4
5 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
8 [Steve Henson]
9
10 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
11 [Andy Polyakov]
12
13 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
14 (which previously caused an internal error).
15 [Bodo Moeller]
16
17 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
18 [Ben Laurie]
19
20 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
21 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
22
23 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
24 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
25 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
26
27 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
28 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
29 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
30 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
31
32 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
33 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
34 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
35 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
36
37 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
38 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
39 information. For detailed background information, see
40 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
41 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
42 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
43 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
44 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
45 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
46 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
47 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
48 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
49 remove a conditional branch.
50
51 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
52 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
53 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
54 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
55 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
56 remains as a deprecated alias.
57
58 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
59 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
60 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
61 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
62
63 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
64 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
65 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
66 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
67 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
68 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
69 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
70 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
71
72 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
73
74 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
75 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
76 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
77 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
78 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
79 with applications using a single external cache for quite
80 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
81 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
82 in a different context.
83 [Bodo Moeller]
84
85 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
86 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
87 authentication-only ciphersuites.
88 [Bodo Moeller]
89
90 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
91
92 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
93 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
94 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
95 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
96 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
97 [Victor Duchovni]
98
99 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
100 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
101 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
102 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
103 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
104 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
105 [Bodo Moeller]
106
107 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
108 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
109 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
110 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
111 message has informed the client about his choice.)
112 [Bodo Moeller]
113
114 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
115 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
116
117 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
118 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
119 Improve header file function name parsing.
120 [Steve Henson]
121
122 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
123 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
124 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
125
126 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
127
128 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
129 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
130 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
131
132 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
133 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
134
135 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
136 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
137
138 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
139 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
140 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
141
142 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
143 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
144 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
145 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
146 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
147 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
148 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
149 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
150 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
151
152 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
153 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
154 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
155 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
156 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
157
158 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
159 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
160 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
161 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
162 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
163 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
164 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
165 multiple values to extend the available space.
166
167 [Bodo Moeller]
168
169 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
170
171 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
172 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
173
174 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
175 [Ben Laurie]
176
177 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
178 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
179 undesirable limitations.
180 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
181
182 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
183 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
184 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
185 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
186 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
187 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
188 to avoid potential handshake problems.
189 [Bodo Moeller]
190
191 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
192
193 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
194 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
195 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
196
197 The latter two were purportedly from
198 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
199 appear there.
200
201 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
202 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
203 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
204 [Bodo Moeller]
205
206 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
207 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
208 [Bodo Moeller]
209
210 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
211 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
212 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
213 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
214
215 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
216 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
217 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
218 [NTT]
219
220 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
221 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
222 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
223 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
224 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
225 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
226 [Steve Henson]
227
228 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
229
230 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
231 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
232 [Steve Henson]
233
234 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
235 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
236
237 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
238 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
239 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
240 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
241 [Douglas Stebila]
242
243 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
244 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
245 [Steve Henson]
246
247 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
248 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
249 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
250 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
251 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
252 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
253 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
254 can't be loaded.
255 [Steve Henson]
256
257 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
258 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
259 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
260 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
261 [Steve Henson]
262
263 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
264 under VC++ build system.
265 [Steve Henson]
266
267 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
268 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
269 [Richard Levitte]
270
271 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
272
273 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
274 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
275 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
276 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
277 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
278
279 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
280 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
281 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
282
283 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
284 [Steve Henson]
285
286 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
287 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
288 [Nils Larsch]
289
290 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
291 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
292
293 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
294 [Nick Mathewson]
295
296 *) Extended Windows CE support.
297 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
298
299 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
300 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
301 [Steve Henson]
302
303 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
304 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
305 smime utility.
306 [Steve Henson]
307
308 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
309
310 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
311 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
312
313 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
314 [Richard Levitte]
315
316 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
317 key into the same file any more.
318 [Richard Levitte]
319
320 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
321 [Andy Polyakov]
322
323 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
324 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
325
326 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
327 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
328 [Richard Levitte]
329
330 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
331 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
332 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
333 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
334 this only applies when building 'shared'.
335 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
336
337 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
338 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
339 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
340 [Steve Henson]
341
342 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
343 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
344 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
345 - add new function for parameter creation
346 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
347 BN_BLINDING parameters
348 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
349 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
350 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
351 threads.
352 [Nils Larsch]
353
354 *) Add support for DTLS.
355 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
356
357 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
358 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
359 [Walter Goulet]
360
361 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
362 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
363 [Nils Larsch]
364
365 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
366 the apps/openssl applications.
367 [Nils Larsch]
368
369 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
370 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
371 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
372 [Ben Laurie]
373
374 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
375 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
376
377 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
378 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
379
380 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
381 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
382 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
383 avoid this algorithm.)
384
385 [Bodo Moeller]
386
387 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
388 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
389 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
390 [Richard Levitte]
391
392 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
393 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
394 [Andy Polyakov]
395
396 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
397 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
398 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
399 pod file:
400
401 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
402
403 The blank line is mandatory.
404
405 [Steve Henson]
406
407 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
408 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
409 sources.
410 [Steve Henson]
411
412 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
413 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
414
415 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
416 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
417 to support policy checking and print out.
418 [Steve Henson]
419
420 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
421 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
422 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
423 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
424
425 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
426 [Geoff Thorpe]
427
428 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
429 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
430
431 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
432 implementation contributed by IBM.
433 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
434
435 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
436 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
437 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
438 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
439
440 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
441 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
442
443 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
444 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
445 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
446 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
447 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
448 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
449 [Steve Henson]
450
451 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
452 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
453 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
454 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
455 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
456 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
457 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
458 [Geoff Thorpe]
459
460 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
461 [Steve Henson]
462
463 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
464 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
465 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
466 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
467 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
468 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
469 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
470 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
471 [Steve Henson]
472
473 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
474 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
475 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
476 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
477 [Steve Henson]
478
479 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
480 syntax:
481
482 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
483 [Steve Henson]
484
485 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
486 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
487 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
488 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
489 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
490 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
491 BN_CTX's "bundling".
492 [Geoff Thorpe]
493
494 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
495 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
496 [Geoff Thorpe]
497
498 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
499 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
500 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
501 [Steve Henson]
502
503 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
504 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
505 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
506 below).
507 [Geoff Thorpe]
508
509 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
510 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
511 [Richard Levitte]
512
513 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
514 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
515 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
516 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
517 [Geoff Thorpe]
518
519 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
520 initialised value as BN_new().
521 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
522
523 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
524 [Steve Henson]
525
526 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
527 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
528 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
529 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
530 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
531 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
532 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
533 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
534 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
535 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
536 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
537 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
538 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
539 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
540 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
541
542 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
543 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
544 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
545 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
546 [Geoff Thorpe]
547
548 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
549 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
550 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
551 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
552 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
553 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
554 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
555 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
556 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
557 [Geoff Thorpe]
558
559 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
560 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
561 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
562 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
563 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
564 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
565 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
566 [Geoff Thorpe]
567
568 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
569 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
570 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
571 these have been updated also.
572 [Geoff Thorpe]
573
574 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
575 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
576 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
577 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
578 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
579 functions.
580 [Steve Henson]
581
582 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
583 structure of type "other".
584 [Steve Henson]
585
586 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
587 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
588 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
589 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
590 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
591 situation in the script.
592 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
593
594 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
595 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
596 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
597 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
598 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
599 used as premaster secret.
600 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
601
602 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
603 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
604 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
605
606 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
607 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
608
609 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
610 control of the error stack.
611 [Richard Levitte]
612
613 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
614 [Richard Levitte]
615
616 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
617 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
618 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
619 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
620 [Richard Levitte]
621
622 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
623 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
624 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
625 [Richard Levitte]
626
627 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
628 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
629 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
630 a memory area.
631 [Richard Levitte]
632
633 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
634 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
635 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
636 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
637 [Richard Levitte]
638
639 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
640 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
641 the following flags are defined:
642
643 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
644 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
645 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
646 number.
647
648 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
649 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
650 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
651 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
652 returns zero.
653 [Richard Levitte]
654
655 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
656 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
657 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
658 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
659 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
660 [Richard Levitte]
661
662 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
663 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
664 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
665 [Richard Levitte]
666
667 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
668 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
669 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
670 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
671 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
672 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
673 [Richard Levitte]
674
675 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
676 req and dirName.
677 [Steve Henson]
678
679 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
680 [Steve Henson]
681
682 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
683 [Steve Henson]
684
685 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
686 [Steve Henson]
687
688 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
689 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
690 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
691 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
692 default implementation more easily.
693 [Geoff Thorpe]
694
695 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
696 in config files.
697 [Steve Henson]
698
699 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
700 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
701 [Richard Levitte]
702
703 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
704 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
705 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
706 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
707
708 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
709 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
710 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
711 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
712 [Steve Henson]
713
714 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
715 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
716 to do it.
717 [Richard Levitte]
718
719 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
720 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
721 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
722 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
723 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
724 scalar * generator).
725 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
726
727 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
728 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
729 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
730 correctly.
731 [Steve Henson]
732
733 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
734 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
735 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
736 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
737 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
738 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
739 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
740 linker additions, eg;
741 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
742 [Geoff Thorpe]
743
744 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
745 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
746 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
747 [Geoff Thorpe]
748
749 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
750 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
751 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
752 via PR#459)
753 [Lutz Jaenicke]
754
755 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
756 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
757 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
758 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
759 [Geoff Thorpe]
760
761 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
762 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
763 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
764 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
765 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
766 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
767 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
768 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
769 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
770 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
771
772 Example for using the new callback interface:
773
774 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
775 void *my_arg = ...;
776 BN_GENCB my_cb;
777
778 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
779
780 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
781 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
782 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
783 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
784 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
785 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
786 */
787
788 [Geoff Thorpe]
789
790 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
791 available to TLS with the number defined in
792 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
793 [Richard Levitte]
794
795 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
796 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
797
798 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
799 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
800 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
801 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
802
803 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
804 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
805
806 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
807 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
808 well.
809 [Richard Levitte]
810
811 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
812 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
813 [Richard Levitte]
814
815 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
816 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
817 and a macro that behave like
818 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
819
820 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
821 [Nils Larsch]
822
823 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
824 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
825 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
826 if applicable.
827 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
828
829 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
830 [Bodo Moeller]
831
832 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
833 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
834 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
835 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
836 directory engines/.
837 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
838 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
839 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
840 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
841 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
842 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
843 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
844 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
845
846 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
847 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
848 [Richard Levitte]
849
850 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
851 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
852
853 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
854 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
855 files while avoiding the low level API.
856
857 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
858 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
859 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
860 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
861
862 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
863 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
864 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
865 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
866 instead of the low level API.
867 [Steve Henson]
868
869 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
870 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
871 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
872 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
873 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
874 PKCS#7 code.
875
876 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
877 down to the template encoder.
878 [Steve Henson]
879
880 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
881 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
882 [Bodo Moeller]
883
884 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
885 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
886 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
887 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
888
889 *) Add ECDH engine support.
890 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
891
892 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
893 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
894
895 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
896 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
897 [Bodo Moeller]
898
899 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
900 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
901 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
902 [Bodo Moeller]
903
904 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
905 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
906
907 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
908 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
909
910 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
911 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
912 New EC_METHOD:
913
914 EC_GF2m_simple_method
915
916 New API functions:
917
918 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
919 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
920 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
921 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
922 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
923 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
924
925 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
926 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
927 enable it).
928
929 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
930 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
931 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
932 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
933 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
934 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
935 various internal method names.)
936
937 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
938 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
939
940 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
941 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
942
943 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
944 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
945
946 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
947 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
948 methods are undefined.
949
950 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
951 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
952
953 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
954 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
955 length of the modulus.
956
957 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
958 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
959
960 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
961 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
962
963 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
964 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
965
966 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
967 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
968 used) in the following functions [macros]:
969
970 BN_GF2m_add
971 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
972 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
973 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
974 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
975 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
976 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
977 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
978 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
979 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
980
981 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
982 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
983
984 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
985 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
986 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
987 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
988 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
989 where
990 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
991 This applies to the following functions:
992
993 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
994 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
995 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
996 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
997 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
998 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
999 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1000 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1001 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1002 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1003
1004 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1005
1006 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1007 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1008
1009 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1010
1011 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1012 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1013 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1014 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1015 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1016
1017 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1018 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1019
1020 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1021 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1022 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1023
1024 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1025 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1026
1027 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1028 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1029 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1030 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1031 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1032
1033 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1034 functions
1035 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1036 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1037 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1038 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1039 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1040 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1041 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1042 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1043 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1044 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1045 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1046 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1047
1048 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1049 functions
1050 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1051 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1052 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1053 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1054 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1055
1056 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1057 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1058 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1059 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1060
1061 *) Add functions
1062 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1063 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1064 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1065 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1066 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1067 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1068 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1069
1070 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1071 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1072 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1073 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1074 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1075 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1076 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1077 adding different types of curves.
