4
5 Changes between 0.9.8ze and 0.9.8zf [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *)
8
9 Changes between 0.9.8zd and 0.9.8ze [15 Jan 2015]
10
11 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
12 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
13
14 Changes between 0.9.8zc and 0.9.8zd [8 Jan 2015]
15
16 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
17 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
18 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
19 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
20 (CVE-2014-3571)
21 [Steve Henson]
22
23 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
24 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
25 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
26 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
27 (CVE-2014-3569)
28 [Kurt Roeckx]
29
30 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
31 ECDH ciphersuites.
32
33 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
34 reporting this issue.
35 (CVE-2014-3572)
36 [Steve Henson]
37
38 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
39 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
40 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
41 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
42 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
43 INRIA or reporting this issue.
44 (CVE-2015-0204)
45 [Steve Henson]
46
47 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
48
49 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
50 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
51 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
52 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
53 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
54
55 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
56
57 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
58 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
59
60 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
61
62 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
63 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
64 errors for some broken certificates.
65
66 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
67
68 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
69
70 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
71 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
72
73 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
74 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
75 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
76 (negative or with leading zeroes).
77
78 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
79 of the OpenSSL core team.
80
81 (CVE-2014-8275)
82 [Steve Henson]
83
84 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
85 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
86 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
87 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
88 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
89 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
90 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
91 the OpenSSL core team.
92 (CVE-2014-3570)
93 [Andy Polyakov]
94
95 Changes between 0.9.8zb and 0.9.8zc [15 Oct 2014]
96
97 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
98
99 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
100 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
101 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
102 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
103 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
104 attack.
105 (CVE-2014-3567)
106 [Steve Henson]
107
108 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
109
110 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
111 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
112 configured to send them.
113 (CVE-2014-3568)
114 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
115
116 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
117 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
118 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
119 (CVE-2014-3566)
120 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
121
122 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
123
124 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
125 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
126 DigestInfo structures.
127
128 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
129
130 [Steve Henson]
131
132 Changes between 0.9.8za and 0.9.8zb [6 Aug 2014]
133
134 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
135 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
136 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
137 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
138
139 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
140 issue.
141 (CVE-2014-3510)
142 [Emilia Käsper]
143
144 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
145 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
146 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
147 (CVE-2014-3507)
148 [Adam Langley]
149
150 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
151 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
152 Denial of Service attack.
153 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
154 (CVE-2014-3506)
155 [Adam Langley]
156
157 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
158 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
159 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
160 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
161 this issue.
162 (CVE-2014-3505)
163 [Adam Langley]
164
165 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
166 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
167 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
168 output to the attacker.
169
170 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
171 (CVE-2014-3508)
172 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
173
174 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
175 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
176 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
177 [Bodo Moeller]
178
179 Changes between 0.9.8y and 0.9.8za [5 Jun 2014]
180
181 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
182 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
183 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
184
185 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
186 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
187 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
188
189 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
190 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
191 in a DoS attack.
192
193 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
194 (CVE-2014-0221)
195 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
196
197 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
198 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
199 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
200 code on a vulnerable client or server.
201
202 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
203 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
204
205 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
206 are subject to a denial of service attack.
207
208 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
209 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
210 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
211
212 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
213 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
214 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
215 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
216
217 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
218 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
219 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
220
221 Thanks to mancha for backporting the fix to the 0.9.8 branch.
222
223 *) Fix handling of warning-level alerts in SSL23 client mode so they
224 don't cause client-side termination (eg. on SNI unrecognized_name
225 warnings). Add client and server support for six additional alerts
226 per RFC 6066 and RFC 4279.
227 [mancha]
228
229 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
230 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
231 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
232 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
233 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
234 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
235 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
236
237 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
238
239 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
240
241 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
242 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
243 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
244
245 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
246 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
247 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
248 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
249 (CVE-2013-0169)
250 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
251
252 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
253 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
254 [Steve Henson]
255
256 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
257 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
258 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
259 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
260 (This is a backport)
261 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
262
263 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
264 [Steve Henson]
265
266 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
267
268 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
269 to fix DoS attack.
270
271 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
272 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
273 (CVE-2012-2333)
274 [Steve Henson]
275
276 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
277 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
278 [Steve Henson]
279
280 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
281
282 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
283 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
284 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
285 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
286 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
287
288 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
289
290 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
291 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
292 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
293
294 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
295 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
296 (CVE-2012-2110)
297 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
298
299 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
300
301 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
302 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
303 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
304 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
305 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
306 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
307 an MMA defence is not necessary.
308 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
309 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
310 [Steve Henson]
311
312 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
313 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
314 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
315 [Steve Henson]
316
317 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
318
319 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
320 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
321 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
322 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
323 [Antonio Martin]
324
325 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
326
327 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
328 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
329 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
330 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
331 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
332 paper describing this attack can be found at:
333 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
334 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
335 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
336 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
337 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
338 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
339 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
340
341 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
342 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
343
344 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
345 (CVE-2011-4576)
346 [Adam Langley (Google)]
347
348 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
349 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
350 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
351 [Adam Langley (Google)]
352
353 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
354 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
355 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
356 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
357
358 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
359 [Adam Langley (Google)]
360
361 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
362 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
363
364 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
365 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
366 [Adam Langley (Google)]
367
368 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
369 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
370 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
371
372 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
373 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
374 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
375 the last update always remained unused).
376 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
377
378 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
379 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
380 [Adam Langley (Google)]
381
382 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
383 [Bodo Moeller]
384
385 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
386 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
387
388 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
389
390 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
391
392 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
393
394 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
395 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
396
397 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
398 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
399 ambiguous.
400 [Steve Henson]
401
402 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
403
404 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
405 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
406 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
407 [Steve Henson]
408
409 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
410 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
411 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
412 [Ben Laurie]
413
414 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
415
416 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
417 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
418 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
419 [Steve Henson]
420
421 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
422 [Steve Henson]
423
424 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
425 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
426 some broken encodings work correctly.
427 [Steve Henson]
428
429 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
430 is also one of the inputs.
431 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
432
433 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
434 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
435 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
436 etc are non-op.
437 [Steve Henson]
438
439 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
440
441 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
442 OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
443
444 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
445 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
446 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
447
448 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
449 common in certificates and some applications which only call
450 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
451 [Steve Henson]
452
453 *) VMS fixes:
454 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
455 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
456 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
457 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
458
459 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
460
461 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
462 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
463 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
464 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
465 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
466 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
467 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
468 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
469
470 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
471 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
472 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
473
474 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
475
476 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
477 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
478
479 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
480 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
481 [Bodo Moeller]
482
483 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
484 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
485 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
486 [Steve Henson]
487
488 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
489 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
490 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
491 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
492 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
493 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
494 [Steve Henson]
495
496 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
497 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
498 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
499 [Steve Henson]
500
501 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
502 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
503 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
504 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
505 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
506 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
507 CVE-2009-4355.
508 [Steve Henson]
509
510 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
511 change when encrypting or decrypting.
512 [Bodo Moeller]
513
514 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
515 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
516 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
517 [Steve Henson]
518
519 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
520 [Steve Henson]
521
522 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
523 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
524 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
525 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
526 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
527 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
528 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
529 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
530 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
531 [Steve Henson]
532
533 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
534 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
535 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
536 [Steve Henson]
537
538 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
539 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
540 [Steve Henson]
541
542 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
543 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
544 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
545 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
546 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
547 know what you are doing.
548 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
549
550 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
551 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
552 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
553 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
554 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
555 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
556 the handshake.
557 [Steve Henson]
558
559 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
560 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
561 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
562 correctly.
563 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
564
565 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
566 warnings in other configurations.
567 [Steve Henson]
568
569 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
570 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
571 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
572 systems need.
573 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
574
575 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
576 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
577 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
578
579 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
580 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
581 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
582 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
583 [Steve Henson]
584
585 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
586 and restored.
587 [Steve Henson]
588
589 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
590 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
591 clash.
592 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
593
594 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
595 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
596 other than a simple chain.
597 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
598
599 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
600 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
601 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
602 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
603 [Steve Henson]
604
605 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
606 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
607 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
608 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
609 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
610 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
611 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
612 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
613 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
614
615 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
616 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
617 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
618 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
619 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
620 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
621 (CVE-2009-1377)
622 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
623
624 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
625 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
626 [Daniel Mentz]
627
628 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
629 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
630
631 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
632 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
633
634 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
635
636 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
637 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
638 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
639 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
640 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
641 you're doing.
642 [Ben Laurie]
643
644 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
645
646 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
647 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
648 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
649 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
650
651 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
652 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
653 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
654 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
655
656 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
657 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
658 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
659 [Steve Henson]
660
661 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
662 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
663 level.
664 [Steve Henson]
665
666 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
667 to handle some structures.
668 [Steve Henson]
669
670 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
671 for a '\n'
672 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
673
674 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
675 [Matthieu Herrb]
676
677 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
678 [Steve Henson]
679
680 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
681 [Steve Henson]
682
683 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
684 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
685 chosen compiler.
686 [Ben Laurie]
687
688 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
689
690 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
691 (CVE-2008-5077).
692 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
693
694 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
695 [Ben Laurie]
696
697 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
698 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
699 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
700 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
701
702 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
703 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
704
705 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
706 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
707 [Bodo Moeller]
708
709 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
710 s_client and s_server.
711 [Ben Laurie]
712
713 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
714 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
715
716 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
717 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
718
719 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
720 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
721 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
722 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
723 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
724 [Bodo Moeller]
725
726 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
727
728 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
729 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
730 [PR #1679]
731
732 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
733 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
734 [Nagendra Modadugu]
735
736 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
737 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
738 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
739 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
740
741 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
742 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
743
744 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
745
746 *) Various precautionary measures:
747
748 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
749
750 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
751 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
752 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
753
754 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
755 outside the expected range.
756
757 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
758 builds.
759
760 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
761
762 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
763 the load fails. Useful for distros.
764 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
765
766 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
767 [Steve Henson]
768
769 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
770 [Huang Ying]
771
772 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
773
774 This work was sponsored by Logica.
775 [Steve Henson]
776
777 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
778 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
779 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
780
781 This work was sponsored by Logica.
782 [Steve Henson]
783
784 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
785 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
786 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
787 files.
788 [Steve Henson]
789
790 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
791
792 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
793 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
794 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
795 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
796
797 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
798 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
799 [Joe Orton]
800
801 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
802
803 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
804 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
805 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
806
807 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
808
809 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
810 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
811 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
812 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
813 [Lutz Jaenicke]
814
815 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
816 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
817 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
818 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
819 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
820 invalid read after the end of 'db').
821 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
822
823 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
824
825 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
826 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
827 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
828 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
829 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
830
831 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
832 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
833
834 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
835 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
836 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
837 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
838 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
839
840 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
841
842 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
843 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
844 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
845 sets may exist with different names.
846 [Steve Henson]
847
848 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
849 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
850 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
851 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
852 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
853 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
854 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
855 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
856 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
857 implementation.
858 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
859
860 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
861 implemention in the following ways:
862
863 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
864 hard coded.
865
866 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
867 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
868 ignored for embedded content.
869
870 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
871 with the enable-cms configuration option.
872 [Steve Henson]
873
874 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
875 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
876 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
877 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
878
879 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
880 uncompresses any data passed through it.
881 [Steve Henson]
882
883 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
884 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
885 [Steve Henson]
886
887 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
888 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
889 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
890 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
891 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
892 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
893 data.
894 [Steve Henson]
895
896 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
897 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
898 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
899
900 *) Netware support:
901
902 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
903 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
904 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
905 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
906 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
907 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
908 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
909 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
910 platform
911 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
912 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
913 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
914 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
915 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
916 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
917 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
918
919 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
920 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
921 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
922 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
923 to s_client and s_server.
924 [Steve Henson]
925
926 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
927
928 *) Fix various bugs:
929 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
930 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
931 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
932 + Fix ia64 assembler code
933 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
934
935 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
936
937 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
938 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
939 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
940 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
941 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
942 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
943 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
944 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
945 [Andy Polyakov]
946
947 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
948 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
949 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
950 Steve Henson]
951
952 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
953 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
954 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
955 supported.
956
957 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
958 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
959 SSL_SESSION.
960
961 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
962 protection in servers so again support should be possible
963 with no application modification.
964
965 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
966 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
967
968 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
969 or server extensions to be examined.
970
971 This work was sponsored by Google.
972 [Steve Henson]
973
974 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
975 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
976 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
977 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
978 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
979 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
980 server_name extension.
981
982 New functions (subject to change):
983
984 SSL_get_servername()
985 SSL_get_servername_type()
986 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
987
988 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
989
990 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
991 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
992 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
993 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
994 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
995
996 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
997
998 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
999 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1000 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1001 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1002 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1003 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1004 option.
1005
1006 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1007
1008 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1009 [Steve Henson]
1010
1011 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1012 [Andy Polyakov]
1013
1014 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1015 (which previously caused an internal error).
1016 [Bodo Moeller]
1017
1018 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1019 [Ben Laurie]
1020
1021 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1022 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1023
1024 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1025 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1026 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1027
1028 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1029 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1030 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1031 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1032
1033 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1034 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1035 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1036 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1037
1038 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1039 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1040 information. For detailed background information, see
1041 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1042 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1043 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1044 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1045 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1046 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1047 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1048 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1049 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1050 remove a conditional branch.
1051
1052 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1053 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1054 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1055 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1056 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1057 remains as a deprecated alias.
1058
1059 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1060 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1061 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1062 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1063
1064 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1065 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1066 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1067 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1068 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1069 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1070 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1071 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1072
1073 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1074
1075 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1076 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1077 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1078 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1079 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1080 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1081 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1082 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1083 in a different context.
1084 [Bodo Moeller]
1085
1086 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1087 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1088 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1089 [Bodo Moeller]
1090
1091 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1092 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1093 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1094
1095 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1096
1097 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1098 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1099 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1100 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1101 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1102 [Victor Duchovni]
1103
1104 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1105 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1106 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1107 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1108 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1109 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1110 [Bodo Moeller]
1111
1112 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1113 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1114 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1115 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1116 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1117 [Bodo Moeller]
1118
1119 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1120 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1121
1122 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1123 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1124 Improve header file function name parsing.
