4
5 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Experiemental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
8 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
9 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
10 [Steve Henson]
11
12 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
13 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
14 multi-process servers.
15 [Steve Henson]
16
17 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
18 a few changes are required:
19
20 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
21 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
22 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
23 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
24 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
25 [Steve Henson]
26
27 *) Experiemental password based recipient info support for CMS library:
28 implementing RFC3211.
29 [Steve Henson]
30
31 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
32 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
33 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
34 password based CMS).
35 [Steve Henson]
36
37 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
38 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
39 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
40 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
41 RAND_METHOD structure.
42 [Steve Henson]
43
44 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
45 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
46 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
47 whose return value is often ignored.
48 [Steve Henson]
49
50 Changes between 0.9.8m (?) and 1.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
51
52 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
53 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
54 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
55 [Steve Henson]
56
57 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
58 [Steve Henson]
59
60 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
61 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
62 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
63
64 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
65 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
66 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
67 [Steve Henson]
68
69 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
70 change when encrypting or decrypting.
71 [Bodo Moeller]
72
73 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
74 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
75 [Steve Henson]
76
77 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
78 some responders need this.
79 [Steve Henson]
80
81 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
82 correctly.
83 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
84
85 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
86 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
87 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
88 [Steve Henson]
89
90 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
91 [Steve Henson]
92
93 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
94 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
95 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
96 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
97 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
98 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
99 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
100 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
101 [Steve Henson]
102
103 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
104 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
105 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
106 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
107
108 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
109 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
110
111 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
112 be used on C++.
113 [Steve Henson]
114
115 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
116 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
117 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
118 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
119 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
120 attempting to work them out.
121 [Steve Henson]
122
123 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
124 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
125 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
126 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
127 [Steve Henson]
128
129 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
130 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
131 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
132 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
133 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
134 [Steve Henson]
135
136 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
137 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
138 you can do:
139
140 openssl sha256 foo
141
142 as well as:
143
144 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
145
146 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
147
148 [Steve Henson]
149
150 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
151 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
152
153 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
154 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
155
156 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
157 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
158 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
159 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
160 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
161 [Steve Henson]
162
163 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
164 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
165 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
166 [Steve Henson]
167
168 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
169 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
170 [Steve Henson]
171
172 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
173 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
174
175 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
176 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
177 [Steve Henson]
178
179 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
180 [Ben Laurie]
181
182 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
183 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
184 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
185 CONF_VALUE.
186 [Ben Laurie]
187
188 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
189 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
190 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
191 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
192 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
193 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
194 [Steve Henson]
195
196 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
197 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
198
199 This work was sponsored by Google.
200 [Steve Henson]
201
202 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
203 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
204 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
205 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
206 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
207 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
208 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
209 default.
210
211 This work was sponsored by Google.
212 [Steve Henson]
213
214 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
215
216 This work was sponsored by Google.
217 [Steve Henson]
218
219 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
220 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
221 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
222 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
223
224 This work was sponsored by Google.
225 [Steve Henson]
226
227 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
228 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
229 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
230 CRL functionality in future.
231
232 This work was sponsored by Google.
233 [Steve Henson]
234
235 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
236
237 This work was sponsored by Google.
238 [Steve Henson]
239
240 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
241 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
242
243 This work was sponsored by Google.
244 [Steve Henson]
245
246 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
247 and URI types are currently supported.
248
249 This work was sponsored by Google.
250 [Steve Henson]
251
252 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
253 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
254 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
255 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
256 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
257 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
258 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
259 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
260
261 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
262 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
263 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
264
265 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
266 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
267 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
268 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
269
270 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
271 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
272 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
273 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
274 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
275 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
276 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
277 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
278 of &errno.)
279 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
280
281 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
282 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
283 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
284
285 This work was sponsored by Google.
286 [Steve Henson]
287
288 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
289 [Ben Laurie]
290
291 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
292 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
293 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
294 [Ben Laurie]
295
296 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
297 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
298 [Nick Mathewson]
299
300 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
301 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
302 [Ben Laurie]
303
304 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
305 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
306 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
307 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
308 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
309 content types and variants.
310 [Steve Henson]
311
312 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
313 [Steve Henson]
314
315 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
316 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
317 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
318 files from the associated perl scripts.
319 [Steve Henson]
320
321 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
322 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
323 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
324
325 *) s390x assembler pack.
326 [Andy Polyakov]
327
328 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
329 "family."
330 [Andy Polyakov]
331
332 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
333 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
334 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
335 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
336 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
337 to use. For example, specify an option
338
339 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
340
341 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
342 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
343 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
344 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
345 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
346 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
347
348 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
349 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
350 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
351 return non-zero for success.
352
353 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
354 by using
355
356 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
357 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
358
359 where
360
361 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
362 void *arg;
363
364 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
365 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
366 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
367 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
368 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
369 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
370 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
371 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
372 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
373
374 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
375 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
376 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
377 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
378 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
379 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
380
381 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
382 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
383 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
384 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
385 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
386 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
387
388 [Bodo Moeller]
389
390 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
391 MAC.
392
393 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
394
395 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
396 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
397 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
398 supported.
399
400 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
401 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
402 SSL_SESSION.
403
404 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
405 protection in servers so again support should be possible
406 with no application modification.
407
408 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
409 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
410
411 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
412 or server extensions to be examined.
413
414 This work was sponsored by Google.
415 [Steve Henson]
416
417 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
418 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
419 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
420
421 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
422 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
423 ciphersuite support.
424 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
425
426 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
427 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
428 to output in BER and PEM format.
429 [Steve Henson]
430
431 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
432 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
433 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
434 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
435 -macopt options to dgst utility.
436 [Steve Henson]
437
438 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
439 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
440 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
441 utility.
442 [Steve Henson]
443
444 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
445 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
446 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
447 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
448 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
449 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
450 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
451 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
452 enabled again.
453
454 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
455 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
456 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
457 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
458
459 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
460 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
461 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
462 the default order.
463 [Bodo Moeller]
464
465 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
466 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
467 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
468 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
469 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
470 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
471 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
472 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
473 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
474
475 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
476 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
477 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
478 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
479 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
480 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
481 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
482 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
483 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
484 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
485 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
486 kinds of kludges.
487
488 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
489 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
490 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
491
492 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
493 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
494 "CAMELLIA256".
495 [Bodo Moeller]
496
497 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
498 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
499 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
500 [Nils Larsch]
501
502 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
503 it yet and it is largely untested.
504 [Steve Henson]
505
506 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
507 [Nils Larsch]
508
509 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
510 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
511 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
512 [Steve Henson]
513
514 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
515 [Andy Polyakov]
516
517 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
518 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
519 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
520 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
521 [Steve Henson]
522
523 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
524 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
525 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
526 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
527 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
528 [Steve Henson]
529
530 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.

534 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
535 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
536 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
537 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
538 [Steve Henson]
539
540 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
541 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
542 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
543 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
544 [Steve Henson]
545
546 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
547 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
548 [Steve Henson]
549
550 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
551 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
552 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
553 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
554 [Steve Henson]
555
556 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
557 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
558 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
559 [Steve Henson]
560
561 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
562 utility.
563 [Steve Henson]
564
565 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
566 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
567 [Steve Henson]
568
569 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
570 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
571 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
572 if necessary.
573 [Steve Henson]
574
575 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
576 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
577 to free up any added signature OIDs.
578 [Steve Henson]
579
580 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
581 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
582 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
583 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
584 [Steve Henson]
585
586 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
587 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
588 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
589 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
590 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
591 the array representation useful in a more general context.
592 [Douglas Stebila]
593
594 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
595 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
596 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
597 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
598 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
599
600 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
601 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
602 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
603 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
604 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
605 protocol).
606
607 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
608 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
609 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
610 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
611
612 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
613 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
614 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
615 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
616 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
617
618 aECDH - ECDH cert
619 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
620 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
621
622 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
623 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
624
625 [Bodo Moeller]
626
627 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
628 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
629 [Steve Henson]
630
631 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
632 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
633 [Steve Henson]
634
635 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
636 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
637 functional reference processing.
638 [Steve Henson]
639
640 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
641 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
642 process.
643 [Steve Henson]
644
645 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
646 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
647 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
648 [Steve Henson]
649
650 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
651 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
652 application to support multiple signers.
653 [Steve Henson]
654
655 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
656 digest MAC.
657 [Steve Henson]
658
659 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
660 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
661 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
662 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
663 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
664 [Steve Henson]
665
666 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
667 new API.
668 [Steve Henson]
669
670 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
671 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
672 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
673 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
674 a no op.
675 [Steve Henson]
676
677 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
678 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
679 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
680 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
681 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
682 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
683 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
684 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
685 [Steve Henson]
686
687 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
688 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
689 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
690 between digests and public key types.
691 [Steve Henson]
692
693 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
694 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
695 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
696 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
697 [Steve Henson]
698
699 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
700 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
701 key ASN1 method.
702 [Steve Henson]
703
704 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
705 [Steve Henson]
706
707 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
708 pkeyutl.
709 [Steve Henson]
710
711 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
712 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
713 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
714 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
715 pkey, genpkey.
716 [Steve Henson]
717
718 *) BeOS support.
719 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
720
721 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
722 manual pages.
723 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
724
725 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
726 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
727 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
728 functionality for RSA.
729 [Steve Henson]
730
731 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
732 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
733 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
734 [Steve Henson]
735
736 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
737 key API, doesn't do much yet.
738 [Steve Henson]
739
740 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
741 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
742 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
743 [Steve Henson]
744
745 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
746 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
747 [Douglas Stebila]
748
749 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
750 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
751 [Steve Henson]
752
753 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
754 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
755 type.
756 [Steve Henson]
757
758 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
759 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
760 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
761 structure.
762 [Steve Henson]
763
764 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
765 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
766 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
767 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
768 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
769 of public and private key structures.
770 [Steve Henson]
771
772 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
773 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
774 [Douglas Stebila]
775
776 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
777 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
778 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
779
780 New ciphersuites:
781 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
782 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
783
784 New functions:
785 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
786 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
787 SSL_get_psk_identity
788 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
789
790 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
791
792 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
793 and response verification functionality.
794 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
795
796 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
797 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
798 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
799 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
800 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
801 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
802 server_name extension.
803
804 New functions (subject to change):
805
806 SSL_get_servername()
807 SSL_get_servername_type()
808 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
809
810 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
811
812 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
813 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
814 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
815 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
816 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
817
818 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
819
820 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
821 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
822 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
823 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
824 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
825 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
826 option.
827
828 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
829
830 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
831 [Andy Polyakov]
832
833 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
834 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
835 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
836 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
837 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
838 [Andy Polyakov]
839
840 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
841 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
842 macro.
843 [Bodo Moeller]
844
845 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
846 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
847 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
848 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
849 [Andy Polyakov]
850
851 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
852 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
853 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
854 using the maximum available value.
855 [Steve Henson]
856
857 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
858 in addition to the text details.
859 [Bodo Moeller]
860
861 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
862 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
863 handle several customised structures at all.
864 [Steve Henson]
865
866 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
867 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
868 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
869 [Steve Henson]
870
871 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
872 [Steve Henson]
873
874 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
875 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
876 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
877 [Steve Henson]
878
879 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
880 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
881 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
882 [Nils Larsch]
883
884 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
885 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
886 all fields.
887 [Steve Henson]
888
889 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
890 [Steve Henson]
891
892 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
893 [NTT]
894
895 Changes between 0.9.8l (?) and 0.9.8m (?) [xx XXX xxxx]
896
897 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
898 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
899 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
900 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
901 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
902 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
903 [Steve Henson]
904
905 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
906 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
907 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
908 [Steve Henson]
909
910 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
911 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
912 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
913 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
914 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
915 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
916 CVE-2009-4355.
917 [Steve Henson]
918
919 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
920 connect (but not renegotiate) with servers which do not support RI.
921 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
922 [Steve Henson]
923
924 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
925 [Steve Henson]
926
927 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
928 a no_renegotiation alert as required by draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation.
929 Some renegotiating TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully
930 when they receive the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled
931 this alert and would hang waiting for a server hello which it will never
932 receive. Now we treat a received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal
933 error. This is because applications requesting a renegotiation might well
934 expect it to succeed and would have no code in place to handle the server
935 denying it so the only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
936 [Steve Henson]
937
938 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
939 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
940 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
941 [Steve Henson]
942
943 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
944 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
945 [Steve Henson]
946
947 *) Implement draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation-03. Re-enable
948 renegotiation but require the extension as needed. Unfortunately,
949 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION turns out to be a
950 bad idea. It has been replaced by
951 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
952 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
953 know what you are doing.
954 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
955
956 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
957 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
958 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
959 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
960 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
961 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
962 the handshake.
963 [Steve Henson]
964
965 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
966 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
967 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
968 correctly.
969 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
970
971 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
972 warnings in other configurations.
973 [Steve Henson]
974
975 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
976 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
977 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
978 systems need.
979 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
980
981 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
982 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
983 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
984
985 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
986 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
987 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
988 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
989 [Steve Henson]
990
991 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
992 and restored.
993 [Steve Henson]
994
995 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
996 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
997 clash.
998 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
999
1000 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1001 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1002 other than a simple chain.
1003 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1004
1005 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1006 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1007 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1008 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1009 [Steve Henson]
1010
1011 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1012 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1013 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1014 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1015 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1016 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1017 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1018 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1019 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1020
1021 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1022 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1023 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1024 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1025 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1026 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1027 (CVE-2009-1377)
1028 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1029
1030 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1031 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1032 [Daniel Mentz]
1033
1034 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1035 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1036
1037 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
1038 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1039
1040 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1041
1042 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1043 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1044 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1045 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1046 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1047 you're doing.

1050 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1051
1052 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1053 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1054 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1055 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1056
1057 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1058 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1059 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1060 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1061
1062 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1063 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1064 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1065 [Steve Henson]
1066
1067 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1068 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1069 level.
1070 [Steve Henson]
1071
1072 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1073 to handle some structures.
1074 [Steve Henson]
1075
1076 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1077 for a '\n'
1078 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1079
1080 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1081 [Matthieu Herrb]
1082
1083 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1084 [Steve Henson]
1085
1086 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1087 [Steve Henson]
1088
1089 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1090 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1091 chosen compiler.
1092 [Ben Laurie]
1093
1094 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1095
1096 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1097 (CVE-2008-5077).
1098 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1099
1100 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1101 [Ben Laurie]
1102
1103 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1104 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1105 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1106 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1107
1108 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1109 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1110
1111 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1112 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1113 [Bodo Moeller]
1114
1115 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1116 s_client and s_server.
1117 [Ben Laurie]
1118
1119 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1120 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1121
1122 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1123 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1124
1125 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1126 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1127 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1128 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1129 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1130 [Bodo Moeller]
1131
1132 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1133
1134 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1135 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1136 [PR #1679]
1137
1138 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1139 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1140 [Nagendra Modadugu]
1141
1142 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1143 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1144 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1145 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1146
1147 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1148 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1149
1150 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1151
1152 *) Various precautionary measures:
1153
1154 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1155
1156 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1157 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1158 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1159
1160 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1161 outside the expected range.