1078 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1079
1080 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1081 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1082 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1083 [Bodo Moeller]
1084
1085 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1086 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1087
1088 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1089 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1090 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1091 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1092
1093 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1094
1095 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1096 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1097
1098 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1099 library. Most notably,
1100 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1101 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1102 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1103 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1104 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1105 extracted before the specific public key;
1106 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1107 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1108
1109 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1110 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1111 function
1112 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1113 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1114 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1115 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1116 accessed via
1117 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1118 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1119 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1120
1121 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1122 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1123 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1124 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1125 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1126 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1127 differing sizes.
1128 [Richard Levitte]
1129
1130 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1131
1132 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1133 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1134 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1135 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1136 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1137 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1138 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1139 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1140 in a different context.
1141 [Bodo Moeller]
1142
1143 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1144
1145 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1146 sensitive data.
1147 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1148
1149 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1150 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1151 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1152 [Bodo Moeller]
1153
1154 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1155 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1156 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1157 [Victor Duchovni]
1158
1159 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1160 [Steve Henson]
1161
1162 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1163 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1164 [Steve Henson]
1165
1166 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1167 run algorithm test programs.
1168 [Steve Henson]
1169
1170 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1171 [Steve Henson]
1172
1173 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1174 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1175 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1176 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1177 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1178 [Bodo Moeller]
1179
1180 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1181 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1182 [Steve Henson]
1183
1184 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1185
1186 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1187 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1188 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1189
1190 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1191 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1192
1193 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1194 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1195
1196 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1197 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1198 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1199
1200 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1201 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1202 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1203 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1204 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1205 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1206 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1207 [Bodo Moeller]
1208
1209 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1210
1211 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1212 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1213
1214 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1215 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1216 undesirable limitations.
1217 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1218
1219 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1220
1221 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1222 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1223 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1224
1225 The latter two were purportedly from
1226 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1227 appear there.
1228
1229 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1230 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1231 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1232 [Bodo Moeller]
1233
1234 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1235 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1236 [Bodo Moeller]
1237
1238 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1239
1240 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1241 module in FIPS mode.
1242 [Steve Henson]
1243
1244 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1245 [Steve Henson]
1246
1247 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1248 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1249 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1250 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1251 [Steve Henson]
1252
1253 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1254
1255 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1256 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1257 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1258 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1259 the difference induced by this change.
1260 [Andy Polyakov]
1261
1262 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1263
1264 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1265 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1266 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1267 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1268 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1269
1270 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1271 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1272 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1273
1274 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1275 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1276 [Steve Henson]
1277
1278 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1279 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1280 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1281 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1282 biased k.)
1283 [Bodo Moeller]
1284
1285 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1286 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1287 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1288 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1289 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1290
1291 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1292 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1293 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1294 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1295 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1296 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1297
1298 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1299
1300 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1301 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1302 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1303 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1304 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1305 [Bodo Moeller]
1306
1307 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1308 clients need.
1309 [Steve Henson]
1310
1311 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1312 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1313 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1314 [Steve Henson]
1315
1316 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1317 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1318 structures constant.
1319 [Steve Henson]
1320
1321 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1322
1323 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1324 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1325
1326 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1327 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1328 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1329 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1330 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1331 some needed definitions.
1332 [Steve Henson]
1333
1334 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1335 [Ulf Möller]
1336
1337 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1338 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1339 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1340 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1341 [Richard Levitte]
1342
1343 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1344
1345 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1346 server and client random values. Previously
1347 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1348 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1349
1350 This change has negligible security impact because:
1351
1352 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1353 data.
1354
1355 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1356 handshake.
1357
1358 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1359 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1360 values.
1361
1362 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1363 to our attention.
1364
1365 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1366
1367 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1368 [Ulf Möller]
1369
1370 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1371 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1372 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1373
1374 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1375 [Steve Henson]
1376
1377 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1378 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1379 [Andy Polyakov]
1380
1381 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1382 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1383 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1384
1385 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1386 [Steve Henson]
1387
1388 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1389 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1390 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1391 certificates.
1392 [Steve Henson]
1393
1394 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1395 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1396 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1397 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1398
1399 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1400 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1401 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1402 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1403 been given)
1404 [Richard Levitte]
1405
1406 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1407
1408 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1409 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1410 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1411 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1412 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1413 [Steve Henson]
1414
1415 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1416 [Steve Henson]
1417
1418 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1419 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1420
1421 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1422 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1423 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1424 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1425 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1426 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1427 rather than being initialized to 1.
1428 [Steve Henson]
1429
1430 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1431
1432 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1433 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1434 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1435
1436 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1437 (CVE-2004-0112)
1438 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1439
1440 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1441 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1442 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1443 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1444 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1445 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1446 [Richard Levitte]
1447
1448 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1449 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1450 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1451 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1452 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1453 for these cases.
1454 [Steve Henson]
1455
1456 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1457 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1458 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1459 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1460 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1461 [Steve Henson]
1462
1463 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1464 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1465 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1466 < 0.9.7.
1467 [Steve Henson]
1468
1469 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1470 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1471
1472 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1473 [Steve Henson]
1474
1475 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1476
1477 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1478
1479 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1480 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1481
1482 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1483
1484 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1485 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1486
1487 [Steve Henson]
1488
1489 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1490 exiting on the first error in a request.
1491 [Steve Henson]
1492
1493 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1494 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1495 specifications.
1496 [Steve Henson]
1497
1498 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1499 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1500 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1501 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1502
1503 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1504 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1505 [Richard Levitte]
1506
1507 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1508 blocks during encryption.
1509 [Richard Levitte]
1510
1511 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1512 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1513 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1514 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1515 certain size.
1516 [Steve Henson]
1517
1518 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1519 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1520 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1521 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1522 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1523 parser.
1524 [Steve Henson]
1525
1526 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1527
1528 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1529 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1530 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1531 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1532 [Bodo Moeller]
1533
1534 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1535 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1536 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1537 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1538 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1539
1540 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1541 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1542 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1543 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1544 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1545 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1546 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1547 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1548 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1549 [Bodo Moeller]
1550
1551 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1552 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1553 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1554 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1555 [Geoff Thorpe]
1556
1557 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1558 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1559 [Ulf Moeller]
1560
1561 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1562
1563 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1564 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1565 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1566 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1567 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1568
1569 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1570 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1571 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1572
1573 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1574 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1575 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1576 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1577 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1578
1579 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1580 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1581 used by default when no-err is given.
1582 [Richard Levitte]
1583
1584 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1585 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1586
1587 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1588 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1589 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1590 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1591 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1592
1593 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1594 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1595 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1596 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1597
1598 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1599
1600 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1601
1602 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1603
1604 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1605 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1606 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1607 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1608 root is omitted).
1609 [Steve Henson]
1610
1611 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1612 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1613
1614 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1615 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1616 [Steve Henson]
1617
1618 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1619 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1620 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1621 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1622 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1623
1624 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1625 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1626 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1627 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1628 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1629 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1630 followup to PR #377.
1631 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1632
1633 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1634 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1635 [Andy Polyakov]
1636
1637 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1638 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1639 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
1640 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
1641
1642 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1643
1644 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1645 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
1646
1647 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1648 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1649 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1650 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1651 client and server.
1652 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1653 PR #377.
1654 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1655
1656 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
1657 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1658 removed entirely.
1659 [Richard Levitte]
1660
1661 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1662 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1663 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1664 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1665 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1666 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1667 of libcrypto.
1668 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1669 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1670 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1671 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1672 have to be made anyway).
1673 [Richard Levitte]
1674
1675 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1676 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1677 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1678 [Steve Henson]
1679
1680 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1681 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1682 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1683 [Richard Levitte]
1684
1685 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1686 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1687 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1688
1689 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1690 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1691 edit numbers of the version.
1692 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1693
1694 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1695 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1696 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1697
1698 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1699 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1700
1701 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1702 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1703 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1704
1705 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1706 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1707
1708 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1709 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1710
1711 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1712 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1713
1714 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1715 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1716
1717 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1718 overflows.
1719 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1720
1721 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1722 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1723 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1724
1725 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1726 representations in a platform independent manner.
1727 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1728
1729 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1730 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1731 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1732
1733 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1734 indents.
1735 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1736
1737 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1738 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1739
1740 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1741 full. Fixed.
1742 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1743
1744 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1745 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1746 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1747
1748 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1749 unconditionally).
1750 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1751
1752 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1753 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1754
1755 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1756 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1757
1758 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1759 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1760
1761 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1762 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1763
1764 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1765 CBCParameter.
1766 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1767
1768 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1769 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1770
1771 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1772 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1773
1774 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1775 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1776 exploitable.
1777 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1778
1779 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1780 the 0.9.6 release series:
1781
1782 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1783 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1784 (CVE-2002-0657)
1785 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1786
1787 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1788 [Richard Levitte]
1789
1790 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1791 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1792
1793 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1794 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1795
1796 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1797 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1798 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1799 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1800
1801 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1802 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1803 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1804
1805 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1806 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1807 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1808 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1809
1810 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1811 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1812 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1813 some local tweaks:
1814
1815 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1816 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1817 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1818 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1819 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1820 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1821 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1822 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1823 done
1824
1825 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1826 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1827 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1828 [Richard Levitte]
1829
1830 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1831 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1832 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1833 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1834 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1835
1836 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1837 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1838
1839 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1840 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1841 [Richard Levitte]
1842
1843 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1844 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1845 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1846 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1847 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1848 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1849 [Steve Henson]
1850
1851 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1852 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1853 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1854 [Steve Henson]
1855
1856 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1857 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1858 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1859
1860 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1861 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1862 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1863 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1864 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1865 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1866 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1867 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1868
1869 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1870 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1871 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1872 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1873 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1874 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1875 [Steve Henson]
1876
1877 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1878 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1879 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1880 declaration has been changed from
1881 int (*cb)()
1882 into
1883 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1884 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1885 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1886 has been changed into
1887 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1888
1889 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1890 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1891 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1892
1893 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1894 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1895
1896 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1897 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1898 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1899 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1900 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1901 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1902 always load it have also been added.
1903 [Steve Henson]
1904
1905 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1906 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1907 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1908
1909 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1910
1911 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1912 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1913 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1914
1915 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1916 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1917 command line option can be used to specify an
1918 alternative file.
1919 [Steve Henson]
1920
1921 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1922 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1923 [Steve Henson]
1924
1925 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1926 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1927 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1928 [Steve Henson]
1929
1930 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1931 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1932 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1933 to work with the new engine framework.
1934 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1935
1936 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1937 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1938 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1939 to work with the new engine framework.
1940 [Richard Levitte]
1941
1942 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1943 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1944 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1945
1946 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1947 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1948
1949 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1950 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1951 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1952 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1953 FORMAT_IISSGC.
1954 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1955
1956 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1957 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1958
1959 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1960 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1961
1962 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1963 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1964 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1965 [Ben Laurie]
1966
1967 *) Add new functions
1968 ERR_peek_last_error
1969 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1970 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1971 These are similar to
1972 ERR_peek_error
1973 ERR_peek_error_line
1974 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1975 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1976 still in the error queue.
1977 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1978
1979 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1980 like:
1981 default_algorithms = ALL
1982 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1983 [Steve Henson]
1984
1985 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1986 [Steve Henson]
1987
1988 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1989 [Steve Henson]
1990
1991 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1992 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1993 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1994 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1995
1996 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1997 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1998
1999 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2000 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2001
2002 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2003 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2004 [Bodo Moeller]
2005
2006 *) New functions/macros
2007
2008 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2009 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2010 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2011 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2012
2013 to request calling a callback function
2014
2015 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2016 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2017
2018 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2019 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2020 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2021 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2022 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2023 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2024 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2025 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2026 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2027 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2028
2029 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2030 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2031 [Bodo Moeller]
2032
2033 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2034 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2035 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2036 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2037 the configuration scripts.
2038
2039 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2040 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2041 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2042
2043 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2044 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2045
2046 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2047 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2048 when reusing an existing buffer.
2049 [Bodo Moeller]
2050
2051 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2052 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2053 [Steve Henson]
2054
2055 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2056 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2057 [Ben Laurie]
2058
2059 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2060 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2061 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2062 has the same effect.
2063 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2064
2065 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2066 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2067 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2068 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2069 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2070 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2071 exception.
2072
2073 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2074 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2075 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2076 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2077
2078 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2079 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2080 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2081 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2082
2083 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2084 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2085 won't work.
2086
2087 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2088 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2089 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2090 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2091 default), and then completely removed.
2092 [Richard Levitte]
2093
2094 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2095 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2096 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2097 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2098 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2099 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2100 particular extension is supported.