1125 [Steve Henson]
1126
1127 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1128 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1129 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1130
1131 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1132
1133 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1134 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1135 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1136
1137 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1138 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1139
1140 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1141 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1142
1143 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1144 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1145 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1146
1147 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1148 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1149 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1150 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1151 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1152 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1153 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1154 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1155 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1156
1157 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1158 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1159 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1160 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1161 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1162
1163 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1164 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1165 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1166 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1167 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1168 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1169 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1170 multiple values to extend the available space.
1171
1172 [Bodo Moeller]
1173
1174 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1175
1176 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1177 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1178
1179 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1180 [Ben Laurie]
1181
1182 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1183 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1184 undesirable limitations.
1185 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1186
1187 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1188 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1189 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1190 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1191 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1192 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1193 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1194 [Bodo Moeller]
1195
1196 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1197
1198 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1199 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1200 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1201
1202 The latter two were purportedly from
1203 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1204 appear there.
1205
1206 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1207 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1208 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1209 [Bodo Moeller]
1210
1211 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1212 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1213 [Bodo Moeller]
1214
1215 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1216 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1217 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1218 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1219
1220 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1221 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1222 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1223 [NTT]
1224
1225 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1226 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1227 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1228 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1229 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1230 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1231 [Steve Henson]
1232
1233 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1234
1235 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1236 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1237 [Steve Henson]
1238
1239 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1240 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1241
1242 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1243 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1244 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1245 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1246 [Douglas Stebila]
1247
1248 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1249 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1250 [Steve Henson]
1251
1252 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1253 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1254 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1255 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1256 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1257 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1258 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1259 can't be loaded.
1260 [Steve Henson]
1261
1262 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1263 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1264 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1265 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1266 [Steve Henson]
1267
1268 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1269 under VC++ build system.
1270 [Steve Henson]
1271
1272 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1273 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1274 [Richard Levitte]
1275
1276 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1277
1278 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1279 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1280 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1281 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1282 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1283
1284 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1285 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1286 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1287
1288 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1289 [Steve Henson]
1290
1291 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1292 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1293 [Nils Larsch]
1294
1295 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1296 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1297
1298 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1299 [Nick Mathewson]
1300
1301 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1302 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1303
1304 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1305 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1306 [Steve Henson]
1307
1308 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1309 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1310 smime utility.
1311 [Steve Henson]
1312
1313 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1314
1315 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1316 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1317
1318 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1319 [Richard Levitte]
1320
1321 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1322 key into the same file any more.
1323 [Richard Levitte]
1324
1325 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1326 [Andy Polyakov]
1327
1328 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1329 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1330
1331 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1332 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1333 [Richard Levitte]
1334
1335 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1336 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1337 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1338 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1339 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1340 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1341
1342 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1343 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1344 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1345 [Steve Henson]
1346
1347 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1348 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1349 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1350 - add new function for parameter creation
1351 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1352 BN_BLINDING parameters
1353 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1354 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1355 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1356 threads.
1357 [Nils Larsch]
1358
1359 *) Add support for DTLS.
1360 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1361
1362 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1363 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1364 [Walter Goulet]
1365
1366 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1367 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1368 [Nils Larsch]
1369
1370 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1371 the apps/openssl applications.
1372 [Nils Larsch]
1373
1374 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1375 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1376 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1377 [Ben Laurie]
1378
1379 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1380 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1381
1382 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1383 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1384
1385 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1386 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1387 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1388 avoid this algorithm.)
1389
1390 [Bodo Moeller]
1391
1392 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1393 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1394 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1395 [Richard Levitte]
1396
1397 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1398 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1399 [Andy Polyakov]
1400
1401 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1402 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1403 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1404 pod file:
1405
1406 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1407
1408 The blank line is mandatory.
1409
1410 [Steve Henson]
1411
1412 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1413 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1414 sources.
1415 [Steve Henson]
1416
1417 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1418 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1419
1420 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1421 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1422 to support policy checking and print out.
1423 [Steve Henson]
1424
1425 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1426 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1427 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1428 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1429
1430 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1431 [Geoff Thorpe]
1432
1433 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1434 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1435
1436 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1437 implementation contributed by IBM.
1438 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1439
1440 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1441 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1442 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1443 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1444
1445 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1446 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1447
1448 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1449 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1450 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1451 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1452 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1453 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1454 [Steve Henson]
1455
1456 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1457 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1458 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1459 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1460 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1461 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1462 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1463 [Geoff Thorpe]
1464
1465 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1466 [Steve Henson]
1467
1468 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1469 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1470 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1471 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1472 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1473 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1474 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1475 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1476 [Steve Henson]
1477
1478 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1479 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1480 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1481 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1482 [Steve Henson]
1483
1484 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1485 syntax:
1486
1487 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1488 [Steve Henson]
1489
1490 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1491 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1492 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1493 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1494 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1495 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1496 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1497 [Geoff Thorpe]
1498
1499 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1500 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1501 [Geoff Thorpe]
1502
1503 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1504 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1505 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1506 [Steve Henson]
1507
1508 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1509 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1510 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1511 below).
1512 [Geoff Thorpe]
1513
1514 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1515 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1516 [Richard Levitte]
1517
1518 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1519 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1520 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1521 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1522 [Geoff Thorpe]
1523
1524 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1525 initialised value as BN_new().
1526 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1527
1528 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1529 [Steve Henson]
1530
1531 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1532 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1533 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1534 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1535 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1536 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1537 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1538 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1539 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1540 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1541 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1542 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1543 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1544 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1545 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1546
1547 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1548 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1549 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1550 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1551 [Geoff Thorpe]
1552
1553 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1554 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1555 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1556 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1557 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1558 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1559 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1560 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1561 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1562 [Geoff Thorpe]
1563
1564 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1565 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1566 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1567 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1568 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1569 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1570 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1571 [Geoff Thorpe]
1572
1573 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1574 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1575 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1576 these have been updated also.
1577 [Geoff Thorpe]
1578
1579 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1580 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1581 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1582 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1583 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1584 functions.
1585 [Steve Henson]
1586
1587 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1588 structure of type "other".
1589 [Steve Henson]
1590
1591 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1592 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1593 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1594 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1595 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1596 situation in the script.
1597 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1598
1599 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1600 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1601 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1602 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1603 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1604 used as premaster secret.
1605 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1606
1607 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1608 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1609 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1610
1611 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1612 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1613
1614 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1615 control of the error stack.
1616 [Richard Levitte]
1617
1618 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1619 [Richard Levitte]
1620
1621 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1622 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1623 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1624 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1625 [Richard Levitte]
1626
1627 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1628 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1629 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1630 [Richard Levitte]
1631
1632 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1633 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1634 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1635 a memory area.
1636 [Richard Levitte]
1637
1638 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1639 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1640 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1641 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1642 [Richard Levitte]
1643
1644 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1645 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1646 the following flags are defined:
1647
1648 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1649 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1650 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1651 number.
1652
1653 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1654 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1655 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1656 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1657 returns zero.
1658 [Richard Levitte]
1659
1660 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1661 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1662 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1663 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1664 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1665 [Richard Levitte]
1666
1667 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1668 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1669 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1670 [Richard Levitte]
1671
1672 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1673 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1674 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1675 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1676 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1677 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1678 [Richard Levitte]
1679
1680 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1681 req and dirName.
1682 [Steve Henson]
1683
1684 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1685 [Steve Henson]
1686
1687 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1688 [Steve Henson]
1689
1690 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1691 [Steve Henson]
1692
1693 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1694 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1695 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1696 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1697 default implementation more easily.
1698 [Geoff Thorpe]
1699
1700 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1701 in config files.
1702 [Steve Henson]
1703
1704 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1705 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1706 [Richard Levitte]
1707
1708 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1709 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1710 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1711 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1712
1713 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1714 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1715 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1716 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1717 [Steve Henson]
1718
1719 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1720 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1721 to do it.
1722 [Richard Levitte]
1723
1724 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1725 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1726 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1727 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1728 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1729 scalar * generator).
1730 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1731
1732 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1733 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1734 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1735 correctly.
1736 [Steve Henson]
1737
1738 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1739 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1740 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1741 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1742 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1743 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1744 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1745 linker additions, eg;
1746 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1747 [Geoff Thorpe]
1748
1749 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1750 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1751 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1752 [Geoff Thorpe]
1753
1754 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1755 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1756 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1757 via PR#459)
1758 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1759
1760 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1761 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1762 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1763 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1764 [Geoff Thorpe]
1765
1766 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1767 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1768 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1769 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1770 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1771 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1772 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1773 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1774 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1775 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1776
1777 Example for using the new callback interface:
1778
1779 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1780 void *my_arg = ...;
1781 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1782
1783 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1784
1785 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1786 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1787 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1788 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1789 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1790 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1791 */
1792
1793 [Geoff Thorpe]
1794
1795 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1796 available to TLS with the number defined in
1797 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1798 [Richard Levitte]
1799
1800 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1801 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1802
1803 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1804 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1805 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1806 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1807
1808 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1809 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1810
1811 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1812 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1813 well.
1814 [Richard Levitte]
1815
1816 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1817 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1818 [Richard Levitte]
1819
1820 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1821 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1822 and a macro that behave like
1823 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1824
1825 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1826 [Nils Larsch]
1827
1828 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1829 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1830 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1831 if applicable.
1832 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1833
1834 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1835 [Bodo Moeller]
1836
1837 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1838 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1839 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1840 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1841 directory engines/.
1842 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1843 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1844 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1845 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1846 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1847 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1848 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1849 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1850
1851 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1852 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1853 [Richard Levitte]
1854
1855 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1856 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1857
1858 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1859 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1860 files while avoiding the low level API.
1861
1862 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1863 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1864 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1865 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1866
1867 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1868 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1869 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1870 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1871 instead of the low level API.
1872 [Steve Henson]
1873
1874 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1875 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1876 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1877 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1878 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1879 PKCS#7 code.
1880
1881 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1882 down to the template encoder.
1883 [Steve Henson]
1884
1885 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1886 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1887 [Bodo Moeller]
1888
1889 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1890 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1891 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1892 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1893
1894 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1895 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1896
1897 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1898 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1899
1900 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1901 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1902 [Bodo Moeller]
1903
1904 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1905 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1906 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1907 [Bodo Moeller]
1908
1909 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1910 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1911
1912 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1913 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1914
1915 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1916 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1917 New EC_METHOD:
1918
1919 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1920
1921 New API functions:
1922
1923 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1924 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1925 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1926 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1927 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1928 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1929
1930 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1931 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1932 enable it).
1933
1934 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1935 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1936 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1937 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1938 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1939 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1940 various internal method names.)
1941
1942 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1943 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1944
1945 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1946 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1947
1948 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1949 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1950
1951 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1952 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1953 methods are undefined.
1954
1955 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1956 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1957
1958 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1959 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1960 length of the modulus.
1961
1962 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1963 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1964
1965 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1966 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1967
1968 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1969 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1970
1971 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1972 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1973 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1974

1985
1986 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1987 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1988
1989 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1990 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1991 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1992 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1993 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1994 where
1995 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1996 This applies to the following functions:
1997
1998 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1999 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
2000 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr

2006 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2007 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2008
2009 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2010
2011 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2012 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2013
2014 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2015
2016 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2017 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2018 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2019 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2020 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2021
2022 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2023 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2024
2025 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2026 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2027 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2028
2029 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2030 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2031
2032 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2033 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2034 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2035 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2036 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2037
2038 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2039 functions
2040 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2041 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2042 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2043 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2044 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2045 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2046 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2047 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2048 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2049 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2050 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2051 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2052
2053 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2054 functions
2055 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
2056 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2057 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2058 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2059 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2060
2061 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2062 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2063 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2064 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2065
2066 *) Add functions
2067 EC_POINT_point2bn()
2068 EC_POINT_bn2point()
2069 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2070 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2071 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2072 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2073 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2074
2075 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2076 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2077 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2078 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2079 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2080 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2081 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2082 adding different types of curves.
2083 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2084
2085 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2086 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2087 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2088 [Bodo Moeller]
2089
2090 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2091 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2092
2093 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2094 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2095 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2096 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2097
2098 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2099
2100 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2101 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2102
2103 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2104 library. Most notably,
2105 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2106 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2107 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2108 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2109 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2110 extracted before the specific public key;
2111 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2112 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2113
2114 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2115 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2116 function
2117 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2118 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2119 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2120 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2121 accessed via
2122 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2123 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2124 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2125
2126 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2127 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2128 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2129 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2130 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2131 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2132 differing sizes.
2133 [Richard Levitte]
2134
2135 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2136
2137 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2138 sensitive data.
2139 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2140
2141 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2142 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2143 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2144 [Bodo Moeller]
2145
2146 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2147 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2148 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2149 [Victor Duchovni]
2150
2151 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2152 [Steve Henson]
2153
2154 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2155 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2156 [Steve Henson]
2157
2158 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2159 run algorithm test programs.
2160 [Steve Henson]
2161
2162 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2163 [Steve Henson]
2164
2165 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2166 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2167 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2168 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2169 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2170 [Bodo Moeller]
2171
2172 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2173 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2174 [Steve Henson]
2175
2176 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2177
2178 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2179 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2180 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2181
2182 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2183 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2184
2185 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2186 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2187
2188 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2189 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2190 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2191
2192 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2193 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2194 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2195 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2196 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2197 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2198 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2199 [Bodo Moeller]
2200
2201 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2202
2203 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2204 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2205
2206 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2207 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2208 undesirable limitations.
2209 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2210
2211 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2212
2213 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2214 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2215 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2216
2217 The latter two were purportedly from
2218 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2219 appear there.
2220
2221 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2222 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2223 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2224 [Bodo Moeller]
2225
2226 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2227 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2228 [Bodo Moeller]
2229
2230 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2231
2232 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2233 module in FIPS mode.
2234 [Steve Henson]
2235
2236 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2237 [Steve Henson]
2238
2239 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2240 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2241 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2242 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2243 [Steve Henson]
2244
2245 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2246
2247 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2248 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2249 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2250 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2251 the difference induced by this change.
2252 [Andy Polyakov]
2253
2254 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2255
2256 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2257 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2258 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2259 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2260 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2261
2262 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2263 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2264 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2265
2266 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2267 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2268 [Steve Henson]
2269
2270 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2271 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2272 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2273 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2274 biased k.)
2275 [Bodo Moeller]
2276
2277 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2278 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2279 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2280 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2281 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2282
2283 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2284 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2285 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2286 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2287 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2288 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2289
2290 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2291
2292 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2293 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2294 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2295 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2296 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2297 [Bodo Moeller]
2298
2299 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2300 clients need.