1162
1163 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1164 builds.
1165
1166 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1167
1168 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1169 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1170 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1171
1172 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1173 [Steve Henson]
1174
1175 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1176 [Huang Ying]
1177
1178 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1179
1180 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1181 [Steve Henson]
1182
1183 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1184 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1185 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1186
1187 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1188 [Steve Henson]
1189
1190 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1191 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1192 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1193 files.
1194 [Steve Henson]
1195
1196 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1197
1198 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1199 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1200 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1201 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1202
1203 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1204 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1205 [Joe Orton]
1206
1207 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1208
1209 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1210 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1211 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1212
1213 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1214
1215 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1216 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1217 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1218 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1219 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1220
1221 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1222 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1223 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1224 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1225 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1226 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1227 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1228
1229 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1230
1231 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1232 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1233 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1234 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1235 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1236
1237 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1238 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1239
1240 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1241 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1242 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1243 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1244 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1245
1246 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1247
1248 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1249 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1250 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1251 sets may exist with different names.
1252 [Steve Henson]
1253
1254 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1255 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1256 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1257 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1258 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1259 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1260 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1261 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1262 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1263 implementation.
1264 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1265
1266 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1267 implemention in the following ways:
1268
1269 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1270 hard coded.
1271
1272 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1273 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1274 ignored for embedded content.
1275
1276 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1277 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1278 [Steve Henson]
1279
1280 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1281 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1282 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1283 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1284
1285 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1286 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1287 [Steve Henson]
1288
1289 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1290 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1291 [Steve Henson]
1292
1293 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1294 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1295 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1296 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1297 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1298 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1299 data.
1300 [Steve Henson]
1301
1302 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1303 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1304 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1305
1306 *) Netware support:
1307
1308 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1309 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1310 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1311 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1312 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1313 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1314 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1315 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1316 platform
1317 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1318 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1319 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1320 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1321 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1322 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1323 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1324
1325 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1326 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1327 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1328 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1329 to s_client and s_server.
1330 [Steve Henson]
1331
1332 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1333
1334 *) Fix various bugs:
1335 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1336 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1337 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1338 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1339 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1340
1341 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1342
1343 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1344 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1345 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1346 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1347 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1348 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1349 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1350 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1351 [Andy Polyakov]
1352
1353 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1354 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1355 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1356 Steve Henson]
1357
1358 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1359 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1360 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1361 supported.
1362
1363 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1364 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1365 SSL_SESSION.
1366
1367 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1368 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1369 with no application modification.
1370
1371 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1372 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1373
1374 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1375 or server extensions to be examined.
1376
1377 This work was sponsored by Google.
1378 [Steve Henson]
1379
1380 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1381 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1382 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1383 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1384 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1385 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1386 server_name extension.
1387
1388 New functions (subject to change):
1389
1390 SSL_get_servername()
1391 SSL_get_servername_type()
1392 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
1393
1394 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1395
1396 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1397 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1398 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1399 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1400 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1401
1402 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1403
1404 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1405 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1406 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1407 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1408 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1409 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1410 option.
1411
1412 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1413
1414 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1415 [Steve Henson]
1416
1417 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1418 [Andy Polyakov]
1419
1420 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1421 (which previously caused an internal error).
1422 [Bodo Moeller]
1423
1424 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1425 [Ben Laurie]
1426
1427 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1428 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1429
1430 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1431 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1432 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1433
1434 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1435 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1436 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1437 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1438
1439 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1440 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1441 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1442 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1443
1444 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1445 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1446 information. For detailed background information, see
1447 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1448 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1449 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1450 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1451 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1452 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1453 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1454 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1455 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1456 remove a conditional branch.
1457
1458 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1459 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1460 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1461 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1462 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1463 remains as a deprecated alias.
1464
1465 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1466 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1467 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1468 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1469
1470 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1471 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1472 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1473 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1474 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1475 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1476 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1477 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1478
1479 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1480
1481 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1482 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1483 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1484 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1485 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1486 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1487 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1488 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1489 in a different context.
1490 [Bodo Moeller]
1491
1492 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1493 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1494 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1495 [Bodo Moeller]
1496
1497 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1498 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1499 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1500
1501 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1502
1503 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1504 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1505 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1506 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1507 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1508 [Victor Duchovni]
1509
1510 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1511 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1512 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1513 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1514 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1515 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1516 [Bodo Moeller]
1517
1518 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1519 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1520 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1521 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1522 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1523 [Bodo Moeller]
1524
1525 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1526 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1527
1528 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1529 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1530 Improve header file function name parsing.
1531 [Steve Henson]
1532
1533 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1534 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1535 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1536
1537 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1538
1539 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1540 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1541 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1542
1543 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1544 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1545
1546 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1547 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1548
1549 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1550 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1551 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1552
1553 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1554 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1555 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1556 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1557 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1558 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1559 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1560 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1561 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1562
1563 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1564 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1565 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1566 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1567 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1568
1569 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1570 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1571 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1572 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1573 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1574 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1575 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1576 multiple values to extend the available space.
1577
1578 [Bodo Moeller]
1579
1580 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1581
1582 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1583 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1584
1585 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1586 [Ben Laurie]
1587
1588 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1589 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1590 undesirable limitations.
1591 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1592
1593 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1594 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1595 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1596 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1597 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1598 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1599 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1600 [Bodo Moeller]
1601
1602 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1603
1604 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1605 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1606 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1607
1608 The latter two were purportedly from
1609 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1610 appear there.
1611
1612 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1613 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1614 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1615 [Bodo Moeller]
1616
1617 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1618 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1619 [Bodo Moeller]
1620
1621 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1622 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1623 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1624 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1625
1626 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1627 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1628 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1629 [NTT]
1630
1631 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1632 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1633 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1634 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1635 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1636 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1637 [Steve Henson]
1638
1639 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1640
1641 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1642 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1643 [Steve Henson]
1644
1645 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1646 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1647
1648 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1649 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1650 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1651 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1652 [Douglas Stebila]
1653
1654 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1655 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1656 [Steve Henson]
1657
1658 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1659 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1660 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1661 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1662 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1663 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1664 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1665 can't be loaded.
1666 [Steve Henson]
1667
1668 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1669 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1670 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1671 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1672 [Steve Henson]
1673
1674 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1675 under VC++ build system.
1676 [Steve Henson]
1677
1678 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1679 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1680 [Richard Levitte]
1681
1682 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1683
1684 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1685 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1686 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1687 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1688 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1689
1690 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1691 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1692 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1693
1694 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1695 [Steve Henson]
1696
1697 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1698 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1699 [Nils Larsch]
1700
1701 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1702 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1703
1704 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1705 [Nick Mathewson]
1706
1707 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1708 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1709
1710 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1711 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1712 [Steve Henson]
1713
1714 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1715 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1716 smime utility.
1717 [Steve Henson]
1718
1719 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1720
1721 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1722 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1723
1724 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1725 [Richard Levitte]
1726
1727 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1728 key into the same file any more.
1729 [Richard Levitte]
1730
1731 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1732 [Andy Polyakov]
1733
1734 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1735 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1736
1737 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1738 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1739 [Richard Levitte]
1740
1741 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1742 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1743 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1744 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1745 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1746 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1747
1748 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1749 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1750 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1751 [Steve Henson]
1752
1753 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1754 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1755 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1756 - add new function for parameter creation
1757 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1758 BN_BLINDING parameters
1759 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1760 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1761 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1762 threads.
1763 [Nils Larsch]
1764
1765 *) Add support for DTLS.
1766 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1767
1768 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1769 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1770 [Walter Goulet]
1771
1772 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1773 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1774 [Nils Larsch]
1775
1776 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1777 the apps/openssl applications.
1778 [Nils Larsch]
1779
1780 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1781 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1782 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1783 [Ben Laurie]
1784
1785 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1786 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1787
1788 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1789 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1790
1791 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1792 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1793 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1794 avoid this algorithm.)
1795
1796 [Bodo Moeller]
1797
1798 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1799 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1800 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1801 [Richard Levitte]
1802
1803 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1804 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1805 [Andy Polyakov]
1806
1807 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1808 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1809 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1810 pod file:
1811
1812 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1813
1814 The blank line is mandatory.
1815
1816 [Steve Henson]
1817
1818 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1819 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1820 sources.
1821 [Steve Henson]
1822
1823 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1824 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1825
1826 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1827 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1828 to support policy checking and print out.
1829 [Steve Henson]
1830
1831 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1832 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1833 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1834 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1835
1836 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1837 [Geoff Thorpe]
1838
1839 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1840 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1841
1842 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1843 implementation contributed by IBM.
1844 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1845
1846 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1847 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1848 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1849 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1850
1851 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1852 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1853
1854 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1855 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1856 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1857 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1858 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1859 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1860 [Steve Henson]
1861
1862 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1863 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1864 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1865 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1866 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1867 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1868 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1869 [Geoff Thorpe]
1870
1871 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1872 [Steve Henson]
1873
1874 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1875 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1876 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1877 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1878 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1879 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1880 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1881 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1882 [Steve Henson]
1883
1884 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1885 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1886 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1887 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1888 [Steve Henson]
1889
1890 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1891 syntax:
1892
1893 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1894 [Steve Henson]
1895
1896 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1897 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1898 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1899 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1900 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1901 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1902 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1903 [Geoff Thorpe]
1904
1905 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1906 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1907 [Geoff Thorpe]
1908
1909 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1910 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1911 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1912 [Steve Henson]
1913
1914 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1915 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1916 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1917 below).
1918 [Geoff Thorpe]
1919
1920 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1921 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1922 [Richard Levitte]
1923
1924 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1925 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1926 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1927 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1928 [Geoff Thorpe]
1929
1930 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1931 initialised value as BN_new().
1932 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1933
1934 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1935 [Steve Henson]
1936
1937 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1938 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1939 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1940 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1941 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1942 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1943 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1944 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1945 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1946 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1947 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1948 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1949 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1950 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1951 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1952
1953 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1954 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1955 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1956 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1957 [Geoff Thorpe]
1958
1959 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1960 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1961 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1962 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1963 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1964 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1965 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1966 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1967 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1968 [Geoff Thorpe]
1969
1970 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1971 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1972 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1973 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1974 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1975 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1976 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1977 [Geoff Thorpe]
1978
1979 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1980 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1981 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1982 these have been updated also.
1983 [Geoff Thorpe]
1984
1985 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1986 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1987 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1988 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1989 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1990 functions.
1991 [Steve Henson]
1992
1993 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1994 structure of type "other".
1995 [Steve Henson]
1996
1997 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1998 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1999 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2000 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2001 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2002 situation in the script.
2003 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2004
2005 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2006 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2007 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2008 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2009 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2010 used as premaster secret.
2011 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2012
2013 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2014 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2015 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2016
2017 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2018 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2019
2020 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2021 control of the error stack.
2022 [Richard Levitte]
2023
2024 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2025 [Richard Levitte]
2026
2027 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2028 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2029 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2030 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2031 [Richard Levitte]
2032
2033 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2034 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2035 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2036 [Richard Levitte]
2037
2038 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2039 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2040 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2041 a memory area.
2042 [Richard Levitte]
2043
2044 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2045 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2046 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2047 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2048 [Richard Levitte]
2049
2050 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2051 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2052 the following flags are defined:
2053
2054 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2055 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2056 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2057 number.
2058
2059 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2060 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2061 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2062 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2063 returns zero.
2064 [Richard Levitte]
2065
2066 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2067 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2068 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2069 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2070 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2071 [Richard Levitte]
2072
2073 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2074 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2075 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2076 [Richard Levitte]
2077
2078 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2079 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2080 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2081 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2082 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2083 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2084 [Richard Levitte]
2085
2086 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2087 req and dirName.
2088 [Steve Henson]
2089
2090 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2091 [Steve Henson]
2092
2093 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2094 [Steve Henson]
2095
2096 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2097 [Steve Henson]
2098
2099 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2100 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2101 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2102 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2103 default implementation more easily.
2104 [Geoff Thorpe]
2105
2106 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2107 in config files.
2108 [Steve Henson]
2109
2110 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2111 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2112 [Richard Levitte]
2113
2114 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2115 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2116 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2117 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2118
2119 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2120 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2121 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2122 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2123 [Steve Henson]
2124
2125 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2126 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2127 to do it.
2128 [Richard Levitte]
2129
2130 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2131 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2132 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2133 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2134 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2135 scalar * generator).
2136 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2137
2138 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2139 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2140 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2141 correctly.
2142 [Steve Henson]
2143
2144 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2145 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2146 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2147 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2148 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2149 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2150 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2151 linker additions, eg;
2152 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2153 [Geoff Thorpe]
2154
2155 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2156 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2157 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2158 [Geoff Thorpe]
2159
2160 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2161 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2162 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2163 via PR#459)
2164 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2165
2166 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2167 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2168 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2169 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2170 [Geoff Thorpe]
2171
2172 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2173 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2174 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2175 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2176 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2177 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2178 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2179 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2180 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2181 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2182
2183 Example for using the new callback interface:
2184
2185 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2186 void *my_arg = ...;
2187 BN_GENCB my_cb;
2188
2189 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2190
2191 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2192 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2193 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2194 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2195 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2196 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2197 */
2198
2199 [Geoff Thorpe]
2200
2201 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2202 available to TLS with the number defined in
2203 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2204 [Richard Levitte]
2205
2206 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2207 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2208
2209 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2210 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2211 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2212 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2213
2214 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2215 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2216
2217 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2218 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2219 well.
2220 [Richard Levitte]
2221
2222 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2223 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2224 [Richard Levitte]
2225
2226 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2227 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2228 and a macro that behave like
2229 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2230
2231 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2232 [Nils Larsch]
2233
2234 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2235 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2236 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2237 if applicable.
2238 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2239
2240 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2241 [Bodo Moeller]
2242
2243 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2244 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2245 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2246 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2247 directory engines/.
2248 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2249 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2250 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2251 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2252 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2253 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2254 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2255 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2256
2257 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2258 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2259 [Richard Levitte]
2260
2261 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2262 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2263
2264 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2265 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2266 files while avoiding the low level API.
2267
2268 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2269 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2270 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2271 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2272
2273 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2274 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2275 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2276 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2277 instead of the low level API.
2278 [Steve Henson]
2279
2280 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2281 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2282 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2283 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2284 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2285 PKCS#7 code.
2286
2287 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2288 down to the template encoder.
