10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
13 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
14 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
15 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
16 [Matt Caswell]
17
18 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
19 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
20 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
21 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
22 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
23 BIO_snprintf().
24 [Richard Levitte]
25
26 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
27 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
28 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
29 [Richard Levitte]
30
31 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
32 [Bernd Edlinger]
33
34 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
35 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
36 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
37 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
38 [Bernd Edlinger]
39
40 *) Added a new FUNCerr() macro that takes a function name.
41 The macro SYSerr() is deprecated.
42 [Rich Salz]
43
44 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
45 [Paul Dale]
46
47 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
48 deprecated.
49 [Rich Salz]
50
51 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
52 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
53 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
54 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
55 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
56 functions for further details.
57 [Matt Caswell]
58
59 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
60 [Matt Caswell]
61
62 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
63 xxx_F_xxx define's.
64
65 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
66 [Rich Salz]
67
68 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
69 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
70 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
71 variables, only functions.
72 [Rich Salz]
73
74 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
75 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
76 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
77 would crash.
78 [Matt Caswell]
79
80 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
81 [Paul Yang]
82
83 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
84 [Tomas Mraz]
85
86 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
87 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
88 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
89 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
90 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
91 To enable or disable these checks use the control
92 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
93 [Shane Lontis]
94
95 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
96 #defines are deprecated.
97 [Todd Short]
98
99 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
100 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
101 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
102 [Kenji Mouri]
103
104 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
105 [Richard Levitte]
106
107 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
108 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
109 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
110 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
111 [Kurt Roeckx]
112
113 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
114 [Shane Lontis]
115
116 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
117 [Shane Lontis]
118
119 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
120 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
121 for scripting purposes.
122 [Richard Levitte]
123
124 *) The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
125 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
126 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
127 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
128 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
129 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
130 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
131 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
132 should not use these modes.
133 [Matt Caswell]
134
135 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
136 [Paul Dale]
137
138 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
139 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
140 [Paul Dale]
141
142 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
143 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
144 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
145 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
146
147 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
148 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
149 The configuration option is now deprecated.
150 [Richard Levitte]
151
152 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
153 digest name in its output.
154 [Richard Levitte]
155
156 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
157 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
158 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
159 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
160
161 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
162 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
163 categories.
164
165 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
166 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
167 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
168 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
169
170 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
171 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
172 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
173
174 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
175 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
176 [Richard Levitte]
177
178 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
179 [Shane Lontis]
180
181 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
182 [Shane Lontis]
183
184 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
185 the core.
186 [Paul Dale]
187
188 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
189 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
190 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
191 to affine coordinates.
192 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
193
194 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
195 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
196 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
197 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
198 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
199 [David Makepeace]
200
201 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
202 [Eneas U de Queiroz]
203
204 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
205 [Antoine Salon]
206
207 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
208 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
209 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
210 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
211 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
212 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
213
214 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
215 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
216 [Bernd Edlinger]
217
218 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
219 [Richard Levitte]
220
221 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
222 [Richard Levitte]
223
224 *) Change the possible version information given with OPENSSL_API_COMPAT.
225 It may be a pre-3.0.0 style numerical version number as it was defined
226 in 1.1.0, and it may also simply take the major version number.
227
228 Because of the version numbering of pre-3.0.0 releases, the values 0,
229 1 and 2 are equivalent to 0x00908000L (0.9.8), 0x10000000L (1.0.0) and
230 0x10100000L (1.1.0), respectively.
231 [Richard Levitte]
232
233 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
234
235 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
236 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
237 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
238 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
239 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
240 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
241 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
242 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
243 [Richard Levitte]
244
245 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
246 [Todd Short]
247
248 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
249 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
250 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
251 [Richard Levitte]
252
253 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
254 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
255 [Richard Levitte]
256
257 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
258 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
259 look into.
260 [Richard Levitte]
261
262 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
263 [Paul Dale]
264
265 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
266 [Richard Levitte]
267
268 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
269 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
270 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
271 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
272 [Richard Levitte]
273
274 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
275 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
276 [Antoine Salon]
277
278 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
279 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
280 are retained for backwards compatibility.
281 [Antoine Salon]
282
283 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
284 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
285 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
286 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
287 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
288 [Paul Dale]
289
290 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
291 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
292 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
293 [Richard Levitte]
294
295 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
296 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
297 [Richard Levitte]
298
299 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
300 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
301 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
302 [Boris Pismenny]
303
304 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
305
306 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
307 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
308 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
309 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
310 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
311 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
312 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
313 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
314 applications.
315 [Matt Caswell]
316
317 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
318
319 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
320
321 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
322 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
323 algorithm to recover the private key.
324
325 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
326 (CVE-2018-0734)
327 [Paul Dale]
328
329 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
330
331 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
332 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
333 algorithm to recover the private key.
334
335 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
336 (CVE-2018-0735)
337 [Paul Dale]
338
339 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
340 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
341 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
342
343 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
344 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
345 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
346 provided by the application.
347
348 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
349
350 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
351 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
352 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
353 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
354 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
355 of the ClientHello
356 [Benjamin Kaduk]
357
358 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
359 [Jack Lloyd]
360
361 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
362 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
363 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
364 [Patrick Steuer]
365
366 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
367 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
368 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
369 [Richard Levitte]
370
371 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
372 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
373 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
374 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
375 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
376 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
377 to work in projective coordinates.
378 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
379
380 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
381 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
382 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
383 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
384 to 2^-128.
385 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
386
387 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
388 [Kurt Roeckx]
389
390 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
391 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
392 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
393 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
394 [Richard Levitte]
395
396 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
397 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
398 [Andy Polyakov]
399
400 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
401 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
402 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
403 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
404 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
405
406 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
407 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
408 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
409 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
410 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
411 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
412
413 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
414 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
415 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
416 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
417 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
418 [Paul Dale]
419
420 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
421 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
422 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
423 authors.
424 [Matt Caswell]
425
426 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
427 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
428 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
429 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
430 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
431 multi-version installation is managed.
432 [Andy Polyakov]
433
434 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
435 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
436 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
437 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
438 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
439 [Billy Bob Brumley]
440
441 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
442 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
443 chosen point SCA attacks.
444 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
445
446 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
447 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
448 [Matt Caswell]
449
450 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
451 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
452 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
453 [Matt Caswell]
454
455 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
456 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
457 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
458 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
459 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
460 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
461 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
462 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
463 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
464 [Kurt Roeckx]
465
466 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
467 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
468 [Richard Levitte]
469
470 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
471 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
472 [Billy Bob Brumley]
473
474 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
475 binary and prime elliptic curves.
476 [Billy Bob Brumley]
477
478 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
479 constant time fixed point multiplication.
480 [Billy Bob Brumley]
481
482 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
483 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
484 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
485 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
486 ECDH derive operations).
487 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
488 Sohaib ul Hassan]
489
490 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
491 [Rich Salz]
492
493 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
494 randomness from the system.
495 [Matthias St. Pierre]
496
497 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
498 [Richard Levitte]
499
500 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
501 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
502 [Matt Caswell]
503
504 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
505 [Matt Caswell]
506
507 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
508 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
509
510 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
511 [Richard Levitte]
512
513 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
514 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
515 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
516 [Matt Caswell]
517
518 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
519 stack.
520 [Rich Salz]
521
522 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
523 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
524 [Bernd Edlinger]
525
526 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
527 [Matt Caswell]
528
529 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
530 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
531 [Matthias St. Pierre]
532
533 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
534 for the license change).
535 [Rich Salz]
536
537 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
538 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
539 [Matt Caswell]
540
541 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
542 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
543 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
544 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
545 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
546 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
547 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
548 [Matt Caswell]
549
550 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
551 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
552 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
553 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
554 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
555 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
556 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
557 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
558 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
559 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
560 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
561 written to stderr.
562 [Viktor Dukhovni]
563
564 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
565 Mike Hamburg.
566 [Matt Caswell]
567
568 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
569 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
570 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
571 get the search data out of them.
572 [Richard Levitte]
573
574 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
575 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
576 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
577 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
578 [Matt Caswell]
579
580 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
581
582 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
583 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
584 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
585 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
586 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
587 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
588
589 Some of its new features are:
590 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
591 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
592 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
593 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
594 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
595 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
596 operation
597 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
598
599 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
600 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
601 to display all sorts of configuration data.
602 [Richard Levitte]
603
604 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
605 [Richard Levitte]
606
607 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
608 [Paul Dale]
609
610 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
611 now been removed.
612 [Rich Salz]
613
614 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
615 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
616 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
617 debug (or make silent).
618 [Richard Levitte]
619
620 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
621 arguments to config / Configure.
622 [Richard Levitte]
623
624 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
625 [Paul Yang]
626
627 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
628 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
629 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
630 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
631
632 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
633 as documented in RFC6066.
634 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
635 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
636
637 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
638 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
639 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
640 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
641
642 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
643 original author does not agree with the license change.
644 [Rich Salz]
645
646 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
647 [Jon Spillett]
648
649 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
650 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
651 [Rich Salz]
652
653 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
654 without clearing the errors.
655 [Richard Levitte]
656
657 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
658 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
659 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
660 [Rich Salz]
661
662 *) Add SHA3.
663 [Andy Polyakov]
664
665 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
666 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
667 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
668 as a fallback).
669
670 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
671 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
672 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
673 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
674 [Richard Levitte]
675
676 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
677 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
678 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
679 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
680 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
681 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
682 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
683 [Richard Levitte]
684
685 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
686 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
687 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
688 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
689 [Richard Levitte]
690
691 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
692 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
693 error code calls like this:
694
695 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
696
697 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
698 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
699 affect new modules.
700 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
701
702 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
703 [Rich Salz]
704
705 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
706 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
707 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
708 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
709 [Richard Levitte]
710
711 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
712 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
713 than just the call where this user data is passed.
714 [Richard Levitte]
715
716 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
717 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
718 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
719
720 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
721 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
722 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
723 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
724 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
725 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
726 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
727 issues.
728 [Matt Caswell]
729
730 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
731 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
732 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
733 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
734 [Richard Levitte]
735
736 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
737 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
738 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
739
740 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
741 does for RSA, etc.
742 [Richard Levitte]
743
744 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
745 platform rather than 'mingw'.
746 [Richard Levitte]
747
748 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
749 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
750 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
751 certificates and CRLs.
752 [Paul Dale]
753
754 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
755 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
756 [Andy Polyakov]
757
758 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
759 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
760 [Richard Levitte]
761
762 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
763 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
764 which is the minimum version we support.
765 [Richard Levitte]
766
767 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
768 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
769 are no longer allowed.
770 [Emilia Käsper]
771
772 *) Add support for ARIA
773 [Paul Dale]
774
775 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
776 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
777 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
778 using "-servername".
779 [Matt Caswell]
780
781 *) Add support for SipHash
782 [Todd Short]
783
784 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
785 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
786 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
787 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
788 [Matt Caswell]
789
790 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
791 using the algorithm defined in
792 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
793 [Richard Levitte]
794
795 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
796 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
797
798 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
799 [Emilia Käsper]
800
801 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
802 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
803 [Rich Salz]
804
805
806 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
807
808 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
809
810 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
811 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
812 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
813 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
814 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
815
816 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
817 (CVE-2018-0732)
818 [Guido Vranken]
819
820 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
821
822 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
823 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
824 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
825 recover the private key.
826
827 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
828 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
829 (CVE-2018-0737)
830 [Billy Brumley]
831
832 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
833 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
834 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
835 [Richard Levitte]
836
837 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
838 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
839 [Andy Polyakov]
840
841 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
842 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
843 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
844 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
845 to 2^-128.
846 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
847
848 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
849 [Kurt Roeckx]
850
851 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
852 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
853 [Matt Caswell]
854
855 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
856 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
857 [Richard Levitte]
858
859 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
860 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
861 are no longer allowed.
862 [Emilia Käsper]
863
864 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
865
866 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
867 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
868 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
869 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
870 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
871 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
872 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
873 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
874 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
875 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
876 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
877 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
878 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
879 [Matt Caswell]
880
881 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
882
883 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
884
885 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
886 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
887 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
888 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
889 so this is considered safe.
890
891 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
892 project.
893 (CVE-2018-0739)
894 [Matt Caswell]
895
896 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
897
898 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
899 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
900 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
901 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
902 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
903 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
904
905 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
906 (IBM).
907 (CVE-2018-0733)
908 [Andy Polyakov]
909
910 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
911 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
912 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
913 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
914 [Richard Levitte]
915
916 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
917
918 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
919 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
920 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
921 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
922 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
923
924 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
925 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
926 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
927 [Matt Caswell]
928
929 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
930 exist.
931 [Rich Salz]
932
933 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
934
935 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
936 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
937 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
938 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
939 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
940 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
941 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
942 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
943 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
944 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
945
946 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
947 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
948
949 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
950 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
951 (CVE-2017-3738)
952 [Andy Polyakov]
953
954 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
955
956 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
957
958 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
959 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
960 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
961 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
962 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
963 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
964 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
965 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
966 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
967 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
968 key that is shared between multiple clients.
969
970 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
971 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
972
973 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
974 (CVE-2017-3736)
975 [Andy Polyakov]
976
977 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
978
979 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
980 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
981 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
982
983 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
984 (CVE-2017-3735)
985 [Rich Salz]
986
987 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
988
989 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
990 platform rather than 'mingw'.
991 [Richard Levitte]
992
993 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
994 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
995 which is the minimum version we support.
996 [Richard Levitte]
997
998 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
999
1000 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1001
1002 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1003 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1004 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1005 and servers are affected.
1006
1007 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1008 (CVE-2017-3733)
1009 [Matt Caswell]
1010
1011 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1012
1013 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1014
1015 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1016 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1017 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1018
1019 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1020 (CVE-2017-3731)
1021 [Andy Polyakov]
1022
1023 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1024
1025 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1026 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1027 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1028 of Service attack.
1029
1030 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1031 (CVE-2017-3730)
1032 [Matt Caswell]

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

1054 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1055
1056 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1057
1058 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1059 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1060 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1061
1062 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1063 (CVE-2016-7054)
1064 [Richard Levitte]
1065
1066 *) CMS Null dereference
1067
1068 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1069 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1070 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1071 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1072 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1073 affected.
1074
1075 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1076 (CVE-2016-7053)
1077 [Stephen Henson]
1078
1079 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1080
1081 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1082 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1083 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1084 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1085 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1086 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1087 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1088 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1089 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1090 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1091 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1092 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1093 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1094 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1095
1096 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1097 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1098 providing reproducible case.
1099 (CVE-2016-7055)
1100 [Andy Polyakov]
1101
1102 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1103 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1104 [Richard Levitte]
1105
1106 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1107
1108 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1109
1110 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1111 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1112 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1113 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1114 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1115 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1116
1117 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
1118
1119 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
1120 (CVE-2016-6309)
1121 [Matt Caswell]
1122
1123 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1124
1125 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1126
1127 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1128 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1129 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1130 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1131 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1132 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1133 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

1136 (CVE-2016-6304)
1137 [Matt Caswell]
1138
1139 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1140
1141 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1142 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1143 Denial Of Service attack.
1144
1145 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1146 (CVE-2016-6305)
1147 [Matt Caswell]
1148
1149 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1150 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1151
1152 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1153 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1154 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1155 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1156 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1157 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1158 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1159 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1160 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1161 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1162 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1163 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1164 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1165 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1166 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1167
1168 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1169 that the connection fails
1170 or
1171 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1172 very little free memory
1173 or
1174 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1175 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1176 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1177 memory to service the multiple requests.
1178
1179 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1180 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1181 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1182 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1183 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

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

1996 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1997 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1998 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1999
2000 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2001 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2002 [Steve Henson]
2003
2004 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2005
2006 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2007 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2008
2009 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2010 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2011
2012 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2013 effect.
2014
2015 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2016
2017 [Steve Henson]
2018
2019 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2020 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2021 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2022 algorithms and include tests cases.
2023 [Steve Henson]
2024
2025 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2026 enveloped data.
2027 [Steve Henson]
2028
2029 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2030 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2031 [Steve Henson]
2032
2033 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2034 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2035
2036 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2037 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2038 [Steve Henson]
2039
2040 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2041 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2042 failures.
2043 [Steve Henson]
2044
2045 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2046 sign or verify all in one operation.
2047 [Steve Henson]
2048
2049 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2050 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2051 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2052 [Steve Henson]
2053
2054 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2055 [Steve Henson]
2056
2057 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2058 [Steve Henson]
2059
2060 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2061 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2062 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2063 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2064 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2065 [Steve Henson]
2066
2067 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2068 based on NID.
2069 [Steve Henson]
2070
2071 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2072 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2073 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2074 [Steve Henson]
2075
2076 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2077 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2078
2079 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2080 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2081 [Steve Henson]
2082
2083 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2084 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2085 [Steve Henson]
2086
2087 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2088 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2089 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2090 [Steve Henson]
2091
2092 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2093 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2094 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2095 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2096 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2097 requested amount of entropy.
2098 [Steve Henson]
2099
2100 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2101 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2102 [Steve Henson]
2103
2104 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2105 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2106 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2107 support.
2108 [Steve Henson]
2109
2110 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2111 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2112 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2113 [Steve Henson]
2114
2115 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2116 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2117 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2118 will never use XTS mode.
2119 [Steve Henson]
2120
2121 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2122 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2123 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2124 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2125 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2126 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2127 [Steve Henson]
2128
2129 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2130 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2131 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2132 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2133 [Steve Henson]
2134
2135 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2136 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2137 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2138 [Steve Henson]
2139
2140 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2141 [Steve Henson]
2142
2143 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2144 [Steve Henson]
2145
2146 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2147 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2148 [Steve Henson]
2149
2150 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2151 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2152 [Steve Henson]
2153
2154 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2155 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2156 [Steve Henson]
2157
2158 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2159 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2160 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2161 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2162 and rename any affected symbols.
2163 [Steve Henson]
2164
2165 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2166 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2167 [Steve Henson]
2168
2169 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2170 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2171 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2172 [Steve Henson]
2173
2174 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2175 [Steve Henson]
2176
2177 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2178 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2179 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2180 [Steve Henson]
2181
2182 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2183 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2184 [Steve Henson]
2185
2186 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2187 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2188 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2189 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2190 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2191 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2192 set before the key.
2193 [Steve Henson]
2194
2195 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2196 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2197 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2198 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2199 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2200 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2201 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2202 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2203 [Steve Henson]
2204
2205 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2206 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2207 [Steve Henson]
2208
2209 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2210
2211 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2212 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2213
2214 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2215 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2216 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2217 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2218 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2219 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2220
2221 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2222 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2223 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2224 security.
2225 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2226
2227 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2228 parameters by name.
2229 [Steve Henson]
2230
2231 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2232 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2233 [Steve Henson]
2234
2235 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2236 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2237 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2238 [Steve Henson]
2239
2240 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2241 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2242 multi-process servers.
2243 [Steve Henson]
2244
2245 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2246 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2247 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2248 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2249 RAND_METHOD structure.
2250 [Steve Henson]
2251
2252 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2253 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2254 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2255 whose return value is often ignored.
2256 [Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2259 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2260 validated when establishing a connection.
2261 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
2262
2263 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2264
2265 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2266
2267 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2268 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2269 AES-NI.
2270
2271 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2272 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2273 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2274 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2275 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2276 bytes.
2277
2278 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2279 (CVE-2016-2107)
2280 [Kurt Roeckx]
2281
2282 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2283
2284 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2285 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2286 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2287 corruption.
2288
2289 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2290 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2291 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2292 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2293 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2294 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2295
2296 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2297 (CVE-2016-2105)
2298 [Matt Caswell]
2299
2300 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2301
2302 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2303 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2304 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2305 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2306 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2307 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2308 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2309 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2310 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2311 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2312 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2313 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2314 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2315 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2316 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2317 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2318
2319 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2320 (CVE-2016-2106)
2321 [Matt Caswell]
2322
2323 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2324
2325 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2326 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2327 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2328
2329 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2330 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2331 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2332 applications are not affected.
2333
2334 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2335 (CVE-2016-2109)
2336 [Stephen Henson]
2337
2338 *) EBCDIC overread
2339
2340 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2341 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2342 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2343
2344 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2345 (CVE-2016-2176)
2346 [Matt Caswell]
2347
2348 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2349 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2350 [Todd Short]
2351
2352 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2353 default.
2354 [Kurt Roeckx]
2355
2356 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2357 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2358 [Kurt Roeckx]
2359
2360 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2361
2362 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2363 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2364 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2365 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2366
2367 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2368 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2369 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2370 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2371 will need to explicitly call either of:
2372
2373 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2374 or
2375 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2376
2377 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2378 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2379 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2380 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2381 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2382 (CVE-2016-0800)
2383 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2384
2385 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2386
2387 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2388 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2389 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2390 considered rare.
2391
2392 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2393 libFuzzer.
2394 (CVE-2016-0705)
2395 [Stephen Henson]
2396
2397 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2398
2399 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2400
2401 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2402 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2403 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2404 is configured.
2405
2406 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2407 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2408 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2409 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2410 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2411 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2412 that of a valid user.
2413 (CVE-2016-0798)
2414 [Emilia Käsper]
2415
2416 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2417
2418 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2419 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2420 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2421 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2422 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2423 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2424 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2425 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2426 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2427 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2428 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2429
2430 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2431 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2432 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2433 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2434 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2435
2436 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2437 (CVE-2016-0797)
2438 [Matt Caswell]
2439
2440 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2441
2442 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2443 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2444 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2445
2446 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2447 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2448 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2449 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2450 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2451 also occur.
2452
2453 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2454 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2455 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2456 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2457 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2458 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2459 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2460 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2461 as command line arguments.
2462
2463 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2464 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2465 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2466
2467 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2468 (CVE-2016-0799)
2469 [Matt Caswell]
2470
2471 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2472
2473 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2474 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2475 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2476 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same