2101 [Steve Henson]
2102
2103 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2104 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2108 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2109 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2110 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2111 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2112 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2113 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2114 requires the destination to be valid.
2115
2116 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2117 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2118 [Steve Henson]
2119
2120 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2121 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2122 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2123 [Bodo Moeller]
2124
2125 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2126 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2127
2128 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2129 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2130 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2131 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2132 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2133 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2134 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2135 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2136 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2137 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2138 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2139 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2140 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2141 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2142 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2143 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2144 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2145 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2146 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2147 the new code.
2148 [Geoff Thorpe]
2149
2150 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2151 [Steve Henson]
2152
2153 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2154 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2155 become part of libeay.num as well.
2156 [Richard Levitte]
2157
2158 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2159 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2160 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2161 false once a handshake has been completed.
2162 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2163 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2164 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2165 client has followed the request.)
2166 [Bodo Moeller]
2167
2168 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2169 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2170 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2171 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2172
2173 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2174 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2175 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2176 [Bodo Moeller]
2177
2178 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2179 [Steve Henson]
2180
2181 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2182 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2183 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2184 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2185
2186 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2187 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2188 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2189
2190 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2191 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2192 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2193 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2194 [Geoff Thorpe]
2195
2196 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2197 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2198 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2199 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2200 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2201 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2202 [Geoff Thorpe]
2203
2204 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2205 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2206 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2207 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2208 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2209 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2210 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2211 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2212 [Geoff Thorpe]
2213
2214 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2215 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2216 [Geoff Thorpe]
2217
2218 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2219 [Ben Laurie]
2220
2221 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2222 md_data void pointer.
2223 [Ben Laurie]
2224
2225 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2226 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2227 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2228 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2229 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2230 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2231 [Ben Laurie]
2232
2233 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2234 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2235 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2236 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2237 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2238 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2239 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2240 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2241 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2242 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2243 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2244 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2245 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2246 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2247 rather than letting it slide.
2248
2249 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2250 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2251 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2252 [Geoff Thorpe]
2253
2254 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2255 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2256 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2257 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2258 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2259 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2260 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2261 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2262 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2263 [Geoff Thorpe]
2264
2265 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2266 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2267 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2268 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2269 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2270
2271 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2272 [Geoff Thorpe]
2273
2274 *) Add EVP test program.
2275 [Ben Laurie]
2276
2277 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2278 [Ben Laurie]
2279
2280 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2281 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2282 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2283 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2284 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2288 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2289 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2290 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2291 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2292 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2293 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2294
2295 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2296 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2297 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2298 Usage example:
2299
2300 EVP_MD_CTX md;
2301
2302 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2303 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2304 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2305 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2306 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2307
2308 [Ben Laurie]
2309
2310 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2311 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2312 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2313 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2314 anyway): E.g.,
2315
2316 des_key_schedule ks;
2317
2318 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2319 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2320
2321 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2322 [Ben Laurie]
2323
2324 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2325 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2326 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2327 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2328 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2329 functions prevents this.
2330 [Steve Henson]
2331
2332 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2333 [Ben Laurie]
2334
2335 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2336 correct _ecb suffix.
2337 [Ben Laurie]
2338
2339 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2340 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2341 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2342 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2343 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2344 [Steve Henson]
2345
2346 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2347 [Richard Levitte]
2348
2349 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2350 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2351 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2352 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2353
2354 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2355 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2356
2357 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2358 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2359 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2360 via Richard Levitte]
2361
2362 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2363 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2364 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2365 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2366 [Geoff Thorpe]
2367
2368 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2369 Before:
2370 encrypt
2371 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2372 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2384 [Ben Laurie]
2385
2386 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2387 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2388
2389 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2390 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2391 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2392 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2393 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2394 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2398 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2399 [Richard Levitte]
2400
2401 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2402 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2403 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2404 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2405
2406 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2407 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2408 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2409 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2410 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2411 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2412 callback.
2413 [Richard Levitte]
2414
2415 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2416 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2417 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2418 and interrupts/cancellations.
2419 [Richard Levitte]
2420
2421 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2422 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2423 [Steve Henson]
2424
2425 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2426 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2427 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2428
2429 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2430 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2431 kind of callback.
2432 [Richard Levitte]
2433
2434 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2435 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2436 than this minimum value is recommended.
2437 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2438
2439 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2440 that are easily reachable.
2441 [Richard Levitte]
2442
2443 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2444 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2445
2446 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2447
2448 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2449 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2450 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2451 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2452 [Steve Henson]
2453
2454 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2455 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2456 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2457 [Steve Henson]
2458
2459 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2460 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2461 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2462 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2463 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2464 internally such as S/MIME.
2465
2466 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2467 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2468 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2469
2470 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2471 applications.
2472 [Steve Henson]
2473
2474 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2475 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2476 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2477 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2478
2479 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2480
2481 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2482
2483 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2484 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2485 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2486 handling.
2487 [Steve Henson]
2488
2489 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2490 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2491 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2492 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2493 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2494 a window system and the like.
2495 [Richard Levitte]
2496
2497 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2498 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2499 [Geoff]
2500
2501 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2502 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2503 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2504 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2505 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2506 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2507 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2508 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2509 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2510 ENGINE structure.
2511 [Geoff]
2512
2513 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2514 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2515 tag cache.
2516 [Steve Henson]
2517
2518 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2519 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2520 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2521 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2522 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2523 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2524 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2525 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2526 [Geoff]
2527
2528 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2529 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2530 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2531 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2532 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2533 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2534 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2535 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2536 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2537 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2538 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2539 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2540 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2541 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2542 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2543 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2544 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2545 [Geoff]
2546
2547 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2548 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2549 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2550 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2551 internal engine_int.h header.
2552 [Geoff]
2553
2554 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2555 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2556 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2557 modify their own ones).
2558 [Geoff]
2559
2560 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2561 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2562 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2563 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2564 later on via ctrl() commands.
2565 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2566 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2567 structural references.
2568 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2569 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2570 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2571 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2572 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2573 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2574 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2575 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2576 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2577 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2578 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2579 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2580 [Geoff]
2581
2582 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2583 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2584 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2585 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2586 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2587 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2588 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2589 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2590 [Bodo Moeller]
2591
2592 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2593 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2594 [Steve Henson]
2595
2596 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2597 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2598 [Steve Henson]
2599
2600 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2601 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2602 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2603 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2604 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2605 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2606 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2607 [Steve Henson]
2608
2609 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2610 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2611 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2612 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2613 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2614
2615 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2616 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2617 generator).
2618 [Bodo Moeller]
2619
2620 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2621
2622 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2623 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2624 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2625
2626 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2627 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2628
2629 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2630 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2631 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2632
2633 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2634 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2635
2636 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2637 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2638
2639 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2640
2641 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2642 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2643 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2644 [Bodo Moeller]
2645
2646 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2647 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2648 [Richard Levitte]
2649
2650 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2651 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2652 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2653 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2654 is 40 of more characters long.
2655 [Steve Henson]
2656
2657 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2658 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2659 pointers.
2660 [Steve Henson]
2661
2662 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2663 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2664 [Bodo Moeller]
2665
2666 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2667 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2668 might.
2669 [Steve Henson]
2670
2671 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2672
2673 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2674 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2675
2676 ASN1 error codes
2677 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2678 ...
2679 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2680 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2681 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2682 ...
2683 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2684 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2685
2686 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2687 [Bodo Moeller]
2688
2689 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2690 suffices.
2691 [Bodo Moeller]
2692
2693 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2694 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2695 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2696 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2697 and
2698 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2699
2700 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2701 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2702
2703 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2704 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2705 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2706 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2707 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2708 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2709
2710 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2711 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2712
2713 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2714 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2715
2716 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2717 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2718
2719 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2720 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2721 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2722 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2723
2724 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2725 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2726
2727 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2728 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2729
2730 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2731 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2732 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2733 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2734 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2735 [Richard Levitte]
2736
2737 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2738 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2739 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2740 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2741 [Steve Henson]
2742
2743 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2744 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2745 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2746 trust settings.
2747 [Steve Henson]
2748
2749 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2750 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2751 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2752 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2753 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2754 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2755 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2756 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2757 ocsp utility.
2758 [Steve Henson]
2759
2760 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2761 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2762 [Steve Henson]
2763
2764 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2765 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2766 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2767 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2768 [Steve Henson]
2769
2770 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2771 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2772 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2773 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2774 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2775 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2776 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2777 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2778 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2779 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2780 [Steve Henson]
2781
2782 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2783 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2784 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2785 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2786 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2787 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2788 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2789 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2790
2791 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2792 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2793 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2794 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2795 [Richard Levitte]
2796
2797 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2798 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2799 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2800 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2801 opensslconf.h.
2802 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2803 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2804 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2805 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2806 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2807 what is available.
2808 [Richard Levitte]
2809
2810 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2811 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2812 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2813 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2814 auto incremented.
2815 [Steve Henson]
2816
2817 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2818 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2819 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2820 [Steve Henson]
2821
2822 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2823 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2824 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2825 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2826 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2827 [Steve Henson]
2828
2829 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2830 [Steve Henson]
2831
2832 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2833 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2834 option to ocsp utility.
2835 [Steve Henson]
2836
2837 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2838 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2839 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2840 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2841 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2842 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2843 the request is nonce-less.
2844 [Steve Henson]
2845
2846 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2847 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2848 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2849 [Bodo Moeller]
2850
2851 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2852 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2853 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2854 [Steve Henson]
2855
2856 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2857 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2858 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2859 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2860 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2861 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2862
2863 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2864 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2865 appear to exist.
2866 [Steve Henson]
2867
2868 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2869 additional certificates supplied.
2870 [Steve Henson]
2871
2872 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2873 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2874 signature against.
2875 [Richard Levitte]
2876
2877 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2878 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2879 AES OIDs.
2880
2881 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2882 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2883 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2884 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2885 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2886 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2887 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2888 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2889 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2890
2891 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2892 request to response.
2893 [Steve Henson]
2894
2895 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2896 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2897 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2898 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2899 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2900 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2901 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2902 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2903 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2904 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2905 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2906 [Steve Henson]
2907
2908 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2909 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2910 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2911 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2912 [Steve Henson]
2913
2914 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2915 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2916
2917 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2918 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2919 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2920 [Steve Henson]
2921
2922 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2923 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2924 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2925 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2926 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2927
2928 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2929 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2930 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2931 [Steve Henson]
2932
2933 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2934 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2935 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2936 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2937 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2938 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2939 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2940 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2941
2942 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2943 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2944 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2945 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2946 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2947 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2948 [Steve Henson]
2949
2950 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2951 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2952 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2953 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2954 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2955 printout format cleaned up.
2956 [Steve Henson]
2957
2958 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2959 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2960 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2961 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2962 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2963 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2964 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2965 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2966 [Steve Henson]
2967
2968 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2969 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2970 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2971 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2972 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2973 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2974 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2975 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2976 [Steve Henson]
2977
2978 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2979 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2980 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2981 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2982 section to use.
2983 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2984
2985 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2986 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2987 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2988 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2989 [Steve Henson]
2990
2991 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2992 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2993 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2994 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2995 in the index file.
2996 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2997
2998 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2999 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3000 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3001 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3002
3003 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3004 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3005
3006 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3007 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3008 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3009 [Steve Henson]
3010
3011 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3012 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3013 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3014 [Bodo Moeller]
3015
3016 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3017 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3018 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3019 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3020 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3021 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3022 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3023 functions are provided:
3024
3025 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3026 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3027 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3028 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3029
3030 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3031 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3032 extended allocation function is enabled.
3033 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3034 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3035 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3036
3037 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3038 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3039 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3040 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3041 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3042 [Geoff Thorpe]
3043
3044 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3045 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3046 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3047 be queried.
3048 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3049 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3050 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3051 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3052
3053 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3054 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3055 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3056 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3057 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3058 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3059 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3060 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3061 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3062 [Richard Levitte]
3063
3064 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3065 provide utility functions which an application needing
3066 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3067 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3068 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3069
3070 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3071 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3072 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3073 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3074 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3075 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3076 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3077 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3078 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3079
3080 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3081 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3082 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3083 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3084 [Steve Henson]
3085
3086 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3087 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3088 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3089 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3090 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3091 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3092 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3093 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3094 will be added elsewhere.
3095 [Steve Henson]
3096
3097 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3098 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3099 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3100 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3101 [Steve Henson]
3102
3103 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3104 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3105 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3106 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3107 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3108 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3109 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3110 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3111 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3112 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3113 to produce the required SET OF.