2289 [Steve Henson]
2290
2291 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2292 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2293 [Bodo Moeller]
2294
2295 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2296 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2297 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2298 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2299
2300 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2301 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2302
2303 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2304 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2305
2306 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2307 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2308 [Bodo Moeller]
2309
2310 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2311 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2312 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2313 [Bodo Moeller]
2314
2315 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2316 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2317
2318 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2319 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2320
2321 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2322 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2323 New EC_METHOD:
2324
2325 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2326
2327 New API functions:
2328
2329 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2330 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2331 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2332 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2333 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2334 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2335
2336 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2337 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2338 enable it).
2339
2340 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2341 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2342 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2343 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2344 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2345 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2346 various internal method names.)
2347
2348 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2349 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2350
2351 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2352 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2353
2354 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2355 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2356
2357 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2358 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2359 methods are undefined.
2360
2361 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2362 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2363
2364 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2365 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2366 length of the modulus.
2367
2368 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2369 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2370
2371 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2372 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2373
2374 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2375 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2376
2377 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2378 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2379 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2380
2381 BN_GF2m_add
2382 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2383 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2384 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2385 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2386 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
2387 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2388 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2389 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2390 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2391
2392 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2393 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2394
2395 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2396 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2397 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2398 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2399 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2400 where
2401 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2402 This applies to the following functions:
2403
2404 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
2405 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
2406 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
2407 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2408 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2409 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
2410 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2411 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2412 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2413 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2414
2415 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2416
2417 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2418 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2419
2420 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2421
2422 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2423 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2424 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2425 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2426 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2427
2428 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2429 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2430
2431 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2432 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2433 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2434
2435 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2436 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2437
2438 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2439 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2440 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2441 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2442 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2443
2444 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2445 functions
2446 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2447 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2448 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2449 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2450 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2451 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2452 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2453 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2454 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2455 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2456 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2457 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2458
2459 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2460 functions
2461 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
2462 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2463 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2464 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2465 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2466
2467 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2468 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2469 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2470 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2471
2472 *) Add functions
2473 EC_POINT_point2bn()
2474 EC_POINT_bn2point()
2475 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2476 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2477 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2478 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2479 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2480
2481 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2482 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2483 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2484 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2485 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2486 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2487 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2488 adding different types of curves.
2489 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2490
2491 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2492 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2493 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2494 [Bodo Moeller]
2495
2496 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2497 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2498
2499 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2500 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2501 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2502 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2503
2504 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2505
2506 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2507 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2508
2509 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2510 library. Most notably,
2511 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2512 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2513 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2514 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2515 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2516 extracted before the specific public key;
2517 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2518 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2519
2520 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2521 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2522 function
2523 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2524 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2525 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2526 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2527 accessed via
2528 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2529 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2530 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2531
2532 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2533 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2534 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2535 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2536 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2537 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2538 differing sizes.
2539 [Richard Levitte]
2540
2541 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2542
2543 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2544 sensitive data.
2545 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2546
2547 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2548 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2549 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2550 [Bodo Moeller]
2551
2552 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2553 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2554 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2555 [Victor Duchovni]
2556
2557 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2558 [Steve Henson]
2559
2560 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2561 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2562 [Steve Henson]
2563
2564 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2565 run algorithm test programs.
2566 [Steve Henson]
2567
2568 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2569 [Steve Henson]
2570
2571 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2572 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2573 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2574 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2575 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2576 [Bodo Moeller]
2577
2578 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2579 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2580 [Steve Henson]
2581
2582 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2583
2584 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2585 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2586 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2587
2588 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2589 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2590
2591 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2592 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2593
2594 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2595 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2596 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2597
2598 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2599 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2600 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2601 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2602 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2603 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2604 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2605 [Bodo Moeller]
2606
2607 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2608
2609 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2610 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2611
2612 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2613 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2614 undesirable limitations.
2615 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2616
2617 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2618
2619 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2620 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2621 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2622
2623 The latter two were purportedly from
2624 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2625 appear there.
2626
2627 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2628 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2629 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2630 [Bodo Moeller]
2631
2632 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2633 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2634 [Bodo Moeller]
2635
2636 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2637
2638 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2639 module in FIPS mode.
2640 [Steve Henson]
2641
2642 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2643 [Steve Henson]
2644
2645 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2646 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2647 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2648 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2649 [Steve Henson]
2650
2651 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2652
2653 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2654 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2655 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2656 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2657 the difference induced by this change.
2658 [Andy Polyakov]
2659
2660 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2661
2662 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2663 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2664 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2665 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2666 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2667
2668 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2669 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2670 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2671
2672 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2673 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2674 [Steve Henson]
2675
2676 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2677 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2678 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2679 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2680 biased k.)
2681 [Bodo Moeller]
2682
2683 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2684 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2685 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2686 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2687 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2688
2689 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2690 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2691 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2692 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2693 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2694 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2695
2696 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2697
2698 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2699 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2700 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2701 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2702 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2703 [Bodo Moeller]
2704
2705 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2706 clients need.
2707 [Steve Henson]
2708
2709 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2710 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2711 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2712 [Steve Henson]
2713
2714 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2715 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2716 structures constant.
2717 [Steve Henson]
2718
2719 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2720
2721 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2722 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2723
2724 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2725 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2726 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2727 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2728 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2729 some needed definitions.
2730 [Steve Henson]
2731
2732 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2733 [Ulf Möller]
2734
2735 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2736 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2737 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2738 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2739 [Richard Levitte]
2740
2741 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2742
2743 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2744 server and client random values. Previously
2745 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2746 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2747
2748 This change has negligible security impact because:
2749
2750 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2751 data.
2752
2753 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2754 handshake.
2755
2756 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2757 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2758 values.
2759
2760 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2761 to our attention.
2762
2763 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2764
2765 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2766 [Ulf Möller]
2767
2768 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2769 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2770 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2771
2772 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2773 [Steve Henson]
2774
2775 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2776 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2777 [Andy Polyakov]
2778
2779 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2780 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2781 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2782
2783 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2784 [Steve Henson]
2785
2786 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2787 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2788 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2789 certificates.
2790 [Steve Henson]
2791
2792 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2793 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2794 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2795 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2796
2797 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2798 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2799 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2800 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2801 been given)
2802 [Richard Levitte]
2803
2804 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2805
2806 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2807 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2808 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2809 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2810 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2811 [Steve Henson]
2812
2813 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2814 [Steve Henson]
2815
2816 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2817 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2818
2819 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2820 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2821 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2822 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2823 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2824 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2825 rather than being initialized to 1.
2826 [Steve Henson]
2827
2828 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2829
2830 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2831 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2832 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2833
2834 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2835 (CVE-2004-0112)
2836 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2837
2838 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2839 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2840 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2841 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2842 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2843 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2844 [Richard Levitte]
2845
2846 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2847 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2848 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2849 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2850 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2851 for these cases.
2852 [Steve Henson]
2853
2854 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2855 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2856 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2857 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2858 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2859 [Steve Henson]
2860
2861 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2862 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2863 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2864 < 0.9.7.
2865 [Steve Henson]
2866
2867 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2868 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2869
2870 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2871 [Steve Henson]
2872
2873 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2874
2875 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2876
2877 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2878 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2879
2880 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2881
2882 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2883 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2884
2885 [Steve Henson]
2886
2887 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2888 exiting on the first error in a request.
2889 [Steve Henson]
2890
2891 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2892 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2893 specifications.
2894 [Steve Henson]
2895
2896 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2897 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2898 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2899 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2900
2901 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2902 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2903 [Richard Levitte]
2904
2905 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2906 blocks during encryption.
2907 [Richard Levitte]
2908
2909 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2910 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2911 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2912 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2913 certain size.
2914 [Steve Henson]
2915
2916 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2917 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2918 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2919 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2920 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2921 parser.
2922 [Steve Henson]
2923
2924 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2925
2926 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2927 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2928 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2929 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2930 [Bodo Moeller]
2931
2932 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2933 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2934 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2935 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2936 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2937
2938 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2939 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2940 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2941 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2942 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2943 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2944 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2945 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2946 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2947 [Bodo Moeller]
2948
2949 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2950 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2951 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2952 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2953 [Geoff Thorpe]
2954
2955 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2956 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2957 [Ulf Moeller]
2958
2959 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2960
2961 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2962 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2963 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2964 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2965 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2966
2967 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2968 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2969 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2970
2971 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2972 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2973 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2974 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2975 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2976
2977 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2978 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2979 used by default when no-err is given.
2980 [Richard Levitte]
2981
2982 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2983 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2984
2985 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2986 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2987 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2988 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2989 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2990
2991 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2992 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2993 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2994 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2995
2996 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2997
2998 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2999
3000 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3001
3002 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3003 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3004 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3005 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3006 root is omitted).
3007 [Steve Henson]
3008
3009 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3010 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3011
3012 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3013 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3014 [Steve Henson]
3015
3016 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3017 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3018 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3019 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3020 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3021
3022 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3023 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3024 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3025 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3026 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3027 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3028 followup to PR #377.
3029 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3030
3031 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3032 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3033 [Andy Polyakov]
3034
3035 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3036 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3037 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3038 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3039
3040 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3041
3042 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3043 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
3044
3045 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3046 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3047 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3048 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3049 client and server.
3050 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3051 PR #377.
3052 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3053
3054 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3055 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3056 removed entirely.
3057 [Richard Levitte]
3058
3059 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3060 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3061 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3062 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3063 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3064 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3065 of libcrypto.
3066 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3067 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3068 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3069 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3070 have to be made anyway).
3071 [Richard Levitte]
3072
3073 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3074 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3075 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3076 [Steve Henson]
3077
3078 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3079 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3080 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3081 [Richard Levitte]
3082
3083 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3084 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3085 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3086
3087 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3088 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3089 edit numbers of the version.
3090 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3091
3092 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3093 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3094 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3095
3096 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3097 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3098
3099 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3100 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3101 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3102
3103 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
3104 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3105
3106 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
3107 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3108
3109 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
3110 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3111
3112 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
3113 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3114
3115 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
3116 overflows.
3117 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3118
3119 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
3120 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
3121 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3122
3123 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
3124 representations in a platform independent manner.
3125 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3126
3127 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3128 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3129 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3130
3131 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
3132 indents.
3133 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3134
3135 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
3136 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3137
3138 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
3139 full. Fixed.
3140 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3141
3142 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
3143 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
3144 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3145
3146 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
3147 unconditionally).
3148 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3149
3150 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
3151 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3152
3153 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
3154 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3155
3156 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
3157 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3158
3159 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
3160 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3161
3162 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
3163 CBCParameter.
3164 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3165
3166 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
3167 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3168
3169 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
3170 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3171
3172 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
3173 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
3174 exploitable.
3175 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3176
3177 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
3178 the 0.9.6 release series:
3179
3180 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3181 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3182 (CVE-2002-0657)
3183 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3184
3185 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3186 [Richard Levitte]
3187
3188 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3189 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3190
3191 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3192 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3193
3194 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3195 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3196 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3197 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3198
3199 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3200 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3201 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3202
3203 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3204 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3205 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3206 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3207
3208 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3209 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3210 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3211 some local tweaks:
3212
3213 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3214 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3215 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3216 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3217 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3218 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3219 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3220 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3221 done
3222
3223 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3224 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3225 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3226 [Richard Levitte]
3227
3228 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3229 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3230 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3231 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3232 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3233
3234 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3235 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3236
3237 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3238 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3239 [Richard Levitte]
3240
3241 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3242 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3243 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3244 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3245 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3246 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3247 [Steve Henson]
3248
3249 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3250 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3251 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3252 [Steve Henson]
3253
3254 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3255 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3256 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3257
3258 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3259 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3260 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3261 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3262 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3263 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3264 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3265 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3266
3267 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3268 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3269 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3270 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3271 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3272 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3273 [Steve Henson]
3274
3275 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3276 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3277 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3278 declaration has been changed from
3279 int (*cb)()
3280 into
3281 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3282 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3283 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3284 has been changed into
3285 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3286
3287 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3288 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3289 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3290
3291 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3292 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3293
3294 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3295 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3296 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3297 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3298 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3299 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3300 always load it have also been added.
3301 [Steve Henson]
3302
3303 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3304 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3305 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3306
3307 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3308
3309 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3310 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3311 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3312
3313 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3314 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3315 command line option can be used to specify an
3316 alternative file.
3317 [Steve Henson]
3318
3319 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3320 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3321 [Steve Henson]
3322
3323 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3324 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3325 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3326 [Steve Henson]
3327
3328 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3329 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3330 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3331 to work with the new engine framework.
3332 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3333
3334 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3335 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3336 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3337 to work with the new engine framework.
3338 [Richard Levitte]
3339
3340 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3341 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3342 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3343
3344 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3345 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3346
3347 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3348 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3349 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3350 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3351 FORMAT_IISSGC.
3352 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3353
3354 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3355 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3356
3357 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3358 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3359
3360 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3361 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3362 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3363 [Ben Laurie]
3364
3365 *) Add new functions
3366 ERR_peek_last_error
3367 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3368 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3369 These are similar to
3370 ERR_peek_error
3371 ERR_peek_error_line
3372 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3373 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3374 still in the error queue.
3375 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3376
3377 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3378 like:
3379 default_algorithms = ALL
3380 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3381 [Steve Henson]
3382
3383 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3384 [Steve Henson]
3385
3386 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3387 [Steve Henson]
3388
3389 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3390 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3391 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3392 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3393
3394 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3395 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3396
3397 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3398 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3399
3400 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3401 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3402 [Bodo Moeller]
3403
3404 *) New functions/macros
3405
3406 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3407 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3408 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3409 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3410
3411 to request calling a callback function
3412
3413 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3414 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3415
3416 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3417 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3418 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3419 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3420 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3421 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3422 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3423 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3424 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3425 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3426
3427 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3428 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3429 [Bodo Moeller]
3430
3431 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3432 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3433 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3434 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3435 the configuration scripts.
3436
3437 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3438 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3439 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3440
3441 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3442 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3443
3444 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3445 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3446 when reusing an existing buffer.
3447 [Bodo Moeller]
3448
3449 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3450 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3451 [Steve Henson]
3452
3453 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3454 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3455 [Ben Laurie]
3456
3457 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3458 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3459 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3460 has the same effect.
3461 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3462
3463 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3464 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3465 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3466 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3467 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3468 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3469 exception.
3470
3471 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3472 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3473 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3474 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3475
3476 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3477 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3478 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3479 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3480
3481 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3482 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3483 won't work.
3484
3485 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3486 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3487 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3488 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3489 default), and then completely removed.
3490 [Richard Levitte]
3491
3492 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3493 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3494 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3495 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3496 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3497 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3498 particular extension is supported.
3499 [Steve Henson]
3500
3501 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3502 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3503 [Steve Henson]
3504
3505 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3506 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3507 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3508 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3509 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3510 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3511 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3512 requires the destination to be valid.
3513
3514 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3515 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3516 [Steve Henson]
3517
3518 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3519 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3520 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3521 [Bodo Moeller]
3522
3523 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3524 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3525
3526 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3527 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3528 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3529 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3530 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3531 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3532 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3533 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3534 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3535 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3536 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3537 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3538 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3539 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3540 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3541 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3542 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3543 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3544 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3545 the new code.