2484 [Andy Polyakov]
2485
2486 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2487 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2488 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2489 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2492 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2493 *) DH small subgroups
2494
2495 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2496 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2497 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2498 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2499 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2500 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2501 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2502 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2503 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2504 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2505
2506 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2507 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2508 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2509 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2510 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2511
2512 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2513 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2514 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2515 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2516
2517 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2518 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2519
2520 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2521 (CVE-2016-0701)
2522 [Matt Caswell]
2523
2524 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2525
2526 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2527 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2528 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2529 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2537
2538 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2539
2540 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2541 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2542 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2543 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2544 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2545 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2546 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2547 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2548 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2549 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2550 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2551 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2554 (CVE-2015-3193)
2555 [Andy Polyakov]
2556
2557 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2558
2559 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2560 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2561 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2562 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2563 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2564 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2565 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2566 authentication.
2567
2568 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
2569 (CVE-2015-3194)
2570 [Stephen Henson]
2571
2572 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2573
2574 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2575 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2576 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2577 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2578
2579 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2580 libFuzzer.
2581 (CVE-2015-3195)
2582 [Stephen Henson]
2583
2584 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2585 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2586 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2587 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

2594 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
2595
2596 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2597
2598 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2599 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2600 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2601 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2602 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2603 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2604
2605 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2606 (Google/BoringSSL).

2608
2609 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
2610

2612 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2613 restored.

2615
2616 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2617
2618 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2619
2620 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2621 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2622 field.
2623
2624 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2625 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2626 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2627 client authentication enabled.
2628
2629 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2630 (CVE-2015-1788)
2631 [Andy Polyakov]
2632
2633 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2634
2635 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2636 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2637 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2638 time string.
2639
2640 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2641 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2642 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2643 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2644 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2645 callbacks.
2646
2647 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2648 independently by Hanno Böck.
2649 (CVE-2015-1789)
2650 [Emilia Käsper]
2651
2652 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2653
2654 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2655 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2656 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2657
2658 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2659 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2660 servers are not affected.
2661
2662 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2663 (CVE-2015-1790)
2664 [Emilia Käsper]
2665
2666 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2667
2668 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2669 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2670 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2671 the CMS code.
2672 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.

2675
2676 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2677
2678 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2679 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2680 a double free of the ticket data.

2690
2691 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2692
2693 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2694 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2695 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2696
2697 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2698 University.
2699 (CVE-2015-0291)
2700 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2701
2702 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2703
2704 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2705 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2706 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2707 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2708 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2709 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2710 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2711 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2712
2713 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2714 (CVE-2015-0290)
2715 [Matt Caswell]
2716
2717 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2718
2719 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2720 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2721 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2722 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2723 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2724 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2725 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2726 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2727 server.
2728
2729 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2730 (CVE-2015-0207)
2731 [Matt Caswell]
2732
2733 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2734
2735 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2736 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2737 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2738 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2739 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2740 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2741 (CVE-2015-0286)
2742 [Stephen Henson]
2743
2744 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2745
2746 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2747 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2748 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2749 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2750 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2751 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2752 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2753
2754 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2755 (CVE-2015-0208)
2756 [Stephen Henson]
2757
2758 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2759
2760 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2761 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2762 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2763
2764 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2765 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2766 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2767 not affected.
2768 (CVE-2015-0287)
2769 [Stephen Henson]
2770
2771 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2772
2773 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2774 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2775 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2776
2777 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2778 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2779 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2780
2781 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).

2783 [Emilia Käsper]
2784
2785 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2786
2787 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2788 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2789 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2790
2791 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2792 (OpenSSL development team).
2793 (CVE-2015-0293)
2794 [Emilia Käsper]
2795
2796 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2797
2798 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2799 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2800 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2801 (CVE-2015-1787)
2802 [Matt Caswell]
2803
2804 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2805
2806 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2807 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2808 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2809 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2810 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2811 SSL_client_methodv23)
2812 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2813 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2814
2815 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2816 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2817 output may be predictable.
2818
2819 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2820 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2821
2822 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2823 (CVE-2015-0285)
2824 [Matt Caswell]
2825
2826 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2827
2828 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2829 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2830 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2831 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2832 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2833 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2834
2835 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2836 commit 517073cd4b.
2837 (CVE-2015-0209)
2838 [Matt Caswell]
2839
2840 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2841
2842 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2843 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2844
2845 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.