3114 [Steve Henson]
3115
3116 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3117 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3118 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3119 [Richard Levitte]
3120
3121 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3122 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3123 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3124 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3125 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3126 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3127 [Steve Henson]
3128
3129 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3130 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3131 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3132 [Steve Henson]
3133
3134 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3135 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3136 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3137 [Richard Levitte]
3138
3139 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3140 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3141 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3142 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3143 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3144 [Steve Henson]
3145
3146 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3147 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3148 [Steve Henson]
3149
3150 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3151 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3152 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3153 certifcates and CRLs.
3154 [Steve Henson]
3155
3156 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3157 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3158 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3162 entries for variables.
3163 [Steve Henson]
3164
3165 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3166 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3167 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3168 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3169 [Bodo Moeller]
3170
3171 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3172 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3173 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3174 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3175 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3176 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3177 [Bodo Moeller]
3178
3179 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3180 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3181
3182 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3183 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3184 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3185 [Steve Henson]
3186
3187 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3188 print routines.
3189 [Steve Henson]
3190
3191 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3192 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3193 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3194 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3195 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3196 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3197 [Steve Henson]
3198
3199 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3200 [Steve Henson]
3201
3202 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3203 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3204 for now but they will eventually go away.
3205 [Steve Henson]
3206
3207 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3208 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3209 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3210 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3211 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3212 has also been converted to the new form.
3213 [Steve Henson]
3214
3215 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3216 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3217 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3218 for negative moduli.
3219 [Bodo Moeller]
3220
3221 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3222 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3223 [Bodo Moeller]
3224
3225 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3226 set.
3227 [Bodo Moeller]
3228
3229 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3230 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3231 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3232 type-specific callbacks.
3233 [Geoff Thorpe]
3234
3235 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3236 RFC 2712.
3237 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3238 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3239
3240 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3241 in sections depending on the subject.
3242 [Richard Levitte]
3243
3244 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3245 Windows.
3246 [Richard Levitte]
3247
3248 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3249 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3250 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3251 be handled deterministically).
3252 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3253
3254 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3255 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3256 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3257 [Bodo Moeller]
3258
3259 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3260 [Bodo Moeller]
3261
3262 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3263 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3264 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3265 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3266 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3267 [Bodo Moeller]
3268
3269 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3270 sign of the number in question.
3271
3272 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3273
3274 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3275 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3276 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3277 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3278 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3279 [Bodo Moeller]
3280
3281 *) New function BN_swap.
3282 [Bodo Moeller]
3283
3284 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3285 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3286 results on negative inputs.
3287 [Bodo Moeller]
3288
3289 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3290 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3291 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3292 [Bodo Moeller]
3293
3294 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3295 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3296 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3297 and add new functions:
3298
3299 BN_nnmod
3300 BN_mod_sqr
3301 BN_mod_add
3302 BN_mod_add_quick
3303 BN_mod_sub
3304 BN_mod_sub_quick
3305 BN_mod_lshift1
3306 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3307 BN_mod_lshift
3308 BN_mod_lshift_quick
3309
3310 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3311
3312 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3313 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3314
3315 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3316 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3317 be reduced modulo m.
3318 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3319
3320 #if 0
3321 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3322 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3323 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3324
3325 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3326 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3327 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3328 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3329 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3330 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3331 differing sizes.
3332 [Richard Levitte]
3333 #endif
3334
3335 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3336 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3337 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3338 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3339 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3340
3341 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3342 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3343 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3344 cause any problems.
3345 [Bodo Moeller]
3346
3347 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3348 [Richard Levitte]
3349
3350 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3351 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3352 [Richard Levitte]
3353
3354 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3355 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3356 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3357 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3358 time)
3359 [Richard Levitte]
3360
3361 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3362 [Richard Levitte]
3363
3364 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3365 [Richard Levitte]
3366
3367 *) Add the following functions:
3368
3369 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3370 ENGINE_load_chil()
3371 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3372 ENGINE_load_nuron()
3373 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3374
3375 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3376 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3377 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3378 libraries unless it's really needed.
3379
3380 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3381 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3382 declarations (they differed!).
3383 [Richard Levitte]
3384
3385 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3386 [Richard Levitte]
3387
3388 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3389 [Richard Levitte]
3390
3391 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3392 [Bodo Moeller]
3393
3394 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3395 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3396 [Richard Levitte]
3397
3398 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3399 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3400 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3401
3402 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3403 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3404 [Richard Levitte]
3405
3406 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3407 [Richard Levitte]
3408
3409 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3410 [Richard Levitte]
3411
3412 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3413 [Ben Laurie]
3414
3415 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3416 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3417 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3418
3419 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3420 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3421 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3422 different shared library filenames on each system.
3423 [Geoff Thorpe]
3424
3425 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3426 [Richard Levitte]
3427
3428 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3429 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3430 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3431 of two sections.
3432 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3433
3434 *) NCONF changes.
3435 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3436 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3437 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3438 binary backward compatibility.
3439 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3440 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3441 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3442 LDAP server.
3443 [Richard Levitte]
3444
3445 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3446 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3447 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3448 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3449 this case.
3450 [Steve Henson]
3451
3452 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3453 [Ben Laurie]
3454
3455 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3456 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3457 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3458 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3459 set.
3460 [Steve Henson]
3461
3462 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3463 [Richard Levitte]
3464
3465 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3466
3467 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3468 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3469 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3470
3471 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3472
3473 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3474
3475 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3476 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3477 [Steve Henson]
3478
3479 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3480
3481 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3482
3483 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3484 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3485
3486 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3487 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3488
3489 [Steve Henson]
3490
3491 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3492 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3493 specifications.
3494 [Steve Henson]
3495
3496 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3497 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3498 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3499 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3500
3501 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3502 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3503 [Richard Levitte]
3504
3505 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3506
3507 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3508 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3509 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3510 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3511 [Bodo Moeller]
3512
3513 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3514 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3515 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3516 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3517 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3518
3519 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3520 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3521 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3522 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3523 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3524 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3525 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3526 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3527 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3528 [Bodo Moeller]
3529
3530 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3531
3532 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3533 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3534 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3535 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3536 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3537
3538 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3539 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3540 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3541
3542 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3543
3544 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3545 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3546 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3547 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3548 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3549 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3550 [Geoff Thorpe]
3551
3552 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3553 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3554 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3555 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3556 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3557 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3558
3559 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3560 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3561 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3562
3563 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3564 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3565 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3566 EVP_cleanup().
3567 [Richard Levitte]
3568
3569 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3570 being properly terminated.
3571 [Richard Levitte]
3572
3573 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3574 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3575 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3576 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3577
3578 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3579 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3580 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3581 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3582 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3583 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3584 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3585 change.
3586 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3587
3588 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3589 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3590 [Bodo Moeller]
3591
3592 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3593 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3594 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3595 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3596 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3597 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3598 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3599 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3600
3601 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3602 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3603 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3604 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3605 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3606
3607 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3608 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3609 [Steve Henson]
3610
3611 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3612
3613 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3614 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3615 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3616
3617 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3618
3619 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3620 and get fix the header length calculation.
3621 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3622 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3623 Steve Henson]
3624
3625 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3626 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3627 assertions could call abort()).
3628 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3629
3630 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3631
3632 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3633 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3634 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3635 supplied buffer.
3636 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3637
3638 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3639 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3640 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3641 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3642
3643 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3644 [Nils Larsch]
3645
3646 *) New option
3647 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3648 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3649 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3650
3651 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3652 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3653 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3654 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3655 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3656 applications.
3657 [Bodo Moeller]
3658
3659 *) Changes in security patch:
3660
3661 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3662 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3663 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3664 F30602-01-2-0537.
3665
3666 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3667 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3668 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3669 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3670 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3671
3672 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3673 happen in practice.
3674 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3675
3676 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3677 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3678 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3679
3680 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3681 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3682 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3683
3684 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3685 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3686 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3687
3688 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3689
3690 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3691 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3692 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3693
3694 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3695 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3696
3697 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3698 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3699 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3700 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3701 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3702 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3703 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3704
3705 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3706 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3707 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3708 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3709 [Bodo Moeller]
3710
3711 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3712 [Bodo Moeller]
3713
3714 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3715 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3716 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3717 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3718 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3719 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3720
3721 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3722 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3723 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3724 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3725 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3726 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3727
3728 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3729 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3730 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3731 BN_generate_prime().)
3732
3733 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3734 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3735 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3736 better.
3737 [Bodo Moeller]
3738
3739 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3740 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3741 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3742
3743 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3744 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3745 when using non-blocking I/O.
3746 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3747
3748 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3749 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3750
3751 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3752 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3753 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3754
3755 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3756 configuration for the versions before that.
3757 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3758
3759 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3760 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3761 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3762 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3763 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3764
3765 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3766 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3767 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3768 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3769
3770 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3771 value is 0.
3772 [Richard Levitte]
3773
3774 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3775 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3776 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3777
3778 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3779 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3780
3781 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3782 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3783 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3784 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3785 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3786 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3787 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3788 session cache.
3789
3790 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3791 using a local variable.
3792 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3793
3794 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3795 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3796 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3797
3798 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3799 [Richard Levitte]
3800
3801 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3802 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3803
3804 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3805 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3806 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3807
3808 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3809
3810 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3811 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3812 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3813 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3814 [Bodo Moeller]
3815
3816 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3817 present.
3818 [Steve Henson]
3819
3820 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3821 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3822 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3823 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3824 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3825
3826 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3827 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3828 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3829
3830 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3831 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3832 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3833
3834 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3835 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3836 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3837 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3838
3839 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3840 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3841 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3842 modules).
3843 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3844
3845 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3846 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3847 from 0.9.7.
3848 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3849
3850 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3851 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3852 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3853 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3854
3855 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3856 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3857 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3858 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3859
3860 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3861 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3862
3863 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3864 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3865 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3866 [Bodo Moeller]
3867
3868 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3869 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3870 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3871 become invalid.
3872 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3873
3874 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3875 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3876 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3877 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3878 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3879 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3880 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3881 [Bodo Moeller]
3882
3883 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3884 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3885 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3886 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3887
3888 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3889 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3890 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3891 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3892 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3893 the client will at least see that alert.
3894 [Bodo Moeller]
3895
3896 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3897 correctly.
3898 [Bodo Moeller]
3899
3900 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3901 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3902 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3903
3904 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3905 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3906 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3907 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3908 HelloRequest.
3909
3910 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3911 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3912 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3913
3914 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3915 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3916 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3917 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3918 may leak via logfiles.)
3919
3920 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3921 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3922 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3923 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3924 the legal range.
3925 [Bodo Moeller]
3926
3927 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3928 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3929 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3930
3931 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3932 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3933 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3934 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3935 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3936 [Bodo Moeller]
3937
3938 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3939 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3940
3941 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3942 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3943 followed by modular reduction.
3944 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3945
3946 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3947 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3948 [Bodo Moeller]
3949
3950 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3951 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3952 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3953 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3954 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3955
3956 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3957 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3958
3959 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3960 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3961 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3962
3963 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3964 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3965 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3966 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3967 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3968 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3969 automatically.
3970 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3971
3972 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3973 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3974 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3975 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3976 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3977
3978 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3979 [Andy Polyakov]
3980
3981 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3982 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3983 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3984 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3985 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3986 to allow the necessary settings.
3987 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3988
3989 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3990 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3991 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3992 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3993 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3994
3995 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3996 dh->length and always used
3997
3998 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3999
4000 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4001 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4002 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4003 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4004 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4005 dh->length.
4006
4007 So switch back to
4008
4009 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4010
4011 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4012 otherwise.
4013 [Bodo Moeller]
4014
4015 *) In
4016
4017 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4018 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4019 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4020 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4021
4022 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4023 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4024 always reject numbers >= n.
4025 [Bodo Moeller]
4026
4027 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4028 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4029 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4030 variable) is not atomic.
4031 [Bodo Moeller]
4032
4033 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4034 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4035 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4036 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4037
4038 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4039 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4040
4041 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4042 little-endian MIPS.
4043 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4044
4045 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4046 [Richard Levitte]
4047
4048 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4049
4050 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4051 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4052 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4053 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4054 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4055 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4056 to traverse all of 'state'.
4057
4058 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4059 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4060 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4061
4062 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4063 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4064
4065 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4066 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4067 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4068 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4069 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4070 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4071 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4072 further strengthens the PRNG.
4073 [Bodo Moeller]
4074
4075 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4076 [Andy Polyakov]
4077
4078 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4079 an error message in this case.
4080 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4081
4082 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4083 [Steve Henson]
4084
4085 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4086 positive and less than q.
4087 [Bodo Moeller]
4088
4089 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4090 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4091 that itself.
4092 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4093
4094 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4095 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4096 [Bodo Moeller]
4097
4098 *) Fix OAEP check.
4099 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4100
4101 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4102 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4103 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4104 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4105 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4106 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4107 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4108 paper.)