3546 [Geoff Thorpe]
3547
3548 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3549 [Steve Henson]
3550
3551 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3552 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3553 become part of libeay.num as well.
3554 [Richard Levitte]
3555
3556 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3557 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3558 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3559 false once a handshake has been completed.
3560 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3561 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3562 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3563 client has followed the request.)
3564 [Bodo Moeller]
3565
3566 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3567 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3568 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3569 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3570
3571 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3572 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3573 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3574 [Bodo Moeller]
3575
3576 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3577 [Steve Henson]
3578
3579 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3580 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3581 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3582 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3583
3584 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3585 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3586 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3587
3588 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3589 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3590 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3591 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3592 [Geoff Thorpe]
3593
3594 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3595 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3596 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3597 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3598 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3599 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3600 [Geoff Thorpe]
3601
3602 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3603 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3604 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3605 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3606 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3607 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3608 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3609 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3610 [Geoff Thorpe]
3611
3612 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3613 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3614 [Geoff Thorpe]
3615
3616 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3617 [Ben Laurie]
3618
3619 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3620 md_data void pointer.
3621 [Ben Laurie]
3622
3623 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3624 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3625 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3626 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3627 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3628 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3629 [Ben Laurie]
3630
3631 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3632 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3633 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3634 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3635 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3636 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3637 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3638 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3639 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3640 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3641 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3642 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3643 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3644 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3645 rather than letting it slide.
3646
3647 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3648 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3649 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3650 [Geoff Thorpe]
3651
3652 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3653 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3654 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3655 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3656 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3657 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3658 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3659 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3660 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3661 [Geoff Thorpe]
3662
3663 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3664 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3665 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3666 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3667 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3668
3669 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3670 [Geoff Thorpe]
3671
3672 *) Add EVP test program.
3673 [Ben Laurie]
3674
3675 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3676 [Ben Laurie]
3677
3678 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3679 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3680 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3681 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3682 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3683 [Steve Henson]
3684
3685 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3686 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3687 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3688 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3689 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3690 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3691 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3692
3693 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3694 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3695 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3696 Usage example:
3697
3698 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3699
3700 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3701 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3702 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3703 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3704 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3705
3706 [Ben Laurie]
3707
3708 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3709 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3710 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3711 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3712 anyway): E.g.,
3713
3714 des_key_schedule ks;
3715
3716 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3717 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3718
3719 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3720 [Ben Laurie]
3721
3722 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3723 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3724 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3725 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3726 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3727 functions prevents this.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3731 [Ben Laurie]
3732
3733 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3734 correct _ecb suffix.
3735 [Ben Laurie]
3736
3737 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3738 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3739 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3740 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3741 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3742 [Steve Henson]
3743
3744 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3745 [Richard Levitte]
3746
3747 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3748 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3749 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3750 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3751
3752 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3753 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3754
3755 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3756 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3757 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3758 via Richard Levitte]
3759
3760 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3761 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3762 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3763 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3764 [Geoff Thorpe]
3765
3766 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3767 Before:
3768 encrypt
3769 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3770 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3782 [Ben Laurie]
3783
3784 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3785 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3786
3787 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3788 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3789 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3790 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3791 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3792 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3793 [Steve Henson]
3794
3795 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3796 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3797 [Richard Levitte]
3798
3799 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3800 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3801 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3802 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3803
3804 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3805 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3806 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3807 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3808 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3809 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3810 callback.
3811 [Richard Levitte]
3812
3813 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3814 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3815 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3816 and interrupts/cancellations.
3817 [Richard Levitte]
3818
3819 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3820 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3821 [Steve Henson]
3822
3823 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3824 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3825 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3826
3827 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3828 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3829 kind of callback.
3830 [Richard Levitte]
3831
3832 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3833 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3834 than this minimum value is recommended.
3835 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3836
3837 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3838 that are easily reachable.
3839 [Richard Levitte]
3840
3841 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3842 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3843
3844 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3845
3846 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3847 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3848 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3849 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3850 [Steve Henson]
3851
3852 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3853 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3854 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3855 [Steve Henson]
3856
3857 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3858 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3859 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3860 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3861 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3862 internally such as S/MIME.
3863
3864 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3865 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3866 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3867
3868 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3869 applications.
3870 [Steve Henson]
3871
3872 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3873 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3874 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3875 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3876
3877 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3878
3879 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3880
3881 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3882 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3883 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3884 handling.
3885 [Steve Henson]
3886
3887 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3888 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3889 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3890 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3891 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3892 a window system and the like.
3893 [Richard Levitte]
3894
3895 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3896 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3897 [Geoff]
3898
3899 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3900 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3901 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3902 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3903 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3904 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3905 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3906 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3907 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3908 ENGINE structure.
3909 [Geoff]
3910
3911 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3912 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3913 tag cache.
3914 [Steve Henson]
3915
3916 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3917 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3918 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3919 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3920 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3921 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3922 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3923 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3924 [Geoff]
3925
3926 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3927 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3928 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3929 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3930 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3931 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3932 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3933 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3934 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3935 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3936 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3937 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3938 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3939 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3940 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3941 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3942 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3943 [Geoff]
3944
3945 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3946 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3947 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3948 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3949 internal engine_int.h header.
3950 [Geoff]
3951
3952 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3953 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3954 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3955 modify their own ones).
3956 [Geoff]
3957
3958 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3959 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3960 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3961 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3962 later on via ctrl() commands.
3963 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3964 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3965 structural references.
3966 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3967 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3968 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3969 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3970 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3971 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3972 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3973 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3974 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3975 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3976 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3977 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3978 [Geoff]
3979
3980 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3981 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3982 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3983 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3984 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3985 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3986 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3987 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3988 [Bodo Moeller]
3989
3990 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3991 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3992 [Steve Henson]
3993
3994 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3995 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3999 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4000 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4001 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4002 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4003 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4004 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4005 [Steve Henson]
4006
4007 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4008 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4009 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4010 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4011 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4012
4013 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4014 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4015 generator).
4016 [Bodo Moeller]
4017
4018 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4019
4020 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4021 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4022 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4023
4024 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4025 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4026
4027 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4028 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4029 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4030
4031 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4032 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4033
4034 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4035 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4036
4037 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4038
4039 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4040 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4041 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4042 [Bodo Moeller]
4043
4044 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4045 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4046 [Richard Levitte]
4047
4048 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4049 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4050 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4051 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4052 is 40 of more characters long.
4053 [Steve Henson]
4054
4055 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4056 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4057 pointers.
4058 [Steve Henson]
4059
4060 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4061 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4062 [Bodo Moeller]
4063
4064 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4065 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4066 might.
4067 [Steve Henson]
4068
4069 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4070
4071 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4072 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4073
4074 ASN1 error codes
4075 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4076 ...
4077 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4078 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4079 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4080 ...
4081 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4082 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4083
4084 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4085 [Bodo Moeller]
4086
4087 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4088 suffices.
4089 [Bodo Moeller]
4090
4091 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4092 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4093 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4094 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4095 and
4096 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4097
4098 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4099 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4100
4101 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4102 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4103 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4104 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4105 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4106 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4107
4108 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4109 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4110
4111 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4112 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4113
4114 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4115 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4116
4117 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4118 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4119 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4120 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4121
4122 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4123 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4124
4125 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4126 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4127
4128 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4129 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4130 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4131 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4132 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4133 [Richard Levitte]
4134
4135 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4136 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4137 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4138 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4139 [Steve Henson]
4140
4141 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4142 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4143 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4144 trust settings.
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4148 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4149 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4150 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4151 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4152 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4153 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4154 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4155 ocsp utility.
4156 [Steve Henson]
4157
4158 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4159 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4160 [Steve Henson]
4161
4162 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4163 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4164 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4165 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4166 [Steve Henson]
4167
4168 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4169 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4170 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4171 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4172 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4173 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4174 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4175 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4176 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4177 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4178 [Steve Henson]
4179
4180 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4181 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4182 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4183 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4184 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4185 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4186 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4187 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4188
4189 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4190 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4191 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4192 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4193 [Richard Levitte]
4194
4195 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4196 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4197 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4198 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4199 opensslconf.h.
4200 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4201 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4202 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4203 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4204 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4205 what is available.
4206 [Richard Levitte]
4207
4208 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4209 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4210 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4211 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4212 auto incremented.
4213 [Steve Henson]
4214
4215 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4216 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4217 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4218 [Steve Henson]
4219
4220 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4221 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4222 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4223 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4224 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4225 [Steve Henson]
4226
4227 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4228 [Steve Henson]
4229
4230 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4231 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4232 option to ocsp utility.
4233 [Steve Henson]
4234
4235 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4236 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4237 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4238 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4239 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4240 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4241 the request is nonce-less.
4242 [Steve Henson]
4243
4244 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4245 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4246 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4247 [Bodo Moeller]
4248
4249 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4250 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4251 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4252 [Steve Henson]
4253
4254 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4255 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4256 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4257 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4258 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4259 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4260
4261 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4262 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4263 appear to exist.
4264 [Steve Henson]
4265
4266 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4267 additional certificates supplied.
4268 [Steve Henson]
4269
4270 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4271 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4272 signature against.
4273 [Richard Levitte]
4274
4275 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4276 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4277 AES OIDs.
4278
4279 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4280 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4281 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4282 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4283 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4284 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4285 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4286 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4287 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4288
4289 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4290 request to response.
4291 [Steve Henson]
4292
4293 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4294 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4295 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4296 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4297 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4298 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4299 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4300 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4301 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4302 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4303 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4304 [Steve Henson]
4305
4306 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4307 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4308 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4309 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4310 [Steve Henson]
4311
4312 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4313 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4314
4315 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4316 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4317 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4318 [Steve Henson]
4319
4320 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4321 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4322 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4323 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4324 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4325
4326 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4327 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4328 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4329 [Steve Henson]
4330
4331 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4332 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4333 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4334 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4335 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4336 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4337 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4338 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4339
4340 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4341 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4342 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4343 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4344 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4345 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4346 [Steve Henson]
4347
4348 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4349 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4350 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4351 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4352 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4353 printout format cleaned up.
4354 [Steve Henson]
4355
4356 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4357 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4358 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4359 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4360 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4361 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4362 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4363 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4364 [Steve Henson]
4365
4366 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4367 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4368 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4369 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4370 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4371 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4372 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4373 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4374 [Steve Henson]
4375
4376 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4377 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4378 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4379 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4380 section to use.
4381 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4382
4383 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4384 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4385 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4386 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4387 [Steve Henson]
4388
4389 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4390 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4391 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4392 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4393 in the index file.
4394 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4395
4396 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4397 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4398 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4399 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4400
4401 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4402 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4403
4404 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4405 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4406 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4407 [Steve Henson]
4408
4409 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4410 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4411 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4412 [Bodo Moeller]
4413
4414 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4415 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4416 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4417 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4418 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4419 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4420 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4421 functions are provided:
4422
4423 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4424 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4425 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4426 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4427
4428 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4429 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4430 extended allocation function is enabled.
4431 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4432 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4433 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4434
4435 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4436 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4437 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4438 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4439 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4440 [Geoff Thorpe]
4441
4442 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4443 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4444 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4445 be queried.
4446 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4447 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4448 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4449 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4450
4451 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4452 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4453 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4454 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4455 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4456 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4457 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4458 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4459 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4460 [Richard Levitte]
4461
4462 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4463 provide utility functions which an application needing
4464 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4465 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4466 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4467
4468 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4469 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4470 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4471 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4472 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4473 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4474 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4475 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4476 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4477
4478 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4479 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4480 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4481 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4482 [Steve Henson]
4483
4484 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4485 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4486 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4487 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4488 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4489 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4490 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4491 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4492 will be added elsewhere.
4493 [Steve Henson]
4494
4495 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4496 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4497 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4498 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4499 [Steve Henson]
4500
4501 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4502 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4503 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4504 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4505 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4506 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4507 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4508 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4509 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4510 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4511 to produce the required SET OF.
4512 [Steve Henson]
4513
4514 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4515 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4516 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4517 [Richard Levitte]
4518
4519 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4520 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4521 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4522 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4523 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4524 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4525 [Steve Henson]
4526
4527 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4528 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4529 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4530 [Steve Henson]
4531
4532 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4533 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4534 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4535 [Richard Levitte]
4536
4537 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4538 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4539 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4540 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4541 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4542 [Steve Henson]
4543
4544 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4545 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4546 [Steve Henson]
4547
4548 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4549 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4550 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4551 certifcates and CRLs.
4552 [Steve Henson]
4553
4554 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4555 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4556 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4557 [Steve Henson]
4558
4559 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4560 entries for variables.
4561 [Steve Henson]
4562
4563 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4564 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4565 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4566 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4567 [Bodo Moeller]
4568
4569 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4570 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4571 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4572 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4573 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4574 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4575 [Bodo Moeller]
4576
4577 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4578 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4579
4580 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4581 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4582 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4583 [Steve Henson]
4584
4585 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4586 print routines.
4587 [Steve Henson]
4588
4589 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4590 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4591 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4592 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4593 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4594 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4595 [Steve Henson]
4596
4597 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4598 [Steve Henson]
4599
4600 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4601 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4602 for now but they will eventually go away.
4603 [Steve Henson]
4604
4605 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4606 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4607 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4608 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4609 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4610 has also been converted to the new form.
4611 [Steve Henson]
4612
4613 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4614 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4615 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4616 for negative moduli.
4617 [Bodo Moeller]
4618
4619 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4620 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4621 [Bodo Moeller]
4622
4623 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4624 set.
4625 [Bodo Moeller]
4626
4627 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4628 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4629 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4630 type-specific callbacks.
4631 [Geoff Thorpe]
4632
4633 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4634 RFC 2712.
4635 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4636 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4637
4638 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4639 in sections depending on the subject.
4640 [Richard Levitte]
4641
4642 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4643 Windows.
4644 [Richard Levitte]
4645
4646 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4647 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4648 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4649 be handled deterministically).
4650 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4651
4652 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4653 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4654 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4655 [Bodo Moeller]
4656
4657 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4658 [Bodo Moeller]
4659
4660 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4661 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4662 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4663 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4664 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4665 [Bodo Moeller]
4666
4667 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4668 sign of the number in question.
4669
4670 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4671
4672 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4673 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4674 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4675 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4676 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4677 [Bodo Moeller]
4678
4679 *) New function BN_swap.
4680 [Bodo Moeller]
4681
4682 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4683 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4684 results on negative inputs.
4685 [Bodo Moeller]
4686
4687 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4688 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4689 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4690 [Bodo Moeller]
4691
4692 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4693 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4694 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4695 and add new functions:
4696
4697 BN_nnmod
4698 BN_mod_sqr
4699 BN_mod_add
4700 BN_mod_add_quick
4701 BN_mod_sub
4702 BN_mod_sub_quick
4703 BN_mod_lshift1
4704 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4705 BN_mod_lshift
4706 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4707
4708 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4709
4710 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4711 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4712
4713 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4714 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4715 be reduced modulo m.