2301 [Steve Henson]
2302
2303 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2304 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2305 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2306 [Steve Henson]
2307
2308 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2309 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2310 structures constant.
2311 [Steve Henson]
2312
2313 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2314
2315 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2316 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2317
2318 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2319 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2320 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2321 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2322 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2323 some needed definitions.
2324 [Steve Henson]
2325
2326 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2327 [Ulf Möller]
2328
2329 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2330 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2331 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2332 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2333 [Richard Levitte]
2334
2335 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2336
2337 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2338 server and client random values. Previously
2339 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2340 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2341
2342 This change has negligible security impact because:
2343
2344 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2345 data.
2346
2347 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2348 handshake.
2349
2350 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2351 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2352 values.
2353
2354 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2355 to our attention.
2356
2357 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2358
2359 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2360 [Ulf Möller]
2361
2362 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2363 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2364 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2365
2366 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2367 [Steve Henson]
2368
2369 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2370 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2371 [Andy Polyakov]
2372
2373 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2374 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2375 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2376
2377 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2378 [Steve Henson]
2379
2380 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2381 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2382 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2383 certificates.
2384 [Steve Henson]
2385
2386 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2387 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2388 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2389 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2390
2391 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2392 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2393 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2394 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2395 been given)
2396 [Richard Levitte]
2397
2398 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2399
2400 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2401 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2402 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2403 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2404 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2405 [Steve Henson]
2406
2407 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2408 [Steve Henson]
2409
2410 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2411 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2412
2413 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2414 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2415 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2416 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2417 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2418 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2419 rather than being initialized to 1.
2420 [Steve Henson]
2421
2422 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2423
2424 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2425 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2426 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2427
2428 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2429 (CVE-2004-0112)
2430 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2431
2432 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2433 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2434 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2435 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2436 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2437 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2438 [Richard Levitte]
2439
2440 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2441 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2442 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2443 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2444 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2445 for these cases.
2446 [Steve Henson]
2447
2448 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2449 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2450 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2451 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2452 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2453 [Steve Henson]
2454
2455 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2456 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2457 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2458 < 0.9.7.
2459 [Steve Henson]
2460
2461 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2462 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2463
2464 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2465 [Steve Henson]
2466
2467 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2468
2469 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2470
2471 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2472 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2473
2474 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2475
2476 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2477 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2478
2479 [Steve Henson]
2480
2481 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2482 exiting on the first error in a request.
2483 [Steve Henson]
2484
2485 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2486 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2487 specifications.
2488 [Steve Henson]
2489
2490 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2491 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2492 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2493 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2494
2495 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2496 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2497 [Richard Levitte]
2498
2499 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2500 blocks during encryption.
2501 [Richard Levitte]
2502
2503 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2504 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2505 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2506 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2507 certain size.
2508 [Steve Henson]
2509
2510 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2511 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2512 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2513 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2514 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2515 parser.
2516 [Steve Henson]
2517
2518 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2519
2520 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2521 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2522 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2523 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2524 [Bodo Moeller]
2525
2526 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2527 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2528 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2529 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2530 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2531
2532 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2533 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2534 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2535 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2536 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2537 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2538 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2539 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2540 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2541 [Bodo Moeller]
2542
2543 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2544 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2545 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2546 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2547 [Geoff Thorpe]
2548
2549 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2550 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2551 [Ulf Moeller]
2552
2553 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2554
2555 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2556 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2557 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2558 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2559 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2560
2561 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2562 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2563 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2564
2565 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2566 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2567 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2568 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2569 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2570
2571 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2572 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2573 used by default when no-err is given.
2574 [Richard Levitte]
2575
2576 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2577 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2578
2579 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2580 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2581 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2582 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2583 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2584
2585 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2586 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2587 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2588 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2589
2590 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2591
2592 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2593
2594 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2595
2596 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2597 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2598 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2599 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2600 root is omitted).
2601 [Steve Henson]
2602
2603 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2604 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2605
2606 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2607 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2608 [Steve Henson]
2609
2610 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2611 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2612 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2613 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2614 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2615
2616 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2617 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2618 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2619 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2620 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2621 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2622 followup to PR #377.
2623 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2624
2625 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2626 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2627 [Andy Polyakov]
2628
2629 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2630 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2631 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2632 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2633
2634 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2635
2636 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2637 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2638
2639 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2640 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2641 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2642 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2643 client and server.
2644 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2645 PR #377.
2646 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2647
2648 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2649 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2650 removed entirely.
2651 [Richard Levitte]
2652
2653 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2654 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2655 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2656 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2657 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2658 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2659 of libcrypto.
2660 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2661 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2662 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2663 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2664 have to be made anyway).
2665 [Richard Levitte]
2666
2667 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2668 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2669 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2670 [Steve Henson]
2671
2672 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2673 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2674 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2675 [Richard Levitte]
2676
2677 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2678 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2679 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2680
2681 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2682 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2683 edit numbers of the version.
2684 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2685
2686 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2687 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2688 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2689
2690 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2691 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2692
2693 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2694 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2695 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2696
2697 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2698 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2699
2700 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2701 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2702
2703 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2704 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2705
2706 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2707 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2708
2709 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2710 overflows.
2711 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2712
2713 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2714 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2715 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2716
2717 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2718 representations in a platform independent manner.
2719 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2720
2721 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2722 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2723 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2724
2725 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2726 indents.
2727 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2728
2729 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2730 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2731
2732 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2733 full. Fixed.
2734 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2735
2736 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2737 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2738 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2739
2740 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2741 unconditionally).
2742 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2743
2744 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2745 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2746
2747 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2748 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2749
2750 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2751 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2752
2753 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2754 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2755
2756 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2757 CBCParameter.
2758 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2759
2760 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2761 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2762
2763 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2764 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2765
2766 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2767 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2768 exploitable.
2769 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2770
2771 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2772 the 0.9.6 release series:
2773
2774 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2775 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2776 (CVE-2002-0657)
2777 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2778
2779 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2780 [Richard Levitte]
2781
2782 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2783 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2784
2785 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2786 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2787
2788 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2789 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2790 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2791 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2792
2793 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2794 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2795 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2796
2797 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2798 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2799 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2800 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2801
2802 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2803 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2804 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2805 some local tweaks:
2806
2807 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2808 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2809 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2810 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2811 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2812 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2813 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2814 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2815 done
2816
2817 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2818 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2819 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2820 [Richard Levitte]
2821
2822 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2823 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2824 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2825 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2826 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2827
2828 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2829 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2830
2831 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2832 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2833 [Richard Levitte]
2834
2835 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2836 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2837 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2838 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2839 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2840 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2841 [Steve Henson]
2842
2843 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2844 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2845 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2846 [Steve Henson]
2847
2848 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2849 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2850 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2851
2852 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2853 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2854 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2855 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2856 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2857 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2858 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2859 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2860
2861 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2862 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2863 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2864 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2865 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2866 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2867 [Steve Henson]
2868
2869 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2870 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2871 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2872 declaration has been changed from
2873 int (*cb)()
2874 into
2875 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2876 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2877 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2878 has been changed into
2879 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2880
2881 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2882 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2883 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2884
2885 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2886 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2887
2888 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2889 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2890 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2891 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2892 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2893 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2894 always load it have also been added.
2895 [Steve Henson]
2896
2897 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2898 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2899 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2900
2901 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2902
2903 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2904 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2905 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2906
2907 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2908 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2909 command line option can be used to specify an
2910 alternative file.
2911 [Steve Henson]
2912
2913 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2914 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2915 [Steve Henson]
2916
2917 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2918 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2919 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2920 [Steve Henson]
2921
2922 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2923 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2924 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2925 to work with the new engine framework.
2926 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2927
2928 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2929 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2930 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2931 to work with the new engine framework.
2932 [Richard Levitte]
2933
2934 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2935 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2936 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2937
2938 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2939 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2940
2941 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2942 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2943 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2944 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2945 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2946 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2947
2948 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2949 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2950
2951 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2952 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2953
2954 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2955 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2956 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2957 [Ben Laurie]
2958
2959 *) Add new functions
2960 ERR_peek_last_error
2961 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2962 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2963 These are similar to
2964 ERR_peek_error
2965 ERR_peek_error_line
2966 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2967 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2968 still in the error queue.
2969 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2970
2971 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2972 like:
2973 default_algorithms = ALL
2974 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2975 [Steve Henson]
2976
2977 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2978 [Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2981 [Steve Henson]
2982
2983 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2984 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2985 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2986 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2987
2988 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2989 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2990
2991 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2992 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2993
2994 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2995 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2996 [Bodo Moeller]
2997
2998 *) New functions/macros
2999
3000 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3001 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3002 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3003 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3004
3005 to request calling a callback function
3006
3007 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3008 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3009
3010 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3011 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3012 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3013 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3014 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3015 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3016 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3017 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3018 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3019 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3020
3021 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3022 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3023 [Bodo Moeller]
3024
3025 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3026 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3027 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3028 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3029 the configuration scripts.
3030
3031 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3032 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3033 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3034
3035 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3036 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3037
3038 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3039 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3040 when reusing an existing buffer.
3041 [Bodo Moeller]
3042
3043 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3044 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3045 [Steve Henson]
3046
3047 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3048 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3049 [Ben Laurie]
3050
3051 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3052 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3053 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3054 has the same effect.
3055 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3056
3057 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3058 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3059 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3060 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3061 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3062 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3063 exception.
3064
3065 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3066 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3067 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3068 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3069
3070 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3071 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3072 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3073 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3074
3075 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3076 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3077 won't work.
3078
3079 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3080 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3081 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3082 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3083 default), and then completely removed.
3084 [Richard Levitte]
3085
3086 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3087 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3088 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3089 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3090 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3091 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3092 particular extension is supported.
3093 [Steve Henson]
3094
3095 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3096 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3097 [Steve Henson]
3098
3099 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3100 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3101 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3102 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3103 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3104 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3105 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3106 requires the destination to be valid.
3107
3108 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3109 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3110 [Steve Henson]
3111
3112 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3113 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3114 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3115 [Bodo Moeller]
3116
3117 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3118 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3119
3120 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3121 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3122 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3123 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3124 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3125 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3126 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3127 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3128 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3129 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3130 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3131 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3132 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3133 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3134 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3135 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3136 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3137 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3138 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3139 the new code.
3140 [Geoff Thorpe]
3141
3142 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3143 [Steve Henson]
3144
3145 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3146 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3147 become part of libeay.num as well.
3148 [Richard Levitte]
3149
3150 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3151 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3152 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3153 false once a handshake has been completed.
3154 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3155 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3156 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3157 client has followed the request.)
3158 [Bodo Moeller]
3159
3160 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3161 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3162 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3163 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3164
3165 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3166 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3167 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3168 [Bodo Moeller]
3169
3170 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3171 [Steve Henson]
3172
3173 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3174 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3175 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3176 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3177
3178 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3179 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3180 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3181
3182 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3183 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3184 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3185 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3186 [Geoff Thorpe]
3187
3188 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3189 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3190 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3191 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3192 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3193 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3194 [Geoff Thorpe]
3195
3196 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3197 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3198 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3199 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3200 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3201 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3202 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3203 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3204 [Geoff Thorpe]
3205
3206 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3207 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3208 [Geoff Thorpe]
3209
3210 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3211 [Ben Laurie]
3212
3213 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3214 md_data void pointer.
3215 [Ben Laurie]
3216
3217 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3218 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3219 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3220 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3221 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3222 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3223 [Ben Laurie]
3224
3225 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3226 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3227 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3228 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3229 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3230 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3231 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3232 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3233 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3234 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3235 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3236 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3237 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3238 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3239 rather than letting it slide.
3240
3241 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3242 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3243 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3244 [Geoff Thorpe]
3245
3246 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3247 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3248 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3249 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3250 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3251 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3252 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3253 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3254 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3255 [Geoff Thorpe]
3256
3257 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3258 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3259 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3260 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3261 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3262
3263 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3264 [Geoff Thorpe]
3265
3266 *) Add EVP test program.
3267 [Ben Laurie]
3268
3269 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3270 [Ben Laurie]
3271
3272 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3273 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3274 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3275 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3276 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3277 [Steve Henson]
3278
3279 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3280 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3281 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3282 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3283 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3284 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3285 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3286
3287 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3288 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3289 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3290 Usage example:
3291
3292 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3293
3294 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3295 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3296 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3297 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3298 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3299
3300 [Ben Laurie]
3301
3302 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3303 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3304 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3305 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3306 anyway): E.g.,
3307
3308 des_key_schedule ks;
3309
3310 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3311 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3312
3313 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3314 [Ben Laurie]
3315
3316 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3317 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3318 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3319 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3320 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3321 functions prevents this.
3322 [Steve Henson]
3323
3324 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3325 [Ben Laurie]
3326
3327 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3328 correct _ecb suffix.
3329 [Ben Laurie]
3330
3331 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3332 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3333 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3334 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3335 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3336 [Steve Henson]
3337
3338 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3339 [Richard Levitte]
3340
3341 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3342 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3343 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3344 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3345
3346 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3347 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3348
3349 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3350 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3351 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3352 via Richard Levitte]
3353
3354 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3355 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3356 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3357 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3358 [Geoff Thorpe]
3359
3360 *) Speed up EVP routines.

3377
3378 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3379 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3380
3381 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3382 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3383 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3384 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3385 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3386 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3387 [Steve Henson]
3388
3389 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3390 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3391 [Richard Levitte]
3392
3393 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3394 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3395 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3396 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3397
3398 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3399 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3400 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3401 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3402 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3403 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3404 callback.
3405 [Richard Levitte]
3406
3407 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3408 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3409 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3410 and interrupts/cancellations.
3411 [Richard Levitte]
3412
3413 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3414 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3415 [Steve Henson]
3416
3417 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3418 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3419 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3420
3421 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3422 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3423 kind of callback.
3424 [Richard Levitte]
3425
3426 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3427 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3428 than this minimum value is recommended.
3429 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3430
3431 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3432 that are easily reachable.
3433 [Richard Levitte]
3434
3435 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3436 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3437
3438 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3439
3440 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3441 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3442 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3443 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3444 [Steve Henson]
3445
3446 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3447 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3448 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3449 [Steve Henson]
3450
3451 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3452 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3453 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3454 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3455 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3456 internally such as S/MIME.