4109
4110 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4111 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4112 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4113 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4114
4115 Both problems are now fixed.
4116 [Bodo Moeller]
4117
4118 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4119 (previously it was 1024).
4120 [Bodo Moeller]
4121
4122 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4123 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4124 [Steve Henson]
4125
4126 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4130 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4131 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4132 [Steve Henson]
4133
4134 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4135 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4136 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4137 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4138 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4139 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4140 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4141 environment variables.
4142
4143 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4144 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4145 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4146 [Bodo Moeller]
4147
4148 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4149 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4150 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4151 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4152 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4153 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4154 [Bodo Moeller]
4155
4156 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4157 versions of 'test'.
4158 [Bodo Moeller]
4159
4160 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4161
4162 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4163 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4164
4165 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4166 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4167 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4168 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4169 CygWin.
4170 [Richard Levitte]
4171
4172 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4173 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4174 amount of data available.
4175 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4176 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4177
4178 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4179 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4180 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4181 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4182 [Bodo Moeller]
4183
4184 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4185 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4186 and UnixWare.
4187 [Richard Levitte]
4188
4189 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4190 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4191 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4192 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4193 [Ulf Moeller]
4194
4195 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4196 [Andy Polyakov]
4197
4198 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4199 [Richard Levitte]
4200
4201 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4202 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4203 [Steve Henson]
4204 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4205
4206 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4207 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4208 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4209 (but broken) behaviour.
4210 [Steve Henson]
4211
4212 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4213 it when found.
4214 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4215
4216 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4217 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4218 [Bodo Moeller]
4219
4220 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4221 did not exist.
4222 [Bodo Moeller]
4223
4224 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4225 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4226
4227 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4228 [Richard Levitte]
4229
4230 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4231 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4232 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4233
4234 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4235 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4236 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4237 [Steve Henson]
4238
4239 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4240 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4241 [Ulf Moeller]
4242
4243 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4244 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4245
4246 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4247
4248 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4249
4250 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4251 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4252 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4253 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4254 [Bodo Moeller]
4255
4256 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4257 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4258
4259 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4260 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4261 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4262
4263 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4264 was empty.
4265 [Steve Henson]
4266 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4267
4268 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4269 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4270 but the code is actually correct.
4271 [Steve Henson]
4272
4273 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4274 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4275 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4276 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4277 and leaves the highest bit random.
4278 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4279
4280 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4281 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4282 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4283 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4284 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4285 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4286 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4287 [Bodo Moeller]
4288
4289 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4290 [Ulf Moeller]
4291
4292 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4293 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4294 [Steve Henson]
4295
4296 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4297 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4298 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4299 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4300 headers.
4301 [Richard Levitte]
4302
4303 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4304 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4305 and break the signature.
4306 [Steve Henson]
4307 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4308
4309 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4310 DH ciphersuites.
4311 [Steve Henson]
4312
4313 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4314 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4315 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4316 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4317 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4318 [Bodo Moeller]
4319
4320 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4321 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4322
4323 *) ./config script fixes.
4324 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4325
4326 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4327 [Bodo Moeller]
4328
4329 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4330 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4331 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4332 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4333 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4334
4335 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4336 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4337 [Bodo Moeller]
4338
4339 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4340 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4341 [Steve Henson]
4342
4343 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4344 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4345 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4346 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4347
4348 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4349 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4350
4351 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4352 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4353 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4354 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4355 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4356
4357 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4358 [Bodo Moeller]
4359
4360 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4361 [Ulf Möller]
4362
4363 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4364 [Ulf Möller]
4365
4366 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4367 [Bodo Moeller]
4368
4369 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4370 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4371 [Bodo Moeller]
4372
4373 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4374 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4375 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4376 result of the server certificate verification.)
4377 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4378
4379 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4380 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4381 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4382 [Bodo Moeller]
4383
4384 *) Fix SSL_peek:
4385 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4386 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4387 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4388 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4389 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4390 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4391 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4392 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4393 [Bodo Moeller]
4394
4395 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4396 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4397 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4398 happening the other way round.
4399 [Geoff Thorpe]
4400
4401 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4402 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4403 [Bodo Moeller]
4404
4405 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4406 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4407 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4408 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4409 [Richard Levitte]
4410
4411 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4412 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4413
4414 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4415
4416 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4417 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4418 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4419 that.
4420
4421 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4422
4423 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4424
4425 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4426 static ones.
4427 [Richard Levitte]
4428
4429 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4430
4431 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4432 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4433 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4434 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4435 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4436
4437 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4438 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4439 matter what.
4440 [Richard Levitte]
4441
4442 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4443 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4444
4445 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4446
4447 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4448 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4449 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4450 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4451 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4452 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4453 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4454 by the Finished messages.
4455 [Bodo Moeller]
4456
4457 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4458 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4459
4460 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4461 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4462 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4463 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4464 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4465 appropriately.
4466 [Steve Henson]
4467
4468 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4469 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4470 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4471 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4472 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4473 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4474 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4475 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4476 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4477 together.
4478 [Steve Henson]
4479
4480 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4481 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4482 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4483 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4484
4485 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4486 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4487 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4488 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4489 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4490 the answer.
4491
4492 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4493 been tested well enough.
4494 [Richard Levitte]
4495
4496 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4497 it can return incorrect results.
4498 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4499 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4500 [Bodo Moeller]
4501
4502 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4503 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4504 include zero length content when signing messages.
4505 [Steve Henson]
4506
4507 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4508 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4509 [Bodo Möller]
4510
4511 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4512 [Richard Levitte]
4513
4514 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4515 wrong sign.
4516 [Ulf Möller]
4517
4518 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4519 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4520 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4521 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4522 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4523 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4524 [Richard Levitte]
4525
4526 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4527 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4528
4529 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4530 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4531
4532 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4533 random number < q in the DSA library.
4534 [Ulf Möller]
4535
4536 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4537 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4538 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4539 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4540 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4541 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4542 just makes things more complicated.)
4543 [Bodo Moeller]
4544
4545 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4546 from EGD.
4547 [Ben Laurie]
4548
4549 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4550 work better on such systems.
4551 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4552
4553 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4554 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4555 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4556 [Steve Henson]
4557
4558 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4559 if there was more than one signature.
4560 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4561
4562 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4563 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4564 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4565 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4566 [Richard Levitte]
4567
4568 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4569 rather than always using the current time.
4570 [Steve Henson]
4571
4572 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4573 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4574 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4575 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4576 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4577 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4578
4579 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4580 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4581
4582 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4583
4584 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4585 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4586 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4587 the same hash value.
4588
4589 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4590 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4591 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4592 with X509_STORE internally.
4593
4594 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4595 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4596
4597 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4598 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4599 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4600 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4601 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4602 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4603 entirely (maybe later...).
4604
4605 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4606
4607 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4608 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4609 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4610 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4611 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4612 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4613 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4614 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4615
4616 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4617 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4618
4619 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4620 to customise the verify behaviour.
4621 [Steve Henson]
4622
4623 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4624 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4625 [Steve Henson]
4626
4627 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4628 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4629 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4630 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4631 request is improperly encoded.
4632 [Steve Henson]
4633
4634 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4635 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4636 BIO_write(b, ...).
4637
4638 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4639 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4640
4641 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4642 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4643 words set to zero.)
4644 [Bodo Moeller]
4645
4646 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4647 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4648 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4649 [Bodo Moeller]
4650
4651 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4652 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4653 BIO/fp routines also added.
4654 [Steve Henson]
4655
4656 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4657 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4658
4659 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4660 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4661 demos/state_machine.
4662 [Ben Laurie]
4663
4664 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4665 generation and verification.
4666 [Steve Henson]
4667
4668 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4669 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4670 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4671 encode and decode it manually.
4672 [Steve Henson]
4673
4674 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4675 compile under VC++.
4676 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4677
4678 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4679 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4680 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4681 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4682
4683 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4684 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4685 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4686 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4687 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4688 [Steve Henson]
4689
4690 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4691 [Richard Levitte]
4692
4693 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4694 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4695 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4696
4697 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4698 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4699 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4700 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4701 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4702 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4703 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4704 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4705
4706 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4707 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4708
4709 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4710
4711 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4712 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4713 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4714
4715 [Richard Levitte]
4716
4717 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4718 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4719 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4720 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4721 [Richard Levitte]
4722
4723 *) MD4 implemented.
4724 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4725
4726 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4727 [Richard Levitte]
4728
4729 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4730 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4731 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4732 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4733 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4734 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4735 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4736 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4737 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4738 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4739 short or long names are found.
4740 [Steve Henson]
4741
4742 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4743 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4744
4745 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4746 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4747 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4748 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4749
4750 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4751 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4752 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4753 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4754 [Bodo Moeller]
4755
4756 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4757 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4758 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4759 [Richard Levitte]
4760
4761 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4762 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4763 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4764 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4765 to allow the various flags to be set.
4766 [Steve Henson]
4767
4768 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4769 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4770 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4771 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4772 dates to be checked.
4773 [Steve Henson]
4774
4775 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4776 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4777 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4778 [Steve Henson]
4779
4780 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4781 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4782 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4783 [Steve Henson]
4784
4785 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4786 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4787 [Bodo Moeller]
4788
4789 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4790 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4791 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4792 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4793 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4794 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4795 [Richard Levitte]
4796
4797 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4798 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4799 Random Numbers.
4800 [Ulf Möller]
4801
4802 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4803 DSA key.
4804 [Steve Henson]
4805
4806 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4807 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4808 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4809 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4810 form signing output easier to verify.
4811 [Steve Henson]
4812
4813 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4814 [Steve Henson]
4815
4816 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4817 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4818 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4819 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4820 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4821 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4822 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4823 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4824 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4825 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4826 [Steve Henson]
4827
4828 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4829
4830 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4831 the syntax given in objects.README.
4832 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4833 obj_mac.h.
4834 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4835 obj_mac.h.
4836
4837 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4838 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4839 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4840 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4841 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4842 consistent name changes.
4843 [Richard Levitte]
4844
4845 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4846 [Bodo Moeller]
4847
4848 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4849 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4850 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4851 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4852 [Richard Levitte]
4853
4854 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4855 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4856 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4857 of safestack.h .
4858 [Steve Henson]
4859
4860 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4861 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4862 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4863 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4864 [Steve Henson]
4865
4866 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4867 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4868 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4869 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4870 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4871 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4872 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4873 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4874 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4875 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4876 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4877 [Steve Henson]
4878
4879 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4880 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4881 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4882 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4883 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4884 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4885 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4886 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4887 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4888 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4889 [Steve Henson]
4890
4891 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4892 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4893 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4894 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4895
4896 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4897 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4898 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4899 omit any duplicate addresses.
4900 [Steve Henson]
4901
4902 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4903 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4904 [Bodo Moeller]
4905
4906 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4907 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4908 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4909 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4910 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4911 [Bodo Moeller]
4912
4913 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4914 software:
4915 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4916 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4917 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4918 Free => OPENSSL_free
4919 [Richard Levitte]
4920
4921 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4922 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4923 [Bodo Moeller]
4924
4925 *) CygWin32 support.
4926 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4927
4928 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4929 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4930 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4931 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4932 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4933 approach.
4934 [Geoff Thorpe]
4935
4936 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4937 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4938 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4939 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4940 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4941 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4942 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4943 [Geoff Thorpe]
4944
4945 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4946 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4947 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4948 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4949 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4950 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4951 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4952 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4953 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4954 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4955 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4956 [Bodo Moeller]
4957
4958 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4959 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4960 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4961 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4962 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4963
4964 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4965 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4966 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4967 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4968 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4969
4970 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4971 ciphers.
4972
4973 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4974 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4975 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4976 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4977
4978 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4979
4980 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4981 of macros.
4982
4983 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4984 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4985 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4986 flags.
4987
4988 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4989 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4990 any installed hardware versions can.
4991 [Steve Henson]
4992
4993 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4994 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4995 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4996 number.
4997 [Bodo Moeller]
4998
4999 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5000 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5001 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5002 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5003 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5004
5005 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5006 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5007 [Steve Henson]
5008
5009 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5010 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5011 [Richard Levitte]
5012
5013 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5014 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5015 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5016 features.
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5020 [Ulf Möller]
5021
5022 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5023 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5024 but no ssl client purpose.
5025 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5026
5027 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5028 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5029 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5030 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5031 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5032 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5033 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5034 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5035 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5036 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5037 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5038 [Steve Henson]
5039
5040 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5041 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5042 be obtained from the error queue.
5043 [Bodo Moeller]
5044
5045 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5046 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5047 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5048 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5049 [Bodo Moeller]
5050
5051 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5052 [Ulf Möller]
5053
5054 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5055 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5056 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5057 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5058 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5059 [Geoff Thorpe]
5060
5061 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5062 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5063 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5064 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5065 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5066 [Geoff Thorpe]
5067
5068 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5069 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5070 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5071 may not be NULL.