2851
2852 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2853
2854 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2855 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2856 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2857 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2858 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2859 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2860 [Andy Polyakov]
2861
2862 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2863 (other platforms pending).
2864 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2865
2866 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2867 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2868 [Rob Stradling]
2869
2870 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2871 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2872 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2873 [Bodo Moeller]
2874
2875 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2876 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2877 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2878 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2879 [Andy Polyakov]
2880
2881 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2882 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2883
2884 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2885 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2886 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2887 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2888 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2889
2890 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2891 [Andy Polyakov]
2892
2893 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2894 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2895 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2896 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2897
2898 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2899 RSAZ.
2900 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2901
2902 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2903 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2904 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2905 for TLS encrypt.
2906
2907 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2908 [Andy Polyakov]
2909
2910 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2911 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2912 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2916 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2917 [Steve Henson]
2918
2919 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2920 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2921 [Steve Henson]
2922
2923 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2924 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2925 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2926 algorithms and include tests cases.
2927 [Steve Henson]
2928
2929 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2930 structure.
2931 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2932
2933 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2934 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2935 [Steve Henson]
2936
2937 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2938 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2939 summary of the connection parameters.
2940 [Steve Henson]
2941
2942 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2943 of connection parameters.
2944 [Steve Henson]
2945
2946 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2947 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2948
2949 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2950 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2951 [Steve Henson]
2952
2953 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2957 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2958 [Steve Henson]
2959
2960 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2961 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2962 [Steve Henson]
2963
2964 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2965 certificates.
2966 [Steve Henson]
2967
2968 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2969 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2970 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2971 [Steve Henson]
2972
2973 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2974 [Steve Henson]
2975
2976 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2977 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2978 [Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2981 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2982 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2983 tracing.
2984 [Steve Henson]
2985
2986 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2987 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2988 [Steve Henson]
2989
2990 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2991 OID NID.
2992 [Steve Henson]
2993
2994 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2995 client to OpenSSL.
2996 [Steve Henson]
2997
2998 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2999 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3000 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3001 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3005 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3006 [Steve Henson]
3007
3008 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3009 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3010 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3011 comparison.
3012 [Steve Henson]
3013
3014 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3015 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3016 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3017 use the certificate.
3018 [Steve Henson]
3019
3020 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3021 [Steve Henson]
3022
3023 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3024 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3025 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3026 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3027 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3028 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3029 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3030
3031 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3032 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3033
3034 [Steve Henson]
3035
3036 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3037 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3038 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3039 [Steve Henson]
3040
3041 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3042 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3043 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3044 supported signature algorithms.
3045 [Steve Henson]
3046
3047 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3048 [Steve Henson]
3049
3050 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3051 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3052 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3053 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3054 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3055 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3056 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3057 [Steve Henson]
3058
3059 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3060 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3061 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3062 to have similar checks in it.
3063
3064 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3065 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3066 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3067 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3068 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3069 [Steve Henson]
3070
3071 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3072 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3073 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3074 shared signature algorithms.
3075 [Steve Henson]
3076
3077 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3078 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3079 to support them.
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3083 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3084 it couldn't be removed.
3085 [Steve Henson]
3086
3087 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3088 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3089 [Steve Henson]
3090
3091 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3092 functions. Add manual page.
3093 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3094
3095 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3096 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3097 a certificate.
3098 [Steve Henson]
3099
3100 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3101 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3102
3103 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3104 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3105 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3106 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3107 utility) or reject.
3108 [Steve Henson]
3109
3110 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3111 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3112 [Steve Henson]
3113
3114 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3115 platform support for Linux and Android.
3116 [Andy Polyakov]
3117
3118 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3119 [Andy Polyakov]
3120
3121 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3122 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3123 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3124 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3125 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3126 [Steve Henson]
3127
3128 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3129 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3130 the new parameter format automatically.
3131 [Steve Henson]
3132
3133 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3134 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3135 [Steve Henson]
3136
3137 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3138 [Steve Henson]
3139
3140 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3141 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3142 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3143 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3144 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3145 [Steve Henson]
3146
3147 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3148 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3149 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3150 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3151 to set list of supported curves.
3152 [Steve Henson]
3153
3154 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3155 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3156 to print out received values.
3157 [Steve Henson]
3158
3159 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3160 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3161 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3162 [Steve Henson]
3163
3164 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3165 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3166 [Steve Henson]
3167
3168 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3169 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3170 [Steve Henson]
3171
3172 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3173 certificates.
3174 [Steve Henson]
3175
3176 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3177 the certificate.
3178 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3179 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3180 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3181
3182 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3183
3184 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3185 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3186
3187 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3188
3189 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3190 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3191 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3192 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3193 (CVE-2014-3571)
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3197 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3198 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3199 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3200 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3201 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3202 (CVE-2015-0206)
3203 [Matt Caswell]
3204
3205 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3206 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3207 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3208 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3209 (CVE-2014-3569)
3210 [Kurt Roeckx]
3211
3212 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3213 ECDH ciphersuites.
3214
3215 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3216 reporting this issue.
3217 (CVE-2014-3572)
3218 [Steve Henson]
3219
3220 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3221 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3222 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3223 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3224 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3225 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3226 (CVE-2015-0204)
3227 [Steve Henson]
3228
3229 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3230 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3231 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3232 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3233 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3234 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3235 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3236 this issue.
3237 (CVE-2015-0205)
3238 [Steve Henson]
3239
3240 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3241 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3242
3243 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3244 and can vary with the CTX.
3245 [Adam Langley]
3246
3247 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3248
3249 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3250 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3251 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3252 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3253 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3254
3255 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3256
3257 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3258 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3259
3260 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3261
3262 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3263 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3264 errors for some broken certificates.
3265
3266 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3267
3268 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3269
3270 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3271 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3272
3273 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3274 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3275 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3276 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3277
3278 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3279 of the OpenSSL core team.
3280
3281 (CVE-2014-8275)
3282 [Steve Henson]
3283
3284 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3285 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3286 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3287 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3288 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3289 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3290 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3291 the OpenSSL core team.
3292 (CVE-2014-3570)
3293 [Andy Polyakov]
3294
3295 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3296 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3297 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3298 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3299 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3300
3301 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3302 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3303 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3304 [Emilia Käsper]
3305
3306 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3307 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3308 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3309 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3310 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3311
3312 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3313 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3314 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3315 [Emilia Käsper]
3316
3317 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3318
3319 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3320
3321 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3322 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3323 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3324 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3325 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3326 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3327 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3328
3329 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3330 (CVE-2014-3513)
3331 [OpenSSL team]
3332
3333 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3334
3335 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3336 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3337 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3338 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3339 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3340 attack.
3341 (CVE-2014-3567)
3342 [Steve Henson]
3343
3344 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3345
3346 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3347 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3348 configured to send them.
3349 (CVE-2014-3568)
3350 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3351
3352 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3353 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3354 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3355 (CVE-2014-3566)
3356 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3357
3358 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3359
3360 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3361 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3362 DigestInfo structures.
3363
3364 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3365
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3369
3370 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3371 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3372 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3373
3374 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3375 Group for discovering this issue.
3376 (CVE-2014-3512)
3377 [Steve Henson]
3378
3379 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3380 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3381 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3382 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3383 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3384
3385 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3386 researching this issue.
3387 (CVE-2014-3511)
3388 [David Benjamin]
3389
3390 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3391 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3392 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3393 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3394
3395 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3396 issue.
3397 (CVE-2014-3510)
3398 [Emilia Käsper]
3399
3400 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3401 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3402 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3403 (CVE-2014-3507)
3404 [Adam Langley]
3405
3406 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3407 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3408 Denial of Service attack.
3409 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3410 (CVE-2014-3506)
3411 [Adam Langley]
3412
3413 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3414 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3415 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3416 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3417 this issue.
3418 (CVE-2014-3505)
3419 [Adam Langley]
3420
3421 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3422 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3423 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3424
3425 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3426 issue.
3427 (CVE-2014-3509)
3428 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3429
3430 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3431 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3432 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3433 Denial of Service attack.
3434
3435 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3436 discovering and researching this issue.
3437 (CVE-2014-5139)
3438 [Steve Henson]
3439
3440 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3441 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3442 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3443 output to the attacker.
3444
3445 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3446 (CVE-2014-3508)
3447 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3448
3449 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3450 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3451 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3452 [Bodo Moeller]
3453
3454 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3455
3456 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3457 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3458 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3459
3460 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3461 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3462 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3463
3464 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3465 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3466 in a DoS attack.
3467
3468 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3469 (CVE-2014-0221)
3470 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3471
3472 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3473 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3474 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3475 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3476
3477 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3478 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3479
3480 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3481 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3482
3483 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3484 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3485 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3486
3487 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3488 compilation flags.
3489 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3490
3491 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3492 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3493 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3494
3495 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3496 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3497
3498 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3499
3500 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3501 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3502 server.
3503
3504 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3505 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3506 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3507 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3508
3509 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3510 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3511 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3512 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3513
3514 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3515 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3516 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3517
3518 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3519
3520 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3521 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3522 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3523 is at least 512 bytes long.
3524
3525 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3526
3527 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3528
3529 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3530 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3531 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3532 (CVE-2013-4353)
3533
3534 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3535 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3536 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3537 [Steve Henson]
3538
3539 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3540 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3541 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3542 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3543 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3544 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3545 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3546
3547 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3548
3549 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3550 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3551 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3552
3553 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3554
3555 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3556
3557 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3558 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3559 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3560
3561 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3562 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3563 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3564 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3565 (CVE-2013-0169)
3566 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3567
3568 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3569 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3570 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3571 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3572 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3573 (CVE-2012-2686)
3574 [Adam Langley]
3575
3576 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3577 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3578 [Steve Henson]
3579
3580 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3581 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3582
3583 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3584 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3585 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3586 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3587 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3588
3589 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3590 [Steve Henson]
3591
3592 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3593 if renegotiating.
3594 [Steve Henson]
3595
3596 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3597
3598 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3599 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3600
3601 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3602 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3603 (CVE-2012-2333)
3604 [Steve Henson]
3605
3606 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3607 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3608 [Steve Henson]
3609
3610 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3611 approved.
3612 [Steve Henson]
3613
3614 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3615
3616 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3617 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3618 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3619 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3620 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3621 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3622 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3623 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3624 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3625 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3626 [Steve Henson]
3627
3628 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3629 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3630 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3631 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3632 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3633 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3634 client side.
3635 [Andy Polyakov]
3636
3637 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3638
3639 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3640 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3641 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3642
3643 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3644 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3645 (CVE-2012-2110)
3646 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3647
3648 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3649 [Adam Langley]
3650
3651 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3652 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3653
3654 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3655 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3656 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3657 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3658 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3659 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3660 Most broken servers should now work.
3661 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3662 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3663 [Steve Henson]
3664
3665 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3666 [Andy Polyakov]
3667
3668 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3669
3670 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3671 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3672 [Steve Henson]
3673
3674 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3675 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3676 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3677 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3678 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3679 [Steve Henson]
3680
3681 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3682 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3683 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3684 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3685 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3686 [Steve Henson]
3687
3688 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3689 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3690
3691 *) Add support for SCTP.
3692 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3693
3694 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3695 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3696
3697 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3698
3699 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3700 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3701 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3702 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3703 - s390x: z196 support;
3704 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3705
3706 [Andy Polyakov]
3707
3708 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3709 (removal of unnecessary code)
3710 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3711
3712 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3713 [Eric Rescorla]
3714
3715 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3716 [Eric Rescorla]
3717
3718 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3719 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3720 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3721 by Google.
3722 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3723
3724 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3725 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3726 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3727 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3728 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3729
3730 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3731 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3732 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3733
3734 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3735 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3736 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3737
3738 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3739 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3740 implementations).
3741 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3742
3743 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3744 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3745 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3746 [Steve Henson]
3747
3748 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3749 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3750 particular PSS.
3751 [Steve Henson]
3752
3753 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3754 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3755 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3756 [Steve Henson]
3757
3758 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3759 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3760 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3761 the appropriate parameters.
3762 [Steve Henson]
3763
3764 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3765 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3766 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3767 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3768 against a number of sample certificates.
3769 [Steve Henson]
3770
3771 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3772 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3773
3774 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3775 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3776
3777 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3778 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3779 parameters r, s.
3780 [Steve Henson]
3781
3782 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3783 RFC3211.
3784 [Steve Henson]
3785
3786 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3787 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3788 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3789 password based CMS).
3790 [Steve Henson]
3791
3792 *) Session-handling fixes:
3793 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3794 but also support Session Tickets.
3795 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3796 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3797 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3798 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3799 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3800 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3801
3802 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3803 [Bodo Moeller]
3804
3805 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3806
3807 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3808 [Andy Polyakov]
3809
3810 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3811 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3812 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3813 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3814 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3815 [Steve Henson]
3816
3817 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3818 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3819 [Steve Henson]
3820
3821 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3822 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3823 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3824 [Steve Henson]
3825
3826 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3827 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3828 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3829 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3830 [Steve Henson]
3831
3832 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3833 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3834 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3835 [Steve Henson]
3836
3837 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3838 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3839
3840 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3844 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3845 [Steve Henson]
3846
3847 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3848 [Steve Henson]
3849
3850 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3851 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3852 [Steve Henson]
3853
3854 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3855 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3856 [Steve Henson]
3857
3858 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3859 [Steve Henson]
3860
3861 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3862 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3863 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3864 [Steve Henson]
3865
3866 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3867 [Steve Henson]
3868
3869 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3870 [Steve Henson]
3871
3872 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3873 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3874 [Steve Henson]
3875
3876 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3877 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3878 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3879 [Steve Henson]
3880
3881 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3882 [Steve Henson]
3883
3884 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3885 and enable MD5.
3886 [Steve Henson]
3887
3888 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3889 FIPS modules versions.
3890 [Steve Henson]
3891
3892 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3893 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3894 until after the certificate request message is received.
3895 [Steve Henson]
3896
3897 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3898 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3899 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3900 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3901 [Steve Henson]
3902
3903 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3904 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3905 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3906 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3907 [Steve Henson]
3908
3909 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3910 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3911 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3912 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3913 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3914 and version checking.
3915 [Steve Henson]
3916
3917 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3918 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3919 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3920 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3921 [Steve Henson]
3922
3923 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3924 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3925 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3926 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3927 Ben Laurie]
3928
3929 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3930 [Steve Henson]
3931
3932 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3933 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3934 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3935
3936 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3937 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3938 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3939 [Steve Henson]
3940
3941 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3942 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3943
3944 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3945 a few changes are required:
3946
3947 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3948 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3949 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3950 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3951 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3952 [Steve Henson]
3953
3954 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3955
3956 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3957 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3958 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3959 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3960 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3961 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3962 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3963 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3964 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3965 [Steve Henson]
3966
3967 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3968 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3969 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3970 [Steve Henson]
3971
3972 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3973
3974 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3975 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3976 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3977 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3978 [Antonio Martin]
3979
3980 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3981
3982 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3983 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3984 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3985 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3986 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3987 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3988 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3989 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3990 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3991 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3992 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3993 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3994 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3995
3996 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3997 (CVE-2011-4576)
3998 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3999
4000 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4001 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4002 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4003 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4004
4005 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4006 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4007
4008 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4009 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4010 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4011 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4012
4013 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4014 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4015
4016 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4017 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4018
4019 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4020 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4021
4022 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4023 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4024 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4025
4026 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4027 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4028 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4029
4030 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4031 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4032 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4033 the last update always remained unused).
4034 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4035
4036 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4037 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4038
4039 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4040
4041 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4042 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4043 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4044
4045 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4046 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4047 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4048
4049 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4050 [Bodo Moeller]
4051
4052 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4053 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4054 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4055 [Steve Henson]
4056
4057 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4058 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4059
4060 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4061
4062 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4063
4064 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4065
4066 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4067 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4068
4069 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4070 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4071 ambiguous.
4072 [Steve Henson]
4073
4074 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4075
4076 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4077 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4078 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4079 [Steve Henson]
4080
4081 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4082 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4083 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4084 [Ben Laurie]
4085
4086 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4087
4088 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4089 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4090 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4091 [Steve Henson]
4092
4093 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4094 a DLL.
4095 [Steve Henson]
4096
4097 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4098
4099 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4100 (CVE-2010-1633)
4101 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4102
4103 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4104
4105 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4106 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4107 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4108 [Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4111 [Steve Henson]
4112
4113 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4114 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4115 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4116
4117 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4118 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4119 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4120 [Steve Henson]
4121
4122 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4123 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4124 [Steve Henson]
4125
4126 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4127 some responders need this.
4128 [Steve Henson]
4129
4130 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4131 correctly.
4132 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4133
4134 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4135 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4136 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4137 [Steve Henson]
4138
4139 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4140 [Steve Henson]
4141
4142 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4143 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4144 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4145 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4146 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4147 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4148 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4149 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4150 [Steve Henson]