4716 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4717
4718 #if 0
4719 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4720 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4721 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4722
4723 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4724 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4725 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4726 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4727 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4728 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4729 differing sizes.
4730 [Richard Levitte]
4731 #endif
4732
4733 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4734 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4735 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4736 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4737 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4738
4739 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4740 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4741 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4742 cause any problems.
4743 [Bodo Moeller]
4744
4745 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4746 [Richard Levitte]
4747
4748 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4749 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4750 [Richard Levitte]
4751
4752 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4753 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4754 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4755 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4756 time)
4757 [Richard Levitte]
4758
4759 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4760 [Richard Levitte]
4761
4762 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4763 [Richard Levitte]
4764
4765 *) Add the following functions:
4766
4767 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4768 ENGINE_load_chil()
4769 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4770 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4771 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4772
4773 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4774 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4775 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4776 libraries unless it's really needed.
4777
4778 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4779 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4780 declarations (they differed!).
4781 [Richard Levitte]
4782
4783 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4784 [Richard Levitte]
4785
4786 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4787 [Richard Levitte]
4788
4789 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4790 [Bodo Moeller]
4791
4792 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4793 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4794 [Richard Levitte]
4795
4796 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4797 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4798 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4799
4800 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4801 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4802 [Richard Levitte]
4803
4804 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4805 [Richard Levitte]
4806
4807 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4808 [Richard Levitte]
4809
4810 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4811 [Ben Laurie]
4812
4813 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4814 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4815 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4816
4817 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4818 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4819 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4820 different shared library filenames on each system.
4821 [Geoff Thorpe]
4822
4823 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4824 [Richard Levitte]
4825
4826 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4827 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4828 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4829 of two sections.
4830 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4831
4832 *) NCONF changes.
4833 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4834 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4835 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4836 binary backward compatibility.
4837 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4838 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4839 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4840 LDAP server.
4841 [Richard Levitte]
4842
4843 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4844 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4845 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4846 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4847 this case.
4848 [Steve Henson]
4849
4850 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4851 [Ben Laurie]
4852
4853 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4854 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4855 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4856 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4857 set.
4858 [Steve Henson]
4859
4860 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4861 [Richard Levitte]
4862
4863 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4864
4865 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4866 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4867 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4868
4869 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4870
4871 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4872
4873 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4874 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4875 [Steve Henson]
4876
4877 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4878
4879 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4880
4881 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4882 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4883
4884 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4885 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4886
4887 [Steve Henson]
4888
4889 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4890 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4891 specifications.
4892 [Steve Henson]
4893
4894 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4895 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4896 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4897 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4898
4899 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4900 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4901 [Richard Levitte]
4902
4903 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4904
4905 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4906 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4907 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4908 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4909 [Bodo Moeller]
4910
4911 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4912 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4913 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4914 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4915 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4916
4917 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4918 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4919 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4920 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4921 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4922 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4923 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4924 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4925 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4926 [Bodo Moeller]
4927
4928 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4929
4930 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4931 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4932 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4933 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4934 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4935
4936 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4937 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4938 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4939
4940 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4941
4942 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4943 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4944 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4945 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4946 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4947 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4948 [Geoff Thorpe]
4949
4950 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4951 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4952 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4953 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4954 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4955 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4956
4957 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4958 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4959 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4960
4961 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4962 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4963 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4964 EVP_cleanup().
4965 [Richard Levitte]
4966
4967 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4968 being properly terminated.
4969 [Richard Levitte]
4970
4971 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4972 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4973 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4974 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4975
4976 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4977 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4978 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4979 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4980 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4981 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4982 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4983 change.
4984 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4985
4986 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4987 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4988 [Bodo Moeller]
4989
4990 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4991 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4992 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4993 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4994 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4995 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4996 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4997 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4998
4999 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5000 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5001 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5002 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5003 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5004
5005 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5006 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5007 [Steve Henson]
5008
5009 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5010
5011 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5012 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5013 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5014
5015 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5016
5017 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5018 and get fix the header length calculation.
5019 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5020 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5021 Steve Henson]
5022
5023 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5024 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5025 assertions could call abort()).
5026 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5027
5028 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5029
5030 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5031 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5032 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5033 supplied buffer.
5034 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5035
5036 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5037 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5038 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5039 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5040
5041 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5042 [Nils Larsch]
5043
5044 *) New option
5045 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5046 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5047 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5048
5049 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5050 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5051 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5052 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5053 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5054 applications.
5055 [Bodo Moeller]
5056
5057 *) Changes in security patch:
5058
5059 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5060 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5061 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5062 F30602-01-2-0537.
5063
5064 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5065 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5066 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5067 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5068 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5069
5070 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5071 happen in practice.
5072 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5073
5074 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5075 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5076 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5077
5078 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5079 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5080 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5081
5082 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5083 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5084 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5085
5086 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5087
5088 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5089 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5090 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5091
5092 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5093 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5094
5095 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5096 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5097 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5098 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5099 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5100 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5101 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5102
5103 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5104 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5105 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5106 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5107 [Bodo Moeller]
5108
5109 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5110 [Bodo Moeller]
5111
5112 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5113 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5114 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5115 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5116 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5117 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5118
5119 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5120 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5121 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5122 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5123 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5124 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5125
5126 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5127 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5128 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5129 BN_generate_prime().)
5130
5131 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5132 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5133 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5134 better.
5135 [Bodo Moeller]
5136
5137 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5138 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5139 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5140
5141 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5142 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5143 when using non-blocking I/O.
5144 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5145
5146 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5147 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5148
5149 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5150 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5151 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5152
5153 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5154 configuration for the versions before that.
5155 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5156
5157 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5158 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5159 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5160 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5161 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5162
5163 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5164 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5165 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5166 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5167
5168 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5169 value is 0.
5170 [Richard Levitte]
5171
5172 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5173 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5174 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5175
5176 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5177 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5178
5179 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5180 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5181 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5182 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5183 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5184 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5185 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5186 session cache.
5187
5188 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5189 using a local variable.
5190 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5191
5192 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5193 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5194 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5195
5196 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5197 [Richard Levitte]
5198
5199 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5200 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5201
5202 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5203 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5204 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5205
5206 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5207
5208 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5209 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5210 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5211 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5212 [Bodo Moeller]
5213
5214 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5215 present.
5216 [Steve Henson]
5217
5218 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5219 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5220 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5221 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5222 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5223
5224 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5225 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5226 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5227
5228 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5229 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5230 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5231
5232 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5233 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5234 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5235 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5236
5237 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5238 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5239 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5240 modules).
5241 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5242
5243 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5244 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5245 from 0.9.7.
5246 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5247
5248 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5249 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5250 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5251 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5252
5253 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5254 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5255 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5256 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5257
5258 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5259 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5260
5261 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5262 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5263 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5264 [Bodo Moeller]
5265
5266 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5267 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5268 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5269 become invalid.
5270 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5271
5272 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5273 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5274 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5275 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5276 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5277 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5278 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5279 [Bodo Moeller]
5280
5281 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5282 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5283 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5284 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5285
5286 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5287 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5288 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5289 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5290 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5291 the client will at least see that alert.
5292 [Bodo Moeller]
5293
5294 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5295 correctly.
5296 [Bodo Moeller]
5297
5298 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5299 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5300 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5301
5302 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5303 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5304 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5305 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5306 HelloRequest.
5307
5308 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5309 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5310 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5311
5312 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5313 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5314 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5315 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5316 may leak via logfiles.)
5317
5318 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5319 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5320 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5321 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5322 the legal range.
5323 [Bodo Moeller]
5324
5325 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5326 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5327 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5328
5329 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5330 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5331 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5332 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5333 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5334 [Bodo Moeller]
5335
5336 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5337 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5338
5339 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5340 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5341 followed by modular reduction.
5342 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5343
5344 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5345 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5346 [Bodo Moeller]
5347
5348 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5349 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5350 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5351 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5352 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5353
5354 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5355 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5356
5357 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5358 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5359 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5360
5361 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5362 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5363 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5364 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5365 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5366 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5367 automatically.
5368 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5369
5370 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5371 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5372 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5373 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5374 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5375
5376 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5377 [Andy Polyakov]
5378
5379 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5380 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5381 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5382 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5383 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5384 to allow the necessary settings.
5385 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5386
5387 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5388 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5389 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5390 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5391 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5392
5393 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5394 dh->length and always used
5395
5396 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5397
5398 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5399 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5400 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5401 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5402 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5403 dh->length.
5404
5405 So switch back to
5406
5407 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5408
5409 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5410 otherwise.
5411 [Bodo Moeller]
5412
5413 *) In
5414
5415 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5416 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5417 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5418 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5419
5420 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5421 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5422 always reject numbers >= n.
5423 [Bodo Moeller]
5424
5425 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5426 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5427 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5428 variable) is not atomic.
5429 [Bodo Moeller]
5430
5431 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5432 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5433 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5434 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5435
5436 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5437 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5438
5439 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5440 little-endian MIPS.
5441 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5442
5443 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5444 [Richard Levitte]
5445
5446 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5447
5448 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5449 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5450 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5451 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5452 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5453 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5454 to traverse all of 'state'.
5455
5456 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5457 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5458 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5459
5460 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5461 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5462
5463 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5464 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5465 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5466 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5467 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5468 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5469 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5470 further strengthens the PRNG.
5471 [Bodo Moeller]
5472
5473 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5474 [Andy Polyakov]
5475
5476 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5477 an error message in this case.
5478 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5479
5480 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5481 [Steve Henson]
5482
5483 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5484 positive and less than q.
5485 [Bodo Moeller]
5486
5487 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5488 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5489 that itself.
5490 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5491
5492 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5493 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5494 [Bodo Moeller]
5495
5496 *) Fix OAEP check.
5497 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5498
5499 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5500 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5501 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5502 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5503 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5504 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5505 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5506 paper.)
5507
5508 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5509 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5510 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5511 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5512
5513 Both problems are now fixed.
5514 [Bodo Moeller]
5515
5516 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5517 (previously it was 1024).
5518 [Bodo Moeller]
5519
5520 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5521 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5522 [Steve Henson]
5523
5524 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5525 [Steve Henson]
5526
5527 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5528 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5529 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5530 [Steve Henson]
5531
5532 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5533 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5534 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5535 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5536 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5537 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5538 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5539 environment variables.
5540
5541 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5542 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5543 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5544 [Bodo Moeller]
5545
5546 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5547 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5548 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5549 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5550 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5551 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5552 [Bodo Moeller]
5553
5554 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5555 versions of 'test'.
5556 [Bodo Moeller]
5557
5558 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5559
5560 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5561 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5562
5563 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5564 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5565 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5566 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5567 CygWin.
5568 [Richard Levitte]
5569
5570 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5571 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5572 amount of data available.
5573 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5574 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5575
5576 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5577 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5578 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5579 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5580 [Bodo Moeller]
5581
5582 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5583 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5584 and UnixWare.
5585 [Richard Levitte]
5586
5587 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5588 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5589 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5590 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5591 [Ulf Moeller]
5592
5593 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5594 [Andy Polyakov]
5595
5596 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5597 [Richard Levitte]
5598
5599 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5600 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5601 [Steve Henson]
5602 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5603
5604 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5605 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5606 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5607 (but broken) behaviour.
5608 [Steve Henson]
5609
5610 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5611 it when found.
5612 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5613
5614 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5615 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5616 [Bodo Moeller]
5617
5618 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5619 did not exist.
5620 [Bodo Moeller]
5621
5622 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5623 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5624
5625 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5626 [Richard Levitte]
5627
5628 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5629 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5630 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5631
5632 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5633 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5634 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5635 [Steve Henson]
5636
5637 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5638 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5639 [Ulf Moeller]
5640
5641 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5642 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5643
5644 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5645
5646 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5647
5648 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5649 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5650 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5651 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5652 [Bodo Moeller]
5653
5654 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5655 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5656
5657 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5658 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5659 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5660
5661 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5662 was empty.
5663 [Steve Henson]
5664 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5665
5666 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5667 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5668 but the code is actually correct.
5669 [Steve Henson]
5670
5671 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5672 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5673 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5674 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5675 and leaves the highest bit random.
5676 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5677
5678 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5679 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5680 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5681 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5682 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5683 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5684 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5685 [Bodo Moeller]
5686
5687 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5688 [Ulf Moeller]
5689
5690 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5691 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5692 [Steve Henson]
5693
5694 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5695 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5696 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5697 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5698 headers.
5699 [Richard Levitte]
5700
5701 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5702 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5703 and break the signature.
5704 [Steve Henson]
5705 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5706
5707 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5708 DH ciphersuites.
5709 [Steve Henson]
5710
5711 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5712 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5713 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5714 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5715 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5716 [Bodo Moeller]
5717
5718 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5719 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5720
5721 *) ./config script fixes.
5722 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5723
5724 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5725 [Bodo Moeller]
5726
5727 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5728 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5729 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5730 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5731 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5732
5733 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5734 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5735 [Bodo Moeller]
5736
5737 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5738 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5739 [Steve Henson]
5740
5741 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5742 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5743 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5744 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5745
5746 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5747 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5748
5749 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5750 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5751 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5752 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5753 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5754
5755 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5756 [Bodo Moeller]
5757
5758 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5759 [Ulf Möller]
5760
5761 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5762 [Ulf Möller]
5763
5764 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5765 [Bodo Moeller]
5766
5767 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5768 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5769 [Bodo Moeller]
5770
5771 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5772 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5773 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5774 result of the server certificate verification.)
5775 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5776
5777 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5778 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5779 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5780 [Bodo Moeller]
5781
5782 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5783 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5784 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5785 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5786 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5787 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5788 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5789 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5790 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5791 [Bodo Moeller]
5792
5793 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5794 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5795 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5796 happening the other way round.
5797 [Geoff Thorpe]
5798
5799 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5800 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5801 [Bodo Moeller]
5802
5803 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5804 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5805 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5806 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5807 [Richard Levitte]
5808
5809 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5810 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5811
5812 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5813
5814 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5815 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5816 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5817 that.
5818
5819 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5820
5821 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5822
5823 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5824 static ones.
5825 [Richard Levitte]
5826
5827 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5828
5829 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5830 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5831 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5832 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5833 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5834
5835 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5836 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5837 matter what.
5838 [Richard Levitte]
5839
5840 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5841 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5842
5843 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5844
5845 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5846 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5847 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5848 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5849 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5850 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5851 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5852 by the Finished messages.
5853 [Bodo Moeller]
5854
5855 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5856 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5857
5858 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5859 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5860 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5861 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5862 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5863 appropriately.
5864 [Steve Henson]
5865
5866 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5867 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5868 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5869 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5870 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5871 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5872 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5873 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5874 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5875 together.
