12597
12598 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12599 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12600 [Steve Henson]
12601
12602 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12603 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12604
12605 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12606 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12607 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12608
12609 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12610 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12611 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12612
12613 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12614 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12615 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12616
12617
12618 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12619
12620 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12621 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12622 [Ben Laurie]
12623
12624 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12625 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12626 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12627 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12628 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12629
12630 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12631 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12632 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12633 document.
12634 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12635
12636 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12637 Malloc, Free.
12638 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12639
12640 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12641 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12642
12643 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12644 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12645 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12646 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12647
12648 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12649 [Ben Laurie]
12650
12651 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12652 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12653 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12654 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12655 [Steve Henson]
12656
12657 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12658 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12659 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12660 [Steve Henson]
12661
12662 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12663 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12664 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12665 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12666 installed as `perl').
12667 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12668
12669 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12670 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12671
12672 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12673 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12674 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12675 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12676 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12677 [Steve Henson]
12678
12679 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12680 [Ben Laurie]
12681
12682 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12683 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12684 is horrible: I feel ill....
12685 [Steve Henson]
12686
12687 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12688 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12689 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12690 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12691 [Steve Henson]
12692
12693 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12694 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12695
12696 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12697 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12698 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12699 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12700
12701 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12702 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12703 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12704 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12705 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12706 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12707 openssl_bio.xs.
12708 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12709
12710 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12711 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12712
12713 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12714 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12715
12716 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12717 [Ben Laurie]
12718
12719 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12720 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12721 in CRLs.
12722 [Steve Henson]
12723
12724 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12725 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12726 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12727 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12728 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12729 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12730 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12731 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12732 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12733 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12734 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12735
12736 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12737 [Ben Laurie]
12738
12739 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12740 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12741 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12742 for linking it into DSOs.
12743 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12744
12745 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12746 Fixed.
12747 [Ben Laurie]
12748
12749 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12750 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12751 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12752 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12753 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12754 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12755
12756 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12757 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12758 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12759 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12760 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12761 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12762 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12763
12764 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12765 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12766 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12767 encryption.
12768 [Ben Laurie]
12769
12770 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12771 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12772 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12773 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12774 [Steve Henson]
12775
12776 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12777 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12778 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12779 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12780 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12781 field as blank.
12782 [Steve Henson]
12783
12784 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12785 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12786 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12787 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12788 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12789
12790 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12791 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12792 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12793
12794 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12795 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12796
12797 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12798 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12799 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12800 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12801 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12802 [Steve Henson]
12803
12804 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12805 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12806 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12807 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12808 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12809 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12810 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12811 [Ben Laurie]
12812
12813 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12814 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12815 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12816 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12817 [Ben Laurie]
12818
12819 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12820 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12821
12822 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12823 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12824 [Steve Henson]
12825
12826 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12827 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12828 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12829 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12830 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12831 (e.g. s_server).
12832 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12833 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12834 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12835 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12836 no way to reconfigure them.
12837 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12838 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12839 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12840 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12841 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12842 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12843
12844 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12845 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12846 recognized by the users.
12847 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12848
12849 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12850 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12851 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12852 already masked variable.
12853 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12854
12855 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12856 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12857
12858 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12859 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12860 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12861 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12862
12863 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12864 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12865 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12866
12867 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12868 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12869 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12870 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12871 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12872 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12873 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12874 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12875 now, too.
12876 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12877
12878 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12879 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12880 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12881
12882 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12883 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12884 config file.
12885 [Steve Henson]
12886
12887 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12888 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12889
12890 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12891 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12892 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12893 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12894 [Ben Laurie]
12895
12896 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12897 [Steve Henson]
12898
12899 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12900 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12901
12902 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12903 [Ben Laurie]
12904
12905 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12906 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12907 [Steve Henson]
12908
12909 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12910 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12911 [Steve Henson]
12912
12913 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12914 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12915 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12916 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12917 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12918 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12919 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12920 Ben Laurie]
12921
12922 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12923 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12924
12925 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12926 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12927 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12928 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12929 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12930
12931 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12932 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12933 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12934 [Steve Henson]
12935
12936 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12937 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12938 an example.
12939 [Steve Henson]
12940
12941 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12942 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12943 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12944
12945 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12946 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12947 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12948 build instructions.
12949 [Steve Henson]
12950
12951 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12952 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12953 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12954 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12955 [Steve Henson]
12956
12957 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12958 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12959 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12960 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12961 [Ben Laurie]
12962
12963 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12964 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12965 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12966 so it wasn't spotted.