4151
4152 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4153 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4154 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4155 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4156
4157 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4158 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4159
4160 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4161 be used on C++.
4162 [Steve Henson]
4163
4164 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4165 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4166 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4167 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4168 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4169 attempting to work them out.
4170 [Steve Henson]
4171
4172 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4173 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4174 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4175 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4176 [Steve Henson]
4177
4178 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4179 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4180 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4181 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4182 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4183 [Steve Henson]
4184
4185 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4186 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4187 you can do:
4188
4189 openssl sha256 foo
4190
4191 as well as:
4192
4193 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4194
4195 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4196
4197 [Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4200 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4201
4202 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4203 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4204
4205 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4206 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4207 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4208 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4209 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4210 [Steve Henson]
4211
4212 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4213 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4214 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4215 [Steve Henson]
4216
4217 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4218 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4219 [Steve Henson]
4220
4221 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4222 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4223
4224 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4225 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4226 [Steve Henson]
4227
4228 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4229 [Ben Laurie]
4230
4231 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4232 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4233 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4234 CONF_VALUE.
4235 [Ben Laurie]
4236
4237 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4238 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4239 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4240 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4241 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4242 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4243 [Steve Henson]
4244
4245 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4246 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4247
4248 This work was sponsored by Google.
4249 [Steve Henson]
4250
4251 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4252 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4253 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4254 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4255 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4256 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4257 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4258 default.
4259
4260 This work was sponsored by Google.
4261 [Steve Henson]
4262
4263 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4264
4265 This work was sponsored by Google.
4266 [Steve Henson]
4267
4268 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4269 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4270 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4271 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4272
4273 This work was sponsored by Google.
4274 [Steve Henson]
4275
4276 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4277 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4278 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4279 CRL functionality in future.
4280
4281 This work was sponsored by Google.
4282 [Steve Henson]
4283
4284 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4285
4286 This work was sponsored by Google.
4287 [Steve Henson]
4288
4289 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4290 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4291
4292 This work was sponsored by Google.
4293 [Steve Henson]
4294
4295 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4296 and URI types are currently supported.
4297
4298 This work was sponsored by Google.
4299 [Steve Henson]
4300
4301 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4302 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4303 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4304 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4305 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4306 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4307 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4308 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4309
4310 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4311 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4312 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4313
4314 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4315 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4316 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4317 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4318
4319 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4320 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4321 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4322 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4323 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4324 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4325 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4326 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4327 of &errno.)
4328 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4329
4330 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4331 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4332 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4333
4334 This work was sponsored by Google.
4335 [Steve Henson]
4336
4337 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4338 [Ben Laurie]
4339
4340 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4341 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4342 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4343 [Ben Laurie]
4344
4345 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4346 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4347 [Nick Mathewson]
4348
4349 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4350 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4351 [Ben Laurie]
4352
4353 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4354 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4355 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4356 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4357 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4358 content types and variants.
4359 [Steve Henson]
4360
4361 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4362 [Steve Henson]
4363
4364 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4365 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4366 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4367 files from the associated perl scripts.
4368 [Steve Henson]
4369
4370 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4371 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4372 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4373
4374 *) s390x assembler pack.
4375 [Andy Polyakov]
4376
4377 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4378 "family."
4379 [Andy Polyakov]
4380
4381 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4382 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4383 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4384 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4385 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4386 to use. For example, specify an option
4387
4388 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4389
4390 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4391 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4392 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4393 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4394 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4395 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4396
4397 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4398 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4399 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4400 return non-zero for success.
4401
4402 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4403 by using
4404
4405 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4406 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4407
4408 where
4409
4410 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4411 void *arg;
4412
4413 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4414 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4415 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4416 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4417 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4418 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4419 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4420 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4421 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4422
4423 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4424 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4425 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4426 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4427 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4428 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4429
4430 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4431 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4432 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4433 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4434 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4435 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4436
4437 [Bodo Moeller]
4438
4439 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4440 MAC.
4441
4442 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4443
4444 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4445 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4446 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4447 supported.
4448
4449 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4450 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4451 SSL_SESSION.
4452
4453 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4454 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4455 with no application modification.
4456
4457 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4458 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4459
4460 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4461 or server extensions to be examined.
4462
4463 This work was sponsored by Google.
4464 [Steve Henson]
4465
4466 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4467 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4468 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4469
4470 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4471 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4472 ciphersuite support.
4473 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4474
4475 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4476 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4477 to output in BER and PEM format.
4478 [Steve Henson]
4479
4480 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4481 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4482 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4483 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4484 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4485 [Steve Henson]
4486
4487 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4488 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4489 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4490 utility.
4491 [Steve Henson]
4492
4493 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4494 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4495 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4496 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4497 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4498 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4499 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4500 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4501 enabled again.
4502
4503 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4504 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4505 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4506 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4507
4508 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4509 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4510 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4511 the default order.
4512 [Bodo Moeller]
4513
4514 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4515 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4516 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4517 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4518 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4519 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4520 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4521 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4522 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4523
4524 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4525 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4526 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4527 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4528 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4529 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4530 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4531 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4532 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4533 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4534 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4535 kinds of kludges.
4536
4537 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4538 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4539 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4540
4541 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4542 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4543 "CAMELLIA256".
4544 [Bodo Moeller]
4545
4546 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4547 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4548 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4549 [Nils Larsch]
4550
4551 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4552 it yet and it is largely untested.
4553 [Steve Henson]
4554
4555 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4556 [Nils Larsch]
4557
4558 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4559 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4560 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4561 [Steve Henson]
4562
4563 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4564 [Andy Polyakov]
4565
4566 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4567 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4568 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4569 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4570 [Steve Henson]
4571
4572 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4573 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4574 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4575 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4576 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4577 [Steve Henson]
4578
4579 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4580 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4581 [Cryptocom]
4582
4583 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4584 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4585 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4586 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4587 [Steve Henson]
4588
4589 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4590 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4591 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4592 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4593 [Steve Henson]
4594
4595 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4596 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4597 [Steve Henson]
4598
4599 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4600 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4601 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4602 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4603 [Steve Henson]
4604
4605 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4606 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4607 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4608 [Steve Henson]
4609
4610 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4611 utility.
4612 [Steve Henson]
4613
4614 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4615 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4616 [Steve Henson]
4617
4618 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4619 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4620 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4621 if necessary.
4622 [Steve Henson]
4623
4624 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4625 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4626 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4627 [Steve Henson]
4628
4629 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4630 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4631 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4632 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4633 [Steve Henson]
4634
4635 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4636 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4637 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4638 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4639 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4640 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4641 [Douglas Stebila]
4642
4643 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4644 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4645 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4646 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4647 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4648
4649 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4650 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4651 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4652 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4653 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4654 protocol).
4655
4656 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4657 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4658 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4659 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4660
4661 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4662 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4663 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4664 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4665 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4666
4667 aECDH - ECDH cert
4668 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4669 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4670
4671 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4672 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4673
4674 [Bodo Moeller]
4675
4676 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4677 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4678 [Steve Henson]
4679
4680 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4681 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4682 [Steve Henson]
4683
4684 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4685 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4686 functional reference processing.
4687 [Steve Henson]
4688
4689 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4690 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4691 process.
4692 [Steve Henson]
4693
4694 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4695 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4696 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4697 [Steve Henson]
4698
4699 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4700 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4701 application to support multiple signers.
4702 [Steve Henson]
4703
4704 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4705 digest MAC.
4706 [Steve Henson]
4707
4708 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4709 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4710 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4711 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4712 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4713 [Steve Henson]
4714
4715 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4716 new API.
4717 [Steve Henson]
4718
4719 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4720 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4721 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4722 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4723 a no op.
4724 [Steve Henson]
4725
4726 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4727 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4728 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4729 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4730 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4731 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4732 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4733 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4734 [Steve Henson]
4735
4736 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4737 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4738 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4739 between digests and public key types.
4740 [Steve Henson]
4741
4742 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4743 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4744 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4745 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4746 [Steve Henson]
4747
4748 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4749 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4750 key ASN1 method.
4751 [Steve Henson]
4752
4753 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4754 [Steve Henson]
4755
4756 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4757 pkeyutl.
4758 [Steve Henson]
4759
4760 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4761 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4762 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4763 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4764 pkey, genpkey.
4765 [Steve Henson]
4766
4767 *) BeOS support.
4768 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4769
4770 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4771 manual pages.
4772 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4773
4774 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4775 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4776 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4777 functionality for RSA.
4778 [Steve Henson]
4779
4780 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4781 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4782 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4783 [Steve Henson]
4784
4785 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4786 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4787 [Steve Henson]
4788
4789 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4790 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4791 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4792 [Steve Henson]
4793
4794 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4795 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4796 [Douglas Stebila]
4797
4798 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4799 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4800 [Steve Henson]
4801
4802 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4803 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4804 type.
4805 [Steve Henson]
4806
4807 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4808 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4809 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4810 structure.
4811 [Steve Henson]
4812
4813 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4814 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4815 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4816 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4817 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4818 of public and private key structures.
4819 [Steve Henson]
4820
4821 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4822 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4823 [Douglas Stebila]
4824
4825 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4826 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4827 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4828
4829 New ciphersuites:
4830 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4831 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4832
4833 New functions:
4834 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4835 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4836 SSL_get_psk_identity
4837 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4838
4839 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4840
4841 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4842 and response verification functionality.
4843 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4844
4845 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4846 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4847 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4848 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4849 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4850 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4851 server_name extension.
4852
4853 New functions (subject to change):
4854
4855 SSL_get_servername()
4856 SSL_get_servername_type()
4857 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4858
4859 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4860
4861 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4862 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4863 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4864 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4865 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4866
4867 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4868
4869 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4870 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4871 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4872 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4873 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4874 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4875 option.
4876
4877 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4878
4879 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4880 [Andy Polyakov]
4881
4882 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4883 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4884 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4885 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4886 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4887 [Andy Polyakov]
4888
4889 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4890 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4891 macro.
4892 [Bodo Moeller]
4893
4894 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4895 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4896 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4897 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4898 [Andy Polyakov]
4899
4900 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4901 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4902 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4903 using the maximum available value.
4904 [Steve Henson]
4905
4906 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4907 in addition to the text details.
4908 [Bodo Moeller]
4909
4910 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4911 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4912 handle several customised structures at all.
4913 [Steve Henson]
4914
4915 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4916 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4917 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4918 [Steve Henson]
4919
4920 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4921 [Steve Henson]
4922
4923 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4924 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4925 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4926 [Steve Henson]
4927
4928 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4929 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4930 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4931 [Nils Larsch]
4932
4933 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4934 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4935 all fields.
4936 [Steve Henson]
4937
4938 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4939 [Steve Henson]
4940
4941 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4942 [NTT]
4943
4944 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4945
4946 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4947 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4948 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4949 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4950 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4951 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4952 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4953 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4954
4955 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4956 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4957 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4958
4959 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4960
4961 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4962 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4963
4964 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4965 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4966 [Bodo Moeller]
4967
4968 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4969 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4970 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4971 [Steve Henson]
4972
4973 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4974 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4975 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4976 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4977 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4978 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4979 [Steve Henson]
4980
4981 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4982 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4983 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4984 [Steve Henson]
4985
4986 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4987 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4988 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4989 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4990 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4991 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4992 CVE-2009-4355.
4993 [Steve Henson]
4994
4995 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4996 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4997 [Bodo Moeller]
4998
4999 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5000 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5001 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5002 [Steve Henson]
5003
5004 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5005 [Steve Henson]
5006
5007 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5008 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5009 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5010 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5011 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5012 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5013 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5014 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5015 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5016 [Steve Henson]
5017
5018 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5019 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5020 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5021 [Steve Henson]
5022
5023 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5024 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5025 [Steve Henson]
5026
5027 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5028 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5029 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5030 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5031 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5032 know what you are doing.
5033 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5034
5035 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5036 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5037 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5038 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5039 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5040 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5041 the handshake.
5042 [Steve Henson]
5043
5044 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5045 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5046 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5047 correctly.
5048 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5049
5050 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5051 warnings in other configurations.
5052 [Steve Henson]
5053
5054 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5055 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5056 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5057 systems need.
5058 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5059
5060 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5061 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5062 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5063
5064 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5065 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5066 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5067 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5068 [Steve Henson]
5069
5070 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5071 and restored.
5072 [Steve Henson]
5073
5074 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5075 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5076 clash.
5077 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5078
5079 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5080 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5081 other than a simple chain.
5082 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5083
5084 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5085 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5086 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5087 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5088 [Steve Henson]
5089
5090 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5091 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5092 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5093 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5094 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5095 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5096 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5097 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5098 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5099
5100 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5101 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5102 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5103 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5104 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5105 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5106 (CVE-2009-1377)
5107 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5108
5109 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5110 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5111 [Daniel Mentz]
5112
5113 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5114 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5115
5116 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5117 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5118
5119 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5120
5121 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5122 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5123 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5124 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5125 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5126 you're doing.
5127 [Ben Laurie]
5128
5129 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5130
5131 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5132 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5133 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5134 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5135
5136 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5137 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5138 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5139 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5140
5141 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5142 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5143 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5144 [Steve Henson]
5145
5146 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5147 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5148 level.
5149 [Steve Henson]
5150
5151 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5152 to handle some structures.
5153 [Steve Henson]
5154
5155 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5156 for a '\n'
5157 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5158
5159 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5160 [Matthieu Herrb]
5161
5162 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5163 [Steve Henson]
5164
5165 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5166 [Steve Henson]
5167
5168 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5169 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5170 chosen compiler.
5171 [Ben Laurie]
5172
5173 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5174
5175 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5176 (CVE-2008-5077).
5177 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5178
5179 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5180 [Ben Laurie]
5181
5182 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5183 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5184 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5185 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5186
5187 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5188 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5189
5190 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5191 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5192 [Bodo Moeller]
5193
5194 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5195 s_client and s_server.
5196 [Ben Laurie]
5197
5198 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5199 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5200
5201 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5202 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5203
5204 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5205 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5206 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5207 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5208 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5209 [Bodo Moeller]
5210
5211 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5212
5213 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5214 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5215 [PR #1679]
5216
5217 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5218 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5219 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5220
5221 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5222 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5223 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5224 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5225
5226 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5227 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5228
5229 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5230
5231 *) Various precautionary measures:
5232
5233 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5234
5235 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5236 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5237 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5238
5239 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5240 outside the expected range.
5241
5242 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5243 builds.
5244
5245 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5246
5247 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5248 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5249 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5250
5251 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5252 [Steve Henson]
5253
5254 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5255 [Huang Ying]
5256
5257 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5258
5259 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5260 [Steve Henson]
5261
5262 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5263 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5264 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5265
5266 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5267 [Steve Henson]
5268
5269 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5270 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5271 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5272 files.
5273 [Steve Henson]
5274
5275 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5276
5277 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5278 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5279 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5280 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5281
5282 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5283 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5284 [Joe Orton]
5285
5286 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5287
5288 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5289 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5290 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5291
5292 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5293
5294 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5295 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5296 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5297 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5298 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5299
5300 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5301 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5302 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5303 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5304 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5305 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5306 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5307
5308 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5309
5310 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5311 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5312 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5313 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5314 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5315
5316 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5317 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5318
5319 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5320 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5321 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5322 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5323 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5324
5325 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5326
5327 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5328 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5329 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5330 sets may exist with different names.
5331 [Steve Henson]
5332
5333 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5334 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5335 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5336 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5337 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5338 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5339 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5340 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5341 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5342 implementation.
5343 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5344
5345 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5346 implementation in the following ways:
5347
5348 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5349 hard coded.
5350
5351 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5352 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5353 ignored for embedded content.
5354
5355 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5356 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5357 [Steve Henson]
5358
5359 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5360 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5361 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5362 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5363
5364 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5365 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5366 [Steve Henson]
5367
5368 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5369 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5370 [Steve Henson]
5371
5372 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5373 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5374 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5375 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5376 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5377 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5378 data.
5379 [Steve Henson]
5380
5381 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5382 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5383 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5384
5385 *) Netware support:
5386
5387 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5388 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5389 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5390 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5391 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5392 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5393 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5394 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5395 platform
5396 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5397 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5398 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5399 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5400 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5401 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5402 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5403
5404 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5405 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5406 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5407 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5408 to s_client and s_server.

