10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
13 the first value.
14 [Jon Spillett]
15
16 *) Deprecated the public definition of ERR_STATE as well as the function
17 ERR_get_state(). This is done in preparation of making ERR_STATE an
18 opaque type.
19 [Richard Levitte]
20
21 *) Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored function
22 names that have replaced the older function code based functions.
23
24 New functions are ERR_get_error_func(), ERR_peek_error_func(),
25 ERR_peek_last_error_func(), ERR_get_error_data(), ERR_peek_error_data(),
26 ERR_peek_last_error_data(), ERR_get_error_all(), ERR_peek_error_all()
27 and ERR_peek_last_error_all().
28
29 These functions have become deprecated: ERR_get_error_line_data(),
30 ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and
31 ERR_func_error_string().
32 [Richard Levitte]
33
34 *) Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
35 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
36
37 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
38 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
39 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
40
41 [Richard Levitte]
42
43 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
44 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
45 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
46 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
47 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
48 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
49 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
50 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
51 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
52 [Nicola Tuveri]
53
54 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
55 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
56 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
57 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
58 (CVE-2019-1547)
59 [Billy Bob Brumley]
60
61 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
62 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
63 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
64 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
65 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
66 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
67 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
68 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
69 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
70 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
71 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
72 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
73 [Bernd Edlinger]
74
75 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
76 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
77 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
78 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
79 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
80 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
81 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
82 [Paul Dale]
83
84 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
85 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
86 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
87 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
88 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
89 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
90 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
91 [Bernd Edlinger]
92
93 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
94 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
95 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
96 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
97 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
98 [Matt Caswell]
99
100 *) Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
101 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
102 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
103 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
104 [Matt Caswell]
105
106 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
107 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
108 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
109 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
110 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
111 BIO_snprintf().
112 [Richard Levitte]
113
114 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
115 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
116 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
117 [Richard Levitte]
118
119 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
120 [Bernd Edlinger]
121
122 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
123 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
124 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
125 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
126 [Bernd Edlinger]
127
128 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
129 [Paul Dale]
130
131 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
132 deprecated.
133 [Rich Salz]
134
135 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
136 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
137 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
138 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
139 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
140 functions for further details.
141 [Matt Caswell]
142
143 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
144 [Matt Caswell]
145
146 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
147 xxx_F_xxx define's.
148
149 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
150 [Rich Salz]
151
152 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
153 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
154 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
155 variables, only functions.
156 [Rich Salz]
157
158 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
159 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
160 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
161 would crash.
162 [Matt Caswell]
163
164 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
165 [Paul Yang]
166
167 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
168 [Tomas Mraz]
169
170 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
171 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
172 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
173 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
174 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
175 To enable or disable these checks use the control
176 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
177 [Shane Lontis]
178
179 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
180 #defines are deprecated.
181 [Todd Short]
182
183 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
184 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
185 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
186 [Kenji Mouri]
187
188 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
189 [Richard Levitte]
190
191 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
192 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
193 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
194 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
195 [Kurt Roeckx]
196
197 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
198 [Shane Lontis]
199
200 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
201 [Shane Lontis]
202
203 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
204 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
205 for scripting purposes.
206 [Richard Levitte]
207
208 *) The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
209 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
210 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
211 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
212 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
213 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
214 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
215 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
216 should not use these modes.
217 [Matt Caswell]
218
219 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
220 [Paul Dale]
221
222 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
223 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
224 [Paul Dale]
225
226 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
227 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
228 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
229 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
230
231 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
232 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
233 The configuration option is now deprecated.
234 [Richard Levitte]
235
236 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
237 digest name in its output.
238 [Richard Levitte]
239
240 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
241 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
242 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
243 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
244
245 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
246 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
247 categories.
248
249 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
250 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
251 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
252 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
253
254 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
255 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
256 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
257
258 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
259 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
260 [Richard Levitte]
261
262 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
263 [Shane Lontis]
264
265 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
266 [Shane Lontis]
267
268 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
269 the core.
270 [Paul Dale]
271
272 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
273 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
274 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
275 to affine coordinates.
276 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
277
278 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
279 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
280 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
281 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
282 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
283 [David Makepeace]
284
285 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
286 [Eneas U de Queiroz]
287
288 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
289 [Antoine Salon]
290
291 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
292 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
293 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
294 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
295 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
296 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
297
298 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
299 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
300 [Bernd Edlinger]
301
302 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
303 [Richard Levitte]
304
305 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
306 [Richard Levitte]
307
308 *) Change the possible version information given with OPENSSL_API_COMPAT.
309 It may be a pre-3.0.0 style numerical version number as it was defined
310 in 1.1.0, and it may also simply take the major version number.
311
312 Because of the version numbering of pre-3.0.0 releases, the values 0,
313 1 and 2 are equivalent to 0x00908000L (0.9.8), 0x10000000L (1.0.0) and
314 0x10100000L (1.1.0), respectively.
315 [Richard Levitte]
316
317 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
318
319 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
320 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
321 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
322 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
323 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
324 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
325 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
326 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
327 [Richard Levitte]
328
329 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
330 [Todd Short]
331
332 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
333 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
334 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
335 [Richard Levitte]
336
337 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
338 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
339 [Richard Levitte]
340
341 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
342 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
343 look into.
344 [Richard Levitte]
345
346 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
347 [Paul Dale]
348
349 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
350 [Richard Levitte]
351
352 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
353 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
354 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
355 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
356 [Richard Levitte]
357
358 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
359 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
360 [Antoine Salon]
361
362 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
363 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
364 are retained for backwards compatibility.