12967 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12968
12969 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12970 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12971 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12972 vectors if you have them.
12973 [Ben Laurie]
12974
12975 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12976 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12977 [Ben Laurie]
12978
12979 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12980 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12981 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12982 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12983 If you do a:
12984 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12985 it will update them.
12986 [Steve Henson]
12987
12988 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12989 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12990 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12991 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12992 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12993 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12994 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12995 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12996
12997 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12998 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12999 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13000 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13001 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13002 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13003 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13004 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13005 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13006 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13007
13008 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13009 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13010 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13011 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13012 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13013 [Steve Henson]
13014
13015 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13016 INTEGER code.
13017 [Steve Henson]
13018
13019 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13020 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13021
13022 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13023 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13024
13025 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13026 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13027 [Ben Laurie]
13028
13029 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13030 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13031
13032 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13033 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13034
13035 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13036 [Steve Henson]
13037
13038 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13039 few typos.
13040 [Steve Henson]
13041
13042 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13043 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13044 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13045 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13046
13047 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13048 [Steve Henson]
13049
13050 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13051 [Steve Henson]
13052
13053 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13054 [Steve Henson]
13055
13056 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13057 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13058 [Steve Henson]
13059
13060 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13061 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13062 CA extensions.
13063 [Steve Henson]
13064
13065 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13066 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13067 [Steve Henson]
13068
13069 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13070 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13071 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13072 [Steve Henson]
13073
13074 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13075 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13076 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13077 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13078 properly to be processed.
13079 [Steve Henson]
13080
13081 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13082 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13083 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13084 [Ben Laurie]
13085
13086 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13087 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13088
13089 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13090 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13091 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13092 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13093 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13094 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13095 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13096 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13097 or delete all the .err files.
13098 [Steve Henson]
13099
13100 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13101 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13102 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13103 to regenerate it if needed.
13104 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13105 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13106
13107 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13108 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13109
13110 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13111 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13112 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13113 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13114 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13115 [Steve Henson]
13116
13117 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13118 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13119
13120 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13121 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13122
13123 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13124 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13125 error, but didn't set one).
13126 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13127
13128 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13129 [Ben Laurie]
13130
13131 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13132 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13133 [Steve Henson]
13134
13135 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13136 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13137
13138 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13139 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13140 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13141 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13142 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13143 OID is not part of the table.
13144 [Steve Henson]
13145
13146 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13147 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13148 [Ben Laurie]
13149
13150 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13151 [Ben Laurie]
13152
13153 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13154 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13155 was "1234").
13156 [Steve Henson]
13157
13158 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13159 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13160
13161 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13162 NULL pointers.
13163 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13164
13165 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13166 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13167
13168 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13169 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13170
13171 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13172 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13173
13174 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13175 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13176 [Ben Laurie]
13177
13178 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13179 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13180 [Steve Henson]
13181
13182 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13183 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13184
13185 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13186 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13187
13188 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13189 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13190
13191 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13192 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13193
13194 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13195 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13196 unused in the certificate verification process.
13197 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13198
13199 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13200 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13201 [Steve Henson]
13202
13203 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13204 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13205 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13206
13207 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13208 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13209 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13210 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13211 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13212
13213 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13214 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13215 [Steve Henson]
13216
13217 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13218 [Steve Henson]
13219
13220 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13221 [Paul Sutton]
13222
13223 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13224 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13225
13226 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13227 [Ben Laurie]
13228
13229 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13230 [Ben Laurie]
13231
13232 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13233 [Ben Laurie]
13234
13235 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13236 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13237 other error libraries.
13238 [Steve Henson]
13239
13240 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13241 [Steve Henson]
13242
13243 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13244 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13245 be read in.
13246 [Steve Henson]
13247
13248 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13249 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13250 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13251 the new set of documentation files.
13252 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13253
13254 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13255 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13256 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13257 number of arguments.
13258 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13259
13260 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13261 [Ben Laurie]
13262
13263 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13264 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13265 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13266
13267 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13268 [Ben Laurie]
13269
13270 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13271 nextstep
13272 ncr-scde
13273 unixware-2.0
13274 unixware-2.0-pentium
13275 sco5-cc.
13276 [Ben Laurie]
13277
13278 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13279 before they are needed.
13280 [Ben Laurie]
13281
13282 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13283 [Ben Laurie]
13284
13285
13286 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13287
13288 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13289 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13290 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13291
13292 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13293 [Paul Sutton]
13294
13295 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13296 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13297 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13298
13299 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13300 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13301 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