3457
3458 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3459 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3460 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3461
3462 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3463 applications.
3464 [Steve Henson]
3465
3466 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3467 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3468 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3469 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3470
3471 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3472
3473 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3474
3475 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3476 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3477 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3478 handling.
3479 [Steve Henson]
3480
3481 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3482 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3483 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3484 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3485 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3486 a window system and the like.
3487 [Richard Levitte]
3488
3489 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3490 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3491 [Geoff]
3492
3493 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3494 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3495 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3496 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3497 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3498 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3499 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3500 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3501 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3502 ENGINE structure.
3503 [Geoff]
3504
3505 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3506 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3507 tag cache.
3508 [Steve Henson]
3509
3510 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3511 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3512 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3513 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3514 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3515 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3516 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3517 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3518 [Geoff]
3519
3520 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3521 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3522 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3523 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3524 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3525 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3526 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3527 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3528 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3529 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3530 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3531 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3532 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3533 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3534 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3535 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3536 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3537 [Geoff]
3538
3539 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3540 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3541 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3542 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3543 internal engine_int.h header.
3544 [Geoff]
3545
3546 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3547 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3548 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3549 modify their own ones).
3550 [Geoff]
3551
3552 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3553 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3554 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3555 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3556 later on via ctrl() commands.
3557 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3558 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3559 structural references.
3560 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3561 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3562 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3563 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3564 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3565 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3566 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3567 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3568 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3569 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3570 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3571 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3572 [Geoff]
3573
3574 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3575 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3576 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3577 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3578 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3579 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3580 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3581 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3582 [Bodo Moeller]
3583
3584 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3585 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3586 [Steve Henson]
3587
3588 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3589 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3590 [Steve Henson]
3591
3592 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3593 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3594 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3595 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3596 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3597 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3598 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3599 [Steve Henson]
3600
3601 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3602 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3603 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3604 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3605 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3606
3607 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3608 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3609 generator).
3610 [Bodo Moeller]
3611
3612 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3613
3614 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3615 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3616 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3617
3618 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3619 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3620
3621 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3622 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3623 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3624
3625 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3626 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3627
3628 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3629 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3630
3631 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3632
3633 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3634 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3635 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3636 [Bodo Moeller]
3637
3638 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3639 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3640 [Richard Levitte]
3641
3642 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3643 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3644 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3645 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3646 is 40 of more characters long.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3650 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3651 pointers.
3652 [Steve Henson]
3653
3654 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3655 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3656 [Bodo Moeller]
3657
3658 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3659 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3660 might.
3661 [Steve Henson]
3662
3663 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3664
3665 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3666 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3667
3668 ASN1 error codes
3669 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3670 ...
3671 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3672 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3673 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3674 ...
3675 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3676 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3677
3678 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3679 [Bodo Moeller]
3680
3681 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3682 suffices.
3683 [Bodo Moeller]
3684
3685 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3686 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3687 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3688 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3689 and
3690 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3691
3692 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3693 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3694
3695 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3696 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3697 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3698 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3699 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3700 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3701
3702 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3703 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3704
3705 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3706 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3707
3708 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3709 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3710
3711 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3712 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3713 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3714 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3715
3716 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3717 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3718
3719 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3720 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3721
3722 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3723 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3724 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3725 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3726 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3727 [Richard Levitte]
3728
3729 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3730 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3731 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3732 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3733 [Steve Henson]
3734
3735 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3736 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3737 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3738 trust settings.
3739 [Steve Henson]
3740
3741 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3742 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3743 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3744 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3745 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3746 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3747 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3748 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3749 ocsp utility.
3750 [Steve Henson]
3751
3752 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3753 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3754 [Steve Henson]
3755
3756 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3757 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3758 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3759 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3760 [Steve Henson]
3761
3762 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3763 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3764 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3765 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3766 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3767 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3768 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3769 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3770 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3771 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3775 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3776 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3777 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3778 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3779 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3780 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3781 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3782
3783 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3784 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3785 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3786 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3787 [Richard Levitte]
3788
3789 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3790 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3791 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3792 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3793 opensslconf.h.
3794 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3795 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3796 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3797 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3798 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3799 what is available.
3800 [Richard Levitte]
3801
3802 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3803 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3804 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3805 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3806 auto incremented.
3807 [Steve Henson]
3808
3809 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3810 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3811 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3812 [Steve Henson]
3813
3814 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3815 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3816 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3817 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3818 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3819 [Steve Henson]
3820
3821 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3822 [Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3825 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3826 option to ocsp utility.
3827 [Steve Henson]
3828
3829 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3830 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3831 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3832 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3833 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3834 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3835 the request is nonce-less.
3836 [Steve Henson]
3837
3838 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3839 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3840 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3841 [Bodo Moeller]
3842
3843 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3844 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3845 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3846 [Steve Henson]
3847
3848 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3849 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3850 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3851 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3852 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3853 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3854
3855 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3856 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3857 appear to exist.
3858 [Steve Henson]
3859
3860 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3861 additional certificates supplied.
3862 [Steve Henson]
3863
3864 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3865 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3866 signature against.
3867 [Richard Levitte]
3868
3869 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3870 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3871 AES OIDs.
3872
3873 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3874 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3875 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3876 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3877 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3878 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3879 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3880 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3881 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3882
3883 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3884 request to response.
3885 [Steve Henson]
3886
3887 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3888 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3889 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3890 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3891 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3892 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3893 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3894 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3895 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3896 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3897 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3898 [Steve Henson]
3899
3900 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3901 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3902 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3903 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3904 [Steve Henson]
3905
3906 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3907 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3908
3909 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3910 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3911 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3912 [Steve Henson]
3913
3914 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3915 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3916 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3917 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3918 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3919
3920 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3921 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3922 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3923 [Steve Henson]
3924
3925 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3926 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3927 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3928 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3929 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3930 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3931 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3932 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3933
3934 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3935 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3936 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3937 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3938 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3939 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3940 [Steve Henson]
3941
3942 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3943 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3944 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3945 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3946 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3947 printout format cleaned up.
3948 [Steve Henson]
3949
3950 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3951 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3952 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3953 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3954 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3955 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3956 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3957 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3958 [Steve Henson]
3959
3960 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3961 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3962 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3963 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3964 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3965 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3966 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3967 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3968 [Steve Henson]
3969
3970 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3971 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3972 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3973 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3974 section to use.
3975 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3976
3977 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3978 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3979 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3980 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3981 [Steve Henson]
3982
3983 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3984 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3985 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3986 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3987 in the index file.
3988 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3989
3990 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3991 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3992 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3993 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3994
3995 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3996 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3997
3998 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3999 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4000 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4001 [Steve Henson]
4002
4003 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4004 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4005 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4006 [Bodo Moeller]
4007
4008 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4009 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4010 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4011 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4012 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4013 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4014 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4015 functions are provided:
4016
4017 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4018 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4019 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4020 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4021
4022 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4023 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4024 extended allocation function is enabled.
4025 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4026 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4027 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4028
4029 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4030 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4031 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4032 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4033 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4034 [Geoff Thorpe]
4035
4036 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4037 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4038 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4039 be queried.
4040 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4041 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4042 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4043 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4044
4045 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4046 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4047 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4048 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4049 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4050 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4051 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4052 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4053 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4054 [Richard Levitte]
4055
4056 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4057 provide utility functions which an application needing
4058 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4059 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4060 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4061
4062 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4063 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4064 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4065 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4066 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4067 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4068 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4069 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4070 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4071
4072 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4073 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4074 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4075 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4076 [Steve Henson]
4077
4078 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4079 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4080 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4081 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4082 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4083 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4084 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4085 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4086 will be added elsewhere.
4087 [Steve Henson]
4088
4089 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4090 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4091 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4092 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4093 [Steve Henson]
4094
4095 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4096 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4097 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4098 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4099 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4100 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4101 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4102 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4103 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4104 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4105 to produce the required SET OF.
4106 [Steve Henson]
4107
4108 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4109 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4110 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4111 [Richard Levitte]
4112
4113 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4114 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4115 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4116 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4117 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4118 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4122 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4123 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4124 [Steve Henson]
4125
4126 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4127 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4128 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4129 [Richard Levitte]
4130
4131 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4132 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4133 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4134 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4135 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4136 [Steve Henson]
4137
4138 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4139 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4140 [Steve Henson]
4141
4142 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4143 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4144 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4145 certifcates and CRLs.
4146 [Steve Henson]
4147
4148 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4149 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4150 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4151 [Steve Henson]
4152
4153 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4154 entries for variables.
4155 [Steve Henson]
4156
4157 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4158 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4159 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4160 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4161 [Bodo Moeller]
4162
4163 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4164 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4165 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4166 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4167 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4168 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4169 [Bodo Moeller]
4170
4171 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4172 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4173
4174 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4175 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4176 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4177 [Steve Henson]
4178
4179 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4180 print routines.
4181 [Steve Henson]
4182
4183 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4184 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4185 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4186 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4187 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4188 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4189 [Steve Henson]
4190
4191 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4192 [Steve Henson]
4193
4194 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4195 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4196 for now but they will eventually go away.
4197 [Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4200 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4201 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4202 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4203 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4204 has also been converted to the new form.
4205 [Steve Henson]
4206
4207 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4208 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4209 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4210 for negative moduli.
4211 [Bodo Moeller]
4212
4213 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4214 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4215 [Bodo Moeller]
4216
4217 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4218 set.
4219 [Bodo Moeller]
4220
4221 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4222 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4223 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4224 type-specific callbacks.
4225 [Geoff Thorpe]
4226
4227 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4228 RFC 2712.
4229 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4230 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4231
4232 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4233 in sections depending on the subject.
4234 [Richard Levitte]
4235
4236 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4237 Windows.
4238 [Richard Levitte]
4239
4240 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4241 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4242 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4243 be handled deterministically).
4244 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4245
4246 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4247 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4248 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4249 [Bodo Moeller]
4250
4251 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4252 [Bodo Moeller]
4253
4254 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4255 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4256 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4257 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4258 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4259 [Bodo Moeller]
4260
4261 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4262 sign of the number in question.
4263
4264 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4265
4266 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4267 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4268 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4269 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4270 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4271 [Bodo Moeller]
4272
4273 *) New function BN_swap.
4274 [Bodo Moeller]
4275
4276 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4277 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4278 results on negative inputs.
4279 [Bodo Moeller]
4280
4281 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4282 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4283 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4284 [Bodo Moeller]
4285
4286 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4287 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4288 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4289 and add new functions:
4290
4291 BN_nnmod
4292 BN_mod_sqr
4293 BN_mod_add
4294 BN_mod_add_quick
4295 BN_mod_sub
4296 BN_mod_sub_quick
4297 BN_mod_lshift1
4298 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4299 BN_mod_lshift
4300 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4301
4302 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4303
4304 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4305 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4306
4307 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4308 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4309 be reduced modulo m.
4310 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4311
4312 #if 0
4313 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4314 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4315 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4316
4317 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4318 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4319 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4320 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4321 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4322 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4323 differing sizes.
4324 [Richard Levitte]
4325 #endif
4326
4327 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4328 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4329 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4330 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4331 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4332
4333 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4334 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4335 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4336 cause any problems.
4337 [Bodo Moeller]
4338
4339 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4340 [Richard Levitte]
4341
4342 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4343 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4344 [Richard Levitte]
4345
4346 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4347 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4348 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4349 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4350 time)
4351 [Richard Levitte]
4352
4353 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4354 [Richard Levitte]
4355
4356 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4357 [Richard Levitte]
4358
4359 *) Add the following functions:
4360
4361 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4362 ENGINE_load_chil()
4363 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4364 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4365 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4366
4367 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4368 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4369 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4370 libraries unless it's really needed.
4371
4372 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4373 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4374 declarations (they differed!).
4375 [Richard Levitte]
4376
4377 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4378 [Richard Levitte]
4379
4380 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4381 [Richard Levitte]
4382
4383 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4384 [Bodo Moeller]
4385
4386 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4387 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4388 [Richard Levitte]
4389
4390 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4391 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4392 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4393
4394 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4395 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4396 [Richard Levitte]
4397
4398 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4399 [Richard Levitte]
4400
4401 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4402 [Richard Levitte]
4403
4404 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4405 [Ben Laurie]
4406
4407 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4408 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4409 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4410
4411 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4412 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4413 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4414 different shared library filenames on each system.
4415 [Geoff Thorpe]
4416
4417 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4418 [Richard Levitte]
4419
4420 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4421 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4422 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4423 of two sections.
4424 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) NCONF changes.
4427 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4428 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4429 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4430 binary backward compatibility.
4431 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4432 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4433 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4434 LDAP server.
4435 [Richard Levitte]
4436
4437 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4438 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4439 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4440 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4441 this case.
4442 [Steve Henson]
4443
4444 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4445 [Ben Laurie]
4446
4447 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4448 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4449 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4450 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4451 set.
4452 [Steve Henson]
4453
4454 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4455 [Richard Levitte]
4456
4457 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4458
4459 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4460 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4461 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4462
4463 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4464
4465 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4466
4467 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4468 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4469 [Steve Henson]
4470
4471 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4472
4473 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4474
4475 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4476 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4477
4478 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4479 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4480
4481 [Steve Henson]
4482
4483 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4484 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4485 specifications.
4486 [Steve Henson]
4487
4488 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4489 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4490 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4491 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4492
4493 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4494 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4495 [Richard Levitte]
4496
4497 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4498
4499 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4500 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4501 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4502 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4503 [Bodo Moeller]
4504
4505 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4506 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4507 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4508 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4509 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4510
4511 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4512 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4513 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4514 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4515 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4516 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4517 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4518 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4519 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4520 [Bodo Moeller]
4521
4522 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4523
4524 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4525 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4526 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4527 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4528 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4529
4530 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4531 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4532 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4533
4534 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4535
4536 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4537 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4538 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4539 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4540 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4541 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4542 [Geoff Thorpe]
4543
4544 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4545 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4546 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4547 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4548 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4549 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4550
4551 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4552 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4553 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4554
4555 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4556 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4557 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4558 EVP_cleanup().
4559 [Richard Levitte]
4560
4561 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4562 being properly terminated.
4563 [Richard Levitte]
4564
4565 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4566 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4567 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4568 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4569
4570 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4571 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4572 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4573 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4574 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4575 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4576 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4577 change.