5410
5411 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5412
5413 *) Fix various bugs:
5414 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5415 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5416 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5417 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5418 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5419
5420 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5421
5422 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5423 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5424 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5425 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5426 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5427 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5428 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5429 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5430 [Andy Polyakov]
5431
5432 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5433 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5434 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5435 Steve Henson]
5436
5437 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5438 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5439 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5440 supported.
5441
5442 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5443 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5444 SSL_SESSION.
5445
5446 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5447 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5448 with no application modification.
5449
5450 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5451 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5452
5453 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5454 or server extensions to be examined.
5455
5456 This work was sponsored by Google.
5457 [Steve Henson]
5458
5459 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5460 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5461 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5462 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5463 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5464 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5465 server_name extension.
5466
5467 New functions (subject to change):
5468
5469 SSL_get_servername()
5470 SSL_get_servername_type()
5471 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5472
5473 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5474
5475 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5476 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5477 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5478 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5479 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5480
5481 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5482
5483 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5484 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5485 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5486 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5487 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5488 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5489 option.
5490
5491 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5492
5493 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5494 [Steve Henson]
5495
5496 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5497 [Andy Polyakov]
5498
5499 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5500 (which previously caused an internal error).
5501 [Bodo Moeller]
5502
5503 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5504 [Ben Laurie]
5505
5506 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5507 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5508
5509 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5510 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5511 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5512
5513 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5514 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5515 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5516 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5517
5518 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5519 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5520 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5521 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5522
5523 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5524 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5525 information. For detailed background information, see
5526 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5527 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5528 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5529 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5530 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5531 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5532 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5533 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5534 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5535 remove a conditional branch.
5536
5537 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5538 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5539 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5540 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5541 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5542 remains as a deprecated alias.
5543
5544 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5545 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5546 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5547 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5548
5549 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5550 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5551 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5552 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5553 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5554 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5555 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5556 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5557
5558 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5559
5560 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5561 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5562 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5563 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5564 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5565 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5566 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5567 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5568 in a different context.
5569 [Bodo Moeller]
5570
5571 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5572 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5573 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5574 [Bodo Moeller]
5575
5576 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5577 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5578 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5579
5580 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5581
5582 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5583 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5584 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5585 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5586 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5587 [Victor Duchovni]
5588
5589 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5590 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5591 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5592 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5593 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5594 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5595 [Bodo Moeller]
5596
5597 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5598 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5599 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5600 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5601 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5602 [Bodo Moeller]
5603
5604 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5605 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5606
5607 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5608 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5609 Improve header file function name parsing.
5610 [Steve Henson]
5611
5612 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5613 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5614 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5615
5616 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5617
5618 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5619 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5620 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5621
5622 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5623 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5624
5625 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5626 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5627
5628 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5629 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5630 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5631
5632 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5633 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5634 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5635 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5636 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5637 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5638 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5639 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5640 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5641
5642 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5643 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5644 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5645 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5646 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5647
5648 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5649 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5650 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5651 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5652 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5653 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5654 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5655 multiple values to extend the available space.
5656
5657 [Bodo Moeller]
5658
5659 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5660
5661 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5662 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5663
5664 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5665 [Ben Laurie]
5666
5667 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5668 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5669 undesirable limitations.
5670 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5671
5672 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5673 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5674 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5675 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5676 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5677 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5678 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5679 [Bodo Moeller]
5680
5681 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5682
5683 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5684 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5685 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5686
5687 The latter two were purportedly from
5688 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5689 appear there.
5690
5691 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5692 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5693 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5694 [Bodo Moeller]
5695
5696 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5697 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5698 [Bodo Moeller]
5699
5700 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5701 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5702 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5703 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5704
5705 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5706 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5707 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5708 [NTT]
5709
5710 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5711 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5712 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5713 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5714 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5715 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5716 [Steve Henson]
5717
5718 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5719
5720 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5721 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5722 [Steve Henson]
5723
5724 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5725 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5726
5727 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5728 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5729 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5730 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5731 [Douglas Stebila]
5732
5733 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5734 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5735 [Steve Henson]
5736
5737 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5738 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5739 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5740 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5741 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5742 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5743 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5744 can't be loaded.
5745 [Steve Henson]
5746
5747 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5748 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5749 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5750 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5751 [Steve Henson]
5752
5753 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5754 under VC++ build system.
5755 [Steve Henson]
5756
5757 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5758 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5759 [Richard Levitte]
5760
5761 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5762
5763 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5764 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5765 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5766 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5767 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5768
5769 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5770 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5771 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5772
5773 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5774 [Steve Henson]
5775
5776 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5777 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5778 [Nils Larsch]
5779
5780 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5781 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5782
5783 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5784 [Nick Mathewson]
5785
5786 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5787 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5788
5789 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5790 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5791 [Steve Henson]
5792
5793 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5794 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5795 smime utility.
5796 [Steve Henson]
5797
5798 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5799
5800 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5801 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5802
5803 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5804 [Richard Levitte]
5805
5806 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5807 key into the same file any more.
5808 [Richard Levitte]
5809
5810 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5811 [Andy Polyakov]
5812
5813 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5814 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5815
5816 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5817 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5818 [Richard Levitte]
5819
5820 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5821 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5822 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5823 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5824 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5825 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5826
5827 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5828 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5829 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5830 [Steve Henson]
5831
5832 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5833 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5834 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5835 - add new function for parameter creation
5836 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5837 BN_BLINDING parameters
5838 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5839 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5840 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5841 threads.
5842 [Nils Larsch]
5843
5844 *) Add support for DTLS.
5845 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5846
5847 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5848 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5849 [Walter Goulet]
5850
5851 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5852 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5853 [Nils Larsch]
5854
5855 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5856 the apps/openssl applications.
5857 [Nils Larsch]
5858
5859 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5860 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5861 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5862 [Ben Laurie]
5863
5864 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5865 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5866
5867 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5868 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5869
5870 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5871 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5872 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5873 avoid this algorithm.)
5874
5875 [Bodo Moeller]
5876
5877 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5878 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5879 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5880 [Richard Levitte]
5881
5882 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5883 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5884 [Andy Polyakov]
5885
5886 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5887 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5888 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5889 pod file:
5890
5891 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5892
5893 The blank line is mandatory.
5894
5895 [Steve Henson]
5896
5897 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5898 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5899 sources.
5900 [Steve Henson]
5901
5902 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5903 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5904
5905 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5906 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5907 to support policy checking and print out.
5908 [Steve Henson]
5909
5910 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5911 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5912 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5913 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5914
5915 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5916 [Geoff Thorpe]
5917
5918 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5919 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5920
5921 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5922 implementation contributed by IBM.
5923 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5924
5925 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5926 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5927 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5928 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5929
5930 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5931 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5932
5933 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5934 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5935 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5936 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5937 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5938 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5939 [Steve Henson]
5940
5941 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5942 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5943 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5944 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5945 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5946 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5947 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5948 [Geoff Thorpe]
5949
5950 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5951 [Steve Henson]
5952
5953 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5954 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5955 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5956 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5957 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5958 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5959 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5960 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5961 [Steve Henson]
5962
5963 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5964 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5965 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5966 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5967 [Steve Henson]
5968
5969 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5970 syntax:
5971
5972 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5973 [Steve Henson]
5974
5975 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5976 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5977 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5978 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5979 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5980 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5981 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5982 [Geoff Thorpe]
5983
5984 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5985 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5986 [Geoff Thorpe]
5987
5988 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5989 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5990 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5991 [Steve Henson]
5992
5993 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5994 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5995 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5996 below).
5997 [Geoff Thorpe]
5998
5999 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6000 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6001 [Richard Levitte]
6002
6003 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6004 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6005 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6006 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6007 [Geoff Thorpe]
6008
6009 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6010 initialised value as BN_new().
6011 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6012
6013 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6014 [Steve Henson]
6015
6016 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6017 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6018 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6019 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6020 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6021 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6022 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6023 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6024 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6025 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6026 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6027 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6028 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6029 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6030 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6031
6032 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6033 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6034 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6035 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6036 [Geoff Thorpe]
6037
6038 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6039 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6040 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6041 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6042 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6043 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6044 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6045 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6046 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6047 [Geoff Thorpe]
6048
6049 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6050 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6051 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6052 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6053 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6054 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6055 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6056 [Geoff Thorpe]
6057
6058 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6059 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6060 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6061 these have been updated also.
6062 [Geoff Thorpe]
6063
6064 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6065 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6066 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6067 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6068 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6069 functions.
6070 [Steve Henson]
6071
6072 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6073 structure of type "other".
6074 [Steve Henson]
6075
6076 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6077 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6078 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6079 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6080 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6081 situation in the script.
6082 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6083
6084 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6085 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6086 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6087 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6088 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6089 used as premaster secret.
6090 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6091
6092 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6093 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6094 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6095
6096 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6097 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6098
6099 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6100 control of the error stack.
6101 [Richard Levitte]
6102
6103 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6104 [Richard Levitte]
6105
6106 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6107 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6108 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6109 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6110 [Richard Levitte]
6111
6112 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6113 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6114 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6115 [Richard Levitte]
6116
6117 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6118 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6119 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6120 a memory area.
6121 [Richard Levitte]
6122
6123 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6124 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6125 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6126 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6127 [Richard Levitte]
6128
6129 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6130 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6131 the following flags are defined:
6132
6133 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6134 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6135 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6136 number.
6137
6138 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6139 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6140 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6141 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6142 returns zero.
6143 [Richard Levitte]
6144
6145 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6146 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6147 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6148 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6149 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6150 [Richard Levitte]
6151
6152 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6153 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6154 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6155 [Richard Levitte]
6156
6157 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6158 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6159 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6160 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6161 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6162 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6163 [Richard Levitte]
6164
6165 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6166 req and dirName.
6167 [Steve Henson]
6168
6169 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6170 [Steve Henson]
6171
6172 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6173 [Steve Henson]
6174
6175 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6176 [Steve Henson]
6177
6178 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6179 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6180 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6181 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6182 default implementation more easily.
6183 [Geoff Thorpe]
6184
6185 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6186 in config files.
6187 [Steve Henson]
6188
6189 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6190 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6191 [Richard Levitte]
6192
6193 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6194 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6195 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6196 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6197
6198 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6199 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6200 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6201 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6202 [Steve Henson]
6203
6204 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6205 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6206 to do it.
6207 [Richard Levitte]
6208
6209 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6210 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6211 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6212 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6213 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6214 scalar * generator).
6215 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6216
6217 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6218 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6219 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6220 correctly.
6221 [Steve Henson]
6222
6223 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6224 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6225 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6226 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6227 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6228 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6229 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6230 linker additions, eg;
6231 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6232 [Geoff Thorpe]
6233
6234 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6235 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6236 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6237 [Geoff Thorpe]
6238
6239 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6240 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6241 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6242 via PR#459)
6243 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6244
6245 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6246 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6247 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6248 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6249 [Geoff Thorpe]
6250
6251 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6252 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6253 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6254 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6255 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6256 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6257 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6258 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6259 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6260 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6261
6262 Example for using the new callback interface:
6263
6264 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6265 void *my_arg = ...;
6266 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6267
6268 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6269
6270 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6271 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6272 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6273 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6274 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6275 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6276 */
6277
6278 [Geoff Thorpe]
6279
6280 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6281 available to TLS with the number defined in
6282 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6283 [Richard Levitte]
6284
6285 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6286 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6287
6288 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6289 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6290 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6291 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6292
6293 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6294 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6295
6296 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6297 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6298 well.
6299 [Richard Levitte]
6300
6301 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6302 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6303 [Richard Levitte]
6304
6305 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6306 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6307 and a macro that behave like
6308 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6309
6310 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6311 [Nils Larsch]
6312
6313 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6314 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6315 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6316 if applicable.
6317 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6318
6319 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6320 [Bodo Moeller]
6321
6322 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6323 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6324 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6325 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6326 directory engines/.
6327 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6328 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6329 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6330 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6331 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6332 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6333 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6334 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6335
6336 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6337 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6338 [Richard Levitte]
6339
6340 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6341 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6342
6343 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6344 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6345 files while avoiding the low level API.
6346
6347 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6348 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6349 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6350 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6351
6352 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6353 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6354 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6355 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6356 instead of the low level API.
6357 [Steve Henson]
6358
6359 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6360 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6361 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6362 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6363 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6364 PKCS#7 code.
6365
6366 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6367 down to the template encoder.
6368 [Steve Henson]
6369
6370 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6371 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6372 [Bodo Moeller]
6373
6374 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6375 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6376 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6377 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6378
6379 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6380 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6381
6382 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6383 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6384
6385 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6386 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6387 [Bodo Moeller]
6388
6389 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6390 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6391 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6392 [Bodo Moeller]
6393
6394 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6395 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6396
6397 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6398 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6399
6400 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6401 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6402 New EC_METHOD:
6403
6404 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6405
6406 New API functions:
6407
6408 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6409 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6410 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6411 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6412 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6413 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6414
6415 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6416 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6417 enable it).
6418
6419 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6420 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6421 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6422 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6423 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6424 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6425 various internal method names.)
6426
6427 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6428 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6429
6430 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6431 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6432
6433 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6434 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6435
6436 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6437 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6438 methods are undefined.
6439
6440 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6441 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6442
6443 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6444 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6445 length of the modulus.
6446
6447 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6448 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6449
6450 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6451 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6452
6453 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6454 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6455
6456 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6457 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6458 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6459
6460 BN_GF2m_add
6461 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6462 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6463 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6464 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6465 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6466 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6467 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6468 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6469 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6470
6471 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6472 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6473
6474 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6475 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6476 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6477 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6478 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6479 where
6480 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6481 This applies to the following functions:
6482
6483 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6484 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6485 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6486 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6487 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6488 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6489 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6490 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6491 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6492 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6493
6494 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6495
6496 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6497 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6498
6499 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6500
6501 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6502 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6503 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6504 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6505 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6506
6507 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6508 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6509
6510 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6511 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6512 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6513
6514 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6515 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6516
6517 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6518 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6519 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6520 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6521 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6522
6523 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6524 functions
6525 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6526 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6527 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6528 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6529 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6530 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6531 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6532 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6533 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6534 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6535 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6536 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6537
6538 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6539 functions
6540 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6541 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6542 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6543 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6544 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6545
6546 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6547 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6548 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6549 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6550
6551 *) Add functions
6552 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6553 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6554 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6555 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6556 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6557 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6558 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6559
6560 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6561 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6562 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6563 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6564 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6565 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6566 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6567 adding different types of curves.
6568 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6569
6570 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6571 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6572 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6573 [Bodo Moeller]
6574
6575 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6576 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6577
6578 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6579 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6580 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6581 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6582
6583 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6584
6585 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6586 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6587
6588 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6589 library. Most notably,
6590 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6591 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6592 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6593 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6594 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6595 extracted before the specific public key;
6596 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6597 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6598
6599 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6600 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6601 function
6602 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6603 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6604 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6605 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6606 accessed via
6607 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6608 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6609 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6610
6611 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6612 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6613 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6614 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6615 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6616 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6617 differing sizes.
6618 [Richard Levitte]
6619
6620 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6621
6622 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6623 sensitive data.
6624 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6625
6626 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6627 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6628 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6629 [Bodo Moeller]
6630
6631 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6632 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6633 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6634 [Victor Duchovni]
6635
6636 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6637 [Steve Henson]
6638
6639 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6640 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6641 [Steve Henson]
6642
6643 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6644 run algorithm test programs.
6645 [Steve Henson]
6646
6647 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6648 [Steve Henson]
6649
6650 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6651 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6652 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6653 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6654 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6655 [Bodo Moeller]
6656
6657 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6658 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6659 [Steve Henson]
6660
6661 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6662
6663 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6664 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6665 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6666
6667 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6668 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6669
6670 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6671 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6672
6673 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6674 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6675 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6676
6677 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6678 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6679 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6680 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6681 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6682 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6683 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6684 [Bodo Moeller]
6685
6686 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6687
6688 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6689 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6690
6691 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6692 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6693 undesirable limitations.
6694 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6695
6696 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6697
6698 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6699 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6700 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6701
6702 The latter two were purportedly from
6703 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6704 appear there.
6705
6706 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6707 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6708 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6709 [Bodo Moeller]
6710
6711 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6712 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6713 [Bodo Moeller]
6714
6715 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6716
6717 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6718 module in FIPS mode.
6719 [Steve Henson]
6720
6721 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6722 [Steve Henson]
6723
6724 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6725 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6726 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6727 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6728 [Steve Henson]
6729
6730 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6731
6732 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6733 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6734 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6735 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6736 the difference induced by this change.
6737 [Andy Polyakov]
6738
6739 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6740
6741 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6742 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6743 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6744 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6745 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6746
6747 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6748 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6749 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6750
6751 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6752 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6753 [Steve Henson]
6754
6755 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6756 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6757 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6758 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6759 biased k.)
6760 [Bodo Moeller]
6761
6762 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6763 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6764 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6765 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6766 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6767
6768 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6769 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6770 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6771 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6772 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6773 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6774
6775 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6776
6777 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6778 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6779 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6780 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6781 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6782 [Bodo Moeller]
6783
6784 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6785 clients need.
6786 [Steve Henson]
6787
6788 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6789 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6790 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6791 [Steve Henson]
6792
6793 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6794 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6795 structures constant.
6796 [Steve Henson]
6797
6798 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6799
6800 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6801 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6802
6803 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6804 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6805 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6806 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6807 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6808 some needed definitions.
6809 [Steve Henson]
6810
6811 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6812 [Ulf Möller]
6813
6814 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6815 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6816 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6817 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6818 [Richard Levitte]
6819
6820 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6821
6822 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6823 server and client random values. Previously
6824 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6825 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6826
6827 This change has negligible security impact because:
6828
6829 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6830 data.
6831
6832 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6833 handshake.
6834
6835 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6836 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6837 values.
6838
6839 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6840 to our attention.
6841
6842 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6843
6844 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6845 [Ulf Möller]
6846
6847 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6848 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6849 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6850
6851 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6852 [Steve Henson]
6853
6854 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6855 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6856 [Andy Polyakov]
6857
6858 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6859 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6860 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6861
6862 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6863 [Steve Henson]
6864
6865 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6866 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6867 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6868 certificates.
6869 [Steve Henson]
6870
6871 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6872 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6873 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6874 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6875
6876 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6877 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6878 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6879 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6880 been given)
6881 [Richard Levitte]
6882
6883 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6884
6885 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6886 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6887 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6888 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6889 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6890 [Steve Henson]
6891
6892 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6893 [Steve Henson]
6894
6895 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6896 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6897
6898 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6899 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6900 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6901 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6902 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6903 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6904 rather than being initialized to 1.
6905 [Steve Henson]
6906
6907 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6908
6909 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6910 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6911 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6912
6913 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6914 (CVE-2004-0112)
6915 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6916
6917 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6918 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6919 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6920 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6921 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6922 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6923 [Richard Levitte]
6924
6925 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6926 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6927 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6928 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6929 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6930 for these cases.
6931 [Steve Henson]
6932
6933 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6934 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6935 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6936 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6937 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6938 [Steve Henson]
6939
6940 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6941 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6942 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6943 < 0.9.7.
6944 [Steve Henson]
6945
6946 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6947 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6948
6949 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6950 [Steve Henson]
6951
6952 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6953
6954 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6955
6956 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6957 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6958
6959 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6960
6961 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6962 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6963
6964 [Steve Henson]
6965
6966 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6967 exiting on the first error in a request.
6968 [Steve Henson]
6969
6970 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6971 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6972 specifications.
6973 [Steve Henson]
6974
6975 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6976 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6977 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6978 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6979
6980 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6981 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6982 [Richard Levitte]
6983
6984 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6985 blocks during encryption.
6986 [Richard Levitte]
6987
6988 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6989 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6990 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6991 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6992 certain size.
6993 [Steve Henson]
6994
6995 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6996 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6997 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6998 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6999 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7000 parser.
7001 [Steve Henson]
7002
7003 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7004
7005 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7006 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7007 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7008 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7009 [Bodo Moeller]
7010
7011 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7012 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7013 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7014 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7015 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7016
7017 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7018 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7019 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7020 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7021 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7022 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7023 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7024 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7025 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7026 [Bodo Moeller]
7027
7028 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7029 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7030 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7031 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7032 [Geoff Thorpe]
7033
7034 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7035 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7036 [Ulf Moeller]
7037
7038 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7039
7040 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7041 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7042 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7043 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7044 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7045
7046 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7047 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7048 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7049
7050 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7051 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7052 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7053 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7054 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7055
7056 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7057 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7058 used by default when no-err is given.
7059 [Richard Levitte]
7060
7061 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7062 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7063
7064 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7065 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7066 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7067 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7068 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7069
7070 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7071 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7072 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7073 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7074
7075 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7076
7077 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7078
7079 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7080
7081 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7082 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7083 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7084 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7085 root is omitted).
7086 [Steve Henson]
7087
7088 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7089 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7090
7091 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7092 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7093 [Steve Henson]
7094
7095 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7096 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7097 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7098 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7099 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7100
7101 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7102 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7103 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7104 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7105 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7106 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7107 followup to PR #377.
7108 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7109
7110 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7111 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7112 [Andy Polyakov]
7113
7114 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7115 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7116 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7117 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7118
7119 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7120
7121 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7122 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7123
7124 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7125 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7126 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7127 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7128 client and server.
7129 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7130 PR #377.
7131 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7132
7133 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7134 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7135 removed entirely.
7136 [Richard Levitte]
7137
7138 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7139 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7140 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7141 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7142 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7143 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7144 of libcrypto.
7145 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7146 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7147 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7148 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7149 have to be made anyway).
7150 [Richard Levitte]
7151
7152 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7153 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7154 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7155 [Steve Henson]
7156
7157 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7158 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7159 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7160 [Richard Levitte]
7161
7162 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7163 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7164 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7165
7166 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7167 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7168 edit numbers of the version.
7169 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7170
7171 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7172 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7173 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7174
7175 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7176 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7177
7178 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7179 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7180 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7181
7182 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7183 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7184
7185 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7187
7188 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7189 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7190
7191 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7192 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7193
7194 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7195 overflows.
7196 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7197
7198 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7199 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7200 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7201
7202 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7203 representations in a platform independent manner.
7204 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7205
7206 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7207 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7208 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7209
7210 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7211 indents.
7212 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7213
7214 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7215 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7216
7217 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7218 full. Fixed.
7219 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7220
7221 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7222 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7223 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7224
7225 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7226 unconditionally).
7227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7228
7229 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7230 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7231
7232 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7233 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7234
7235 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7236 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7237
7238 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7239 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7240
7241 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7242 CBCParameter.
7243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7244
7245 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7246 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7247
7248 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7249 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7250
7251 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7252 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7253 exploitable.
7254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7255
7256 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7257 the 0.9.6 release series:
7258
7259 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7260 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7261 (CVE-2002-0657)
7262 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7263
7264 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7265 [Richard Levitte]
7266
7267 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7268 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7269
7270 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7271 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7272
7273 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7274 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7275 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7276 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7277
7278 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7279 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7280 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7281
7282 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7283 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7284 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7285 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7286
7287 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7288 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7289 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7290 some local tweaks:
7291
7292 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7293 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7294 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7295 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7296 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7297 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7298 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7299 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7300 done
7301
7302 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7303 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7304 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7305 [Richard Levitte]
7306
7307 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7308 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7309 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7310 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7311 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7312
7313 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7314 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7315
7316 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7317 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7318 [Richard Levitte]
7319
7320 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7321 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7322 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7323 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7324 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7325 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7326 [Steve Henson]
7327
7328 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7329 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7330 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7331 [Steve Henson]
7332
7333 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7334 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7335 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7336
7337 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7338 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7339 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7340 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7341 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7342 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7343 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7344 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7345
7346 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7347 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7348 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7349 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7350 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7351 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7352 [Steve Henson]
7353
7354 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7355 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7356 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7357 declaration has been changed from
7358 int (*cb)()
7359 into
7360 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7361 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7362 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7363 has been changed into
7364 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7365
7366 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7367 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7368 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7369
7370 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7371 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7372
7373 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7374 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7375 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7376 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7377 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7378 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7379 always load it have also been added.
7380 [Steve Henson]
7381
7382 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7383 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7384 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7385
7386 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7387
7388 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7389 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7390 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7391
7392 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7393 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7394 command line option can be used to specify an
7395 alternative file.
7396 [Steve Henson]
7397
7398 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7399 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7400 [Steve Henson]
7401
7402 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7403 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7404 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7405 [Steve Henson]
7406
7407 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7408 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7409 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7410 to work with the new engine framework.
7411 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7412
7413 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7414 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7415 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7416 to work with the new engine framework.
7417 [Richard Levitte]
7418
7419 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7420 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7421 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7422
7423 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7424 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7425
7426 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7427 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7428 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7429 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7430 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7431 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7432
7433 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7434 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7435
7436 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7437 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7438
7439 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7440 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7441 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7442 [Ben Laurie]
7443
7444 *) Add new functions
7445 ERR_peek_last_error
7446 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7447 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7448 These are similar to
7449 ERR_peek_error
7450 ERR_peek_error_line
7451 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7452 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7453 still in the error queue.
7454 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7455
7456 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7457 like:
7458 default_algorithms = ALL
7459 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7460 [Steve Henson]
7461
7462 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7463 [Steve Henson]
7464
7465 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7466 [Steve Henson]
7467
7468 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7469 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7470 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7471 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7472
7473 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7474 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7475
7476 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7477 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7478
7479 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7480 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7481 [Bodo Moeller]
7482
7483 *) New functions/macros
7484
7485 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7486 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7487 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7488 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7489
7490 to request calling a callback function
7491
7492 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7493 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7494
7495 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7496 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7497 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7498 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7499 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7500 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7501 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7502 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7503 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7504 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7505
7506 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7507 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7508 [Bodo Moeller]
7509
7510 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7511 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7512 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7513 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7514 the configuration scripts.
7515
7516 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7517 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7518 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7519
7520 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7521 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7522
7523 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7524 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7525 when reusing an existing buffer.
7526 [Bodo Moeller]
7527
7528 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7529 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7530 [Steve Henson]
7531
7532 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7533 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7534 [Ben Laurie]
7535
7536 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7537 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7538 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7539 has the same effect.
7540 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7541
7542 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7543 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7544 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7545 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7546 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7547 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7548 exception.
7549
7550 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7551 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7552 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7553 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7554
7555 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7556 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7557 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7558 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7559
7560 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7561 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7562 won't work.
7563
7564 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7565 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7566 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7567 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7568 default), and then completely removed.
7569 [Richard Levitte]
7570
7571 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7572 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7573 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7574 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7575 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7576 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7577 particular extension is supported.
7578 [Steve Henson]
7579
7580 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7581 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7582 [Steve Henson]
7583
7584 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7585 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7586 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7587 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7588 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7589 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7590 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7591 requires the destination to be valid.
7592
7593 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7594 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7595 [Steve Henson]
7596
7597 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7598 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7599 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7600 [Bodo Moeller]
7601
7602 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7603 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7604
7605 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7606 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7607 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7608 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7609 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7610 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7611 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7612 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7613 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7614 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7615 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7616 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7617 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7618 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7619 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7620 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7621 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7622 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7623 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7624 the new code.
7625 [Geoff Thorpe]
7626
7627 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7628 [Steve Henson]
7629
7630 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7631 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7632 become part of libeay.num as well.
7633 [Richard Levitte]
7634
7635 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7636 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7637 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7638 false once a handshake has been completed.
7639 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7640 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7641 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7642 client has followed the request.)
7643 [Bodo Moeller]
7644
7645 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7646 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7647 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7648 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7649
7650 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7651 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7652 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7653 [Bodo Moeller]
7654
7655 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7656 [Steve Henson]
7657
7658 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7659 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7660 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7661 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7662
7663 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7664 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7665 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7666
7667 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7668 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7669 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7670 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7671 [Geoff Thorpe]
7672
7673 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7674 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7675 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7676 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7677 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7678 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7679 [Geoff Thorpe]
7680
7681 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7682 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7683 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7684 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7685 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7686 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7687 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7688 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7689 [Geoff Thorpe]
7690
7691 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7692 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7693 [Geoff Thorpe]
7694
7695 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7696 [Ben Laurie]
7697
7698 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7699 md_data void pointer.
7700 [Ben Laurie]
7701
7702 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7703 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7704 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7705 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7706 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7707 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7708 [Ben Laurie]
7709
7710 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7711 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7712 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7713 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7714 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7715 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7716 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7717 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7718 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7719 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7720 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7721 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7722 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7723 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7724 rather than letting it slide.
7725
7726 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7727 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7728 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7729 [Geoff Thorpe]
7730
7731 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7732 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7733 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7734 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7735 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7736 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7737 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7738 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7739 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7740 [Geoff Thorpe]
7741
7742 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7743 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7744 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7745 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7746 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7747
7748 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7749 [Geoff Thorpe]
7750
7751 *) Add EVP test program.
7752 [Ben Laurie]
7753
7754 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7755 [Ben Laurie]
7756
7757 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7758 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7759 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7760 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7761 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7762 [Steve Henson]
7763
7764 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7765 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7766 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7767 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7768 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7769 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7770 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7771
7772 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7773 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7774 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7775 Usage example:
7776
7777 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7778
7779 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7780 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7781 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7782 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7783 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7784
7785 [Ben Laurie]
7786
7787 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7788 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7789 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7790 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7791 anyway): E.g.,
7792
7793 des_key_schedule ks;
7794
7795 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7796 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7797
7798 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7799 [Ben Laurie]
7800
7801 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7802 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7803 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7804 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7805 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7806 functions prevents this.
7807 [Steve Henson]
7808
7809 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7810 [Ben Laurie]
7811
7812 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7813 correct _ecb suffix.
7814 [Ben Laurie]
7815
7816 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7817 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7818 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7819 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7820 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7821 [Steve Henson]
7822
7823 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7824 [Richard Levitte]
7825
7826 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7827 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7828 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7829 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7830
7831 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7832 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7833
7834 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7835 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7836 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7837 via Richard Levitte]
7838
7839 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7840 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7841 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7842 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7843 [Geoff Thorpe]
7844
7845 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7846 Before:
7847 encrypt
7848 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7849 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
7850 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