5072 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5073
5074 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5075 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5076 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5077 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5078 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5079 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5080 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5081 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5082 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5083 or "the configuration storage API"...
5084
5085 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5086
5087 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5088 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5089
5090 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5091
5092 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5093
5094 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5095 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5096 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5097 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5098 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5099 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5100 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5101
5102 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5103 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5104 [Richard Levitte]
5105
5106 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5107 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5108 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5109 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5110 [Bodo Moeller]
5111
5112 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5113 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5114 them in a portable way.
5115 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5116
5117 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5118
5119 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5120
5121 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5122 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5123
5124 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5125 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5126 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5127 <attili@amaxo.com>]
5128
5129 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5130 was larger than the MD block size.
5131 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5132
5133 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5134 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5135 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5136 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5137 components.
5138 [Steve Henson]
5139
5140 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5141 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5142 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5143
5144 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5145 discouraged.
5146 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5147
5148 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5149 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5150 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5151 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5152 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5153 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5154
5155 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5156 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5157
5158 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5159 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5160 [Bodo Moeller]
5161
5162 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5163 [Bodo Moeller]
5164
5165 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5166 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5167 its own key.
5168 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5169 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5170 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5171 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5172 [Bodo Moeller]
5173
5174 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5175 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5176 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5177 does not suppress any output.
5178 [Richard Levitte]
5179
5180 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5181 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5182 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5183 with all the associated security issues.
5184
5185 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5186 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5187 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5188 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5189 use the value in the default purpose.
5190 [Steve Henson]
5191
5192 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5193 and fix a memory leak.
5194 [Steve Henson]
5195
5196 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5197 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5198 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5199 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5200 [Bodo Moeller]
5201
5202 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5203 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5204 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5205 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5206 [Bodo Moeller]
5207
5208 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5209 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5210 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5211 [Bodo Moeller]
5212
5213 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5214 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5215 [Bodo Moeller]
5216
5217 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5218 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5219 which was free.
5220 [Steve Henson]
5221
5222 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5223 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5224 [Bodo Moeller]
5225
5226 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5227 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5228 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5229 [Bodo Moeller]
5230
5231 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5232 number generation fails.
5233 [Bodo Moeller]
5234
5235 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5236 [Bodo Moeller]
5237
5238 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5239 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5240
5241 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5242 [Ulf Möller]
5243
5244 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5245 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5246
5247 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5248 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5249
5250 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5251
5252 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5253 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5254 [Steve Henson]
5255
5256 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5257 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5258
5259 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5260 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5261 [Ulf Möller]
5262
5263 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5264 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5265 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5266 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5267 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5268 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5269
5270 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5271 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5272 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5273 for example.
5274 [Steve Henson]
5275
5276 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5277 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5278 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5279 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5280 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5281 counter, some don't.)
5282 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5283 counters or duplicate objects.
5284 [Steve Henson]
5285
5286 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5287 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5288 [Steve Henson]
5289
5290 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5291 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5292 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5293
5294 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5295 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5296 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5297 or -rand.
5298 [Ulf Möller]
5299
5300 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5301 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5302 [Steve Henson]
5303
5304 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5305 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5306 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5307 cipher list.
5308 [Steve Henson]
5309
5310 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5311 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5312 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5313 [Steve Henson]
5314
5315 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5316 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5317 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5318 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5319 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5320 should work without changes.
5321 [Richard Levitte]
5322
5323 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5324 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5325 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5326 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5327 must be defined. E.g.,
5328 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5329 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5330 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5331 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5332
5333 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5334 record layer.
5335 [Bodo Moeller]
5336
5337 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5338 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5339 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5340 [Steve Henson]
5341
5342 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5343 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5344 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5345 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5346 [Steve Henson]
5347
5348 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5349 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5350 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5351 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5352 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5353 is prompted for as usual.
5354 [Steve Henson]
5355
5356 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5357 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5358 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5359 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5360
5361 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5362 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5363 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5364 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5365 [Steve Henson]
5366
5367 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5368 [Andy Polyakov]
5369
5370 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5371 of seed file.
5372 [Steve Henson]
5373
5374 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5375 [Bodo Moeller]
5376
5377 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5378 [Steve Henson]
5379
5380 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5381 bits.
5382 [Ulf Möller]
5383
5384 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5385 [Ulf Möller]
5386
5387 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5388 [Andy Polyakov]
5389
5390 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5391 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5392 [Ulf Möller]
5393
5394 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5395 options to produce them.
5396 [Steve Henson]
5397
5398 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5399 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5400 [Ulf Möller]
5401
5402 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5403 for p == 0.
5404 [Ulf Möller]
5405
5406 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5407 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5408 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5409 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5410 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5411 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5412 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5413 [Steve Henson]
5414
5415 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5416 [Steve Henson]
5417
5418 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5419 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5420 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5421 [Bodo Moeller]
5422
5423 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5424 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5425
5426 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5427 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5428 [Ulf Möller]
5429
5430 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5431 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5432 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5433 has already seen).
5434 [Bodo Moeller]
5435
5436 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5437 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5438
5439 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5440 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5441 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5442 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5443 generation becomes much faster.
5444
5445 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5446 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5447 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5448 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5449 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5450 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5451 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5452 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5453 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5454 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5455 [Bodo Moeller]
5456
5457 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5458 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5459 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5460 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5461 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5462 trial division stage.
5463 [Bodo Moeller]
5464
5465 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5466 as ASN1_TIME.
5467 [Steve Henson]
5468
5469 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5470 [Steve Henson]
5471
5472 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5473 [Ulf Möller]
5474
5475 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5476 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5477 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5478 the comments.
5479 [Ulf Möller]
5480
5481 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5482 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5483 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5484 [Bodo Moeller]
5485
5486 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5487 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5488 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5489 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5490
5491 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5492 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5493 [Steve Henson]
5494
5495 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5496 [Ulf Möller]
5497
5498 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5499 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5500 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5501 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5502 [Ulf Möller]
5503
5504 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5505 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5506 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5507 [Ulf Möller]
5508
5509 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5510 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5511 (instead of parameters) in future.
5512 [Steve Henson]
5513
5514 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5515 when a new cipher list is set.
5516 [Steve Henson]
5517
5518 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5519 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5520 wrong.
5521
5522 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5523 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5524 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5525
5526 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5527 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5528 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5529 an error is flagged.
5530
5531 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5532 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5533 the readability was also increased :-)
5534 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5535
5536 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5537 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5538 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5539 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5540 as the root CA.
5541 [Steve Henson]
5542
5543 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5544 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5545 [Steve Henson]
5546
5547 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5548 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5549 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5550 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5551 instead.
5552
5553 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5554 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5555 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5556 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5557 because they handle more complex structures.)
5558 [Steve Henson]
5559
5560 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5561 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5562 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5563 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5564
5565 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5566 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5567 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5568 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5569 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5570 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5571 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5572 [Ulf Möller]
5573
5574 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5575 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5576 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5577 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5578 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5579 [Bodo Moeller]
5580
5581 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5582 [Bodo Moeller]
5583
5584 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5585 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5586 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5587 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5588 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5589 to use this.
5590
5591 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5592 code.
5593 [Steve Henson]
5594
5595 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5596 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5597 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5598 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5599 [Steve Henson]
5600
5601 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5602 [Ulf Möller]
5603
5604 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5605 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5606 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5607 international characters are used.
5608
5609 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5610 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5611 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5612 in ASN1 order.
5613 [Steve Henson]
5614
5615 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5616 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5617 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5618 request.
5619
5620 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5621 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5622 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5623 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5624 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5625 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5626
5627 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5628 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5629 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5630 be handled by the string table functions.
5631
5632 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5633 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5634 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5635 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5636 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5637 types at all.
5638 [Steve Henson]
5639
5640 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5641 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5642 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5643 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5644 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5645
5646 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5647 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5648 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5649 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5650 [Bodo Moeller]
5651
5652 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5653 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5654 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5655 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5656 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5657 SHA1.
5658 [Andy Polyakov]
5659
5660 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5661 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5662 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5663 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5664 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5665 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5666 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5667 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5668
5669 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5670 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5671 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5672 [Steve Henson]
5673
5674 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5675 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5676 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5677 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5678 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5679 support to pkcs8 application.
5680 [Steve Henson]
5681
5682 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5683 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5684 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5685 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5686 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5687 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5688 [Bodo Moeller]
5689
5690 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5691 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5692 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5693 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5694 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5695 consistency.
5696 [Bodo Moeller]
5697
5698 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5699 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5700 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5701 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5702 example.
5703 [Steve Henson]
5704
5705 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5706 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5707 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5708 and any application specific purposes.
5709
5710 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5711 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5712 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5713 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5714 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5715 if the certificate is self signed.
5716 [Steve Henson]
5717
5718 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5719 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5720 [Steve Henson]
5721
5722 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5723 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5724 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5725 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5726 [Steve Henson]
5727
5728 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5729 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5730 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5731 Update documentation.
5732 [Steve Henson]
5733
5734 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5735 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5736 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5737 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5738 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5739 [Steve Henson]
5740
5741 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5742 for details.
5743 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5744
5745 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5746 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5747 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5748 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5749 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5750 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5751 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5752 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5753 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5754 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5755
5756 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5757
5758 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5759 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5760 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5761 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5762 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5763
5764 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5765 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5766 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5767 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5768 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5769 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5770 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5771 request additional information:
5772 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5773 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5774
5775 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5776 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5777 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5778 options.
5779
5780 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5781 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5782
5783 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
5784 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5785 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
5786
5787 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5788 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5789
5790 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5791 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5792 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5793 algorithm.
5794 [Steve Henson]
5795
5796 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5797 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5798 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5799
5800 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5801 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5802 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5803 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5804 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5805 included in OpenSSL.
5806 [Steve Henson]
5807
5808 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5809 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5810 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5811 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5812 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5813 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5814 [Bodo Moeller]
5815
5816 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5817 PKCS12 structure.
5818 [Steve Henson]
5819
5820 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5821 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5822 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5823 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5824 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5825 structure.
5826 [Steve Henson]
5827
5828 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5829 need initialising.
5830 [Steve Henson]
5831
5832 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5833 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5834 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5835 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5836 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5837 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5838 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5839 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5840 be maintained manually.
5841
5842 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5843 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5844 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5845 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5846 work because people forget to call this function]
5847 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5848 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5849 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5850 [Steve Henson]
5851
5852 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5853 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5854 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5855 should be discouraged from doing it.
5856 [Ben Laurie]
5857
5858 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5859 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5860 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5861 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5862 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5863 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5864 [Steve Henson]
5865
5866 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5867 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5868 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5869
5870 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5871 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5872 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5873
5874 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5875 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5876 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5877 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5878 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5879 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5880
5881 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5882 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5883 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5884
5885 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5886 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5887 and vice versa.
5888
5889 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5890 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5891 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5892 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5893 [Steve Henson]
5894
5895 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5896 [Steve Henson]
5897
5898 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5899 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5900 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5901 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5902 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5903 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5904 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5905 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5906 keys so we should be OK.
5907
5908 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5909 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5910 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5911 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5912 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5913 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5914 stay in the name of compatibility.
5915
5916 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5917 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5918 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5919
5920 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5921 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5922 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5923 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5924 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5925 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5926 supplied key).
5927 [Steve Henson]
5928
5929 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5930 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5931 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5932 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5933 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5934 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5935 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5936 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5937 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5938 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5939 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5940 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5941 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5942 [Steve Henson]
5943
5944 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5945 [Steve Henson]
5946
5947 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5948 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5949 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5950 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5951 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5952 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5953 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5954 openssl verify ss.pem
5955 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5956 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5957 is OK.
5958 [Steve Henson]
5959
5960 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5961 (and add it to external session representation).
5962 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5963 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5964 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5965 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5966 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5967 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5968 security holes.
5969 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5970
5971 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5972 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5973 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5974 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5975
5976 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5977 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5978 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5979 [Steve Henson]
5980
5981 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5982 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5983 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5984 code.
5985 [Steve Henson]
5986
5987 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5988 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5989 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5990
5991 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5992 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5993 certificate auxiliary information.
5994 [Steve Henson]
5995
5996 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5997 the 'enc' command.
5998 [Steve Henson]
5999
6000 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6001 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6002 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6003 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6004 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6005 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6006 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6007 [Richard Levitte]
6008
6009 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6010 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6011 [Steve Henson]
6012
6013 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6014 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6015 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6016 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6017 [Steve Henson]
6018
6019 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6020 [Steve Henson]
6021
6022 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6023 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6024 [Steve Henson]
6025
6026 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6027 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6028 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6029 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6030 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6031 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6032 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6033 using the new 'x509' options.