4578 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4579
4580 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4581 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4582 [Bodo Moeller]
4583
4584 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4585 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4586 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4587 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4588 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4589 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4590 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4591 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4592
4593 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4594 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4595 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4596 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4597 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4598
4599 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4600 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4601 [Steve Henson]
4602
4603 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4604
4605 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4606 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4607 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4608
4609 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4610
4611 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4612 and get fix the header length calculation.
4613 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4614 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4615 Steve Henson]
4616
4617 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4618 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4619 assertions could call abort()).
4620 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4621
4622 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4623
4624 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4625 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4626 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4627 supplied buffer.
4628 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4629
4630 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4631 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4632 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4633 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4634
4635 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4636 [Nils Larsch]
4637
4638 *) New option
4639 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4640 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4641 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4642
4643 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4644 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4645 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4646 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4647 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4648 applications.
4649 [Bodo Moeller]
4650
4651 *) Changes in security patch:
4652
4653 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4654 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4655 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4656 F30602-01-2-0537.
4657
4658 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4659 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4660 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4661 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4662 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4663
4664 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4665 happen in practice.
4666 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4667
4668 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4669 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4670 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4671
4672 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4673 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4674 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4675
4676 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4677 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4678 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4679
4680 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4681
4682 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4683 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4684 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4685
4686 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4687 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4688
4689 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4690 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4691 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4692 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4693 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4694 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4695 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4696
4697 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4698 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4699 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4700 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4701 [Bodo Moeller]
4702
4703 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4704 [Bodo Moeller]
4705
4706 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4707 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4708 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4709 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4710 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4711 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4712
4713 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4714 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4715 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4716 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4717 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4718 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4719
4720 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4721 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4722 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4723 BN_generate_prime().)
4724
4725 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4726 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4727 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4728 better.
4729 [Bodo Moeller]
4730
4731 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4732 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4733 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4734
4735 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4736 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4737 when using non-blocking I/O.
4738 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4739
4740 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4741 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4742
4743 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4744 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4745 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4746
4747 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4748 configuration for the versions before that.
4749 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4750
4751 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4752 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4753 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4754 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4755 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4756
4757 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4758 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4759 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4760 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4761
4762 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4763 value is 0.
4764 [Richard Levitte]
4765
4766 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4767 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4768 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4769
4770 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4771 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4772
4773 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4774 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4775 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4776 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4777 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4778 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4779 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4780 session cache.
4781
4782 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4783 using a local variable.
4784 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4785
4786 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4787 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4788 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4789
4790 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4791 [Richard Levitte]
4792
4793 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4794 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4795
4796 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4797 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4798 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]

4800 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4801
4802 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4803 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4804 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4805 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4806 [Bodo Moeller]
4807
4808 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4809 present.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811
4812 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4813 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4814 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4815 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4816 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4817
4818 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4819 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4820 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4821
4822 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4823 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4824 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4825
4826 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4827 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4828 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4829 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4830
4831 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4832 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4833 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4834 modules).
4835 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4836
4837 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4838 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4839 from 0.9.7.
4840 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4841
4842 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4843 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4844 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4845 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4846
4847 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4848 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4849 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4850 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4851
4852 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4853 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4854
4855 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4856 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4857 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4858 [Bodo Moeller]
4859
4860 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4861 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4862 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4863 become invalid.
4864 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4865
4866 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4867 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4868 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4869 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4870 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4871 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4872 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4873 [Bodo Moeller]
4874
4875 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4876 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4877 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4878 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4879
4880 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4881 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4882 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4883 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4884 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4885 the client will at least see that alert.
4886 [Bodo Moeller]
4887
4888 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4889 correctly.
4890 [Bodo Moeller]
4891
4892 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4893 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4894 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4895
4896 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4897 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4898 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4899 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4900 HelloRequest.
4901
4902 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4903 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4904 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4905
4906 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4907 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4908 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4909 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4910 may leak via logfiles.)
4911
4912 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4913 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4914 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4915 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4916 the legal range.
4917 [Bodo Moeller]
4918
4919 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4920 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4921 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4922
4923 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4924 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4925 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4926 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4927 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4928 [Bodo Moeller]
4929
4930 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4931 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4932
4933 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4934 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4935 followed by modular reduction.
4936 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4937
4938 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4939 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4940 [Bodo Moeller]
4941
4942 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4943 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4944 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4945 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4946 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4947
4948 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4949 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4950
4951 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4952 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4953 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4954
4955 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4956 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4957 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4958 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4959 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4960 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4961 automatically.
4962 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4963
4964 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4965 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4966 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4967 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4968 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4969
4970 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4971 [Andy Polyakov]
4972
4973 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4974 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4975 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4976 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4977 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4978 to allow the necessary settings.
4979 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4980
4981 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4982 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4983 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4984 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4985 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4986
4987 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4988 dh->length and always used
4989
4990 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4991
4992 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4993 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4994 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4995 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4996 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4997 dh->length.
4998
4999 So switch back to
5000
5001 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5002
5003 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5004 otherwise.
5005 [Bodo Moeller]
5006
5007 *) In
5008
5009 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5010 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5011 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5012 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5013
5014 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5015 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5016 always reject numbers >= n.
5017 [Bodo Moeller]
5018
5019 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5020 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5021 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5022 variable) is not atomic.
5023 [Bodo Moeller]
5024
5025 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5026 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5027 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5028 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5029
5030 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5031 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5032
5033 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5034 little-endian MIPS.
5035 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5036
5037 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5038 [Richard Levitte]
5039
5040 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5041
5042 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5043 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5044 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5045 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5046 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5047 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5048 to traverse all of 'state'.
5049
5050 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5051 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5052 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5053
5054 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5055 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5056
5057 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5058 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5059 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5060 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5061 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5062 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5063 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5064 further strengthens the PRNG.
5065 [Bodo Moeller]
5066
5067 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5068 [Andy Polyakov]
5069
5070 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5071 an error message in this case.
5072 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5073
5074 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5075 [Steve Henson]
5076
5077 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5078 positive and less than q.
5079 [Bodo Moeller]
5080
5081 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5082 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5083 that itself.
5084 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5085
5086 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5087 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5088 [Bodo Moeller]
5089
5090 *) Fix OAEP check.
5091 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5092
5093 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5094 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5095 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5096 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5097 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5098 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5099 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5100 paper.)
5101
5102 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5103 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5104 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5105 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5106
5107 Both problems are now fixed.
5108 [Bodo Moeller]
5109
5110 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5111 (previously it was 1024).
5112 [Bodo Moeller]
5113
5114 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5115 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5116 [Steve Henson]
5117
5118 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5119 [Steve Henson]
5120
5121 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5122 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5123 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5124 [Steve Henson]
5125
5126 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5127 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5128 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5129 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5130 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5131 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5132 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5133 environment variables.
5134
5135 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5136 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5137 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5138 [Bodo Moeller]
5139
5140 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5141 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5142 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5143 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5144 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5145 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5146 [Bodo Moeller]
5147
5148 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5149 versions of 'test'.
5150 [Bodo Moeller]
5151
5152 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5153
5154 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5155 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5156
5157 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5158 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5159 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5160 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5161 CygWin.
5162 [Richard Levitte]
5163
5164 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5165 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5166 amount of data available.
5167 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5168 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5169
5170 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5171 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5172 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5173 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5174 [Bodo Moeller]
5175
5176 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5177 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5178 and UnixWare.
5179 [Richard Levitte]
5180
5181 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5182 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5183 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5184 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5185 [Ulf Moeller]
5186
5187 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5188 [Andy Polyakov]
5189
5190 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5191 [Richard Levitte]
5192
5193 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5194 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5195 [Steve Henson]
5196 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5197
5198 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5199 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5200 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5201 (but broken) behaviour.
5202 [Steve Henson]
5203
5204 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5205 it when found.
5206 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5207
5208 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5209 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5210 [Bodo Moeller]
5211
5212 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5213 did not exist.
5214 [Bodo Moeller]
5215
5216 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5217 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5218
5219 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5220 [Richard Levitte]
5221
5222 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5223 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5224 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5225
5226 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5227 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5228 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5229 [Steve Henson]
5230
5231 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5232 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5233 [Ulf Moeller]
5234
5235 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5236 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5237
5238 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5239
5240 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5241
5242 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5243 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5244 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5245 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5246 [Bodo Moeller]
5247
5248 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5249 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5250
5251 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5252 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5253 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5254
5255 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5256 was empty.
5257 [Steve Henson]
5258 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5259
5260 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5261 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5262 but the code is actually correct.
5263 [Steve Henson]
5264
5265 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5266 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5267 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5268 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5269 and leaves the highest bit random.
5270 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5271
5272 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5273 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5274 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5275 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5276 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5277 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5278 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5279 [Bodo Moeller]
5280
5281 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5282 [Ulf Moeller]
5283
5284 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5285 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5286 [Steve Henson]
5287
5288 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5289 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5290 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5291 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5292 headers.
5293 [Richard Levitte]
5294
5295 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5296 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5297 and break the signature.
5298 [Steve Henson]
5299 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5300
5301 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5302 DH ciphersuites.
5303 [Steve Henson]
5304
5305 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5306 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5307 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5308 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5309 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5310 [Bodo Moeller]
5311
5312 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5313 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5314
5315 *) ./config script fixes.
5316 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5317
5318 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5319 [Bodo Moeller]
5320
5321 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5322 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5323 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5324 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5325 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5326
5327 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5328 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5329 [Bodo Moeller]
5330
5331 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5332 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5333 [Steve Henson]
5334
5335 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5336 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5337 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5338 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5339
5340 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5341 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5342
5343 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5344 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5345 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5346 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5347 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5348
5349 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5350 [Bodo Moeller]
5351
5352 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5353 [Ulf Möller]
5354
5355 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5356 [Ulf Möller]
5357
5358 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5359 [Bodo Moeller]
5360
5361 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5362 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5363 [Bodo Moeller]
5364
5365 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5366 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5367 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5368 result of the server certificate verification.)
5369 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5370
5371 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5372 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5373 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5374 [Bodo Moeller]
5375
5376 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5377 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5378 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5379 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5380 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5381 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5382 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5383 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5384 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5385 [Bodo Moeller]
5386
5387 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5388 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5389 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5390 happening the other way round.
5391 [Geoff Thorpe]
5392
5393 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5394 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5395 [Bodo Moeller]
5396
5397 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5398 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5399 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5400 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5401 [Richard Levitte]
5402
5403 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5404 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5405
5406 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5407
5408 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5409 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5410 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5411 that.
5412
5413 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5414
5415 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5416
5417 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5418 static ones.
5419 [Richard Levitte]
5420
5421 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5422
5423 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5424 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5425 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5426 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5427 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5428
5429 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5430 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5431 matter what.
5432 [Richard Levitte]
5433
5434 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5435 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5436
5437 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5438
5439 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5440 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5441 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5442 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5443 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5444 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5445 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5446 by the Finished messages.
5447 [Bodo Moeller]
5448
5449 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5450 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5451
5452 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5453 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5454 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5455 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5456 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5457 appropriately.
5458 [Steve Henson]
5459
5460 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5461 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5462 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5463 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5464 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5465 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5466 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5467 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5468 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5469 together.
5470 [Steve Henson]
5471
5472 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5473 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5474 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5475 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5476
5477 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5478 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5479 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5480 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5481 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5482 the answer.
5483
5484 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5485 been tested well enough.
5486 [Richard Levitte]
5487
5488 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5489 it can return incorrect results.
5490 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5491 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5492 [Bodo Moeller]
5493
5494 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5495 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5496 include zero length content when signing messages.
5497 [Steve Henson]
5498
5499 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5500 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5501 [Bodo Möller]
5502
5503 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5504 [Richard Levitte]
5505
5506 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5507 wrong sign.
5508 [Ulf Möller]
5509
5510 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5511 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5512 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5513 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5514 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5515 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5516 [Richard Levitte]
5517
5518 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5519 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5520
5521 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5522 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5523
5524 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5525 random number < q in the DSA library.
5526 [Ulf Möller]
5527
5528 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5529 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5530 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5531 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5532 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5533 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5534 just makes things more complicated.)
5535 [Bodo Moeller]
5536
5537 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5538 from EGD.
5539 [Ben Laurie]
5540
5541 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5542 work better on such systems.
5543 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5544
5545 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5546 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5547 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5548 [Steve Henson]
5549
5550 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5551 if there was more than one signature.
5552 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5553
5554 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5555 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5556 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5557 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5558 [Richard Levitte]
5559
5560 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5561 rather than always using the current time.
5562 [Steve Henson]
5563
5564 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5565 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5566 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5567 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5568 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5569 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5570
5571 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5572 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5573
5574 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5575
5576 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5577 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5578 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5579 the same hash value.
5580
5581 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5582 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5583 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5584 with X509_STORE internally.
5585
5586 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5587 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5588
5589 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5590 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5591 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5592 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5593 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5594 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5595 entirely (maybe later...).
5596
5597 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5598
5599 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5600 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5601 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5602 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5603 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5604 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5605 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5606 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5607
5608 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5609 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5610
5611 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5612 to customise the verify behaviour.
5613 [Steve Henson]
5614
5615 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5616 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5617 [Steve Henson]
5618
5619 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5620 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5621 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5622 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5623 request is improperly encoded.
5624 [Steve Henson]
5625
5626 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5627 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5628 BIO_write(b, ...).
5629
5630 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5631 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5632
5633 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5634 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5635 words set to zero.)
5636 [Bodo Moeller]
5637
5638 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5639 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5640 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5641 [Bodo Moeller]
5642
5643 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5644 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5645 BIO/fp routines also added.
5646 [Steve Henson]
5647
5648 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5649 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5650
5651 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5652 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5653 demos/state_machine.
5654 [Ben Laurie]
5655
5656 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5657 generation and verification.
5658 [Steve Henson]
5659
5660 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5661 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5662 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5663 encode and decode it manually.
5664 [Steve Henson]
5665
5666 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5667 compile under VC++.
5668 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5669
5670 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5671 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5672 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5673 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5674
5675 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5676 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5677 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5678 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5679 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5680 [Steve Henson]
5681
5682 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5683 [Richard Levitte]
5684
5685 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5686 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5687 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5688
5689 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5690 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5691 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5692 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5693 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5694 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5695 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5696 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5697
5698 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5699 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5700
5701 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5702
5703 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5704 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5705 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5706
5707 [Richard Levitte]
5708
5709 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5710 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5711 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5712 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5713 [Richard Levitte]
5714
5715 *) MD4 implemented.