5876 [Steve Henson]
5877
5878 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5879 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5880 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5881 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5882
5883 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5884 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5885 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5886 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5887 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5888 the answer.
5889
5890 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5891 been tested well enough.
5892 [Richard Levitte]
5893
5894 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5895 it can return incorrect results.
5896 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5897 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5898 [Bodo Moeller]
5899
5900 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5901 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5902 include zero length content when signing messages.
5903 [Steve Henson]
5904
5905 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5906 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5907 [Bodo Möller]
5908
5909 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5910 [Richard Levitte]
5911
5912 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5913 wrong sign.
5914 [Ulf Möller]
5915
5916 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5917 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5918 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5919 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5920 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5921 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5922 [Richard Levitte]
5923
5924 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5925 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5926
5927 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5928 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5929
5930 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5931 random number < q in the DSA library.
5932 [Ulf Möller]
5933
5934 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5935 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5936 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5937 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5938 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5939 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5940 just makes things more complicated.)
5941 [Bodo Moeller]
5942
5943 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5944 from EGD.
5945 [Ben Laurie]
5946
5947 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5948 work better on such systems.
5949 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5950
5951 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5952 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5953 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5954 [Steve Henson]
5955
5956 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5957 if there was more than one signature.
5958 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5959
5960 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5961 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5962 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5963 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5964 [Richard Levitte]
5965
5966 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5967 rather than always using the current time.
5968 [Steve Henson]
5969
5970 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5971 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5972 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5973 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5974 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5975 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5976
5977 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5978 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5979
5980 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5981
5982 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5983 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5984 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5985 the same hash value.
5986
5987 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5988 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5989 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5990 with X509_STORE internally.
5991
5992 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5993 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5994
5995 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5996 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5997 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5998 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5999 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6000 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6001 entirely (maybe later...).
6002
6003 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6004
6005 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6006 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6007 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6008 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6009 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6010 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6011 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6012 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6013
6014 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6015 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6016
6017 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6018 to customise the verify behaviour.
6019 [Steve Henson]
6020
6021 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6022 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6023 [Steve Henson]
6024
6025 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6026 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6027 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6028 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6029 request is improperly encoded.
6030 [Steve Henson]
6031
6032 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6033 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6034 BIO_write(b, ...).
6035
6036 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6037 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6038
6039 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6040 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6041 words set to zero.)
6042 [Bodo Moeller]
6043
6044 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6045 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6046 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6047 [Bodo Moeller]
6048
6049 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6050 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6051 BIO/fp routines also added.
6052 [Steve Henson]
6053
6054 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6055 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6056
6057 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6058 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6059 demos/state_machine.
6060 [Ben Laurie]
6061
6062 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6063 generation and verification.
6064 [Steve Henson]
6065
6066 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6067 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6068 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6069 encode and decode it manually.
6070 [Steve Henson]
6071
6072 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6073 compile under VC++.
6074 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6075
6076 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6077 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6078 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6079 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6080
6081 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6082 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6083 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6084 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6085 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6086 [Steve Henson]
6087
6088 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6089 [Richard Levitte]
6090
6091 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6092 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6093 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6094
6095 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6096 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6097 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6098 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6099 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6100 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6101 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6102 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6103
6104 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6105 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6106
6107 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6108
6109 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6110 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6111 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6112
6113 [Richard Levitte]
6114
6115 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6116 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6117 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6118 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6119 [Richard Levitte]
6120
6121 *) MD4 implemented.
6122 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6123
6124 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6125 [Richard Levitte]
6126
6127 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6128 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6129 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6130 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6131 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6132 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6133 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6134 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6135 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6136 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6137 short or long names are found.
6138 [Steve Henson]
6139
6140 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6141 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6142
6143 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6144 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6145 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6146 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6147
6148 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6149 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6150 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6151 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6152 [Bodo Moeller]
6153
6154 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6155 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6156 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6157 [Richard Levitte]
6158
6159 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6160 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6161 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6162 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6163 to allow the various flags to be set.
6164 [Steve Henson]
6165
6166 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6167 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6168 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6169 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6170 dates to be checked.
6171 [Steve Henson]
6172
6173 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6174 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6175 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6176 [Steve Henson]
6177
6178 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6179 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6180 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6181 [Steve Henson]
6182
6183 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6184 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6185 [Bodo Moeller]
6186
6187 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6188 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6189 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6190 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6191 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6192 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6193 [Richard Levitte]
6194
6195 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6196 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6197 Random Numbers.
6198 [Ulf Möller]
6199
6200 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6201 DSA key.
6202 [Steve Henson]
6203
6204 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6205 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6206 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6207 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6208 form signing output easier to verify.
6209 [Steve Henson]
6210
6211 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6212 [Steve Henson]
6213
6214 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6215 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6216 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6217 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6218 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6219 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6220 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6221 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6222 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6223 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6224 [Steve Henson]
6225
6226 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6227
6228 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6229 the syntax given in objects.README.
6230 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6231 obj_mac.h.
6232 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6233 obj_mac.h.
6234
6235 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6236 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6237 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6238 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6239 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6240 consistent name changes.
6241 [Richard Levitte]
6242
6243 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6244 [Bodo Moeller]
6245
6246 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6247 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6248 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6249 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6250 [Richard Levitte]
6251
6252 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6253 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6254 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6255 of safestack.h .
6256 [Steve Henson]
6257
6258 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6259 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6260 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6261 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6262 [Steve Henson]
6263
6264 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6265 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6266 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6267 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6268 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6269 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6270 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6271 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6272 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6273 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6274 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6275 [Steve Henson]
6276
6277 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6278 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6279 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6280 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6281 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6282 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6283 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6284 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6285 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6286 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6287 [Steve Henson]
6288
6289 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6290 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6291 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6292 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6293
6294 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6295 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6296 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6297 omit any duplicate addresses.
6298 [Steve Henson]
6299
6300 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6301 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6302 [Bodo Moeller]
6303
6304 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6305 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6306 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6307 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6308 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6309 [Bodo Moeller]
6310
6311 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6312 software:
6313 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6314 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6315 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6316 Free => OPENSSL_free
6317 [Richard Levitte]
6318
6319 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6320 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6321 [Bodo Moeller]
6322
6323 *) CygWin32 support.
6324 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6325
6326 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6327 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6328 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6329 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6330 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6331 approach.
6332 [Geoff Thorpe]
6333
6334 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6335 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6336 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6337 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6338 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6339 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6340 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6341 [Geoff Thorpe]
6342
6343 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6344 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6345 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6346 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6347 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6348 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6349 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6350 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6351 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6352 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6353 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6354 [Bodo Moeller]
6355
6356 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6357 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6358 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6359 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6360 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6361
6362 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6363 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6364 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6365 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6366 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6367
6368 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6369 ciphers.
6370
6371 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6372 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6373 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6374 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6375
6376 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6377
6378 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6379 of macros.
6380
6381 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6382 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6383 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6384 flags.
6385
6386 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6387 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6388 any installed hardware versions can.
6389 [Steve Henson]
6390
6391 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6392 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6393 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6394 number.
6395 [Bodo Moeller]
6396
6397 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6398 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6399 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6400 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6401 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6402
6403 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6404 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6405 [Steve Henson]
6406
6407 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6408 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6409 [Richard Levitte]
6410
6411 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6412 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6413 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6414 features.
6415 [Steve Henson]
6416
6417 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6418 [Ulf Möller]
6419
6420 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6421 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6422 but no ssl client purpose.
6423 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6424
6425 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6426 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6427 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6428 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6429 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6430 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6431 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6432 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6433 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6434 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6435 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6436 [Steve Henson]
6437
6438 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6439 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6440 be obtained from the error queue.
6441 [Bodo Moeller]
6442
6443 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6444 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6445 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6446 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6447 [Bodo Moeller]
6448
6449 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6450 [Ulf Möller]
6451
6452 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6453 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6454 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6455 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6456 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6457 [Geoff Thorpe]
6458
6459 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6460 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6461 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6462 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6463 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6464 [Geoff Thorpe]
6465
6466 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6467 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6468 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6469 may not be NULL.
6470 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6471
6472 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6473 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6474 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6475 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6476 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6477 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6478 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6479 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6480 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6481 or "the configuration storage API"...
6482
6483 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6484
6485 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6486 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6487
6488 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6489
6490 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6491
6492 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6493 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6494 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6495 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6496 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6497 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6498 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6499
6500 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6501 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6502 [Richard Levitte]
6503
6504 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6505 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6506 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6507 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6508 [Bodo Moeller]
6509
6510 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6511 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6512 them in a portable way.
6513 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6514
6515 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6516
6517 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6518
6519 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6520 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6521
6522 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6523 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6524 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6525 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6526
6527 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6528 was larger than the MD block size.
6529 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6530
6531 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6532 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6533 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6534 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6535 components.
6536 [Steve Henson]
6537
6538 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6539 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6540 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6541
6542 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6543 discouraged.
6544 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6545
6546 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6547 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6548 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6549 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6550 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6551 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6552
6553 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6554 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6555
6556 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6557 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6558 [Bodo Moeller]
6559
6560 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6561 [Bodo Moeller]
6562
6563 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6564 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6565 its own key.
6566 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6567 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6568 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6569 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6570 [Bodo Moeller]
6571
6572 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6573 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6574 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6575 does not suppress any output.
6576 [Richard Levitte]
6577
6578 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6579 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6580 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6581 with all the associated security issues.
6582
6583 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6584 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6585 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6586 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6587 use the value in the default purpose.
6588 [Steve Henson]
6589
6590 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6591 and fix a memory leak.
6592 [Steve Henson]
6593
6594 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6595 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6596 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6597 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6598 [Bodo Moeller]
6599
6600 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6601 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6602 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6603 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6604 [Bodo Moeller]
6605
6606 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6607 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6608 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6609 [Bodo Moeller]
6610
6611 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6612 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6613 [Bodo Moeller]
6614
6615 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6616 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6617 which was free.
6618 [Steve Henson]
6619
6620 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6621 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6622 [Bodo Moeller]
6623
6624 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6625 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6626 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6627 [Bodo Moeller]
6628
6629 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6630 number generation fails.
6631 [Bodo Moeller]
6632
6633 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6634 [Bodo Moeller]
6635
6636 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6637 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6638
6639 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6640 [Ulf Möller]
6641
6642 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6643 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6644
6645 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6646 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6647
6648 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6649
6650 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6651 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6652 [Steve Henson]
6653
6654 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6655 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6656
6657 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6658 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6659 [Ulf Möller]
6660
6661 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6662 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6663 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6664 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6665 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6666 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6667
6668 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6669 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6670 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6671 for example.
6672 [Steve Henson]
6673
6674 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6675 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6676 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6677 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6678 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6679 counter, some don't.)
6680 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6681 counters or duplicate objects.
6682 [Steve Henson]
6683
6684 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6685 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6686 [Steve Henson]
6687
6688 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6689 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6690 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6691
6692 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6693 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6694 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6695 or -rand.
6696 [Ulf Möller]
6697
6698 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6699 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6700 [Steve Henson]
6701
6702 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6703 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6704 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6705 cipher list.
6706 [Steve Henson]
6707
6708 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6709 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6710 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6711 [Steve Henson]
6712
6713 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6714 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6715 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6716 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6717 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6718 should work without changes.
6719 [Richard Levitte]
6720
6721 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6722 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6723 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6724 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6725 must be defined. E.g.,
6726 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6727 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6728 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6729 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6730
6731 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6732 record layer.
6733 [Bodo Moeller]
6734
6735 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6736 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6737 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6738 [Steve Henson]
6739
6740 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6741 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6742 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6743 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6744 [Steve Henson]
6745
6746 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6747 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6748 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6749 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6750 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6751 is prompted for as usual.
6752 [Steve Henson]
6753
6754 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6755 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6756 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6757 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6758
6759 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6760 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6761 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6762 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6763 [Steve Henson]
6764
6765 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6766 [Andy Polyakov]
6767
6768 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6769 of seed file.
6770 [Steve Henson]
6771
6772 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6773 [Bodo Moeller]
6774
6775 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6776 [Steve Henson]
6777
6778 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6779 bits.
6780 [Ulf Möller]
6781
6782 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6783 [Ulf Möller]
6784
6785 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6786 [Andy Polyakov]
6787
6788 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6789 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6790 [Ulf Möller]
6791
6792 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6793 options to produce them.
6794 [Steve Henson]
6795
6796 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6797 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6798 [Ulf Möller]
6799
6800 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6801 for p == 0.
6802 [Ulf Möller]
6803
6804 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6805 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6806 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6807 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6808 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6809 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6810 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6811 [Steve Henson]
6812
6813 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6814 [Steve Henson]
6815
6816 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6817 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6818 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6819 [Bodo Moeller]
6820
6821 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6822 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6823
6824 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6825 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6826 [Ulf Möller]
6827
6828 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6829 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6830 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6831 has already seen).
6832 [Bodo Moeller]
6833
6834 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6835 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6836
6837 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6838 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6839 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6840 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6841 generation becomes much faster.
6842
6843 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6844 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6845 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6846 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6847 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6848 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6849 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6850 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6851 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6852 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6853 [Bodo Moeller]
6854
6855 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6856 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6857 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6858 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6859 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6860 trial division stage.
6861 [Bodo Moeller]
6862
6863 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6864 as ASN1_TIME.
6865 [Steve Henson]
6866
6867 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6868 [Steve Henson]
6869
6870 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6871 [Ulf Möller]
6872
6873 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6874 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6875 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6876 the comments.
6877 [Ulf Möller]
6878
6879 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6880 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6881 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6882 [Bodo Moeller]
6883
6884 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6885 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6886 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6887 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6888
6889 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6890 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6891 [Steve Henson]
6892
6893 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6894 [Ulf Möller]
6895
6896 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6897 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6898 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6899 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6900 [Ulf Möller]
6901
6902 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6903 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6904 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6905 [Ulf Möller]
6906
6907 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6908 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6909 (instead of parameters) in future.
6910 [Steve Henson]
6911
6912 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6913 when a new cipher list is set.
6914 [Steve Henson]
6915
6916 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6917 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6918 wrong.
6919
6920 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6921 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6922 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6923
6924 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6925 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6926 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6927 an error is flagged.
6928
6929 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6930 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6931 the readability was also increased :-)
6932 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6933
6934 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6935 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6936 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6937 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6938 as the root CA.
6939 [Steve Henson]
6940
6941 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6942 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6943 [Steve Henson]
6944
6945 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6946 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6947 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6948 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6949 instead.
6950
6951 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6952 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6953 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6954 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6955 because they handle more complex structures.)
6956 [Steve Henson]
6957
6958 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6959 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6960 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6961 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6962
6963 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6964 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6965 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6966 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6967 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6968 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6969 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6970 [Ulf Möller]
6971
6972 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6973 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6974 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6975 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6976 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6977 [Bodo Moeller]
6978
6979 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6980 [Bodo Moeller]
6981
6982 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6983 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6984 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6985 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6986 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6987 to use this.