7855 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
7856 After:
7857 encrypt
7858 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
7859 decrypt
7860 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
7861 [Ben Laurie]
7862
7863 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7864 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7865
7866 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7867 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7868 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7869 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7870 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7871 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7872 [Steve Henson]
7873
7874 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7875 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7876 [Richard Levitte]
7877
7878 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7879 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7880 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7881 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7882
7883 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7884 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7885 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7886 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7887 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7888 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7889 callback.
7890 [Richard Levitte]
7891
7892 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7893 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7894 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7895 and interrupts/cancellations.
7896 [Richard Levitte]
7897
7898 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7899 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7900 [Steve Henson]
7901
7902 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7903 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7904 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7905
7906 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7907 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7908 kind of callback.
7909 [Richard Levitte]
7910
7911 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7912 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7913 than this minimum value is recommended.
7914 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7915
7916 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7917 that are easily reachable.
7918 [Richard Levitte]
7919
7920 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7921 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7922
7923 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7924
7925 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7926 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7927 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7928 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7929 [Steve Henson]
7930
7931 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7932 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7933 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7934 [Steve Henson]
7935
7936 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7937 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7938 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7939 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7940 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7941 internally such as S/MIME.
7942
7943 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7944 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7945 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7946
7947 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7948 applications.
7949 [Steve Henson]
7950
7951 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7952 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7953 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7954 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7955
7956 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7957
7958 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7959
7960 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7961 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7962 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7963 handling.
7964 [Steve Henson]
7965
7966 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7967 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7968 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7969 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7970 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7971 a window system and the like.
7972 [Richard Levitte]
7973
7974 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7975 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7976 [Geoff]
7977
7978 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7979 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7980 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7981 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7982 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7983 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7984 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7985 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7986 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7987 ENGINE structure.
7988 [Geoff]
7989
7990 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7991 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7992 tag cache.
7993 [Steve Henson]
7994
7995 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7996 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7997 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7998 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7999 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8000 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8001 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8002 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8003 [Geoff]
8004
8005 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8006 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8007 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8008 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8009 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8010 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8011 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8012 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8013 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8014 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8015 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8016 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8017 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8018 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8019 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8020 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8021 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8022 [Geoff]
8023
8024 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8025 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8026 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8027 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8028 internal engine_int.h header.
8029 [Geoff]
8030
8031 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8032 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8033 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8034 modify their own ones).
8035 [Geoff]
8036
8037 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8038 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8039 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8040 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8041 later on via ctrl() commands.
8042 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8043 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8044 structural references.
8045 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8046 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8047 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8048 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8049 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8050 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8051 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8052 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8053 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8054 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8055 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8056 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8057 [Geoff]
8058
8059 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8060 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8061 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8062 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8063 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8064 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8065 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8066 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8067 [Bodo Moeller]
8068
8069 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8070 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8071 [Steve Henson]
8072
8073 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8074 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8075 [Steve Henson]
8076
8077 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8078 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8079 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8080 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8081 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8082 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8083 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8084 [Steve Henson]
8085
8086 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8087 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8088 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8089 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8090 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8091
8092 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8093 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8094 generator).
8095 [Bodo Moeller]
8096
8097 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8098
8099 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8100 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8101 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8102
8103 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8104 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8105
8106 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8107 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8108 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8109
8110 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8111 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8112
8113 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8114 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8115
8116 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8117
8118 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8119 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8120 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8121 [Bodo Moeller]
8122
8123 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8124 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8125 [Richard Levitte]
8126
8127 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8128 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8129 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8130 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8131 is 40 of more characters long.
8132 [Steve Henson]
8133
8134 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8135 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8136 pointers.
8137 [Steve Henson]
8138
8139 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8140 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8141 [Bodo Moeller]
8142
8143 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8144 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8145 might.
8146 [Steve Henson]
8147
8148 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8149
8150 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8151 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8152
8153 ASN1 error codes
8154 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8155 ...
8156 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8157 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8158 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8159 ...
8160 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8161 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8162
8163 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8164 [Bodo Moeller]
8165
8166 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8167 suffices.
8168 [Bodo Moeller]
8169
8170 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8171 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8172 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8173 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8174 and
8175 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8176
8177 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8178 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8179
8180 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8181 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8182 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8183 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8184 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8185 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8186
8187 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8188 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8189
8190 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8191 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8192
8193 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8194 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8195
8196 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8197 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8198 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8199 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8200
8201 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8202 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8203
8204 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8205 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8206
8207 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8208 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8209 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8210 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8211 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8212 [Richard Levitte]
8213
8214 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8215 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8216 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8217 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8218 [Steve Henson]
8219
8220 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8221 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8222 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8223 trust settings.
8224 [Steve Henson]
8225
8226 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8227 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8228 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8229 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8230 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8231 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8232 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8233 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8234 ocsp utility.
8235 [Steve Henson]
8236
8237 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8238 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8239 [Steve Henson]
8240
8241 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8242 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8243 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8244 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8245 [Steve Henson]
8246
8247 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8248 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8249 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8250 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8251 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8252 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8253 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8254 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8255 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8256 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8257 [Steve Henson]
8258
8259 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8260 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8261 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8262 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8263 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8264 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8265 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8266 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8267
8268 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8269 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8270 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8271 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8272 [Richard Levitte]
8273
8274 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8275 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8276 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8277 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8278 opensslconf.h.
8279 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8280 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8281 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8282 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8283 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8284 what is available.
8285 [Richard Levitte]
8286
8287 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8288 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8289 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8290 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8291 auto incremented.
8292 [Steve Henson]
8293
8294 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8295 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8296 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8297 [Steve Henson]
8298
8299 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8300 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8301 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8302 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8303 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8304 [Steve Henson]
8305
8306 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8307 [Steve Henson]
8308
8309 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8310 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8311 option to ocsp utility.
8312 [Steve Henson]
8313
8314 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8315 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8316 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8317 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8318 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8319 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8320 the request is nonce-less.
8321 [Steve Henson]
8322
8323 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8324 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8325 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8326 [Bodo Moeller]
8327
8328 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8329 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8330 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8331 [Steve Henson]
8332
8333 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8334 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8335 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8336 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8337 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8338 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8339
8340 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8341 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8342 appear to exist.
8343 [Steve Henson]
8344
8345 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8346 additional certificates supplied.
8347 [Steve Henson]
8348
8349 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8350 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8351 signature against.
8352 [Richard Levitte]
8353
8354 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8355 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8356 AES OIDs.
8357
8358 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8359 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8360 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8361 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8362 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8363 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8364 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8365 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8366 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8367
8368 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8369 request to response.
8370 [Steve Henson]
8371
8372 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8373 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8374 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8375 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8376 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8377 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8378 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8379 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8380 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8381 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8382 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8383 [Steve Henson]
8384
8385 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8386 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8387 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8388 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8389 [Steve Henson]
8390
8391 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8392 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8393
8394 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8395 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8396 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8397 [Steve Henson]
8398
8399 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8400 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8401 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8402 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8403 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8404
8405 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8406 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8407 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8408 [Steve Henson]
8409
8410 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8411 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8412 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8413 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8414 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8415 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8416 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8417 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8418
8419 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8420 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8421 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8422 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8423 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8424 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8425 [Steve Henson]
8426
8427 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8428 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8429 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8430 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8431 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8432 printout format cleaned up.
8433 [Steve Henson]
8434
8435 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8436 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8437 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8438 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8439 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8440 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8441 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8442 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8443 [Steve Henson]
8444
8445 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8446 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8447 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8448 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8449 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8450 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8451 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8452 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8453 [Steve Henson]
8454
8455 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8456 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8457 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8458 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8459 section to use.
8460 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8461
8462 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8463 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8464 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8465 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8466 [Steve Henson]
8467
8468 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8469 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8470 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8471 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8472 in the index file.
8473 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8474
8475 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8476 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8477 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8478 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8479
8480 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8481 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8482
8483 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8484 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8485 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8486 [Steve Henson]
8487
8488 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8489 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8490 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8491 [Bodo Moeller]
8492
8493 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8494 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8495 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8496 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8497 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8498 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8499 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8500 functions are provided:
8501
8502 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8503 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8504 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8505 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8506
8507 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8508 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8509 extended allocation function is enabled.
8510 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8511 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8512 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8513
8514 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8515 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8516 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8517 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8518 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8519 [Geoff Thorpe]
8520
8521 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8522 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8523 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8524 be queried.
8525 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8526 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8527 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8528 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8529
8530 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8531 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8532 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8533 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8534 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8535 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8536 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8537 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8538 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8539 [Richard Levitte]
8540
8541 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8542 provide utility functions which an application needing
8543 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8544 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8545 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8546
8547 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8548 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8549 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8550 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8551 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8552 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8553 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8554 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8555 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8556
8557 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8558 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8559 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8560 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8561 [Steve Henson]
8562
8563 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8564 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8565 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8566 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8567 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8568 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8569 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8570 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8571 will be added elsewhere.
8572 [Steve Henson]
8573
8574 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8575 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8576 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8577 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8578 [Steve Henson]
8579
8580 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8581 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8582 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8583 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8584 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8585 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8586 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8587 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8588 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8589 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8590 to produce the required SET OF.
8591 [Steve Henson]
8592
8593 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8594 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8595 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8596 [Richard Levitte]
8597
8598 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8599 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8600 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8601 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8602 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8603 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8604 [Steve Henson]
8605
8606 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8607 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8608 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8609 [Steve Henson]
8610
8611 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8612 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8613 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8614 [Richard Levitte]
8615
8616 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8617 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8618 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8619 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8620 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8621 [Steve Henson]
8622
8623 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8624 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8625 [Steve Henson]
8626
8627 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8628 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8629 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8630 certificates and CRLs.
8631 [Steve Henson]
8632
8633 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8634 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8635 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8636 [Steve Henson]
8637
8638 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8639 entries for variables.
8640 [Steve Henson]
8641
8642 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8643 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8644 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8645 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8646 [Bodo Moeller]
8647
8648 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8649 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8650 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8651 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8652 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8653 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8654 [Bodo Moeller]
8655
8656 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8657 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8658
8659 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8660 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8661 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8662 [Steve Henson]
8663
8664 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8665 print routines.
8666 [Steve Henson]
8667
8668 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8669 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8670 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8671 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8672 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8673 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8674 [Steve Henson]
8675
8676 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8677 [Steve Henson]
8678
8679 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8680 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8681 for now but they will eventually go away.
8682 [Steve Henson]
8683
8684 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8685 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8686 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8687 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8688 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8689 has also been converted to the new form.
8690 [Steve Henson]
8691
8692 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8693 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8694 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8695 for negative moduli.
8696 [Bodo Moeller]
8697
8698 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8699 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8700 [Bodo Moeller]
8701
8702 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8703 set.
8704 [Bodo Moeller]
8705
8706 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8707 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8708 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8709 type-specific callbacks.
8710 [Geoff Thorpe]
8711
8712 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8713 RFC 2712.
8714 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8715 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8716
8717 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8718 in sections depending on the subject.
8719 [Richard Levitte]
8720
8721 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8722 Windows.
8723 [Richard Levitte]
8724
8725 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8726 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8727 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8728 be handled deterministically).
8729 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8730
8731 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8732 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8733 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8734 [Bodo Moeller]
8735
8736 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8737 [Bodo Moeller]
8738
8739 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8740 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8741 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8742 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8743 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8744 [Bodo Moeller]
8745
8746 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8747 sign of the number in question.
8748
8749 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8750
8751 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8752 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8753 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8754 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8755 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8756 [Bodo Moeller]
8757
8758 *) New function BN_swap.
8759 [Bodo Moeller]
8760
8761 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8762 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8763 results on negative inputs.
8764 [Bodo Moeller]
8765
8766 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8767 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8768 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8769 [Bodo Moeller]
8770
8771 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8772 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8773 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8774 and add new functions:
8775
8776 BN_nnmod
8777 BN_mod_sqr
8778 BN_mod_add
8779 BN_mod_add_quick
8780 BN_mod_sub
8781 BN_mod_sub_quick
8782 BN_mod_lshift1
8783 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8784 BN_mod_lshift
8785 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8786
8787 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8788
8789 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8790 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8791
8792 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8793 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8794 be reduced modulo m.
8795 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8796
8797 #if 0
8798 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8799 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8800 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8801
8802 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8803 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8804 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8805 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8806 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8807 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8808 differing sizes.
8809 [Richard Levitte]
8810 #endif
8811
8812 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8813 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8814 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8815 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8816 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8817
8818 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8819 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8820 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8821 cause any problems.
8822 [Bodo Moeller]
8823
8824 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8825 [Richard Levitte]
8826
8827 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8828 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8829 [Richard Levitte]
8830
8831 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8832 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8833 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8834 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8835 time)
8836 [Richard Levitte]
8837
8838 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8839 [Richard Levitte]
8840
8841 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8842 [Richard Levitte]
8843
8844 *) Add the following functions:
8845
8846 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8847 ENGINE_load_chil()
8848 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8849 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8850 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8851
8852 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8853 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8854 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8855 libraries unless it's really needed.
8856
8857 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8858 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8859 declarations (they differed!).
8860 [Richard Levitte]
8861
8862 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8863 [Richard Levitte]
8864
8865 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8866 [Richard Levitte]
8867
8868 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8869 [Bodo Moeller]
8870
8871 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8872 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8873 [Richard Levitte]
8874
8875 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8876 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8877 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8878
8879 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8880 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8881 [Richard Levitte]
8882
8883 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8884 [Richard Levitte]
8885
8886 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8887 [Richard Levitte]
8888
8889 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8890 [Ben Laurie]
8891
8892 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8893 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8894 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8895
8896 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8897 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8898 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8899 different shared library filenames on each system.
8900 [Geoff Thorpe]
8901
8902 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8903 [Richard Levitte]
8904
8905 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8906 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8907 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8908 of two sections.
8909 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8910
8911 *) NCONF changes.
8912 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8913 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8914 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8915 binary backward compatibility.
8916 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8917 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8918 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8919 LDAP server.
8920 [Richard Levitte]
8921
8922 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8923 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8924 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8925 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8926 this case.
8927 [Steve Henson]
8928
8929 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8930 [Ben Laurie]
8931
8932 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8933 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8934 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8935 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8936 set.
8937 [Steve Henson]
8938
8939 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8940 [Richard Levitte]
8941
8942 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8943
8944 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8945 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8946 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8947
8948 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8949
8950 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8951
8952 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8953 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8954 [Steve Henson]
8955
8956 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8957
8958 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8959
8960 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8961 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8962
8963 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8964 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8965
8966 [Steve Henson]
8967
8968 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8969 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8970 specifications.
8971 [Steve Henson]
8972
8973 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8974 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8975 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8976 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8977
8978 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8979 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8980 [Richard Levitte]
8981
8982 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8983
8984 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8985 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8986 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8987 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8988 [Bodo Moeller]
8989
8990 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8991 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8992 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8993 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8994 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8995
8996 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8997 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8998 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8999 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9000 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9001 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9002 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9003 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9004 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9005 [Bodo Moeller]
9006
9007 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9008
9009 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9010 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9011 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9012 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9013 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9014
9015 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9016 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9017 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9018
9019 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9020
9021 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9022 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9023 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9024 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9025 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9026 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9027 [Geoff Thorpe]
9028
9029 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9030 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9031 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9032 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9033 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9034 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9035
9036 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9037 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9038 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9039
9040 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9041 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9042 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9043 EVP_cleanup().
9044 [Richard Levitte]
9045
9046 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9047 being properly terminated.
9048 [Richard Levitte]
9049
9050 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9051 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9052 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9053 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9054
9055 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9056 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9057 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9058 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9059 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9060 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9061 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9062 change.
9063 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9064
9065 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9066 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9067 [Bodo Moeller]
9068
9069 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9070 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9071 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9072 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9073 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9074 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9075 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9076 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9077
9078 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9079 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9080 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9081 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9082 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9083
9084 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9085 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9086 [Steve Henson]
9087
9088 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9089
9090 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9091 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9092 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9093
9094 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9095
9096 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9097 and get fix the header length calculation.
9098 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9099 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9100 Steve Henson]
9101
9102 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9103 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9104 assertions could call abort()).
9105 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9106
9107 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9108
9109 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9110 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9111 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9112 supplied buffer.
9113 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9114
9115 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9116 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9117 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9118 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9119
9120 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9121 [Nils Larsch]
9122
9123 *) New option
9124 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9125 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9126 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9127
9128 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9129 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9130 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9131 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9132 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9133 applications.
9134 [Bodo Moeller]
9135
9136 *) Changes in security patch:
9137
9138 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9139 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9140 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9141 F30602-01-2-0537.
9142
9143 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9144 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9145 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9146 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9147 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9148
9149 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9150 happen in practice.
9151 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9152
9153 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9154 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9155 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9156
9157 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9158 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9159 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9160
9161 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9162 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9163 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9164
9165 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9166
9167 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9168 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9169 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9170
9171 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9172 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9173
9174 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9175 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9176 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9177 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9178 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9179 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9180 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9181
9182 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9183 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9184 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9185 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9186 [Bodo Moeller]
9187
9188 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9189 [Bodo Moeller]
9190
9191 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9192 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9193 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9194 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9195 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9196 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9197
9198 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9199 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9200 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9201 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9202 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9203 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9204
9205 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9206 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9207 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9208 BN_generate_prime().)
9209
9210 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9211 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9212 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9213 better.
9214 [Bodo Moeller]
9215
9216 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9217 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9218 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9219
9220 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9221 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9222 when using non-blocking I/O.
9223 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9224
9225 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9226 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9227
9228 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9229 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9230 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9231
9232 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9233 configuration for the versions before that.
9234 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9235
9236 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9237 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9238 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9239 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9240 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9241
9242 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9243 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9244 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9245 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9246
9247 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9248 value is 0.
9249 [Richard Levitte]
9250
9251 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9252 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9253 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9254
9255 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9256 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9257
9258 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9259 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9260 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9261 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9262 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9263 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9264 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9265 session cache.
9266
9267 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9268 using a local variable.
9269 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9270
9271 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9272 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9273 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9274
9275 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9276 [Richard Levitte]
9277
9278 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9279 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9280
9281 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9282 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9283 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9284
9285 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9286
9287 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9288 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9289 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9290 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9291 [Bodo Moeller]
9292
9293 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9294 present.
9295 [Steve Henson]
9296
9297 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9298 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9299 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9300 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9301 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9302
9303 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9304 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9305 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9306
9307 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9308 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9309 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9310
9311 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9312 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9313 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9314 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9315
9316 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9317 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9318 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9319 modules).
9320 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9321
9322 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9323 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9324 from 0.9.7.
9325 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9326
9327 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9328 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9329 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9330 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9331
9332 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9333 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9334 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9335 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9336
9337 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9338 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9339
9340 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9341 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9342 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9343 [Bodo Moeller]
9344
9345 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9346 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9347 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9348 become invalid.
9349 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9350
9351 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9352 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9353 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9354 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9355 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9356 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9357 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9358 [Bodo Moeller]
9359
9360 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9361 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9362 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9363 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9364
9365 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9366 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9367 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9368 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9369 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9370 the client will at least see that alert.
9371 [Bodo Moeller]
9372
9373 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9374 correctly.
9375 [Bodo Moeller]
9376
9377 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9378 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9379 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9380
9381 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9382 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9383 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9384 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9385 HelloRequest.
9386
9387 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9388 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9389 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9390
9391 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9392 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9393 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9394 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9395 may leak via logfiles.)
9396
9397 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9398 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9399 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9400 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9401 the legal range.
9402 [Bodo Moeller]
9403
9404 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9405 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9406 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9407
9408 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9409 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9410 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9411 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9412 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9413 [Bodo Moeller]
9414
9415 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9416 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9417
9418 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9419 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9420 followed by modular reduction.
9421 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9422
9423 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9424 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9425 [Bodo Moeller]
9426
9427 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9428 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9429 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9430 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9431 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9432
9433 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9434 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9435
9436 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9437 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9438 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9439
9440 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9441 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9442 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9443 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9444 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9445 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9446 automatically.
9447 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9448
9449 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9450 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9451 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9452 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9453 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9454
9455 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9456 [Andy Polyakov]
9457
9458 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9459 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9460 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9461 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9462 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9463 to allow the necessary settings.
9464 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9465
9466 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9467 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9468 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9469 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9470 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9471
9472 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9473 dh->length and always used
9474
9475 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9476
9477 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9478 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9479 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9480 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9481 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9482 dh->length.
9483
9484 So switch back to
9485
9486 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9487
9488 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9489 otherwise.
9490 [Bodo Moeller]
9491
9492 *) In
9493
9494 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9495 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9496 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9497 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9498
9499 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9500 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9501 always reject numbers >= n.
9502 [Bodo Moeller]
9503
9504 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9505 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9506 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9507 variable) is not atomic.
9508 [Bodo Moeller]
9509
9510 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9511 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9512 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9513 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9514
9515 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9516 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9517
9518 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9519 little-endian MIPS.
9520 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9521
9522 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9523 [Richard Levitte]
9524
9525 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9526
9527 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9528 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9529 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9530 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9531 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9532 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9533 to traverse all of 'state'.
9534
9535 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9536 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9537 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9538
9539 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9540 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9541
9542 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9543 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9544 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9545 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9546 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9547 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9548 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9549 further strengthens the PRNG.
9550 [Bodo Moeller]
9551
9552 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9553 [Andy Polyakov]
9554
9555 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9556 an error message in this case.
9557 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9558
9559 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9560 [Steve Henson]
9561
9562 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9563 positive and less than q.
9564 [Bodo Moeller]
9565
9566 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9567 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9568 that itself.
9569 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9570
9571 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9572 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9573 [Bodo Moeller]
9574
9575 *) Fix OAEP check.
9576 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9577
9578 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9579 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9580 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9581 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9582 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9583 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9584 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9585 paper.)
9586
9587 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9588 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9589 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9590 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9591
9592 Both problems are now fixed.
9593 [Bodo Moeller]
9594
9595 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9596 (previously it was 1024).
9597 [Bodo Moeller]
9598
9599 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9600 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9601 [Steve Henson]
9602
9603 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9604 [Steve Henson]
9605
9606 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9607 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9608 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9609 [Steve Henson]
9610
9611 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9612 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9613 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9614 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9615 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9616 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9617 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9618 environment variables.
9619
9620 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9621 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9622 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9623 [Bodo Moeller]
9624
9625 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9626 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9627 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9628 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9629 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9630 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9631 [Bodo Moeller]
9632
9633 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9634 versions of 'test'.
9635 [Bodo Moeller]
9636
9637 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9638
9639 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9640 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9641
9642 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9643 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9644 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9645 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9646 CygWin.
9647 [Richard Levitte]
9648
9649 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9650 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9651 amount of data available.
9652 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9653 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9654
9655 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9656 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9657 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9658 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9659 [Bodo Moeller]