5716 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5717
5718 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5719 [Richard Levitte]
5720
5721 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5722 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5723 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5724 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5725 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5726 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5727 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5728 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5729 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5730 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5731 short or long names are found.
5732 [Steve Henson]
5733
5734 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5735 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5736
5737 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5738 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5739 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5740 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5741
5742 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5743 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5744 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5745 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5746 [Bodo Moeller]
5747
5748 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5749 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5750 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5751 [Richard Levitte]
5752
5753 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5754 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5755 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5756 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5757 to allow the various flags to be set.
5758 [Steve Henson]
5759
5760 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5761 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5762 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5763 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5764 dates to be checked.
5765 [Steve Henson]
5766
5767 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5768 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5769 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5770 [Steve Henson]
5771
5772 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5773 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5774 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5775 [Steve Henson]
5776
5777 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5778 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5779 [Bodo Moeller]
5780
5781 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5782 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5783 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5784 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5785 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5786 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5787 [Richard Levitte]
5788
5789 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5790 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5791 Random Numbers.
5792 [Ulf Möller]
5793
5794 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5795 DSA key.
5796 [Steve Henson]
5797
5798 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5799 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5800 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5801 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5802 form signing output easier to verify.
5803 [Steve Henson]
5804
5805 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5806 [Steve Henson]
5807
5808 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5809 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5810 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5811 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5812 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5813 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5814 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5815 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5816 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5817 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5818 [Steve Henson]
5819
5820 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5821
5822 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5823 the syntax given in objects.README.
5824 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5825 obj_mac.h.
5826 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5827 obj_mac.h.
5828
5829 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5830 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5831 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5832 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5833 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5834 consistent name changes.
5835 [Richard Levitte]
5836
5837 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5838 [Bodo Moeller]
5839
5840 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5841 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5842 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5843 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5844 [Richard Levitte]
5845
5846 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5847 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5848 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5849 of safestack.h .
5850 [Steve Henson]
5851
5852 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5853 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5854 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5855 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5856 [Steve Henson]
5857
5858 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5859 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5860 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5861 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5862 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5863 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5864 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5865 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5866 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5867 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5868 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5869 [Steve Henson]
5870
5871 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5872 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5873 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5874 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5875 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5876 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5877 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5878 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5879 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5880 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5881 [Steve Henson]
5882
5883 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5884 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5885 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5886 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5887
5888 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5889 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5890 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5891 omit any duplicate addresses.
5892 [Steve Henson]
5893
5894 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5895 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5896 [Bodo Moeller]
5897
5898 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5899 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5900 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5901 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5902 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5903 [Bodo Moeller]
5904
5905 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5906 software:
5907 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5908 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5909 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5910 Free => OPENSSL_free
5911 [Richard Levitte]
5912
5913 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5914 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5915 [Bodo Moeller]
5916
5917 *) CygWin32 support.
5918 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5919
5920 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5921 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5922 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5923 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5924 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5925 approach.
5926 [Geoff Thorpe]
5927
5928 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5929 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5930 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5931 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5932 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5933 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5934 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5935 [Geoff Thorpe]
5936
5937 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5938 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5939 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5940 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5941 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5942 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5943 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5944 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5945 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5946 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5947 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5948 [Bodo Moeller]
5949
5950 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5951 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5952 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5953 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5954 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5955
5956 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5957 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5958 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5959 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5960 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5961
5962 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5963 ciphers.
5964
5965 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5966 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5967 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5968 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5969
5970 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5971
5972 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5973 of macros.
5974
5975 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5976 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5977 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5978 flags.
5979
5980 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5981 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5982 any installed hardware versions can.
5983 [Steve Henson]
5984
5985 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5986 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5987 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5988 number.
5989 [Bodo Moeller]
5990
5991 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5992 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5993 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5994 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5995 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5996
5997 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5998 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5999 [Steve Henson]
6000
6001 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6002 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6003 [Richard Levitte]
6004
6005 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6006 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6007 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6008 features.
6009 [Steve Henson]
6010
6011 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6012 [Ulf Möller]
6013
6014 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6015 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6016 but no ssl client purpose.
6017 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6018
6019 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6020 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6021 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6022 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6023 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6024 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6025 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6026 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6027 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6028 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6029 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6030 [Steve Henson]
6031
6032 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6033 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6034 be obtained from the error queue.
6035 [Bodo Moeller]
6036
6037 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6038 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6039 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6040 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6041 [Bodo Moeller]
6042
6043 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6044 [Ulf Möller]
6045
6046 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6047 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6048 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6049 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6050 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6051 [Geoff Thorpe]
6052
6053 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6054 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6055 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6056 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6057 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6058 [Geoff Thorpe]
6059
6060 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6061 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6062 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6063 may not be NULL.
6064 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6065
6066 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6067 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6068 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6069 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6070 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6071 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6072 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6073 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6074 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6075 or "the configuration storage API"...
6076
6077 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6078
6079 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6080 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6081
6082 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6083
6084 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6085
6086 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6087 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6088 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6089 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6090 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6091 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6092 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6093
6094 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6095 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6096 [Richard Levitte]
6097
6098 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6099 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6100 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6101 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6102 [Bodo Moeller]
6103
6104 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6105 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6106 them in a portable way.
6107 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6108
6109 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6110
6111 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6112
6113 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6114 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6115
6116 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6117 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6118 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6119 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6120
6121 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6122 was larger than the MD block size.
6123 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6124
6125 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6126 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6127 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6128 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6129 components.
6130 [Steve Henson]
6131
6132 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6133 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6134 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6135
6136 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6137 discouraged.
6138 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6139
6140 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6141 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6142 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6143 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6144 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6145 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6146
6147 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6148 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6149
6150 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6151 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6152 [Bodo Moeller]
6153
6154 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6155 [Bodo Moeller]
6156
6157 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6158 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6159 its own key.
6160 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6161 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6162 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6163 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6164 [Bodo Moeller]
6165
6166 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6167 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6168 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6169 does not suppress any output.
6170 [Richard Levitte]
6171
6172 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6173 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6174 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6175 with all the associated security issues.
6176
6177 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6178 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6179 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6180 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6181 use the value in the default purpose.
6182 [Steve Henson]
6183
6184 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6185 and fix a memory leak.
6186 [Steve Henson]
6187
6188 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6189 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6190 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6191 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6192 [Bodo Moeller]
6193
6194 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6195 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6196 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6197 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6198 [Bodo Moeller]
6199
6200 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6201 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6202 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6203 [Bodo Moeller]
6204
6205 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6206 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6207 [Bodo Moeller]
6208
6209 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6210 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6211 which was free.
6212 [Steve Henson]
6213
6214 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6215 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6216 [Bodo Moeller]
6217
6218 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6219 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6220 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6221 [Bodo Moeller]
6222
6223 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6224 number generation fails.
6225 [Bodo Moeller]
6226
6227 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6228 [Bodo Moeller]
6229
6230 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6231 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6232
6233 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6234 [Ulf Möller]
6235
6236 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6237 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6238
6239 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6240 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6241
6242 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6243
6244 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6245 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6246 [Steve Henson]
6247
6248 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6249 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6250
6251 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6252 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6253 [Ulf Möller]
6254
6255 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6256 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6257 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6258 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6259 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6260 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6261
6262 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6263 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6264 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6265 for example.
6266 [Steve Henson]
6267
6268 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6269 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6270 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6271 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6272 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6273 counter, some don't.)
6274 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6275 counters or duplicate objects.
6276 [Steve Henson]
6277
6278 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6279 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6280 [Steve Henson]
6281
6282 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6283 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6284 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6285
6286 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6287 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6288 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6289 or -rand.
6290 [Ulf Möller]
6291
6292 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6293 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6294 [Steve Henson]
6295
6296 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6297 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6298 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6299 cipher list.
6300 [Steve Henson]
6301
6302 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6303 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6304 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6305 [Steve Henson]
6306
6307 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6308 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6309 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6310 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6311 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6312 should work without changes.
6313 [Richard Levitte]
6314
6315 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6316 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6317 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6318 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6319 must be defined. E.g.,
6320 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6321 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6322 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6323 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6324
6325 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6326 record layer.
6327 [Bodo Moeller]
6328
6329 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6330 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6331 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6332 [Steve Henson]
6333
6334 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6335 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6336 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6337 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6338 [Steve Henson]
6339
6340 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6341 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6342 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6343 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6344 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6345 is prompted for as usual.
6346 [Steve Henson]
6347
6348 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6349 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6350 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6351 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6352
6353 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6354 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6355 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6356 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6357 [Steve Henson]
6358
6359 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6360 [Andy Polyakov]
6361
6362 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6363 of seed file.
6364 [Steve Henson]
6365
6366 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6367 [Bodo Moeller]
6368
6369 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6370 [Steve Henson]
6371
6372 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6373 bits.
6374 [Ulf Möller]
6375
6376 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6377 [Ulf Möller]
6378
6379 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6380 [Andy Polyakov]
6381
6382 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6383 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6384 [Ulf Möller]
6385
6386 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6387 options to produce them.
6388 [Steve Henson]
6389
6390 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6391 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6392 [Ulf Möller]
6393
6394 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6395 for p == 0.
6396 [Ulf Möller]
6397
6398 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6399 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6400 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6401 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6402 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6403 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6404 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6405 [Steve Henson]
6406
6407 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6408 [Steve Henson]
6409
6410 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6411 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6412 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6413 [Bodo Moeller]
6414
6415 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6416 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6417
6418 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6419 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6420 [Ulf Möller]
6421
6422 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6423 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6424 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6425 has already seen).
6426 [Bodo Moeller]
6427
6428 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6429 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6430
6431 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6432 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6433 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6434 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6435 generation becomes much faster.
6436
6437 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6438 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6439 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6440 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6441 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6442 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6443 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6444 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6445 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6446 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6447 [Bodo Moeller]
6448
6449 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6450 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6451 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6452 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6453 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6454 trial division stage.
6455 [Bodo Moeller]
6456
6457 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6458 as ASN1_TIME.
6459 [Steve Henson]
6460
6461 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6462 [Steve Henson]
6463
6464 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6465 [Ulf Möller]
6466
6467 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6468 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6469 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6470 the comments.
6471 [Ulf Möller]
6472
6473 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6474 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6475 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6476 [Bodo Moeller]
6477
6478 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6479 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6480 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6481 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6482
6483 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6484 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6485 [Steve Henson]
6486
6487 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6488 [Ulf Möller]
6489
6490 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6491 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6492 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6493 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6494 [Ulf Möller]
6495
6496 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6497 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6498 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6499 [Ulf Möller]
6500
6501 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6502 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6503 (instead of parameters) in future.
6504 [Steve Henson]
6505
6506 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6507 when a new cipher list is set.
6508 [Steve Henson]
6509
6510 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6511 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6512 wrong.
6513
6514 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6515 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6516 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6517
6518 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6519 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6520 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6521 an error is flagged.
6522
6523 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6524 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6525 the readability was also increased :-)
6526 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6527
6528 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6529 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6530 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6531 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6532 as the root CA.
6533 [Steve Henson]
6534
6535 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6536 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6537 [Steve Henson]
6538
6539 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6540 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6541 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6542 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6543 instead.
6544
6545 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6546 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6547 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6548 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6549 because they handle more complex structures.)
6550 [Steve Henson]
6551
6552 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6553 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6554 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6555 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6556
6557 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6558 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6559 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6560 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6561 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6562 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6563 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6564 [Ulf Möller]
6565
6566 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6567 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6568 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6569 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6570 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6571 [Bodo Moeller]
6572
6573 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6574 [Bodo Moeller]
6575
6576 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6577 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6578 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6579 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6580 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6581 to use this.
6582
6583 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6584 code.
6585 [Steve Henson]
6586
6587 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6588 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6589 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6590 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6591 [Steve Henson]
6592
6593 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6594 [Ulf Möller]
6595
6596 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6597 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6598 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6599 international characters are used.
6600
6601 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6602 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6603 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6604 in ASN1 order.
6605 [Steve Henson]
6606
6607 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6608 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6609 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6610 request.
6611
6612 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6613 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6614 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6615 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6616 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6617 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6618
6619 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6620 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6621 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6622 be handled by the string table functions.
6623
6624 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6625 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6626 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6627 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6628 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6629 types at all.
6630 [Steve Henson]
6631
6632 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6633 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6634 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6635 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6636 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6637
6638 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6639 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6640 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6641 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6642 [Bodo Moeller]
6643
6644 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6645 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6646 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6647 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6648 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6649 SHA1.
6650 [Andy Polyakov]
6651
6652 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6653 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6654 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6655 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6656 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6657 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6658 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6659 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6660
6661 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6662 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6663 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6664 [Steve Henson]
6665
6666 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6667 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6668 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6669 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6670 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6671 support to pkcs8 application.
6672 [Steve Henson]
6673
6674 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6675 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6676 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6677 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6678 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6679 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6680 [Bodo Moeller]
6681
6682 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6683 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6684 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6685 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6686 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6687 consistency.
6688 [Bodo Moeller]
6689
6690 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6691 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6692 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6693 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6694 example.
6695 [Steve Henson]
6696
6697 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6698 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6699 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6700 and any application specific purposes.
6701
6702 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6703 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6704 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6705 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6706 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6707 if the certificate is self signed.
6708 [Steve Henson]
6709
6710 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6711 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6712 [Steve Henson]
6713
6714 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6715 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6716 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6717 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6718 [Steve Henson]
6719
6720 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6721 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6722 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6723 Update documentation.
6724 [Steve Henson]
6725
6726 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6727 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6728 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6729 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6730 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6731 [Steve Henson]
6732
6733 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6734 for details.
6735 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6736
6737 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6738 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6739 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6740 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6741 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6742 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6743 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6744 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6745 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6746 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6747
6748 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6749
6750 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6751 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6752 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6753 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6754 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6755
6756 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6757 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6758 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6759 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6760 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6761 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6762 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6763 request additional information:
6764 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6765 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6766
6767 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6768 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6769 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6770 options.
6771
6772 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6773 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6774
6775 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6776 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6777 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6778
6779 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6780 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6781
6782 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6783 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6784 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6785 algorithm.
6786 [Steve Henson]
6787
6788 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6789 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6790 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6791
6792 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6793 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6794 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6795 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6796 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6797 included in OpenSSL.