6988
6989 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6990 code.
6991 [Steve Henson]
6992
6993 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6994 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6995 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6996 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6997 [Steve Henson]
6998
6999 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7000 [Ulf Möller]
7001
7002 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7003 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7004 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7005 international characters are used.
7006
7007 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7008 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7009 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7010 in ASN1 order.
7011 [Steve Henson]
7012
7013 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7014 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7015 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7016 request.
7017
7018 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7019 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7020 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7021 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7022 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7023 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7024
7025 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7026 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7027 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7028 be handled by the string table functions.
7029
7030 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7031 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7032 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7033 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7034 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7035 types at all.
7036 [Steve Henson]
7037
7038 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7039 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7040 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7041 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7042 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7043
7044 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7045 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7046 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7047 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7048 [Bodo Moeller]
7049
7050 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7051 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7052 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7053 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7054 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7055 SHA1.
7056 [Andy Polyakov]
7057
7058 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7059 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7060 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7061 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7062 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7063 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7064 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7065 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7066
7067 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7068 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7069 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7070 [Steve Henson]
7071
7072 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7073 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7074 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7075 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7076 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7077 support to pkcs8 application.
7078 [Steve Henson]
7079
7080 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7081 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7082 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7083 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7084 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7085 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7086 [Bodo Moeller]
7087
7088 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7089 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7090 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7091 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7092 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7093 consistency.
7094 [Bodo Moeller]
7095
7096 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7097 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7098 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7099 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7100 example.
7101 [Steve Henson]
7102
7103 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7104 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7105 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7106 and any application specific purposes.
7107
7108 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7109 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7110 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7111 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7112 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7113 if the certificate is self signed.
7114 [Steve Henson]
7115
7116 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7117 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7118 [Steve Henson]
7119
7120 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7121 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7122 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7123 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7124 [Steve Henson]
7125
7126 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7127 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7128 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7129 Update documentation.
7130 [Steve Henson]
7131
7132 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7133 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7134 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7135 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7136 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7137 [Steve Henson]
7138
7139 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7140 for details.
7141 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7142
7143 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7144 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7145 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7146 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7147 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7148 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7149 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7150 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7151 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7152 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7153
7154 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7155
7156 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7157 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7158 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7159 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7160 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7161
7162 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7163 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7164 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7165 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7166 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7167 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7168 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7169 request additional information:
7170 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7171 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7172
7173 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7174 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7175 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7176 options.
7177
7178 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7179 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7180
7181 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
7182 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7183 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
7184
7185 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7186 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7187
7188 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7189 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7190 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7191 algorithm.
7192 [Steve Henson]
7193
7194 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7195 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7196 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7197
7198 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7199 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7200 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7201 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7202 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7203 included in OpenSSL.
7204 [Steve Henson]
7205
7206 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7207 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7208 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7209 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7210 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7211 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7212 [Bodo Moeller]
7213
7214 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7215 PKCS12 structure.
7216 [Steve Henson]
7217
7218 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7219 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7220 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7221 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7222 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7223 structure.
7224 [Steve Henson]
7225
7226 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7227 need initialising.
7228 [Steve Henson]
7229
7230 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7231 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7232 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7233 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7234 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7235 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7236 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7237 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7238 be maintained manually.
7239
7240 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7241 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7242 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7243 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7244 work because people forget to call this function]
7245 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7246 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7247 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7251 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7252 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7253 should be discouraged from doing it.
7254 [Ben Laurie]
7255
7256 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7257 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7258 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7259 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7260 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7261 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7262 [Steve Henson]
7263
7264 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7265 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7266 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7267
7268 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7269 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7270 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7271
7272 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7273 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7274 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7275 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7276 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7277 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7278
7279 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7280 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7281 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7282
7283 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7284 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7285 and vice versa.
7286
7287 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7288 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7289 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7290 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7291 [Steve Henson]
7292
7293 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7294 [Steve Henson]
7295
7296 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7297 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7298 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7299 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7300 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7301 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7302 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7303 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7304 keys so we should be OK.
7305
7306 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7307 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7308 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7309 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7310 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7311 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7312 stay in the name of compatibility.
7313
7314 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7315 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7316 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7317
7318 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7319 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7320 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7321 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7322 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7323 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7324 supplied key).
7325 [Steve Henson]
7326
7327 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7328 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7329 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7330 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7331 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7332 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7333 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7334 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7335 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7336 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7337 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7338 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7339 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7340 [Steve Henson]
7341
7342 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7343 [Steve Henson]
7344
7345 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7346 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7347 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7348 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7349 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7350 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7351 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7352 openssl verify ss.pem
7353 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7354 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7355 is OK.
7356 [Steve Henson]
7357
7358 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7359 (and add it to external session representation).
7360 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7361 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7362 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7363 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7364 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7365 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7366 security holes.
7367 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7368
7369 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7370 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7371 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7372 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7373
7374 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7375 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7376 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7377 [Steve Henson]
7378
7379 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7380 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7381 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7382 code.
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7386 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7387 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7388
7389 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7390 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7391 certificate auxiliary information.
7392 [Steve Henson]
7393
7394 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7395 the 'enc' command.
7396 [Steve Henson]
7397
7398 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7399 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7400 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7401 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7402 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7403 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7404 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7405 [Richard Levitte]
7406
7407 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7408 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7409 [Steve Henson]
7410
7411 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7412 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7413 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7414 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7415 [Steve Henson]
7416
7417 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7418 [Steve Henson]
7419
7420 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7421 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7422 [Steve Henson]
7423
7424 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7425 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7426 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7427 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7428 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7429 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7430 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7431 using the new 'x509' options.
7432
7433 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7434 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7435 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7436 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7437 for all purposes.
7438 [Steve Henson]
7439
7440 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7441 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7442 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7443 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7444 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7445 [Mark Cox]
7446
7447 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7448 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7449 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7450 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7451 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7452 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7453 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7454 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7455 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7456 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7457 [Steve Henson]
7458
7459 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7460 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7461 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7462 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7463 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7464 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7465 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7466 [Steve Henson]
7467
7468 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7469 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7470 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7471 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7472 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7473 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7474 openssl.cnf for more info.
7475 [Steve Henson]
7476
7477 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7478 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7479 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7480 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7481 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7482 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7483 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7484 md should be large enough anyway.
7485 [Bodo Moeller]
7486
7487 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7488 for handling the random seed file.
7489
7490 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7491 ca,
7492 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7493 s_client,
7494 s_server,
7495 x509 (when signing).
7496 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7497 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7498 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7499
7500 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7501 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7502 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7503 that support '-rand'.
7504 [Bodo Moeller]
7505
7506 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7507 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7508 [Bodo Moeller]
7509
7510 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7511 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7512 [Bill Perry]
7513
7514 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7515 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7516 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7517 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7518 is suitable.
7519 [Steve Henson]
7520
7521 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7522 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7523 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7524 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7525 [Steve Henson]
7526
7527 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7528 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7529 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7530 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7531 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7532 print out all the purposes.
7533 [Steve Henson]
7534
7535 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7536 functions.
7537 [Steve Henson]
7538
7539 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7540 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7541 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7542 single function call.
7543 [Steve Henson]
7544
7545 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7546 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7547 [Andy Polyakov]
7548
7549 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7550 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7551 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7552 [Steve Henson]
7553
7554 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7555 when producing the local key id.
7556 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7557
7558 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7559 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7560 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7561 "server.pem".
7562 [Steve Henson]
7563
7564 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7565 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7566 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7567 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7568 [Steve Henson]
7569
7570 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7571 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7572 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7573 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7574
7575 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7576 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7577 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7578 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7579
7580 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7581 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7582 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7583 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7584 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7585 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7586 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7587 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7588 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7589 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7590 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7591 trivial: move one line.
7592 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7593
7594 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7595 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7596 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7597 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7598 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7599 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7600 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7601 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7602 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7603 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7604 with an event loop for example.
7605 [Steve Henson]
7606
7607 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7608 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7609 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7610 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7611 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7612 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7613 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7614 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7615 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7616 [Steve Henson]
7617
7618 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7619 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7620 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7621 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7622 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7623 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7624 [Steve Henson]
7625
7626 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7627 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7628 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7629 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7630
7631 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7632 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7633 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7634 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7635 key generation.
7636 [Steve Henson]
7637
7638 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7639 (still largely untested)
7640 [Bodo Moeller]
7641
7642 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7643 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7644 [Steve Henson]
7645
7646 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7647 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7648 [Steve Henson]
7649
7650 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7651 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7652 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7653 [Bodo Moeller]
7654
7655 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7656 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7657 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7658 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7659 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7660 [Steve Henson]
7661
7662 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7663 [Andy Polyakov]
7664
7665 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7666 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7667 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7668 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7669 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7670 in ca.
7671 [Steve Henson]
7672
7673 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7674 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7675 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7676 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7677 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7678 [Steve Henson]
7679
7680 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7681 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7682 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7683 are otherwise ignored at present.
7684 [Steve Henson]
7685
7686 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7687 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7688 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7689 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7690 copied until the next read.
7691 [Steve Henson]
7692
7693 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7694 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7695 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7696 [Steve Henson]
7697
7698 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7699 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7700 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7701 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7702 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7703 associated functions.
7704 [Steve Henson]
7705
7706 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7707 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7708 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7709 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7710 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7711 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7712 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7713 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7714 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7715 memory BIOs.
7716 [Steve Henson]
7717
7718 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7719 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7720 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7721 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7722 [Bodo Moeller]
7723
7724 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7725 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7726 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7727 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7728 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7729 functionality.
7730 [Steve Henson]
7731
7732 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7733 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7734 under Win32.
7735 [Steve Henson]
7736
7737 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7738 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7739 extensions to be obtained and added.
7740 [Steve Henson]
7741
7742 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7743 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7744 [Bodo Moeller]
7745
7746 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7747
7748 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7749 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7750
7751 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7752 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7753
7754 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7755 program.
7756 [Steve Henson]
7757
7758 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7759 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7760 DH parameters contain its length).
7761
7762 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7763 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7764 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7765 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7766 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7767 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7768 utter importance to use
7769 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7770 or
7771 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7772 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7773 attacks may become possible!
7774 [Bodo Moeller]
7775
7776 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7777 [Bodo Moeller]
7778
7779 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7780 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7781 [Steve Henson]
7782
7783 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7784 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7785 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7786 or long name.
7787 [Steve Henson]
7788
7789 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7790 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7791 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7792 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7793 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7794 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7795 private key operations.
7796 [Steve Henson]
7797
7798 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7799 [Andy Polyakov]
7800
7801 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7802 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7803 to
7804 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7805 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7806 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7807 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7808 the password callback is called.
7809 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7810
7811 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7812
7813 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7814 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7815 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7816 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7817 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7818 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7819 this will work.
7820
7821 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7822 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7823 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7824 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7825 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7826 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7827 [Bodo Moeller]
7828
7829 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7830 [Andy Polyakov]
7831
7832 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7833 delete an unused file.
7834 [Ulf Möller]
7835
7836 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7837 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7838 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7839 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7840 [Steve Henson]
7841
7842 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7843 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7844 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7845 of an error.
7846 [Bodo Moeller]
7847
7848 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7849 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7850 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7851
7852 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7853 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7854 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7855 comparison" warnings.
7856 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7857 [Steve Henson]
7858
7859 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7860 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7861 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7862 [Steve Henson]
7863
7864 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7865 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7866
7867 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7868 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7869
7870 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7871 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7872 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7873
7874 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7875 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7876 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7877 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7878 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7879 this bug.
7880 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7881
7882 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7883 The interface is as follows:
7884 Applications can use
7885 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7886 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7887 "off" is now the default.
7888 The library internally uses
7889 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7890 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7891 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7892
7893 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7894 even the default) are now avoided.
7895
7896 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7897 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7898 than just having a counter.
7899
7900 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7901
7902 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7903 extensions.
7904 [Bodo Moeller]
7905
7906 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7907 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7908 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7909 Initial "mode" flags are:
7910
7911 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7912 a single record has been written.
7913 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7914 retries use the same buffer location.
7915 (But all of the contents must be
7916 copied!)
7917 [Bodo Moeller]
7918
7919 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7920 worked.
7921
7922 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7923 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7924
7925 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7926 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7927 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7928 [Steve Henson]
7929
7930 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7931 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7932 test programs.
7933 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7934
7935 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7936 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7937 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7938 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7939 point to the end.
7940 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7941 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7942
7943 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7944 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7945 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7946 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7947 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7948 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7949 [Steve Henson]
7950
7951 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7952 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7953 necessary function names.
7954 [Steve Henson]
7955
7956 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7957 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7958 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7959 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7960 [Bodo Moeller]
7961
7962 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7963 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7964 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7965 [Steve Henson]
7966
7967 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7968 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7969 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7970 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7971 such programs?)
7972 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7973 need locks.
7974 [Bodo Moeller]
7975
7976 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7977 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7978 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7979 [Bodo Moeller]
7980
7981 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7982 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7983 appropriate.
7984 [Bodo Moeller]
7985
7986 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7987 for the encoded length.
7988 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7989
7990 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7991 [Steve Henson]
7992
7993 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7994 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7995 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7996 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7997 [Steve Henson]
7998
7999 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8000 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8001 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8002
8003 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8004 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8005 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8006 unusual formatting.
8007 [Steve Henson]
8008
8009 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8010 to use the new extension code.
8011 [Steve Henson]
8012
8013 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8014 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8015 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8016 constant.
8017 [Steve Henson]
8018
8019 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8020 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8021 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8022 [Bodo Moeller]
8023
8024 #if 0
8025 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8026 [Ben Laurie]
8027 #else
8028 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8029 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8030 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8031 #endif
8032
8033 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8034 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8035 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8036 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8037 [Ben Laurie]
8038
8039 *) DES library cleanups.
8040 [Ulf Möller]
8041
8042 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8043 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8044 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8045 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8046 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8047 of v2.0.
8048 [Steve Henson]
8049
8050 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8051 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8052 [Bodo Moeller]
8053
8054 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8055 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8056 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8057 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8058 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8059 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8060 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8061 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8062 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8063 [Steve Henson]
8064
8065 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8066 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8067 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8068 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8069 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8070 value doesn't matter.
8071 [Steve Henson]
8072
8073 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8074 support mutable.
8075 [Ben Laurie]
8076
8077 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8078 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8079 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8080 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8081
8082 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8083 [Ulf Möller]
8084
8085 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8086 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8087 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8088
8089 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8090 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8091
8092 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8093 [Ben Laurie]
8094
8095 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8096 [Ben Laurie]
8097
8098 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8099 [Ben Laurie]
8100
8101 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8102 [Bodo Moeller]
8103
8104
8105 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8106
8107 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8108
8109 *) Updated some demos.