6034
6035 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6036 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6037 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6038 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6039 for all purposes.
6040 [Steve Henson]
6041
6042 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6043 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6044 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6045 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6046 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6047 [Mark Cox]
6048
6049 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6050 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6051 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6052 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6053 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6054 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6055 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6056 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6057 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6058 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6059 [Steve Henson]
6060
6061 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6062 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6063 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6064 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6065 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6066 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6067 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6068 [Steve Henson]
6069
6070 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6071 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6072 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6073 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6074 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6075 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6076 openssl.cnf for more info.
6077 [Steve Henson]
6078
6079 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6080 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6081 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6082 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6083 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6084 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6085 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6086 md should be large enough anyway.
6087 [Bodo Moeller]
6088
6089 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6090 for handling the random seed file.
6091
6092 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6093 ca,
6094 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6095 s_client,
6096 s_server,
6097 x509 (when signing).
6098 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6099 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6100 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6101
6102 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6103 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6104 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6105 that support '-rand'.
6106 [Bodo Moeller]
6107
6108 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6109 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6110 [Bodo Moeller]
6111
6112 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6113 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6114 [Bill Perry]
6115
6116 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6117 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6118 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6119 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6120 is suitable.
6121 [Steve Henson]
6122
6123 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6124 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6125 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6126 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6127 [Steve Henson]
6128
6129 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6130 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6131 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6132 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6133 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6134 print out all the purposes.
6135 [Steve Henson]
6136
6137 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6138 functions.
6139 [Steve Henson]
6140
6141 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6142 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6143 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6144 single function call.
6145 [Steve Henson]
6146
6147 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6148 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6149 [Andy Polyakov]
6150
6151 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6152 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6153 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6154 [Steve Henson]
6155
6156 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6157 when producing the local key id.
6158 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6159
6160 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6161 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6162 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6163 "server.pem".
6164 [Steve Henson]
6165
6166 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6167 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6168 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6169 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6170 [Steve Henson]
6171
6172 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6173 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6174 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6175 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6176
6177 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6178 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6179 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6180 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6181
6182 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6183 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6184 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6185 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6186 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6187 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6188 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6189 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6190 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6191 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6192 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6193 trivial: move one line.
6194 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6195
6196 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6197 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6198 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6199 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6200 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6201 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6202 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6203 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6204 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6205 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6206 with an event loop for example.
6207 [Steve Henson]
6208
6209 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6210 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6211 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6212 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6213 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6214 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6215 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6216 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6217 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6218 [Steve Henson]
6219
6220 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6221 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6222 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6223 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6224 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6225 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6226 [Steve Henson]
6227
6228 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6229 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6230 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6231 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6232
6233 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6234 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6235 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6236 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6237 key generation.
6238 [Steve Henson]
6239
6240 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6241 (still largely untested)
6242 [Bodo Moeller]
6243
6244 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6245 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6246 [Steve Henson]
6247
6248 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6249 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6250 [Steve Henson]
6251
6252 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6253 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6254 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6255 [Bodo Moeller]
6256
6257 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6258 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6259 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6260 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6261 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6262 [Steve Henson]
6263
6264 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6265 [Andy Polyakov]
6266
6267 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6268 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6269 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6270 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6271 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6272 in ca.
6273 [Steve Henson]
6274
6275 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6276 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6277 1.OU="Unit name 1"
6278 2.OU="Unit name 2"
6279 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6280 [Steve Henson]
6281
6282 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6283 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6284 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6285 are otherwise ignored at present.
6286 [Steve Henson]
6287
6288 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6289 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6290 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6291 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6292 copied until the next read.
6293 [Steve Henson]
6294
6295 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6296 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6297 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6298 [Steve Henson]
6299
6300 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6301 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6302 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6303 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6304 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6305 associated functions.
6306 [Steve Henson]
6307
6308 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6309 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6310 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6311 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6312 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6313 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6314 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6315 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6316 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6317 memory BIOs.
6318 [Steve Henson]
6319
6320 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6321 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6322 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6323 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6324 [Bodo Moeller]
6325
6326 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6327 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6328 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6329 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6330 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6331 functionality.
6332 [Steve Henson]
6333
6334 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6335 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6336 under Win32.
6337 [Steve Henson]
6338
6339 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6340 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6341 extensions to be obtained and added.
6342 [Steve Henson]
6343
6344 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6345 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6346 [Bodo Moeller]
6347
6348 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6349
6350 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6352
6353 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6354 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6355
6356 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6357 program.
6358 [Steve Henson]
6359
6360 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6361 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6362 DH parameters contain its length).
6363
6364 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6365 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6366 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6367 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6368 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6369 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6370 utter importance to use
6371 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6372 or
6373 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6374 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6375 attacks may become possible!
6376 [Bodo Moeller]
6377
6378 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6379 [Bodo Moeller]
6380
6381 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6382 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6383 [Steve Henson]
6384
6385 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6386 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6387 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6388 or long name.
6389 [Steve Henson]
6390
6391 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6392 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6393 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6394 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6395 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6396 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6397 private key operations.
6398 [Steve Henson]
6399
6400 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6401 [Andy Polyakov]
6402
6403 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6404 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6405 to
6406 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6407 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6408 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6409 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6410 the password callback is called.
6411 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6412
6413 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6414
6415 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6416 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6417 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6418 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6419 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6420 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6421 this will work.
6422
6423 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6424 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6425 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6426 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6427 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6428 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6429 [Bodo Moeller]
6430
6431 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6432 [Andy Polyakov]
6433
6434 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6435 delete an unused file.
6436 [Ulf Möller]
6437
6438 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6439 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6440 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6441 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6442 [Steve Henson]
6443
6444 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6445 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6446 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6447 of an error.
6448 [Bodo Moeller]
6449
6450 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6451 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6452 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6453
6454 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6455 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6456 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6457 comparison" warnings.
6458 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6459 [Steve Henson]
6460
6461 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6462 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6463 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6464 [Steve Henson]
6465
6466 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6467 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6468
6469 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6470 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6471
6472 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6473 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6474 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6475
6476 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6477 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6478 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6479 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6480 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6481 this bug.
6482 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6483
6484 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6485 The interface is as follows:
6486 Applications can use
6487 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6488 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6489 "off" is now the default.
6490 The library internally uses
6491 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6492 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6493 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6494
6495 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6496 even the default) are now avoided.
6497
6498 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6499 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6500 than just having a counter.
6501
6502 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6503
6504 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6505 extensions.
6506 [Bodo Moeller]
6507
6508 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6509 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6510 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6511 Initial "mode" flags are:
6512
6513 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6514 a single record has been written.
6515 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6516 retries use the same buffer location.
6517 (But all of the contents must be
6518 copied!)
6519 [Bodo Moeller]
6520
6521 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6522 worked.
6523
6524 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6525 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6526
6527 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6528 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6529 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6530 [Steve Henson]
6531
6532 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6533 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6534 test programs.
6535 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6536
6537 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6538 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6539 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6540 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6541 point to the end.
6542 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6543 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6544
6545 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6546 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6547 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6548 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6549 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6550 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6551 [Steve Henson]
6552
6553 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6554 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6555 necessary function names.
6556 [Steve Henson]
6557
6558 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6559 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6560 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6561 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6562 [Bodo Moeller]
6563
6564 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6565 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6566 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6567 [Steve Henson]
6568
6569 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6570 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6571 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6572 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6573 such programs?)
6574 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6575 need locks.
6576 [Bodo Moeller]
6577
6578 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6579 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6580 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6581 [Bodo Moeller]
6582
6583 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6584 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6585 appropriate.
6586 [Bodo Moeller]
6587
6588 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6589 for the encoded length.
6590 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6591
6592 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6593 [Steve Henson]
6594
6595 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6596 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6597 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6598 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6599 [Steve Henson]
6600
6601 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6602 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6603 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6604
6605 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6606 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6607 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6608 unusual formatting.
6609 [Steve Henson]
6610
6611 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6612 to use the new extension code.
6613 [Steve Henson]
6614
6615 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6616 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6617 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6618 constant.
6619 [Steve Henson]
6620
6621 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6622 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6623 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6624 [Bodo Moeller]
6625
6626 #if 0
6627 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6628 [Ben Laurie]
6629 #else
6630 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6631 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6632 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6633 #endif
6634
6635 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6636 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6637 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6638 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6639 [Ben Laurie]
6640
6641 *) DES library cleanups.
6642 [Ulf Möller]
6643
6644 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6645 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6646 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6647 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6648 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6649 of v2.0.
6650 [Steve Henson]
6651
6652 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6653 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6654 [Bodo Moeller]
6655
6656 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6657 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6658 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6659 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6660 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6661 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6662 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6663 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6664 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6665 [Steve Henson]
6666
6667 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6668 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6669 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6670 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6671 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6672 value doesn't matter.
6673 [Steve Henson]
6674
6675 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6676 support mutable.
6677 [Ben Laurie]
6678
6679 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6680 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6681 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6682 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6683
6684 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6685 [Ulf Möller]
6686
6687 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6688 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6689 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6690
6691 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6692 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6693
6694 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6695 [Ben Laurie]
6696
6697 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6698 [Ben Laurie]
6699
6700 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6701 [Ben Laurie]
6702
6703 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6704 [Bodo Moeller]
6705
6706
6707 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6708
6709 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6710
6711 *) Updated some demos.
6712 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6713
6714 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6715 [Wu Zhigang]
6716
6717 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6718 [Steve Henson]
6719
6720 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6721 [Steve Henson]
6722
6723 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6724 instead of using a fixed path.
6725 [Bodo Moeller]
6726
6727 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6728 [Andy Polyakov]
6729
6730 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6731 [Richard Levitte]
6732
6733
6734 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6735
6736 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6737 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6738 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6739
6740 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6741 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6742 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6743 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6744 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6745 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6746 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6747 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6748 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6749 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6750 [Steve Henson]
6751
6752 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6753 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6754 [Steve Henson]
6755
6756 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6757 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6758 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6759 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6760 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6761
6762 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6763 [Bodo Moeller]
6764
6765 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6766 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6767 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6768 [Steve Henson]
6769
6770 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6771 [Ben Laurie]
6772
6773 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6774 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6775 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6776 key elements as negative integers.
6777 [Steve Henson]
6778
6779 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6780 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6781
6782 *) VMS support.
6783 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6784
6785 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6786 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6787 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6788 [Steve Henson]
6789
6790 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6791 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6792 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6793 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6794 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6795 [Bodo Moeller]
6796
6797 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6798 [Ulf Möller]
6799
6800 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6801 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6802 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6804
6805 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6806 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6807 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6808
6809 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6810 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6811 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6812 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6813 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6814 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6815 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6816 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6817 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6818
6819 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6820 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6821 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6822 does not influence s as it used to.
6823
6824 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6825 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6826 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6827 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6828 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6829 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6830 [Bodo Moeller]
6831
6832 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6833 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6834 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6835 key type.
6836 [Steve Henson]
6837
6838 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6839 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6840 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6841 and 'x509').
6842 [Steve Henson]
6843
6844 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6845 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6846 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6847 extension option.
6848 [Steve Henson]
6849
6850 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6851 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6852 [Ben Laurie]
6853
6854 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6855 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6856
6857 *) Support Mingw32.
6858 [Ulf Möller]
6859
6860 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6861 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6862
6863 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6864 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6865
6866 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6867 [Ulf Möller]
6868
6869 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6870 [Anonymous]
6871
6872 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6874
6875 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6876 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6877 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6878 DER-encoded.)
6879 [Bodo Moeller]
6880
6881 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6882 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6883 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6884 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6885 now it really counts the depth.
6886 [Bodo Moeller]
6887
6888 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6889 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6890 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6891 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6892 didn't match the private key).
6893
6894 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6895 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6896 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6897 [Bodo Moeller]
6898
6899 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6900 [Ulf Möller]
6901
6902 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6903 David Harris.
6904 [Bodo Moeller]
6905
6906 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6907 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6908 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6909 [Bodo Moeller]
6910
6911 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6912 [Bodo Moeller]
6913
6914 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6915 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6916 such as /usr/local/bin.
6917 [Bodo Moeller]
6918
6919 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6920 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6921
6922 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6923 [Ulf Möller]
6924
6925 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6926 extension adding in x509 utility.
6927 [Steve Henson]
6928
6929 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6930 [Ulf Möller]
6931
6932 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6933 prototypes.
6934 [Steve Henson]
6935
6936 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6937 [Ulf Möller]
6938
6939 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6940 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6941 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6942 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6943 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6944 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6945 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6946 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6947 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6948 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6949 [Steve Henson]
6950
6951 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6952 [Bodo Moeller]
6953
6954 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6955 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6956 [Bodo Moeller]
6957
6958 *) Fix some race conditions.