9660
9661 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9662 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9663 and UnixWare.
9664 [Richard Levitte]
9665
9666 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9667 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9668 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9669 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9670 [Ulf Moeller]
9671
9672 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9673 [Andy Polyakov]
9674
9675 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9676 [Richard Levitte]
9677
9678 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9679 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9680 [Steve Henson]
9681 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9682
9683 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9684 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9685 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9686 (but broken) behaviour.
9687 [Steve Henson]
9688
9689 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9690 it when found.
9691 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9692
9693 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9694 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9695 [Bodo Moeller]
9696
9697 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9698 did not exist.
9699 [Bodo Moeller]
9700
9701 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9702 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9703
9704 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9705 [Richard Levitte]
9706
9707 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9708 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9709 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9710
9711 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9712 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9713 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9714 [Steve Henson]
9715
9716 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9717 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9718 [Ulf Moeller]
9719
9720 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9721 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9722
9723 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9724
9725 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9726
9727 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9728 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9729 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9730 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9731 [Bodo Moeller]
9732
9733 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9734 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9735
9736 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9737 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9738 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9739
9740 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9741 was empty.
9742 [Steve Henson]
9743 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9744
9745 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9746 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9747 but the code is actually correct.
9748 [Steve Henson]
9749
9750 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9751 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9752 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9753 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9754 and leaves the highest bit random.
9755 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9756
9757 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9758 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9759 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9760 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9761 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9762 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9763 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9764 [Bodo Moeller]
9765
9766 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9767 [Ulf Moeller]
9768
9769 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9770 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9771 [Steve Henson]
9772
9773 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9774 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9775 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9776 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9777 headers.
9778 [Richard Levitte]
9779
9780 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9781 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9782 and break the signature.
9783 [Steve Henson]
9784 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9785
9786 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9787 DH ciphersuites.
9788 [Steve Henson]
9789
9790 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9791 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9792 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9793 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9794 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9795 [Bodo Moeller]
9796
9797 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9798 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9799
9800 *) ./config script fixes.
9801 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9802
9803 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9804 [Bodo Moeller]
9805
9806 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9807 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9808 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9809 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9810 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9811
9812 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9813 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9814 [Bodo Moeller]
9815
9816 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9817 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9818 [Steve Henson]
9819
9820 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9821 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9822 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9823 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9824
9825 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9826 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9827
9828 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9829 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9830 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9831 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9832 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9833
9834 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9835 [Bodo Moeller]
9836
9837 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9838 [Ulf Möller]
9839
9840 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9841 [Ulf Möller]
9842
9843 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9844 [Bodo Moeller]
9845
9846 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9847 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9848 [Bodo Moeller]
9849
9850 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9851 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9852 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9853 result of the server certificate verification.)
9854 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9855
9856 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9857 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9858 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9859 [Bodo Moeller]
9860
9861 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9862 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9863 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9864 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9865 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9866 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9867 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9868 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9869 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9870 [Bodo Moeller]
9871
9872 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9873 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9874 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9875 happening the other way round.
9876 [Geoff Thorpe]
9877
9878 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9879 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9880 [Bodo Moeller]
9881
9882 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9883 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9884 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9885 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9886 [Richard Levitte]
9887
9888 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9889 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9890
9891 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9892
9893 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9894 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9895 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9896 that.
9897
9898 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9899
9900 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9901
9902 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9903 static ones.
9904 [Richard Levitte]
9905
9906 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9907
9908 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9909 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9910 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9911 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9912 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9913
9914 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9915 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9916 matter what.
9917 [Richard Levitte]
9918
9919 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9920 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9921
9922 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9923
9924 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9925 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9926 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9927 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9928 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9929 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9930 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9931 by the Finished messages.
9932 [Bodo Moeller]
9933
9934 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9935 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9936
9937 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9938 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9939 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9940 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9941 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9942 appropriately.
9943 [Steve Henson]
9944
9945 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9946 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9947 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9948 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9949 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9950 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9951 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9952 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9953 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9954 together.
9955 [Steve Henson]
9956
9957 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9958 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9959 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9960 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9961
9962 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9963 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9964 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9965 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9966 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9967 the answer.
9968
9969 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9970 been tested well enough.
9971 [Richard Levitte]
9972
9973 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9974 it can return incorrect results.
9975 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9976 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9977 [Bodo Moeller]
9978
9979 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9980 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9981 include zero length content when signing messages.
9982 [Steve Henson]
9983
9984 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9985 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9986 [Bodo Möller]
9987
9988 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9989 [Richard Levitte]
9990
9991 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9992 wrong sign.
9993 [Ulf Möller]
9994
9995 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9996 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9997 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9998 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9999 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10000 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10001 [Richard Levitte]
10002
10003 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10004 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10005
10006 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10007 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10008
10009 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10010 random number < q in the DSA library.
10011 [Ulf Möller]
10012
10013 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10014 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10015 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10016 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10017 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10018 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10019 just makes things more complicated.)
10020 [Bodo Moeller]
10021
10022 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10023 from EGD.
10024 [Ben Laurie]
10025
10026 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10027 work better on such systems.
10028 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10029
10030 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10031 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10032 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10033 [Steve Henson]
10034
10035 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10036 if there was more than one signature.
10037 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10038
10039 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10040 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10041 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10042 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10043 [Richard Levitte]
10044
10045 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10046 rather than always using the current time.
10047 [Steve Henson]
10048
10049 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10050 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10051 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10052 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10053 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10054 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10055
10056 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10057 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10058
10059 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10060
10061 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10062 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10063 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10064 the same hash value.
10065
10066 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10067 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10068 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10069 with X509_STORE internally.
10070
10071 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10072 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10073
10074 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10075 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10076 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10077 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10078 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10079 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10080 entirely (maybe later...).
10081
10082 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10083
10084 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10085 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10086 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10087 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10088 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10089 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10090 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10091 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10092
10093 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10094 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10095
10096 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10097 to customise the verify behaviour.
10098 [Steve Henson]
10099
10100 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10101 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10102 [Steve Henson]
10103
10104 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10105 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10106 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10107 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10108 request is improperly encoded.
10109 [Steve Henson]
10110
10111 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10112 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10113 BIO_write(b, ...).
10114
10115 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10116 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10117
10118 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10119 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10120 words set to zero.)
10121 [Bodo Moeller]
10122
10123 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10124 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10125 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10126 [Bodo Moeller]
10127
10128 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10129 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10130 BIO/fp routines also added.
10131 [Steve Henson]
10132
10133 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10134 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10135
10136 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10137 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10138 demos/state_machine.
10139 [Ben Laurie]
10140
10141 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10142 generation and verification.
10143 [Steve Henson]
10144
10145 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10146 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10147 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10148 encode and decode it manually.
10149 [Steve Henson]
10150
10151 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10152 compile under VC++.
10153 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10154
10155 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10156 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10157 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10158 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10159
10160 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10161 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10162 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10163 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10164 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10165 [Steve Henson]
10166
10167 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10168 [Richard Levitte]
10169
10170 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10171 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10172 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10173
10174 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10175 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10176 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10177 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10178 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10179 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10180 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10181 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10182
10183 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10184 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10185
10186 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10187
10188 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10189 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10190 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10191
10192 [Richard Levitte]
10193
10194 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10195 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10196 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10197 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10198 [Richard Levitte]
10199
10200 *) MD4 implemented.
10201 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10202
10203 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10204 [Richard Levitte]
10205
10206 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10207 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10208 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10209 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10210 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10211 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10212 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10213 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10214 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10215 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10216 short or long names are found.
10217 [Steve Henson]
10218
10219 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10220 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10221
10222 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10223 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10224 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10225 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10226
10227 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10228 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10229 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10230 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10231 [Bodo Moeller]
10232
10233 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10234 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10235 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10236 [Richard Levitte]
10237
10238 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10239 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10240 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10241 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10242 to allow the various flags to be set.
10243 [Steve Henson]
10244
10245 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10246 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10247 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10248 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10249 dates to be checked.
10250 [Steve Henson]
10251
10252 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10253 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10254 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10255 [Steve Henson]
10256
10257 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10258 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10259 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10260 [Steve Henson]
10261
10262 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10263 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10264 [Bodo Moeller]
10265
10266 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10267 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10268 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10269 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10270 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10271 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10272 [Richard Levitte]
10273
10274 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10275 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10276 Random Numbers.
10277 [Ulf Möller]
10278
10279 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10280 DSA key.
10281 [Steve Henson]
10282
10283 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10284 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10285 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10286 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10287 form signing output easier to verify.
10288 [Steve Henson]
10289
10290 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10291 [Steve Henson]
10292
10293 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10294 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10295 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10296 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10297 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10298 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10299 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10300 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10301 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10302 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10303 [Steve Henson]
10304
10305 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10306
10307 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10308 the syntax given in objects.README.
10309 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10310 obj_mac.h.
10311 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10312 obj_mac.h.
10313
10314 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10315 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10316 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10317 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10318 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10319 consistent name changes.
10320 [Richard Levitte]
10321
10322 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10323 [Bodo Moeller]
10324
10325 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10326 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10327 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10328 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10329 [Richard Levitte]
10330
10331 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10332 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10333 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10334 of safestack.h .
10335 [Steve Henson]
10336
10337 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10338 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10339 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10340 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10341 [Steve Henson]
10342
10343 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10344 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10345 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10346 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10347 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10348 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10349 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10350 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10351 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10352 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10353 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10354 [Steve Henson]
10355
10356 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10357 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10358 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10359 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10360 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10361 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10362 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10363 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10364 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10365 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10366 [Steve Henson]
10367
10368 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10369 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10370 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10371 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10372
10373 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10374 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10375 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10376 omit any duplicate addresses.
10377 [Steve Henson]
10378
10379 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10380 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10381 [Bodo Moeller]
10382
10383 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10384 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10385 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10386 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10387 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10388 [Bodo Moeller]
10389
10390 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10391 software:
10392 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10393 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10394 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10395 Free => OPENSSL_free
10396 [Richard Levitte]
10397
10398 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10399 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10400 [Bodo Moeller]
10401
10402 *) CygWin32 support.
10403 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10404
10405 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10406 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10407 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10408 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10409 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10410 approach.
10411 [Geoff Thorpe]
10412
10413 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10414 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10415 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10416 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10417 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10418 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10419 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10420 [Geoff Thorpe]
10421
10422 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10423 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10424 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10425 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10426 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10427 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10428 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10429 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10430 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10431 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10432 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10433 [Bodo Moeller]
10434
10435 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10436 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10437 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10438 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10439 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10440
10441 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10442 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10443 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10444 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10445 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10446
10447 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10448 ciphers.
10449
10450 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10451 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10452 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10453 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10454
10455 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10456
10457 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10458 of macros.
10459
10460 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10461 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10462 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10463 flags.
10464
10465 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10466 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10467 any installed hardware versions can.
10468 [Steve Henson]
10469
10470 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10471 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10472 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10473 number.
10474 [Bodo Moeller]
10475
10476 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10477 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10478 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10479 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10480 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10481
10482 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10483 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10484 [Steve Henson]
10485
10486 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10487 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10488 [Richard Levitte]
10489
10490 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10491 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10492 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10493 features.
10494 [Steve Henson]
10495
10496 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10497 [Ulf Möller]
10498
10499 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10500 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10501 but no ssl client purpose.
10502 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10503
10504 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10505 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10506 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10507 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10508 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10509 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10510 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10511 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10512 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10513 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10514 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10515 [Steve Henson]
10516
10517 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10518 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10519 be obtained from the error queue.
10520 [Bodo Moeller]
10521
10522 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10523 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10524 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10525 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10526 [Bodo Moeller]
10527
10528 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10529 [Ulf Möller]
10530
10531 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10532 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10533 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10534 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10535 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10536 [Geoff Thorpe]
10537
10538 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10539 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10540 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10541 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10542 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10543 [Geoff Thorpe]
10544
10545 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10546 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10547 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10548 may not be NULL.
10549 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10550
10551 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10552 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10553 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10554 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10555 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10556 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10557 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10558 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10559 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10560 or "the configuration storage API"...
10561
10562 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10563
10564 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10565 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10566
10567 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10568
10569 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10570
10571 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10572 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10573 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10574 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10575 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10576 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10577 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10578
10579 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10580 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10581 [Richard Levitte]
10582
10583 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10584 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10585 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10586 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10587 [Bodo Moeller]
10588
10589 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10590 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10591 them in a portable way.
10592 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10593
10594 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10595
10596 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10597
10598 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10599 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10600
10601 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10602 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10603 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10604 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10605
10606 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10607 was larger than the MD block size.
10608 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10609
10610 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10611 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10612 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10613 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10614 components.
10615 [Steve Henson]
10616
10617 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10618 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10619 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10620
10621 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10622 discouraged.
10623 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10624
10625 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10626 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10627 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10628 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10629 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10630 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10631
10632 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10633 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10634
10635 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10636 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10637 [Bodo Moeller]
10638
10639 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10640 [Bodo Moeller]
10641
10642 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10643 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10644 its own key.
10645 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10646 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10647 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10648 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10649 [Bodo Moeller]
10650
10651 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10652 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10653 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10654 does not suppress any output.
10655 [Richard Levitte]
10656
10657 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10658 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10659 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10660 with all the associated security issues.
10661
10662 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10663 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10664 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10665 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10666 use the value in the default purpose.
10667 [Steve Henson]
10668
10669 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10670 and fix a memory leak.
10671 [Steve Henson]
10672
10673 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10674 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10675 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10676 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10677 [Bodo Moeller]
10678
10679 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10680 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10681 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10682 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10683 [Bodo Moeller]
10684
10685 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10686 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10687 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10688 [Bodo Moeller]
10689
10690 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10691 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10692 [Bodo Moeller]
10693
10694 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10695 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10696 which was free.
10697 [Steve Henson]
10698
10699 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10700 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10701 [Bodo Moeller]
10702
10703 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10704 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10705 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10706 [Bodo Moeller]
10707
10708 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10709 number generation fails.
10710 [Bodo Moeller]
10711
10712 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10713 [Bodo Moeller]
10714
10715 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10716 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10717
10718 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10719 [Ulf Möller]
10720
10721 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10722 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10723
10724 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10725 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10726
10727 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10728
10729 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10730 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10731 [Steve Henson]
10732
10733 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10734 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10735
10736 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10737 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10738 [Ulf Möller]
10739
10740 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10741 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10742 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10743 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10744 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10745 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10746
10747 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10748 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10749 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10750 for example.
10751 [Steve Henson]
10752
10753 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10754 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10755 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10756 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10757 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10758 counter, some don't.)
10759 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10760 counters or duplicate objects.
10761 [Steve Henson]
10762
10763 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10764 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10765 [Steve Henson]
10766
10767 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10768 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10769 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10770
10771 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10772 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10773 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10774 or -rand.
10775 [Ulf Möller]
10776
10777 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10778 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10779 [Steve Henson]
10780
10781 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10782 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10783 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10784 cipher list.
10785 [Steve Henson]
10786
10787 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10788 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10789 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10790 [Steve Henson]
10791
10792 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10793 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10794 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10795 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10796 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10797 should work without changes.
10798 [Richard Levitte]
10799
10800 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10801 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10802 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10803 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10804 must be defined. E.g.,
10805 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10806 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10807 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10808 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10809
10810 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10811 record layer.
10812 [Bodo Moeller]
10813
10814 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10815 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10816 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10817 [Steve Henson]
10818
10819 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10820 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10821 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10822 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10823 [Steve Henson]
10824
10825 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10826 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10827 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10828 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10829 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10830 is prompted for as usual.
10831 [Steve Henson]
10832
10833 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10834 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10835 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10836 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10837
10838 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10839 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10840 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10841 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10842 [Steve Henson]
10843
10844 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10845 [Andy Polyakov]
10846
10847 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10848 of seed file.
10849 [Steve Henson]
10850
10851 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10852 [Bodo Moeller]
10853
10854 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10855 [Steve Henson]
10856
10857 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10858 bits.
10859 [Ulf Möller]
10860
10861 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10862 [Ulf Möller]
10863
10864 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10865 [Andy Polyakov]
10866
10867 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10868 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10869 [Ulf Möller]
10870
10871 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10872 options to produce them.
10873 [Steve Henson]
10874
10875 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10876 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10877 [Ulf Möller]
10878
10879 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10880 for p == 0.
10881 [Ulf Möller]
10882
10883 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10884 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10885 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10886 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10887 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10888 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10889 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10890 [Steve Henson]
10891
10892 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10893 [Steve Henson]
10894
10895 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10896 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10897 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10898 [Bodo Moeller]
10899
10900 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10901 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10902
10903 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10904 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10905 [Ulf Möller]
10906
10907 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10908 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10909 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10910 has already seen).
10911 [Bodo Moeller]
10912
10913 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10914 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10915
10916 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10917 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10918 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10919 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10920 generation becomes much faster.
10921
10922 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10923 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10924 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10925 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10926 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10927 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10928 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10929 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10930 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10931 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10932 [Bodo Moeller]
10933
10934 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10935 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10936 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10937 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10938 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10939 trial division stage.
10940 [Bodo Moeller]
10941
10942 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10943 as ASN1_TIME.
10944 [Steve Henson]
10945
10946 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10947 [Steve Henson]
10948
10949 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10950 [Ulf Möller]
10951
10952 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10953 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10954 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10955 the comments.
10956 [Ulf Möller]
10957
10958 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10959 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10960 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10961 [Bodo Moeller]
10962
10963 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10964 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10965 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10966 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10967
10968 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10969 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10970 [Steve Henson]
10971
10972 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10973 [Ulf Möller]
10974
10975 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10976 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10977 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10978 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10979 [Ulf Möller]
10980
10981 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10982 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10983 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10984 [Ulf Möller]
10985
10986 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10987 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10988 (instead of parameters) in future.
10989 [Steve Henson]
10990
10991 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10992 when a new cipher list is set.
10993 [Steve Henson]
10994
10995 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10996 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10997 wrong.
10998
10999 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11000 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11001 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11002
11003 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11004 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11005 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11006 an error is flagged.
11007
11008 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11009 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11010 the readability was also increased :-)
11011 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11012
11013 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11014 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11015 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11016 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11017 as the root CA.
11018 [Steve Henson]
11019
11020 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11021 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11022 [Steve Henson]
11023
11024 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11025 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11026 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11027 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11028 instead.
11029
11030 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11031 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11032 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11033 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11034 because they handle more complex structures.)
11035 [Steve Henson]
11036
11037 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11038 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11039 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11040 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11041
11042 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11043 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11044 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11045 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11046 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11047 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11048 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11049 [Ulf Möller]
11050
11051 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11052 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11053 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11054 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11055 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11056 [Bodo Moeller]
11057
11058 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11059 [Bodo Moeller]
11060
11061 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11062 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11063 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11064 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11065 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11066 to use this.
11067
11068 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11069 code.
11070 [Steve Henson]
11071
11072 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11073 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11074 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11075 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11076 [Steve Henson]
11077
11078 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11079 [Ulf Möller]
11080
11081 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11082 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11083 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11084 international characters are used.
11085
11086 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11087 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11088 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11089 in ASN1 order.
11090 [Steve Henson]
11091
11092 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11093 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11094 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11095 request.
11096
11097 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11098 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11099 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11100 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11101 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11102 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11103
11104 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11105 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11106 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11107 be handled by the string table functions.
11108
11109 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11110 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11111 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11112 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11113 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11114 types at all.
11115 [Steve Henson]
11116
11117 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11118 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11119 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11120 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11121 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11122
11123 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11124 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11125 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11126 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11127 [Bodo Moeller]
11128
11129 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11130 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11131 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11132 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11133 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11134 SHA1.
11135 [Andy Polyakov]
11136
11137 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11138 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11139 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11140 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11141 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11142 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11143 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11144 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11145
11146 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11147 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11148 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11149 [Steve Henson]
11150
11151 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11152 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11153 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11154 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11155 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11156 support to pkcs8 application.
11157 [Steve Henson]
11158
11159 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11160 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11161 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11162 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11163 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11164 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11165 [Bodo Moeller]
11166
11167 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11168 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11169 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11170 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11171 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11172 consistency.
11173 [Bodo Moeller]
11174
11175 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11176 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11177 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11178 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11179 example.
11180 [Steve Henson]
11181
11182 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11183 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11184 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11185 and any application specific purposes.
11186
11187 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11188 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11189 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11190 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11191 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11192 if the certificate is self signed.
11193 [Steve Henson]
11194
11195 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11196 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11197 [Steve Henson]
11198
11199 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11200 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11201 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11202 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11203 [Steve Henson]
11204
11205 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11206 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11207 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11208 Update documentation.
11209 [Steve Henson]
11210
11211 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11212 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11213 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11214 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11215 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11216 [Steve Henson]
11217
11218 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11219 for details.
11220 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11221
11222 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11223 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11224 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11225 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11226 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11227 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11228 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11229 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11230 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11231 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11232
11233 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11234
11235 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11236 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11237 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11238 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11239 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11240
11241 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11242 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11243 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11244 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11245 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11246 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11247 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11248 request additional information:
11249 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11250 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11251
11252 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11253 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11254 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11255 options.
11256
11257 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11258 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11259
11260 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11261 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11262 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11263
11264 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11265 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11266
11267 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11268 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11269 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11270 algorithm.
11271 [Steve Henson]
11272
11273 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11274 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11275 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11276
11277 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11278 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11279 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11280 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11281 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11282 included in OpenSSL.
11283 [Steve Henson]
11284
11285 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11286 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11287 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11288 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11289 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11290 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11291 [Bodo Moeller]
11292
11293 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11294 PKCS12 structure.
11295 [Steve Henson]
11296
11297 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11298 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11299 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11300 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11301 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11302 structure.
11303 [Steve Henson]
11304
11305 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11306 need initialising.
11307 [Steve Henson]
11308
11309 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11310 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11311 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11312 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11313 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11314 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11315 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11316 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11317 be maintained manually.
11318
11319 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11320 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11321 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11322 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11323 work because people forget to call this function]
11324 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11325 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11326 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11327 [Steve Henson]
11328
11329 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11330 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11331 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11332 should be discouraged from doing it.
11333 [Ben Laurie]
11334
11335 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11336 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11337 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11338 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11339 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11340 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11341 [Steve Henson]
11342
11343 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11344 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11345 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11346
11347 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11348 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11349 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11350
11351 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11352 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11353 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11354 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11355 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11356 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11357
11358 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11359 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11360 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11361
11362 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11363 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11364 and vice versa.
11365
11366 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11367 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11368 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11369 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11370 [Steve Henson]
11371
11372 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11373 [Steve Henson]
11374
11375 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11376 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11377 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11378 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11379 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11380 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11381 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11382 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11383 keys so we should be OK.
11384
11385 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11386 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11387 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11388 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11389 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11390 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11391 stay in the name of compatibility.
11392
11393 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11394 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11395 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11396
11397 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11398 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11399 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11400 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11401 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11402 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11403 supplied key).
11404 [Steve Henson]
11405
11406 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11407 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11408 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11409 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11410 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11411 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11412 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11413 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11414 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11415 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11416 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11417 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11418 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11419 [Steve Henson]
11420
11421 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11422 [Steve Henson]
11423
11424 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11425 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11426 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11427 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11428 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11429 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11430 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11431 openssl verify ss.pem
11432 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11433 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11434 is OK.
11435 [Steve Henson]
11436
11437 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11438 (and add it to external session representation).
11439 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11440 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11441 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11442 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11443 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11444 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11445 security holes.
11446 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11447
11448 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11449 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11450 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11451 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11452