8110 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8111
8112 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8113 [Wu Zhigang]
8114
8115 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8116 [Steve Henson]
8117
8118 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8119 [Steve Henson]
8120
8121 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8122 instead of using a fixed path.
8123 [Bodo Moeller]
8124
8125 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8126 [Andy Polyakov]
8127
8128 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8129 [Richard Levitte]
8130
8131
8132 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8133
8134 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8135 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8136 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8137
8138 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8139 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8140 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8141 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8142 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8143 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8144 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8145 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8146 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8147 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8148 [Steve Henson]
8149
8150 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8151 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8152 [Steve Henson]
8153
8154 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8155 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8156 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8157 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8158 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8159
8160 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8161 [Bodo Moeller]
8162
8163 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8164 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8165 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8166 [Steve Henson]
8167
8168 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8169 [Ben Laurie]
8170
8171 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8172 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8173 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8174 key elements as negative integers.
8175 [Steve Henson]
8176
8177 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8178 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8179
8180 *) VMS support.
8181 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8182
8183 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8184 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8185 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8186 [Steve Henson]
8187
8188 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8189 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8190 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8191 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8192 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8193 [Bodo Moeller]
8194
8195 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8196 [Ulf Möller]
8197
8198 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8199 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8200 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8201 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8202
8203 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8204 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8205 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8206
8207 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8208 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8209 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8210 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8211 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8212 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8213 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8214 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8215 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8216
8217 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8218 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8219 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8220 does not influence s as it used to.
8221
8222 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8223 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8224 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8225 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8226 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8227 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8228 [Bodo Moeller]
8229
8230 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8231 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8232 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8233 key type.
8234 [Steve Henson]
8235
8236 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8237 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8238 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8239 and 'x509').
8240 [Steve Henson]
8241
8242 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8243 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8244 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8245 extension option.
8246 [Steve Henson]
8247
8248 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8249 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8250 [Ben Laurie]
8251
8252 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8253 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8254
8255 *) Support Mingw32.
8256 [Ulf Möller]
8257
8258 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8259 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8260
8261 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8262 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8263
8264 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8265 [Ulf Möller]
8266
8267 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8268 [Anonymous]
8269
8270 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8271 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8272
8273 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8274 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8275 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8276 DER-encoded.)
8277 [Bodo Moeller]
8278
8279 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8280 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8281 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8282 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8283 now it really counts the depth.
8284 [Bodo Moeller]
8285
8286 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8287 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8288 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8289 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8290 didn't match the private key).
8291
8292 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8293 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8294 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8295 [Bodo Moeller]
8296
8297 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8298 [Ulf Möller]
8299
8300 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8301 David Harris.
8302 [Bodo Moeller]
8303
8304 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8305 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8306 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8307 [Bodo Moeller]
8308
8309 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8310 [Bodo Moeller]
8311
8312 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8313 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8314 such as /usr/local/bin.
8315 [Bodo Moeller]
8316
8317 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8318 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8319
8320 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8321 [Ulf Möller]
8322
8323 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8324 extension adding in x509 utility.
8325 [Steve Henson]
8326
8327 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8328 [Ulf Möller]
8329
8330 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8331 prototypes.
8332 [Steve Henson]
8333
8334 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8335 [Ulf Möller]
8336
8337 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8338 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8339 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8340 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8341 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8342 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8343 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8344 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8345 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8346 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8347 [Steve Henson]
8348
8349 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8350 [Bodo Moeller]
8351
8352 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8353 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8354 [Bodo Moeller]
8355
8356 *) Fix some race conditions.
8357 [Bodo Moeller]
8358
8359 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8360 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8361 [Steve Henson]
8362
8363 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8364 [Ulf Möller]
8365
8366 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8367 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8368 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8369 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8370
8371 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8372 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8373
8374 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8375 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8376 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8377
8378 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8379 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8380
8381 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8382 [Ulf Möller]
8383
8384 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8385 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8386
8387 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8388 [Ulf Möller]
8389
8390 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8391 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8392
8393 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8394 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8395 [Steve Henson]
8396
8397 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8398 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8399 [Ben Laurie]
8400
8401 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8402 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8403 [Steve Henson]
8404
8405 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8406 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8407 [Steve Henson]
8408
8409 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8410 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8411 [Steve Henson]
8412
8413 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8414 support typesafe stack.
8415 [Steve Henson]
8416
8417 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8418 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8419
8420 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8421 old X509V3 handling code.
8422 [Steve Henson]
8423
8424 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8425 [Ulf Möller]
8426
8427 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8428 [Bodo Moeller]
8429
8430 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8431 [Ben Laurie]
8432
8433 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8434 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8435
8436 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8437 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8438 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8439 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8440 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8441 [Ben Laurie]
8442
8443 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8444 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8445 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8446 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8447 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8448
8449 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8450 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8451 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8452 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8453
8454 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8455 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8456 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8457 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8458
8459 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8460 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8461 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8462 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8463 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8464 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8465 [Bodo Moeller]
8466
8467 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8468 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8469 [Bodo Moeller]
8470
8471 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8472 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8473 [Ulf Möller]
8474
8475 *) Tweaks to Configure
8476 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8477
8478 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8479 yet...
8480 [Steve Henson]
8481
8482 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8483 [Ulf Möller]
8484
8485 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8486 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8487 [Ulf Möller]
8488
8489 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8490 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8491 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8492 [Bodo Moeller]
8493
8494 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8495 [Bodo Moeller]
8496
8497 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8498 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8499 [Steve Henson]
8500
8501 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8502 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8503 to library startup routines.
8504 [Steve Henson]
8505
8506 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8507 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8508 codes along the way.
8509 [Steve Henson]
8510
8511 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8512 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8513 objects to objects.h
8514 [Steve Henson]
8515
8516 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8517 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8518 [Steve Henson]
8519
8520 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8521 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8522
8523 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8524 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8525 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8526
8527 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8528 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8529 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8530
8531 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8532 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8533 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8534
8535
8536 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8537
8538 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8539 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8540 [Ben Laurie]
8541
8542 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8543 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8544 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8545 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8546 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8547
8548 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8549 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8550 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8551 document.
8552 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8553
8554 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8555 Malloc, Free.
8556 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8557
8558 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8559 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8560
8561 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8562 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8563 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8564 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8565
8566 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8567 [Ben Laurie]
8568
8569 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8570 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8571 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8572 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8573 [Steve Henson]
8574
8575 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8576 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8577 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8578 [Steve Henson]
8579
8580 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8581 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8582 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8583 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8584 installed as `perl').
8585 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8586
8587 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8588 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8589
8590 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8591 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8592 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8593 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8594 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8595 [Steve Henson]
8596
8597 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8598 [Ben Laurie]
8599
8600 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8601 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8602 is horrible: I feel ill....
8603 [Steve Henson]
8604
8605 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8606 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8607 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8608 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8609 [Steve Henson]
8610
8611 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8613
8614 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8615 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8616 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8617 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8618
8619 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8620 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8621 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8622 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8623 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8624 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8625 openssl_bio.xs.
8626 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8627
8628 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8629 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8630
8631 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8632 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8633
8634 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8635 [Ben Laurie]
8636
8637 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8638 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8639 in CRLs.
8640 [Steve Henson]
8641
8642 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8643 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8644 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8645 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8646 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8647 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8648 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8649 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8650 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8651 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8652 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8653
8654 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8655 [Ben Laurie]
8656
8657 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8658 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8659 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8660 for linking it into DSOs.
8661 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8662
8663 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8664 Fixed.
8665 [Ben Laurie]
8666
8667 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8668 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8669 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8670 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8671 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8672 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8673
8674 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8675 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8676 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8677 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8678 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8679 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8680 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8681
8682 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8683 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8684 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8685 encryption.
8686 [Ben Laurie]
8687
8688 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8689 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8690 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8691 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8692 [Steve Henson]
8693
8694 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8695 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8696 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8697 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8698 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8699 field as blank.
8700 [Steve Henson]
8701
8702 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8703 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8704 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8705 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8706 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8707
8708 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8709 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8710 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8711
8712 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8713 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8714
8715 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8716 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8717 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8718 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8719 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8720 [Steve Henson]
8721
8722 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8723 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8724 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8725 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8726 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8727 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8728 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8729 [Ben Laurie]
8730
8731 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8732 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8733 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8734 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8735 [Ben Laurie]
8736
8737 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8738 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8739
8740 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8741 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8742 [Steve Henson]
8743
8744 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8745 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8746 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8747 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8748 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8749 (e.g. s_server).
8750 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8751 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8752 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8753 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8754 no way to reconfigure them.
8755 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8756 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8757 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8758 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8759 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8760 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8761
8762 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8763 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8764 recognized by the users.
8765 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8766
8767 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8768 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8769 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8770 already masked variable.
8771 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8772
8773 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8774 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8775
8776 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8777 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8778 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8779 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8780
8781 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8782 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8783 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8784
8785 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8786 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8787 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8788 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8789 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8790 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8791 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8792 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8793 now, too.
8794 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8795
8796 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8797 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8798 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8799
8800 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8801 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8802 config file.
8803 [Steve Henson]
8804
8805 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8806 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8807
8808 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8809 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8810 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8811 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8812 [Ben Laurie]
8813
8814 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8815 [Steve Henson]
8816
8817 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8818 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8819
8820 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8821 [Ben Laurie]
8822
8823 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8824 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8825 [Steve Henson]
8826
8827 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8828 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8829 [Steve Henson]
8830
8831 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8832 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8833 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8834 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8835 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8836 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8837 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8838 Ben Laurie]
8839
8840 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8841 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8842
8843 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8844 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8845 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8846 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8847 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8848
8849 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8850 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8851 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8852 [Steve Henson]
8853
8854 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8855 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8856 an example.
8857 [Steve Henson]
8858
8859 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8860 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8861 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8862
8863 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8864 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8865 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8866 build instructions.
8867 [Steve Henson]
8868
8869 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8870 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8871 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8872 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8873 [Steve Henson]
8874
8875 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8876 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8877 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8878 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8879 [Ben Laurie]
8880
8881 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8882 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8883 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8884 so it wasn't spotted.
8885 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8886
8887 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8888 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8889 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8890 vectors if you have them.
8891 [Ben Laurie]
8892
8893 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8894 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8895 [Ben Laurie]
8896
8897 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8898 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8899 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8900 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8901 If you do a:
8902 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8903 it will update them.
8904 [Steve Henson]
8905
8906 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8907 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8908 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8909 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8910 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8911 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8912 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8913 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8914
8915 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8916 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8917 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8918 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8919 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8920 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8921 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8922 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8923 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8924 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8925
8926 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8927 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8928 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8929 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8930 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8931 [Steve Henson]
8932
8933 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8934 INTEGER code.
8935 [Steve Henson]
8936
8937 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8938 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8939
8940 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8941 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8942
8943 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8944 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8945 [Ben Laurie]
8946
8947 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8948 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8949
8950 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8951 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8952
8953 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8954 [Steve Henson]
8955
8956 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8957 few typos.
8958 [Steve Henson]
8959
8960 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8961 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8962 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8963 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8964
8965 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8966 [Steve Henson]
8967
8968 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8969 [Steve Henson]
8970
8971 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8972 [Steve Henson]
8973
8974 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8975 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8976 [Steve Henson]
8977
8978 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8979 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8980 CA extensions.
8981 [Steve Henson]
8982
8983 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8984 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8985 [Steve Henson]
8986
8987 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8988 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8989 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8990 [Steve Henson]
8991
8992 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8993 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8994 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8995 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8996 properly to be processed.
8997 [Steve Henson]
8998
8999 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9000 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9001 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9002 [Ben Laurie]
9003
9004 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9005 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9006
9007 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9008 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9009 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9010 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9011 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9012 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9013 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9014 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9015 or delete all the .err files.
9016 [Steve Henson]
9017
9018 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9019 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9020 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9021 to regenerate it if needed.
9022 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9023 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9024
9025 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9026 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9027
9028 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9029 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9030 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9031 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9032 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9033 [Steve Henson]
9034
9035 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9036 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9037
9038 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9039 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9040
9041 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9042 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9043 error, but didn't set one).
9044 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9045
9046 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9047 [Ben Laurie]
9048
9049 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9050 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9051 [Steve Henson]
9052
9053 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9054 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9055
9056 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9057 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9058 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9059 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9060 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9061 OID is not part of the table.
9062 [Steve Henson]
9063
9064 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9065 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9066 [Ben Laurie]
9067
9068 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9069 [Ben Laurie]
9070
9071 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9072 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9073 was "1234").
9074 [Steve Henson]
9075
9076 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9077 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9078
9079 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9080 NULL pointers.
9081 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9082
9083 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9084 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9085
9086 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9087 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9088
9089 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9090 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9091
9092 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9093 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9094 [Ben Laurie]
9095
9096 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9097 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9098 [Steve Henson]
9099
9100 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9101 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9102
9103 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9104 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9105
9106 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9107 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9108
9109 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9110 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9111
9112 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9113 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9114 unused in the certificate verification process.
9115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9116
9117 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9118 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9119 [Steve Henson]
9120
9121 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9122 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9123 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9124
9125 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9126 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9127 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9128 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9129 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9130
9131 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9132 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9133 [Steve Henson]
9134
9135 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9136 [Steve Henson]
9137
9138 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9139 [Paul Sutton]
9140
9141 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9142 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9143
9144 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9145 [Ben Laurie]
9146
9147 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9148 [Ben Laurie]
9149
9150 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9151 [Ben Laurie]
9152
9153 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9154 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9155 other error libraries.
9156 [Steve Henson]
9157
9158 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9159 [Steve Henson]
9160
9161 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9162 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9163 be read in.
9164 [Steve Henson]
9165
9166 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9167 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9168 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9169 the new set of documenation files.
9170 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9171
9172 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9173 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9174 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9175 number of arguments.
9176 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9177
9178 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9179 [Ben Laurie]
9180
9181 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9182 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9183 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9184
9185 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9186 [Ben Laurie]
9187
9188 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9189 nextstep
9190 ncr-scde
9191 unixware-2.0
9192 unixware-2.0-pentium
9193 sco5-cc.
9194 [Ben Laurie]
9195
9196 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9197 before they are needed.
9198 [Ben Laurie]
9199
9200 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9201 [Ben Laurie]
9202
9203
9204 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]

9206 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9207 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9208 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9209
9210 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9211 [Paul Sutton]
9212
9213 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9214 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9215 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9216
9217 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9218 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9219 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9220
9221 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9222 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9223 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9224
9225 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9226 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9227
9228 *) Updated the README file.
9229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9230
9231 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9232 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9233 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9234
9235 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9236 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9237 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9238
9239 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;

9253 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9254
9255 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9256 [Mark J. Cox]
9257
9258 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9259 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9260 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9261 summer 1998.

9339 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9340 [Eric A. Young]
9341
9342 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9343 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9344 [Eric A. Young]
9345
9346 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