6959 [Bodo Moeller]
6960
6961 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6962 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6963 [Steve Henson]
6964
6965 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6966 [Ulf Möller]
6967
6968 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6969 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6970 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6971 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6972
6973 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6974 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6975
6976 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6977 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6978 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6979
6980 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6981 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6982
6983 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6984 [Ulf Möller]
6985
6986 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6987 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6988
6989 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6990 [Ulf Möller]
6991
6992 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6993 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6994
6995 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6996 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6997 [Steve Henson]
6998
6999 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7000 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7001 [Ben Laurie]
7002
7003 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7004 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7005 [Steve Henson]
7006
7007 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7008 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7009 [Steve Henson]
7010
7011 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7012 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7013 [Steve Henson]
7014
7015 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7016 support typesafe stack.
7017 [Steve Henson]
7018
7019 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7020 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7021
7022 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7023 old X509V3 handling code.
7024 [Steve Henson]
7025
7026 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7027 [Ulf Möller]
7028
7029 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7030 [Bodo Moeller]
7031
7032 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7033 [Ben Laurie]
7034
7035 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7036 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7037
7038 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7039 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7040 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7041 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7042 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7043 [Ben Laurie]
7044
7045 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7046 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7047 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7048 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7049 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7050
7051 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7052 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7053 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7054 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7055
7056 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7057 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7058 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7059 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7060
7061 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7062 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7063 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7064 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7065 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7066 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7067 [Bodo Moeller]
7068
7069 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7070 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7071 [Bodo Moeller]
7072
7073 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7074 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7075 [Ulf Möller]
7076
7077 *) Tweaks to Configure
7078 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7079
7080 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7081 yet...
7082 [Steve Henson]
7083
7084 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7085 [Ulf Möller]
7086
7087 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7088 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7089 [Ulf Möller]
7090
7091 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7092 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7093 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7094 [Bodo Moeller]
7095
7096 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7097 [Bodo Moeller]
7098
7099 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7100 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7101 [Steve Henson]
7102
7103 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7104 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7105 to library startup routines.
7106 [Steve Henson]
7107
7108 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7109 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7110 codes along the way.
7111 [Steve Henson]
7112
7113 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7114 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7115 objects to objects.h
7116 [Steve Henson]
7117
7118 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7119 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7120 [Steve Henson]
7121
7122 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7123 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7124
7125 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7126 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7127 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7128
7129 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7130 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7131 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7132
7133 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7134 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7135 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7136
7137
7138 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7139
7140 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7141 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7142 [Ben Laurie]
7143
7144 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7145 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7146 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7147 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7148 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7149
7150 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7151 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7152 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7153 document.
7154 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7155
7156 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7157 Malloc, Free.
7158 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7159
7160 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7161 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7162
7163 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7164 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7165 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7166 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7167
7168 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7169 [Ben Laurie]
7170
7171 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7172 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7173 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7174 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7175 [Steve Henson]
7176
7177 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7178 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7179 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7180 [Steve Henson]
7181
7182 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7183 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7184 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7185 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7186 installed as `perl').
7187 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7188
7189 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7190 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7191
7192 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7193 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7194 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7195 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7196 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7197 [Steve Henson]
7198
7199 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7200 [Ben Laurie]
7201
7202 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7203 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7204 is horrible: I feel ill....
7205 [Steve Henson]
7206
7207 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7208 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7209 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7210 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7211 [Steve Henson]
7212
7213 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7214 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7215
7216 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7217 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7218 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7219 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7220
7221 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7222 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7223 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7224 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7225 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7226 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7227 openssl_bio.xs.
7228 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7229
7230 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7231 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7232
7233 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7234 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7235
7236 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7237 [Ben Laurie]
7238
7239 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7240 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7241 in CRLs.
7242 [Steve Henson]
7243
7244 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7245 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7246 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7247 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7248 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7249 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7250 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7251 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7252 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7253 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7254 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7255
7256 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7257 [Ben Laurie]
7258
7259 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7260 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7261 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7262 for linking it into DSOs.
7263 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7264
7265 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7266 Fixed.
7267 [Ben Laurie]
7268
7269 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7270 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7271 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7272 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7273 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7274 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7275
7276 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7277 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7278 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7279 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7280 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7281 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7282 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7283
7284 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7285 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7286 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7287 encryption.
7288 [Ben Laurie]
7289
7290 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7291 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7292 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7293 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7294 [Steve Henson]
7295
7296 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7297 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7298 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7299 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7300 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7301 field as blank.
7302 [Steve Henson]
7303
7304 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7305 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7306 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7307 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7308 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7309
7310 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7311 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7312 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7313
7314 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7315 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7316
7317 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7318 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7319 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7320 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7321 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7322 [Steve Henson]
7323
7324 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7325 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7326 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7327 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7328 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7329 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7330 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7331 [Ben Laurie]
7332
7333 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7334 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
7335 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7336 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7337 [Ben Laurie]
7338
7339 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7340 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7341
7342 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7343 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7344 [Steve Henson]
7345
7346 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7347 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7348 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7349 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7350 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7351 (e.g. s_server).
7352 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7353 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7354 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7355 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7356 no way to reconfigure them.
7357 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7358 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7359 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7360 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7361 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7362 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7363
7364 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7365 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7366 recognized by the users.
7367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7368
7369 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7370 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7371 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7372 already masked variable.
7373 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7374
7375 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7376 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7377
7378 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7379 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7380 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7381 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7382
7383 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7384 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7385 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7386
7387 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7388 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7389 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7390 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7391 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7392 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7393 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7394 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7395 now, too.
7396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7397
7398 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7399 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7400 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7401
7402 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7403 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7404 config file.
7405 [Steve Henson]
7406
7407 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7408 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7409
7410 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7411 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7412 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7413 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7414 [Ben Laurie]
7415
7416 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7417 [Steve Henson]
7418
7419 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7420 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7421
7422 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7423 [Ben Laurie]
7424
7425 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7426 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7427 [Steve Henson]
7428
7429 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7430 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7431 [Steve Henson]
7432
7433 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7434 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7435 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7436 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7437 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7438 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7439 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7440 Ben Laurie]
7441
7442 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7443 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7444
7445 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7446 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7447 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7448 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7449 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7450
7451 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7452 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7453 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7454 [Steve Henson]
7455
7456 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7457 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7458 an example.
7459 [Steve Henson]
7460
7461 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7462 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7463 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7464
7465 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7466 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7467 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7468 build instructions.
7469 [Steve Henson]
7470
7471 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7472 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7473 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7474 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7475 [Steve Henson]
7476
7477 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7478 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7479 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7480 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7481 [Ben Laurie]
7482
7483 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7484 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7485 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7486 so it wasn't spotted.
7487 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7488
7489 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7490 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7491 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7492 vectors if you have them.
7493 [Ben Laurie]
7494
7495 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7496 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7497 [Ben Laurie]
7498
7499 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7500 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7501 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7502 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7503 If you do a:
7504 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7505 it will update them.
7506 [Steve Henson]
7507
7508 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7509 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7510 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7511 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7512 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7513 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7514 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7515 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7516
7517 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7518 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7519 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7520 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7521 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7522 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7523 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7524 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7525 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7526 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7527
7528 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7529 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7530 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7531 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7532 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7533 [Steve Henson]
7534
7535 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7536 INTEGER code.
7537 [Steve Henson]
7538
7539 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7540 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7541
7542 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7543 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7544
7545 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7546 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7547 [Ben Laurie]
7548
7549 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7550 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7551
7552 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7553 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7554
7555 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7556 [Steve Henson]
7557
7558 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7559 few typos.
7560 [Steve Henson]
7561
7562 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7563 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7564 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7565 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7566
7567 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7568 [Steve Henson]
7569
7570 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7571 [Steve Henson]
7572
7573 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7574 [Steve Henson]
7575
7576 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7577 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7578 [Steve Henson]
7579
7580 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7581 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7582 CA extensions.
7583 [Steve Henson]
7584
7585 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7586 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7587 [Steve Henson]
7588
7589 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7590 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7591 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7592 [Steve Henson]
7593
7594 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7595 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7596 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7597 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7598 properly to be processed.
7599 [Steve Henson]
7600
7601 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7602 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7603 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7604 [Ben Laurie]
7605
7606 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7607 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7608
7609 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7610 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7611 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7612 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7613 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7614 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7615 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7616 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7617 or delete all the .err files.
7618 [Steve Henson]
7619
7620 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7621 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7622 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7623 to regenerate it if needed.
7624 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7625 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7626
7627 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7628 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7629
7630 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7631 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7632 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7633 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7634 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7635 [Steve Henson]
7636
7637 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7638 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7639
7640 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7641 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7642
7643 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7644 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7645 error, but didn't set one).
7646 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7647
7648 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7649 [Ben Laurie]
7650
7651 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7652 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7653 [Steve Henson]
7654
7655 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7656 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7657
7658 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7659 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7660 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7661 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7662 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7663 OID is not part of the table.
7664 [Steve Henson]
7665
7666 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7667 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7668 [Ben Laurie]
7669
7670 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7671 [Ben Laurie]
7672
7673 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7674 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7675 was "1234").
7676 [Steve Henson]
7677
7678 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7679 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7680
7681 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7682 NULL pointers.
7683 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7684
7685 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7686 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7687
7688 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7689 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7690
7691 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7692 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7693
7694 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7695 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7696 [Ben Laurie]
7697
7698 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7699 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7700 [Steve Henson]
7701
7702 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7703 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7704
7705 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7706 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7707
7708 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7709 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7710
7711 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7712 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7713
7714 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7715 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7716 unused in the certificate verification process.
7717 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7718
7719 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7720 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7721 [Steve Henson]
7722
7723 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7724 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7725 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7726
7727 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7728 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7729 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7730 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7731 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7732
7733 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7734 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7735 [Steve Henson]
7736
7737 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7738 [Steve Henson]
7739
7740 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7741 [Paul Sutton]
7742
7743 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7744 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7745
7746 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7747 [Ben Laurie]
7748
7749 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7750 [Ben Laurie]
7751
7752 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7753 [Ben Laurie]
7754
7755 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7756 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7757 other error libraries.
7758 [Steve Henson]
7759
7760 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7761 [Steve Henson]
7762
7763 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7764 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7765 be read in.
7766 [Steve Henson]
7767
7768 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7769 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7770 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7771 the new set of documenation files.
7772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7773
7774 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7775 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7776 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7777 number of arguments.
7778 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7779
7780 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7781 [Ben Laurie]
7782
7783 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7784 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7785 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7786
7787 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7788 [Ben Laurie]
7789
7790 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7791 nextstep
7792 ncr-scde
7793 unixware-2.0
7794 unixware-2.0-pentium
7795 sco5-cc.
7796 [Ben Laurie]
7797
7798 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7799 before they are needed.
7800 [Ben Laurie]
7801
7802 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7803 [Ben Laurie]
7804
7805
7806 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7807
7808 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7809 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7810 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7811
7812 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7813 [Paul Sutton]
7814
7815 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7816 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7817 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7818
7819 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7820 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7821 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7822
7823 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7824 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7825 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7826
7827 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7828 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7829
7830 *) Updated the README file.
7831 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7832
7833 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7834 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7835 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7836
7837 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7838 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7839 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7840
7841 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7842 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7843 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7844 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7845 o removed obsolete TODO file
7846 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7847 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7848
7849 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7850 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7851 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
7852 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
7853 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
7854 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7855 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7856
7857 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7858 [Mark J. Cox]
7859
7860 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7861 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7862 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7863 summer 1998.
7864 [The OpenSSL Project]
7865
7866
7867 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]

7876 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7877 [Eric A. Young]
7878
7879 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7880 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7881 available).
7882 [Eric A. Young]
7883
7884 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7885 binary structures
7886 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7887
7888 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7889 [Eric A. Young]
7890
7891 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7892 [Eric A. Young]
7893
7894 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7895 [Eric A. Young]
7896
7897 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7898 [Eric A. Young]
7899
7900 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7901 [Eric A. Young]
7902
7903 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7904 [Eric A. Young]
7905
7906 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7907 [Eric A. Young]
7908
7909 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7910 [Eric A. Young]
7911
7912 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7913 [Eric A. Young]
7914
7915 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7916 [Eric A. Young]

7919 [Eric A. Young]
7920
7921 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7922 [Eric A. Young]
7923
7924 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7925 [Eric A. Young]
7926
7927 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7928 [Eric A. Young]
7929
7930 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7931 [Eric A. Young]
7932
7933 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7934 [Eric A. Young]
7935
7936 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7937 [Eric A. Young]
7938
7939 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7940 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7941 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7942 [Eric A. Young]
7943
7944 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7945 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7946 [Eric A. Young]
7947
7948 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7949 [Eric A. Young]
7950
7951 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7952 [Eric A. Young]
7953