11453 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11454 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11455 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11456 [Steve Henson]
11457
11458 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11459 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11460 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11461 code.
11462 [Steve Henson]
11463
11464 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11465 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11466 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11467
11468 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11469 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11470 certificate auxiliary information.
11471 [Steve Henson]
11472
11473 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11474 the 'enc' command.
11475 [Steve Henson]
11476
11477 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11478 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11479 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11480 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11481 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11482 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11483 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11484 [Richard Levitte]
11485
11486 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11487 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11488 [Steve Henson]
11489
11490 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11491 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11492 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11493 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11494 [Steve Henson]
11495
11496 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11497 [Steve Henson]
11498
11499 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11500 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11501 [Steve Henson]
11502
11503 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11504 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11505 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11506 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11507 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11508 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11509 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11510 using the new 'x509' options.
11511
11512 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11513 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11514 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11515 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11516 for all purposes.
11517 [Steve Henson]
11518
11519 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11520 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11521 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11522 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11523 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11524 [Mark Cox]
11525
11526 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11527 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11528 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11529 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11530 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11531 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11532 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11533 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11534 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11535 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11536 [Steve Henson]
11537
11538 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11539 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11540 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11541 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11542 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11543 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11544 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11545 [Steve Henson]
11546
11547 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11548 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11549 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11550 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11551 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11552 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11553 openssl.cnf for more info.
11554 [Steve Henson]
11555
11556 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11557 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11558 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11559 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11560 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11561 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11562 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11563 md should be large enough anyway.
11564 [Bodo Moeller]
11565
11566 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11567 for handling the random seed file.
11568
11569 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11570 ca,
11571 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11572 s_client,
11573 s_server,
11574 x509 (when signing).
11575 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11576 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11577 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11578
11579 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11580 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11581 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11582 that support '-rand'.
11583 [Bodo Moeller]
11584
11585 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11586 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11587 [Bodo Moeller]
11588
11589 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11590 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11591 [Bill Perry]
11592
11593 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11594 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11595 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11596 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11597 is suitable.
11598 [Steve Henson]
11599
11600 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11601 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11602 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11603 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11604 [Steve Henson]
11605
11606 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11607 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11608 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11609 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11610 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11611 print out all the purposes.
11612 [Steve Henson]
11613
11614 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11615 functions.
11616 [Steve Henson]
11617
11618 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11619 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11620 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11621 single function call.
11622 [Steve Henson]
11623
11624 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11625 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11626 [Andy Polyakov]
11627
11628 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11629 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11630 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11631 [Steve Henson]
11632
11633 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11634 when producing the local key id.
11635 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11636
11637 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11638 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11639 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11640 "server.pem".
11641 [Steve Henson]
11642
11643 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11644 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11645 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11646 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11647 [Steve Henson]
11648
11649 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11650 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11651 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11652 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11653
11654 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11655 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11656 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11657 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11658
11659 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11660 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11661 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11662 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11663 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11664 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11665 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11666 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11667 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11668 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11669 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11670 trivial: move one line.
11671 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11672
11673 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11674 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11675 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11676 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11677 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11678 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11679 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11680 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11681 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11682 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11683 with an event loop for example.
11684 [Steve Henson]
11685
11686 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11687 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11688 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11689 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11690 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11691 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11692 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11693 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11694 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11695 [Steve Henson]
11696
11697 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11698 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11699 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11700 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11701 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11702 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11703 [Steve Henson]
11704
11705 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11706 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11707 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11708 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11709
11710 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11711 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11712 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11713 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11714 key generation.
11715 [Steve Henson]
11716
11717 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11718 (still largely untested)
11719 [Bodo Moeller]
11720
11721 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11722 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11723 [Steve Henson]
11724
11725 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11726 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11727 [Steve Henson]
11728
11729 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11730 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11731 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11732 [Bodo Moeller]
11733
11734 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11735 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11736 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11737 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11738 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11739 [Steve Henson]
11740
11741 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11742 [Andy Polyakov]
11743
11744 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11745 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11746 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11747 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11748 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11749 in ca.
11750 [Steve Henson]
11751
11752 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11753 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11754 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11755 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11756 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11757 [Steve Henson]
11758
11759 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11760 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11761 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11762 are otherwise ignored at present.
11763 [Steve Henson]
11764
11765 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11766 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11767 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11768 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11769 copied until the next read.
11770 [Steve Henson]
11771
11772 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11773 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11774 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11775 [Steve Henson]
11776
11777 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11778 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11779 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11780 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11781 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11782 associated functions.
11783 [Steve Henson]
11784
11785 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11786 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11787 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11788 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11789 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11790 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11791 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11792 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11793 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11794 memory BIOs.
11795 [Steve Henson]
11796
11797 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11798 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11799 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11800 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11801 [Bodo Moeller]
11802
11803 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11804 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11805 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11806 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11807 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11808 functionality.
11809 [Steve Henson]
11810
11811 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11812 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11813 under Win32.
11814 [Steve Henson]
11815
11816 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11817 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11818 extensions to be obtained and added.
11819 [Steve Henson]
11820
11821 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11822 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11823 [Bodo Moeller]
11824
11825 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11826
11827 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11829
11830 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11831 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11832
11833 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11834 program.
11835 [Steve Henson]
11836
11837 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11838 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11839 DH parameters contain its length).
11840
11841 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11842 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11843 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11844 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11845 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11846 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11847 utter importance to use
11848 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11849 or
11850 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11851 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11852 attacks may become possible!
11853 [Bodo Moeller]
11854
11855 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11856 [Bodo Moeller]
11857
11858 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11859 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11860 [Steve Henson]
11861
11862 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11863 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11864 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11865 or long name.
11866 [Steve Henson]
11867
11868 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11869 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11870 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11871 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11872 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11873 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11874 private key operations.
11875 [Steve Henson]
11876
11877 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11878 [Andy Polyakov]
11879
11880 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11881 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11882 to
11883 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11884 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11885 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11886 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11887 the password callback is called.
11888 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11889
11890 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11891
11892 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11893 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11894 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11895 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11896 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11897 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11898 this will work.
11899
11900 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11901 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11902 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11903 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11904 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11905 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11906 [Bodo Moeller]
11907
11908 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11909 [Andy Polyakov]
11910
11911 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11912 delete an unused file.
11913 [Ulf Möller]
11914
11915 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11916 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11917 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11918 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11919 [Steve Henson]
11920
11921 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11922 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11923 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11924 of an error.
11925 [Bodo Moeller]
11926
11927 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11928 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11929 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11930
11931 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11932 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11933 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11934 comparison" warnings.
11935 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11936 [Steve Henson]
11937
11938 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11939 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11940 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11941 [Steve Henson]
11942
11943 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11944 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11945
11946 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11947 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11948
11949 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11950 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11951 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11952
11953 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11954 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11955 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11956 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11957 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11958 this bug.
11959 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11960
11961 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11962 The interface is as follows:
11963 Applications can use
11964 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11965 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11966 "off" is now the default.
11967 The library internally uses
11968 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11969 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11970 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11971
11972 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11973 even the default) are now avoided.
11974
11975 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11976 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11977 than just having a counter.
11978
11979 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11980
11981 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11982 extensions.
11983 [Bodo Moeller]
11984
11985 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11986 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11987 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11988 Initial "mode" flags are:
11989
11990 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11991 a single record has been written.
11992 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11993 retries use the same buffer location.
11994 (But all of the contents must be
11995 copied!)
11996 [Bodo Moeller]
11997
11998 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11999 worked.
12000
12001 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12002 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12003
12004 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12005 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12006 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12007 [Steve Henson]
12008
12009 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12010 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12011 test programs.
12012 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12013
12014 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12015 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12016 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12017 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12018 point to the end.
12019 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12020 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12021
12022 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12023 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12024 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12025 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12026 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12027 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12028 [Steve Henson]
12029
12030 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12031 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12032 necessary function names.
12033 [Steve Henson]
12034
12035 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12036 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12037 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12038 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12039 [Bodo Moeller]
12040
12041 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12042 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12043 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12044 [Steve Henson]
12045
12046 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12047 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12048 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12049 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12050 such programs?)
12051 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12052 need locks.
12053 [Bodo Moeller]
12054
12055 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12056 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12057 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12058 [Bodo Moeller]
12059
12060 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12061 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12062 appropriate.
12063 [Bodo Moeller]
12064
12065 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12066 for the encoded length.
12067 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12068
12069 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12070 [Steve Henson]
12071
12072 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12073 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12074 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12075 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12076 [Steve Henson]
12077
12078 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12079 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12080 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12081
12082 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12083 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12084 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12085 unusual formatting.
12086 [Steve Henson]
12087
12088 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12089 to use the new extension code.
12090 [Steve Henson]
12091
12092 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12093 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12094 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12095 constant.
12096 [Steve Henson]
12097
12098 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12099 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12100 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12101 [Bodo Moeller]
12102
12103 #if 0
12104 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12105 [Ben Laurie]
12106 #else
12107 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12108 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12109 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12110 #endif
12111
12112 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12113 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12114 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12115 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12116 [Ben Laurie]
12117
12118 *) DES library cleanups.
12119 [Ulf Möller]
12120
12121 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12122 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12123 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12124 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12125 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12126 of v2.0.
12127 [Steve Henson]
12128
12129 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12130 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12131 [Bodo Moeller]
12132
12133 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12134 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12135 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12136 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12137 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12138 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12139 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12140 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12141 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12142 [Steve Henson]
12143
12144 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12145 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12146 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12147 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12148 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12149 value doesn't matter.
12150 [Steve Henson]
12151
12152 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12153 support mutable.
12154 [Ben Laurie]
12155
12156 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12157 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12158 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12159 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12160
12161 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12162 [Ulf Möller]
12163
12164 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12165 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12166 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12167
12168 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12169 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12170
12171 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12172 [Ben Laurie]
12173
12174 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12175 [Ben Laurie]
12176
12177 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12178 [Ben Laurie]
12179
12180 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12181 [Bodo Moeller]
12182
12183
12184 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12185
12186 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12187
12188 *) Updated some demos.
12189 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12190
12191 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12192 [Wu Zhigang]
12193
12194 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12195 [Steve Henson]
12196
12197 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12198 [Steve Henson]
12199
12200 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12201 instead of using a fixed path.
12202 [Bodo Moeller]
12203
12204 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12205 [Andy Polyakov]
12206
12207 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12208 [Richard Levitte]
12209
12210
12211 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12212
12213 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12214 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12215 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12216
12217 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12218 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12219 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12220 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12221 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12222 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12223 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12224 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12225 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12226 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12227 [Steve Henson]
12228
12229 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12230 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12231 [Steve Henson]
12232
12233 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12234 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12235 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12236 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12237 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12238
12239 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12240 [Bodo Moeller]
12241
12242 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12243 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12244 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12245 [Steve Henson]
12246
12247 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12248 [Ben Laurie]
12249
12250 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12251 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12252 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12253 key elements as negative integers.
12254 [Steve Henson]
12255
12256 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12257 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12258
12259 *) VMS support.
12260 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12261
12262 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12263 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12264 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12265 [Steve Henson]
12266
12267 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12268 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12269 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12270 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12271 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12272 [Bodo Moeller]
12273
12274 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12275 [Ulf Möller]
12276
12277 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12278 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12279 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12280 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12281
12282 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12283 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12284 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12285
12286 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12287 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12288 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12289 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12290 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12291 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12292 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12293 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12294 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12295
12296 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12297 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12298 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12299 does not influence s as it used to.
12300
12301 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12302 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12303 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12304 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12305 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12306 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12307 [Bodo Moeller]
12308
12309 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12310 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12311 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12312 key type.
12313 [Steve Henson]
12314
12315 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12316 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12317 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12318 and 'x509').
12319 [Steve Henson]
12320
12321 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12322 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12323 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12324 extension option.
12325 [Steve Henson]
12326
12327 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12328 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12329 [Ben Laurie]
12330
12331 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12332 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12333
12334 *) Support Mingw32.
12335 [Ulf Möller]
12336
12337 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12338 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12339
12340 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12341 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12342
12343 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12344 [Ulf Möller]
12345
12346 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12347 [Anonymous]
12348
12349 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12350 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12351
12352 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12353 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12354 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12355 DER-encoded.)
12356 [Bodo Moeller]
12357
12358 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12359 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12360 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12361 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12362 now it really counts the depth.
12363 [Bodo Moeller]
12364
12365 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12366 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12367 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12368 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12369 didn't match the private key).
12370
12371 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12372 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12373 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12374 [Bodo Moeller]
12375
12376 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12377 [Ulf Möller]
12378
12379 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12380 David Harris.
12381 [Bodo Moeller]
12382
12383 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12384 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12385 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12386 [Bodo Moeller]
12387
12388 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12389 [Bodo Moeller]
12390
12391 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12392 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12393 such as /usr/local/bin.
12394 [Bodo Moeller]
12395
12396 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12397 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12398
12399 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12400 [Ulf Möller]
12401
12402 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12403 extension adding in x509 utility.
12404 [Steve Henson]
12405
12406 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12407 [Ulf Möller]
12408
12409 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12410 prototypes.
12411 [Steve Henson]
12412
12413 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12414 [Ulf Möller]
12415
12416 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12417 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12418 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12419 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12420 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12421 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12422 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12423 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12424 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12425 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12426 [Steve Henson]
12427
12428 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12429 [Bodo Moeller]
12430
12431 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12432 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12433 [Bodo Moeller]
12434
12435 *) Fix some race conditions.
12436 [Bodo Moeller]
12437
12438 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12439 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12440 [Steve Henson]
12441
12442 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12443 [Ulf Möller]
12444
12445 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12446 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12447 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12448 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12449
12450 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12451 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12452
12453 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12454 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12455 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12456
12457 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12458 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12459
12460 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12461 [Ulf Möller]
12462
12463 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12464 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12465
12466 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12467 [Ulf Möller]
12468
12469 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12470 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12471
12472 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12473 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12474 [Steve Henson]
12475
12476 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12477 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12478 [Ben Laurie]
12479
12480 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12481 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12482 [Steve Henson]
12483
12484 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12485 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12486 [Steve Henson]
12487
12488 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12489 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12490 [Steve Henson]
12491
12492 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12493 support typesafe stack.
12494 [Steve Henson]
12495
12496 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12497 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12498
12499 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12500 old X509V3 handling code.
12501 [Steve Henson]
12502
12503 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12504 [Ulf Möller]
12505
12506 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12507 [Bodo Moeller]
12508
12509 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12510 [Ben Laurie]
12511
12512 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12513 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12514
12515 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12516 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12517 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12518 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12519 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12520 [Ben Laurie]
12521
12522 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12523 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12524 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12525 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12526 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12527
12528 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12529 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12530 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12531 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12532
12533 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12534 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12535 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12536 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12537
12538 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12539 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12540 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12541 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12542 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12543 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12544 [Bodo Moeller]
12545
12546 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12547 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12548 [Bodo Moeller]
12549
12550 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12551 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12552 [Ulf Möller]
12553
12554 *) Tweaks to Configure
12555 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12556
12557 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12558 yet...
12559 [Steve Henson]
12560
12561 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12562 [Ulf Möller]
12563
12564 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12565 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12566 [Ulf Möller]
12567
12568 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12569 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12570 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12571 [Bodo Moeller]
12572
12573 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12574 [Bodo Moeller]
12575
12576 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12577 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12578 [Steve Henson]
12579
12580 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12581 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12582 to library startup routines.
12583 [Steve Henson]
12584
12585 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12586 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12587 codes along the way.
12588 [Steve Henson]
12589
12590 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12591 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12592 objects to objects.h
12593 [Steve Henson]
12594
12595 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12596 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12597 [Steve Henson]
12598
12599 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12600 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12601
12602 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12603 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12604 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12605
12606 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12607 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12608 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12609
12610 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12611 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12612 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12613
12614
12615 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12616
12617 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12618 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12619 [Ben Laurie]
12620
12621 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12622 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12623 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12624 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12625 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12626
12627 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12628 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12629 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12630 document.
12631 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12632
12633 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12634 Malloc, Free.
12635 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12636
12637 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12638 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12639
12640 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12641 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12642 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12643 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12644
12645 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12646 [Ben Laurie]
12647
12648 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12649 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12650 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12651 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12652 [Steve Henson]
12653
12654 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12655 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12656 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12657 [Steve Henson]
12658
12659 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12660 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12661 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12662 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12663 installed as `perl').
12664 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12665
12666 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12667 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12668
12669 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12670 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12671 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12672 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12673 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12674 [Steve Henson]
12675
12676 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12677 [Ben Laurie]
12678
12679 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12680 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12681 is horrible: I feel ill....
12682 [Steve Henson]
12683
12684 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12685 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12686 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12687 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12688 [Steve Henson]
12689
12690 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12691 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12692
12693 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12694 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12695 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12696 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12697
12698 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12699 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12700 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12701 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12702 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12703 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12704 openssl_bio.xs.
12705 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12706
12707 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12708 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12709
12710 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12711 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12712
12713 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12714 [Ben Laurie]
12715
12716 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12717 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12718 in CRLs.
12719 [Steve Henson]
12720
12721 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12722 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12723 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12724 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12725 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12726 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12727 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12728 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12729 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12730 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12731 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12732
12733 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12734 [Ben Laurie]
12735
12736 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12737 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12738 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12739 for linking it into DSOs.
12740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12741
12742 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12743 Fixed.
12744 [Ben Laurie]
12745
12746 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12747 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12748 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12749 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12750 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12751 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12752
12753 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12754 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12755 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12756 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12757 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12758 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12759 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12760
12761 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12762 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12763 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12764 encryption.
12765 [Ben Laurie]
12766
12767 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12768 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12769 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12770 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12771 [Steve Henson]
12772
12773 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12774 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12775 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12776 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12777 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12778 field as blank.
12779 [Steve Henson]
12780
12781 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12782 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12783 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12784 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12785 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12786
12787 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12788 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12789 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12790
12791 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12792 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12793
12794 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12795 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12796 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12797 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12798 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12799 [Steve Henson]
12800
12801 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12802 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12803 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12804 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12805 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12806 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12807 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12808 [Ben Laurie]
12809
12810 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12811 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12812 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12813 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12814 [Ben Laurie]
12815
12816 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12817 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12818
12819 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12820 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12821 [Steve Henson]
12822
12823 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12824 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12825 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12826 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12827 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12828 (e.g. s_server).
12829 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12830 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12831 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12832 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12833 no way to reconfigure them.
12834 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12835 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12836 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12837 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12838 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12839 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12840
12841 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12842 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12843 recognized by the users.
12844 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12845
12846 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12847 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12848 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12849 already masked variable.
12850 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12851
12852 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12853 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12854
12855 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12856 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12857 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12858 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12859
12860 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12861 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12862 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12863
12864 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12865 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12866 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12867 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12868 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12869 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12870 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12871 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12872 now, too.
12873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12874
12875 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12876 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12877 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12878
12879 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12880 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12881 config file.
12882 [Steve Henson]
12883
12884 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12885 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12886
12887 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12888 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12889 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12890 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12891 [Ben Laurie]
12892
12893 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12894 [Steve Henson]
12895
12896 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12897 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12898
12899 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12900 [Ben Laurie]
12901
12902 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12903 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12904 [Steve Henson]
12905
12906 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12907 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12908 [Steve Henson]
12909
12910 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12911 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12912 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12913 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12914 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12915 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12916 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12917 Ben Laurie]
12918
12919 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12920 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12921
12922 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12923 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12924 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12925 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12926 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12927
12928 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12929 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12930 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12931 [Steve Henson]
12932
12933 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12934 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12935 an example.
12936 [Steve Henson]
12937
12938 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12939 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12940 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12941
12942 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12943 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12944 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12945 build instructions.
12946 [Steve Henson]
12947
12948 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12949 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12950 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12951 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12952 [Steve Henson]
12953
12954 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12955 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12956 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12957 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12958 [Ben Laurie]
12959
12960 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12961 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12962 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12963 so it wasn't spotted.
12964 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12965
12966 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12967 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12968 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12969 vectors if you have them.
12970 [Ben Laurie]
12971
12972 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12973 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12974 [Ben Laurie]
12975
12976 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12977 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12978 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12979 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12980 If you do a:
12981 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12982 it will update them.
12983 [Steve Henson]
12984
12985 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12986 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12987 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12988 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12989 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12990 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12991 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12992 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12993
12994 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12995 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12996 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12997 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12998 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12999 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13000 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13001 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13002 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13003 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13004
13005 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13006 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13007 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13008 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13009 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13010 [Steve Henson]
13011
13012 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13013 INTEGER code.
13014 [Steve Henson]
13015
13016 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13017 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13018
13019 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13020 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13021
13022 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13023 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13024 [Ben Laurie]
13025
13026 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13027 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13028
13029 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13030 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13031
13032 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13033 [Steve Henson]
13034
13035 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13036 few typos.
13037 [Steve Henson]
13038
13039 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13040 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13041 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13042 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13043
13044 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13045 [Steve Henson]
13046
13047 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13048 [Steve Henson]
13049
13050 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13051 [Steve Henson]
13052
13053 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13054 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13055 [Steve Henson]
13056
13057 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13058 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13059 CA extensions.
13060 [Steve Henson]
13061
13062 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13063 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13064 [Steve Henson]
13065
13066 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13067 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13068 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13069 [Steve Henson]
13070
13071 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13072 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13073 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13074 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13075 properly to be processed.
13076 [Steve Henson]
13077
13078 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13079 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13080 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13081 [Ben Laurie]
13082
13083 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13084 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13085
13086 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13087 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13088 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13089 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13090 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13091 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13092 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13093 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13094 or delete all the .err files.
13095 [Steve Henson]
13096
13097 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13098 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13099 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13100 to regenerate it if needed.
13101 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13102 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13103
13104 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13105 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13106
13107 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13108 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13109 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13110 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13111 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13112 [Steve Henson]
13113
13114 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13115 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13116
13117 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13118 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13119
13120 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13121 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13122 error, but didn't set one).
13123 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13124
13125 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13126 [Ben Laurie]
13127
13128 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13129 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13130 [Steve Henson]
13131
13132 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13133 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13134
13135 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13136 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13137 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13138 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13139 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13140 OID is not part of the table.
13141 [Steve Henson]
13142
13143 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13144 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13145 [Ben Laurie]
13146
13147 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13148 [Ben Laurie]
13149
13150 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13151 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13152 was "1234").
13153 [Steve Henson]
13154
13155 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13156 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13157
13158 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13159 NULL pointers.
13160 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13161
13162 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13163 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13164
13165 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13166 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13167
13168 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13169 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13170
13171 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13172 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13173 [Ben Laurie]
13174
13175 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13176 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13177 [Steve Henson]
13178
13179 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13180 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13181
13182 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13183 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13184
13185 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13186 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13187
13188 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13189 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13190
13191 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13192 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13193 unused in the certificate verification process.
13194 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13195
13196 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13197 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13198 [Steve Henson]
13199
13200 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13201 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13202 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13203
13204 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13205 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13206 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13207 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13208 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13209
13210 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13211 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13212 [Steve Henson]
13213
13214 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13215 [Steve Henson]
13216
13217 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13218 [Paul Sutton]
13219
13220 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13221 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13222
13223 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13224 [Ben Laurie]
13225
13226 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13227 [Ben Laurie]
13228
13229 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13230 [Ben Laurie]
13231
13232 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13233 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13234 other error libraries.
13235 [Steve Henson]
13236
13237 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13238 [Steve Henson]
13239
13240 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13241 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13242 be read in.
13243 [Steve Henson]
13244
13245 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13246 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13247 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13248 the new set of documentation files.
13249 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13250
13251 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13252 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13253 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13254 number of arguments.
13255 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13256
13257 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13258 [Ben Laurie]
13259
13260 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13261 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13262 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13263
13264 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13265 [Ben Laurie]
13266
13267 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13268 nextstep
13269 ncr-scde
13270 unixware-2.0
13271 unixware-2.0-pentium
13272 sco5-cc.
13273 [Ben Laurie]
13274
13275 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13276 before they are needed.
13277 [Ben Laurie]
13278
13279 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13280 [Ben Laurie]
13281
13282
13283 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13284
13285 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13286 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13287 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13288
13289 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13290 [Paul Sutton]
13291
13292 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13293 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13294 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13295
13296 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13297 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13298 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