6798 [Steve Henson]
6799
6800 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6801 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6802 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6803 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6804 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6805 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6806 [Bodo Moeller]
6807
6808 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6809 PKCS12 structure.
6810 [Steve Henson]
6811
6812 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6813 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6814 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6815 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6816 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6817 structure.
6818 [Steve Henson]
6819
6820 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6821 need initialising.
6822 [Steve Henson]
6823
6824 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6825 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6826 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6827 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6828 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6829 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6830 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6831 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6832 be maintained manually.
6833
6834 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6835 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6836 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6837 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6838 work because people forget to call this function]
6839 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6840 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6841 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6842 [Steve Henson]
6843
6844 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6845 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6846 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6847 should be discouraged from doing it.
6848 [Ben Laurie]
6849
6850 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6851 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6852 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6853 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6854 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6855 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6856 [Steve Henson]
6857
6858 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6859 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6860 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6861
6862 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6863 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6864 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6865
6866 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6867 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6868 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6869 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6870 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6871 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6872
6873 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6874 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6875 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6876
6877 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6878 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6879 and vice versa.
6880
6881 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6882 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6883 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6884 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6885 [Steve Henson]
6886
6887 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6888 [Steve Henson]
6889
6890 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6891 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6892 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6893 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6894 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6895 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6896 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6897 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6898 keys so we should be OK.
6899
6900 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6901 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6902 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6903 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6904 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6905 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6906 stay in the name of compatibility.
6907
6908 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6909 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6910 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6911
6912 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6913 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6914 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6915 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6916 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6917 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6918 supplied key).
6919 [Steve Henson]
6920
6921 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6922 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6923 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6924 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6925 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6926 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6927 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6928 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6929 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6930 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6931 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6932 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6933 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6934 [Steve Henson]
6935
6936 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6937 [Steve Henson]
6938
6939 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6940 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6941 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6942 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6943 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6944 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6945 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6946 openssl verify ss.pem
6947 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6948 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6949 is OK.
6950 [Steve Henson]
6951
6952 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6953 (and add it to external session representation).
6954 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6955 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6956 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6957 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6958 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6959 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6960 security holes.
6961 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6962
6963 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6964 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6965 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6966 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6967
6968 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6969 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6970 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6971 [Steve Henson]
6972
6973 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6974 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6975 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6976 code.
6977 [Steve Henson]
6978
6979 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6980 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6981 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6982
6983 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6984 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6985 certificate auxiliary information.
6986 [Steve Henson]
6987
6988 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6989 the 'enc' command.
6990 [Steve Henson]
6991
6992 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6993 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6994 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6995 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6996 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6997 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6998 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6999 [Richard Levitte]
7000
7001 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7002 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7003 [Steve Henson]
7004
7005 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7006 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7007 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7008 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7009 [Steve Henson]
7010
7011 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7012 [Steve Henson]
7013
7014 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7015 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7016 [Steve Henson]
7017
7018 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7019 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7020 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7021 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7022 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7023 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7024 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7025 using the new 'x509' options.
7026
7027 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7028 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7029 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7030 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7031 for all purposes.
7032 [Steve Henson]
7033
7034 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7035 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7036 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7037 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7038 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7039 [Mark Cox]
7040
7041 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7042 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7043 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7044 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7045 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7046 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7047 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7048 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7049 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7050 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7051 [Steve Henson]
7052
7053 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7054 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7055 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7056 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7057 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7058 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7059 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7060 [Steve Henson]
7061
7062 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7063 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7064 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7065 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7066 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7067 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7068 openssl.cnf for more info.
7069 [Steve Henson]
7070
7071 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7072 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7073 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7074 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7075 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7076 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7077 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7078 md should be large enough anyway.
7079 [Bodo Moeller]
7080
7081 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7082 for handling the random seed file.
7083
7084 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7085 ca,
7086 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7087 s_client,
7088 s_server,
7089 x509 (when signing).
7090 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7091 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7092 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7093
7094 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7095 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7096 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7097 that support '-rand'.
7098 [Bodo Moeller]
7099
7100 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7101 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7102 [Bodo Moeller]
7103
7104 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7105 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7106 [Bill Perry]
7107
7108 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7109 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7110 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7111 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7112 is suitable.
7113 [Steve Henson]
7114
7115 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7116 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7117 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7118 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7119 [Steve Henson]
7120
7121 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7122 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7123 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7124 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7125 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7126 print out all the purposes.
7127 [Steve Henson]
7128
7129 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7130 functions.
7131 [Steve Henson]
7132
7133 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7134 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7135 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7136 single function call.
7137 [Steve Henson]
7138
7139 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7140 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7141 [Andy Polyakov]
7142
7143 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7144 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7145 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7146 [Steve Henson]
7147
7148 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7149 when producing the local key id.
7150 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7151
7152 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7153 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7154 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7155 "server.pem".
7156 [Steve Henson]
7157
7158 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7159 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7160 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7161 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7162 [Steve Henson]
7163
7164 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7165 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7166 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7167 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7168
7169 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7170 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7171 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7172 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7173
7174 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7175 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7176 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7177 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7178 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7179 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7180 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7181 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7182 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7183 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7184 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7185 trivial: move one line.
7186 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7187
7188 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7189 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7190 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7191 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7192 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7193 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7194 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7195 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7196 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7197 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7198 with an event loop for example.
7199 [Steve Henson]
7200
7201 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7202 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7203 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7204 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7205 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7206 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7207 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7208 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7209 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7210 [Steve Henson]
7211
7212 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7213 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7214 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7215 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7216 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7217 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7218 [Steve Henson]
7219
7220 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7221 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7222 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7223 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7224
7225 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7226 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7227 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7228 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7229 key generation.
7230 [Steve Henson]
7231
7232 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7233 (still largely untested)
7234 [Bodo Moeller]
7235
7236 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7237 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7238 [Steve Henson]
7239
7240 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7241 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7242 [Steve Henson]
7243
7244 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7245 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7246 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7247 [Bodo Moeller]
7248
7249 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7250 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7251 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7252 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7253 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7254 [Steve Henson]
7255
7256 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7257 [Andy Polyakov]
7258
7259 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7260 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7261 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7262 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7263 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7264 in ca.
7265 [Steve Henson]
7266
7267 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7268 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7269 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7270 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7271 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7272 [Steve Henson]
7273
7274 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7275 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7276 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7277 are otherwise ignored at present.
7278 [Steve Henson]
7279
7280 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7281 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7282 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7283 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7284 copied until the next read.
7285 [Steve Henson]
7286
7287 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7288 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7289 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7290 [Steve Henson]
7291
7292 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7293 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7294 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7295 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7296 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7297 associated functions.
7298 [Steve Henson]
7299
7300 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7301 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7302 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7303 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7304 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7305 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7306 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7307 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7308 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7309 memory BIOs.
7310 [Steve Henson]
7311
7312 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7313 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7314 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7315 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7316 [Bodo Moeller]
7317
7318 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7319 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7320 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7321 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7322 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7323 functionality.
7324 [Steve Henson]
7325
7326 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7327 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7328 under Win32.
7329 [Steve Henson]
7330
7331 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7332 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7333 extensions to be obtained and added.
7334 [Steve Henson]
7335
7336 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7337 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7338 [Bodo Moeller]
7339
7340 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7341
7342 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7343 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7344
7345 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7346 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7347
7348 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7349 program.
7350 [Steve Henson]
7351
7352 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7353 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7354 DH parameters contain its length).
7355
7356 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7357 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7358 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7359 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7360 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7361 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7362 utter importance to use
7363 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7364 or
7365 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7366 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7367 attacks may become possible!
7368 [Bodo Moeller]
7369
7370 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7371 [Bodo Moeller]
7372
7373 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7374 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7375 [Steve Henson]
7376
7377 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7378 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7379 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7380 or long name.
7381 [Steve Henson]
7382
7383 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7384 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7385 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7386 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7387 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7388 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7389 private key operations.
7390 [Steve Henson]
7391
7392 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7393 [Andy Polyakov]
7394
7395 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7396 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7397 to
7398 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7399 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7400 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7401 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7402 the password callback is called.
7403 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7404
7405 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7406
7407 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7408 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7409 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7410 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7411 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7412 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7413 this will work.
7414
7415 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7416 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7417 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7418 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7419 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7420 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7421 [Bodo Moeller]
7422
7423 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7424 [Andy Polyakov]
7425
7426 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7427 delete an unused file.
7428 [Ulf Möller]
7429
7430 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7431 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7432 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7433 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7434 [Steve Henson]
7435
7436 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7437 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7438 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7439 of an error.
7440 [Bodo Moeller]
7441
7442 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7443 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7444 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7445
7446 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7447 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7448 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7449 comparison" warnings.
7450 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7451 [Steve Henson]
7452
7453 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7454 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7455 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7456 [Steve Henson]
7457
7458 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7459 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7460
7461 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7462 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7463
7464 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7465 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7466 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7467
7468 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7469 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7470 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7471 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7472 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7473 this bug.
7474 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7475
7476 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7477 The interface is as follows:
7478 Applications can use
7479 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7480 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7481 "off" is now the default.
7482 The library internally uses
7483 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7484 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7485 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7486
7487 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7488 even the default) are now avoided.
7489
7490 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7491 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7492 than just having a counter.
7493
7494 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7495
7496 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7497 extensions.
7498 [Bodo Moeller]
7499
7500 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7501 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7502 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7503 Initial "mode" flags are:
7504
7505 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7506 a single record has been written.
7507 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7508 retries use the same buffer location.
7509 (But all of the contents must be
7510 copied!)
7511 [Bodo Moeller]
7512
7513 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7514 worked.
7515
7516 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7517 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7518
7519 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7520 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7521 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7522 [Steve Henson]
7523
7524 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7525 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7526 test programs.
7527 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7528
7529 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7530 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7531 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7532 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7533 point to the end.
7534 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7535 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7536
7537 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7538 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7539 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7540 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7541 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7542 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7543 [Steve Henson]
7544
7545 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7546 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7547 necessary function names.
7548 [Steve Henson]
7549
7550 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7551 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7552 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7553 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7554 [Bodo Moeller]
7555
7556 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7557 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7558 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7559 [Steve Henson]
7560
7561 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7562 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7563 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7564 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7565 such programs?)
7566 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7567 need locks.
7568 [Bodo Moeller]
7569
7570 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7571 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7572 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7573 [Bodo Moeller]
7574
7575 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7576 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7577 appropriate.
7578 [Bodo Moeller]
7579
7580 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7581 for the encoded length.
7582 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7583
7584 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7585 [Steve Henson]
7586
7587 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7588 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7589 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7590 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7591 [Steve Henson]
7592
7593 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7594 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7596
7597 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7598 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7599 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7600 unusual formatting.
7601 [Steve Henson]
7602
7603 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7604 to use the new extension code.
7605 [Steve Henson]
7606
7607 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7608 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7609 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7610 constant.
7611 [Steve Henson]
7612
7613 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7614 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7615 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7616 [Bodo Moeller]
7617
7618 #if 0
7619 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7620 [Ben Laurie]
7621 #else
7622 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7623 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7624 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7625 #endif
7626
7627 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7628 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7629 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7630 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7631 [Ben Laurie]
7632
7633 *) DES library cleanups.
7634 [Ulf Möller]
7635
7636 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7637 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7638 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7639 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7640 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7641 of v2.0.
7642 [Steve Henson]
7643
7644 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7645 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7646 [Bodo Moeller]
7647
7648 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7649 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7650 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7651 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7652 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7653 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7654 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7655 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7656 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7657 [Steve Henson]
7658
7659 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7660 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7661 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7662 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7663 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7664 value doesn't matter.
7665 [Steve Henson]
7666
7667 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7668 support mutable.
7669 [Ben Laurie]
7670
7671 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7672 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7673 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7674 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7675
7676 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7677 [Ulf Möller]
7678
7679 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7680 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7681 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7682
7683 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7684 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7685
7686 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7687 [Ben Laurie]
7688
7689 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7690 [Ben Laurie]
7691
7692 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7693 [Ben Laurie]
7694
7695 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7696 [Bodo Moeller]
7697
7698
7699 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7700
7701 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7702
7703 *) Updated some demos.
7704 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7705
7706 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7707 [Wu Zhigang]
7708
7709 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7710 [Steve Henson]
7711
7712 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7713 [Steve Henson]
7714
7715 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7716 instead of using a fixed path.
7717 [Bodo Moeller]
7718
7719 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7720 [Andy Polyakov]
7721
7722 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7723 [Richard Levitte]
7724
7725
7726 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7727
7728 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7729 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7730 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7731
7732 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7733 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7734 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7735 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7736 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7737 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7738 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7739 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7740 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7741 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7742 [Steve Henson]
7743
7744 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7745 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7746 [Steve Henson]
7747
7748 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7749 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7750 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7751 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7752 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7753
7754 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7755 [Bodo Moeller]
7756
7757 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7758 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7759 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7760 [Steve Henson]
7761
7762 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7763 [Ben Laurie]
7764
7765 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7766 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7767 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7768 key elements as negative integers.
7769 [Steve Henson]
7770
7771 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7772 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7773
7774 *) VMS support.
7775 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7776
7777 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7778 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7779 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7780 [Steve Henson]
7781
7782 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7783 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7784 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7785 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7786 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7787 [Bodo Moeller]
7788
7789 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7790 [Ulf Möller]
7791
7792 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7793 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7794 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7795 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7796
7797 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7798 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7799 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7800
7801 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7802 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7803 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7804 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7805 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7806 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7807 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7808 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7809 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7810
7811 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7812 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7813 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7814 does not influence s as it used to.
7815
7816 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7817 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7818 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7819 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7820 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7821 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7822 [Bodo Moeller]
7823
7824 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7825 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7826 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7827 key type.
7828 [Steve Henson]
7829
7830 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7831 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7832 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7833 and 'x509').
7834 [Steve Henson]
7835
7836 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7837 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7838 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7839 extension option.
7840 [Steve Henson]
7841
7842 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7843 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7844 [Ben Laurie]
7845
7846 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7847 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7848
7849 *) Support Mingw32.
7850 [Ulf Möller]
7851
7852 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7853 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7854
7855 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7856 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7857
7858 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7859 [Ulf Möller]
7860
7861 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7862 [Anonymous]
7863
7864 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7865 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7866
7867 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7868 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7869 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7870 DER-encoded.)
7871 [Bodo Moeller]
7872
7873 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7874 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7875 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7876 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7877 now it really counts the depth.
7878 [Bodo Moeller]
7879
7880 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7881 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7882 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7883 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7884 didn't match the private key).
7885
7886 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7887 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7888 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7889 [Bodo Moeller]
7890
7891 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7892 [Ulf Möller]
7893
7894 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7895 David Harris.
7896 [Bodo Moeller]
7897
7898 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7899 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7900 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7901 [Bodo Moeller]
7902
7903 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7904 [Bodo Moeller]
7905
7906 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7907 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7908 such as /usr/local/bin.
7909 [Bodo Moeller]
7910
7911 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7912 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7913
7914 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7915 [Ulf Möller]
7916
7917 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7918 extension adding in x509 utility.
7919 [Steve Henson]
7920
7921 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7922 [Ulf Möller]
7923
7924 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7925 prototypes.
7926 [Steve Henson]
7927
7928 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7929 [Ulf Möller]
7930
7931 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7932 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7933 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7934 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7935 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7936 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7937 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7938 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7939 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7940 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7941 [Steve Henson]
7942
7943 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7944 [Bodo Moeller]
7945
7946 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7947 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7948 [Bodo Moeller]
7949
7950 *) Fix some race conditions.
7951 [Bodo Moeller]
7952
7953 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7954 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7955 [Steve Henson]
7956
7957 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7958 [Ulf Möller]
7959
7960 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7961 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7962 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7963 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7964
7965 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7966 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7967
7968 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7969 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7970 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7971
7972 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7973 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7974
7975 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7976 [Ulf Möller]
7977
7978 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7979 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7980
7981 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7982 [Ulf Möller]
7983
7984 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7985 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7986
7987 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7988 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7989 [Steve Henson]
7990
7991 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7992 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7993 [Ben Laurie]
7994
7995 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7996 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7997 [Steve Henson]
7998
7999 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8000 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8001 [Steve Henson]
8002
8003 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8004 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8005 [Steve Henson]
8006
8007 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8008 support typesafe stack.
8009 [Steve Henson]
8010
8011 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8012 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8013
8014 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8015 old X509V3 handling code.
8016 [Steve Henson]
8017
8018 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8019 [Ulf Möller]
8020
8021 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8022 [Bodo Moeller]
8023
8024 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8025 [Ben Laurie]
8026
8027 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8028 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8029
8030 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8031 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8032 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8033 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8034 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8035 [Ben Laurie]
8036
8037 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8038 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8039 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8040 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8041 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8042
8043 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8044 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8045 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8046 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8047
8048 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8049 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8050 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8051 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8052
8053 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8054 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8055 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8056 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8057 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8058 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8059 [Bodo Moeller]
8060
8061 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8062 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8063 [Bodo Moeller]
8064
8065 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8066 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8067 [Ulf Möller]
8068
8069 *) Tweaks to Configure
8070 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8071
8072 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8073 yet...
8074 [Steve Henson]
8075
8076 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8077 [Ulf Möller]
8078
8079 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8080 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8081 [Ulf Möller]
8082
8083 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8084 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8085 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8086 [Bodo Moeller]
8087
8088 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8089 [Bodo Moeller]
8090
8091 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8092 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8093 [Steve Henson]
8094
8095 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8096 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8097 to library startup routines.
8098 [Steve Henson]
8099
8100 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8101 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8102 codes along the way.
8103 [Steve Henson]
8104
8105 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8106 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8107 objects to objects.h
8108 [Steve Henson]
8109
8110 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8111 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8112 [Steve Henson]
8113
8114 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8115 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8116
8117 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8118 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8119 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8120
8121 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8122 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8123 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8124
8125 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8126 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8127 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8128
8129
8130 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8131
8132 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8133 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8134 [Ben Laurie]
8135
8136 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8137 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8138 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8139 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8140 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8141
8142 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8143 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8144 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8145 document.
8146 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8147
8148 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8149 Malloc, Free.
8150 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8151
8152 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8153 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8154
8155 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8156 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8157 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8158 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8159
8160 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8161 [Ben Laurie]
8162
8163 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8164 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8165 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8166 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8167 [Steve Henson]
8168
8169 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8170 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8171 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8172 [Steve Henson]
8173
8174 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8175 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8176 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8177 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8178 installed as `perl').
8179 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8180
8181 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8182 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8183
8184 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8185 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8186 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8187 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8188 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8189 [Steve Henson]
8190
8191 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8192 [Ben Laurie]
8193
8194 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8195 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8196 is horrible: I feel ill....
8197 [Steve Henson]
8198
8199 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8200 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8201 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8202 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8203 [Steve Henson]
8204
8205 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8206 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8207
8208 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8209 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8210 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8212
8213 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8214 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8215 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8216 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8217 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8218 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8219 openssl_bio.xs.
8220 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8221
8222 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8223 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8224
8225 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8226 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8227
8228 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8229 [Ben Laurie]
8230
8231 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8232 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8233 in CRLs.
8234 [Steve Henson]
8235
8236 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8237 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8238 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8239 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8240 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8241 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8242 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8243 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8244 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8245 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8246 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8247
8248 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8249 [Ben Laurie]
8250
8251 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8252 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8253 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8254 for linking it into DSOs.
8255 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8256
8257 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8258 Fixed.
8259 [Ben Laurie]
8260
8261 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8262 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8263 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8264 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8265 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8267
8268 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8269 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8270 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8271 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8272 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8273 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8274 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8275
8276 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8277 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8278 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8279 encryption.
8280 [Ben Laurie]
8281
8282 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8283 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8284 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8285 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8286 [Steve Henson]
8287
8288 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8289 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8290 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8291 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8292 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8293 field as blank.
8294 [Steve Henson]
8295
8296 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8297 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8298 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8299 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8300 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8301
8302 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8303 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8304 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8305
8306 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8307 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8308
8309 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8310 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8311 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8312 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8313 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8314 [Steve Henson]
8315
8316 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8317 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8318 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8319 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8320 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8321 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8322 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8323 [Ben Laurie]
8324
8325 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8326 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8327 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8328 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8329 [Ben Laurie]
8330
8331 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8332 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8333
8334 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8335 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8336 [Steve Henson]
8337
8338 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8339 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8340 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8341 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8342 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8343 (e.g. s_server).
8344 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8345 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8346 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8347 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8348 no way to reconfigure them.
8349 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8350 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8351 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8352 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8353 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8354 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8355
8356 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8357 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8358 recognized by the users.
8359 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8360
8361 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8362 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8363 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8364 already masked variable.
8365 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8366
8367 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8368 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8369
8370 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8371 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8372 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8373 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8374
8375 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8376 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8377 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8378
8379 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8380 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8381 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8382 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8383 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8384 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8385 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8386 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8387 now, too.
8388 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8389
8390 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8391 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8392 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8393
8394 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8395 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8396 config file.
8397 [Steve Henson]
8398
8399 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8400 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8401
8402 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8403 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8404 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8405 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8406 [Ben Laurie]
8407
8408 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8409 [Steve Henson]
8410
8411 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8412 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8413
8414 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8415 [Ben Laurie]
8416
8417 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8418 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8419 [Steve Henson]
8420
8421 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8422 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8423 [Steve Henson]
8424
8425 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8426 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8427 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8428 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8429 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8430 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8431 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8432 Ben Laurie]
8433
8434 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8435 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8436
8437 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8438 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8439 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8440 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8441 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8442
8443 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8444 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8445 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8446 [Steve Henson]
8447
8448 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8449 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8450 an example.
8451 [Steve Henson]
8452
8453 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8454 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8455 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8456
8457 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8458 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8459 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8460 build instructions.
8461 [Steve Henson]
8462
8463 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8464 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8465 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8466 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8467 [Steve Henson]
8468
8469 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8470 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8471 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8472 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8473 [Ben Laurie]
8474
8475 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8476 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8477 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8478 so it wasn't spotted.
8479 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8480
8481 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8482 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8483 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8484 vectors if you have them.
8485 [Ben Laurie]
8486
8487 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8488 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8489 [Ben Laurie]
8490
8491 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8492 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8493 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8494 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8495 If you do a:
8496 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8497 it will update them.
8498 [Steve Henson]
8499
8500 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8501 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8502 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8503 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8504 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8505 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8506 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8507 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8508
8509 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8510 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8511 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8512 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8513 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8514 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8515 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8516 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8517 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8518 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8519
8520 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8521 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8522 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8523 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8524 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8525 [Steve Henson]
8526
8527 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8528 INTEGER code.
8529 [Steve Henson]
8530
8531 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8532 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8533
8534 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8535 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8536
8537 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8538 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8539 [Ben Laurie]
8540
8541 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8542 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8543
8544 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8545 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8546
8547 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8548 [Steve Henson]
8549
8550 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8551 few typos.
8552 [Steve Henson]
8553
8554 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8555 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8556 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8557 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8558
8559 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8560 [Steve Henson]
8561
8562 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8563 [Steve Henson]
8564
8565 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8566 [Steve Henson]
8567
8568 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8569 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8570 [Steve Henson]
8571
8572 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8573 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8574 CA extensions.
8575 [Steve Henson]
8576
8577 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8578 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8579 [Steve Henson]
8580
8581 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8582 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8583 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8584 [Steve Henson]
8585
8586 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8587 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8588 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8589 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8590 properly to be processed.
8591 [Steve Henson]
8592
8593 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8594 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8595 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8596 [Ben Laurie]
8597
8598 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8599 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8600
8601 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8602 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8603 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8604 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8605 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8606 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8607 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8608 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8609 or delete all the .err files.
8610 [Steve Henson]
8611
8612 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8613 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8614 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8615 to regenerate it if needed.
8616 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8617 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8618
8619 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8620 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8621
8622 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8623 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8624 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8625 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8626 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8627 [Steve Henson]
8628
8629 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8630 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8631
8632 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8633 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8634
8635 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8636 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8637 error, but didn't set one).
8638 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8639
8640 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8641 [Ben Laurie]
8642
8643 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8644 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8645 [Steve Henson]
8646
8647 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8648 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8649
8650 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8651 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8652 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8653 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8654 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8655 OID is not part of the table.
8656 [Steve Henson]
8657
8658 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8659 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8660 [Ben Laurie]
8661
8662 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8663 [Ben Laurie]
8664
8665 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8666 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8667 was "1234").
8668 [Steve Henson]
8669
8670 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8671 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8672
8673 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8674 NULL pointers.
8675 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8676
8677 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8678 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8679
8680 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8681 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8682
8683 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8684 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8685
8686 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8687 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8688 [Ben Laurie]
8689
8690 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8691 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8692 [Steve Henson]
8693
8694 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8695 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8696
8697 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8698 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8699
8700 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8701 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8702
8703 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8704 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8705
8706 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8707 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8708 unused in the certificate verification process.
8709 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8710
8711 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8712 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8713 [Steve Henson]
8714
8715 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8716 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8717 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8718
8719 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8720 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8721 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8722 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8723 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8724
8725 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8726 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8727 [Steve Henson]
8728
8729 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8730 [Steve Henson]
8731
8732 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8733 [Paul Sutton]
8734
8735 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8736 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8737
8738 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8739 [Ben Laurie]
8740
8741 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8742 [Ben Laurie]
8743
8744 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8745 [Ben Laurie]
8746
8747 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8748 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8749 other error libraries.
8750 [Steve Henson]
8751
8752 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8753 [Steve Henson]
8754
8755 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8756 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8757 be read in.
8758 [Steve Henson]
8759
8760 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8761 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8762 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8763 the new set of documenation files.
8764 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8765
8766 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8767 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8768 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8769 number of arguments.
8770 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8771
8772 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8773 [Ben Laurie]
8774
8775 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8776 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8777 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8778
8779 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8780 [Ben Laurie]
8781
8782 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8783 nextstep
8784 ncr-scde
8785 unixware-2.0
8786 unixware-2.0-pentium
8787 sco5-cc.
8788 [Ben Laurie]
8789
8790 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8791 before they are needed.
8792 [Ben Laurie]
8793
8794 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8795 [Ben Laurie]
8796
8797
8798 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8799
8800 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8801 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8803
8804 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8805 [Paul Sutton]
8806
8807 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8808 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8809 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8810
8811 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8812 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8813 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8814
8815 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8816 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8817 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8818
8819 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8820 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8821
8822 *) Updated the README file.
8823 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8824
8825 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8826 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8827 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8828
8829 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8830 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8831 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8832
8833 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8834 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8835 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8836 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8837 o removed obsolete TODO file
8838 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8839 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8840
8841 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8842 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8843 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8844 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8845 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8846 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8847 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8848
8849 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8850 [Mark J. Cox]
8851
8852 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8853 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8854 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8855 summer 1998.
8856 [The OpenSSL Project]
8857
8858
8859 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8860
8861 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8862 [Eric A. Young]
8863
8864 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8865 [Eric A. Young]
8866
8867 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8868 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8869 [Eric A. Young]
8870
8871 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8872 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8873 available).
8874 [Eric A. Young]
8875
8876 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8877 binary structures
8878 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8879
8880 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8881 [Eric A. Young]
8882
8883 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8884 [Eric A. Young]
8885
8886 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8887 [Eric A. Young]
8888
8889 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8890 [Eric A. Young]
8891
8892 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8893 [Eric A. Young]
8894
8895 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8896 [Eric A. Young]
8897
8898 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8899 [Eric A. Young]
8900
8901 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8902 [Eric A. Young]
8903
8904 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8905 [Eric A. Young]
8906
8907 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8908 [Eric A. Young]
8909
8910 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8911 [Eric A. Young]
8912
8913 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8914 [Eric A. Young]
8915
8916 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8917 [Eric A. Young]
8918
8919 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8920 [Eric A. Young]
8921
8922 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8923 [Eric A. Young]
8924
8925 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8926 [Eric A. Young]
8927
8928 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8929 [Eric A. Young]
8930
8931 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8932 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8933 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8934 [Eric A. Young]
8935
8936 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8937 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8938 [Eric A. Young]
8939
8940 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8941 [Eric A. Young]
8942
8943 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8944 [Eric A. Young]
8945
8946 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8947 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8948 [Eric A. Young]
8949
8950 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8951 [Eric A. Young]
8952
8953 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8954 [Eric A. Young]
8955
8956 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8957 bytes sent in the client random.
8958 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
8959