365 [Antoine Salon]
366
367 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
368 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
369 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
370 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
371 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
372 [Paul Dale]
373
374 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
375 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
376 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
377 [Richard Levitte]
378
379 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
380 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
381 [Richard Levitte]
382
383 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
384 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
385 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
386 [Boris Pismenny]
387
388 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
389
390 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
391 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
392 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
393 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
394 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
395 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
396 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
397 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
398 applications.
399 [Matt Caswell]
400
401 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
402
403 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
404
405 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
406 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
407 algorithm to recover the private key.
408
409 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
410 (CVE-2018-0734)
411 [Paul Dale]
412
413 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
414
415 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
416 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
417 algorithm to recover the private key.
418
419 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
420 (CVE-2018-0735)
421 [Paul Dale]
422
423 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
424 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
425 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
426
427 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
428 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
429 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
430 provided by the application.
431
432 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
433
434 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
435 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
436 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
437 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
438 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
439 of the ClientHello
440 [Benjamin Kaduk]
441
442 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
443 [Jack Lloyd]
444
445 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
446 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
447 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
448 [Patrick Steuer]
449
450 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
451 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
452 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
453 [Richard Levitte]
454
455 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
456 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
457 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
458 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
459 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
460 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
461 to work in projective coordinates.
462 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
463
464 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
465 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
466 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
467 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
468 to 2^-128.
469 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
470
471 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
472 [Kurt Roeckx]
473
474 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
475 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
476 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
477 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
478 [Richard Levitte]
479
480 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
481 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
482 [Andy Polyakov]
483
484 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
485 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
486 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
487 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
488 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
489
490 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
491 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
492 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
493 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
494 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
495 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
496
497 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
498 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
499 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
500 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
501 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
502 [Paul Dale]
503
504 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
505 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
506 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
507 authors.
508 [Matt Caswell]
509
510 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
511 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
512 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
513 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
514 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
515 multi-version installation is managed.
516 [Andy Polyakov]
517
518 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
519 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
520 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
521 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
522 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
523 [Billy Bob Brumley]
524
525 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
526 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
527 chosen point SCA attacks.
528 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
529
530 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
531 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
532 [Matt Caswell]
533
534 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
535 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
536 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
537 [Matt Caswell]
538
539 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
540 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
541 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
542 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
543 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
544 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
545 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
546 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
547 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
548 [Kurt Roeckx]
549
550 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
551 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
552 [Richard Levitte]
553
554 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
555 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
556 [Billy Bob Brumley]
557
558 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
559 binary and prime elliptic curves.
560 [Billy Bob Brumley]
561
562 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
563 constant time fixed point multiplication.
564 [Billy Bob Brumley]
565
566 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
567 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
568 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
569 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
570 ECDH derive operations).
571 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
572 Sohaib ul Hassan]
573
574 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
575 [Rich Salz]
576
577 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
578 randomness from the system.
579 [Matthias St. Pierre]
580
581 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
582 [Richard Levitte]
583
584 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
585 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
586 [Matt Caswell]
587
588 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
589 [Matt Caswell]
590
591 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
592 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
593
594 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
595 [Richard Levitte]
596
597 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
598 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
599 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
600 [Matt Caswell]
601
602 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
603 stack.
604 [Rich Salz]
605
606 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
607 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
608 [Bernd Edlinger]
609
610 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
611 [Matt Caswell]
612
613 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
614 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
615 [Matthias St. Pierre]
616
617 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
618 for the license change).
619 [Rich Salz]
620
621 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
622 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
623 [Matt Caswell]
624
625 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
626 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
627 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
628 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
629 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
630 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
631 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
632 [Matt Caswell]
633
634 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
635 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
636 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
637 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
638 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
639 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
640 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
641 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
642 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
643 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
644 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
645 written to stderr.
646 [Viktor Dukhovni]
647
648 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
649 Mike Hamburg.
650 [Matt Caswell]
651
652 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
653 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
654 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
655 get the search data out of them.
656 [Richard Levitte]
657
658 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
659 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
660 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
661 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
662 [Matt Caswell]
663
664 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
665
666 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
667 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
668 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
669 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
670 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
671 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
672
673 Some of its new features are:
674 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
675 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
676 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
677 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
678 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
679 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
680 operation
681 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
682
683 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
684 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
685 to display all sorts of configuration data.
686 [Richard Levitte]
687
688 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
689 [Richard Levitte]
690
691 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
692 [Paul Dale]
693
694 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
695 now been removed.
696 [Rich Salz]
697
698 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
699 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
700 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
701 debug (or make silent).
702 [Richard Levitte]
703
704 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
705 arguments to config / Configure.
706 [Richard Levitte]
707
708 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
709 [Paul Yang]
710
711 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
712 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
713 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
714 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
715
716 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
717 as documented in RFC6066.
718 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
719 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
720
721 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
722 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
723 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
724 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
725
726 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
727 original author does not agree with the license change.
728 [Rich Salz]
729
730 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
731 [Jon Spillett]
732
733 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
734 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
735 [Rich Salz]
736
737 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
738 without clearing the errors.
739 [Richard Levitte]
740
741 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
742 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
743 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
744 [Rich Salz]
745
746 *) Add SHA3.
747 [Andy Polyakov]
748
749 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
750 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
751 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
752 as a fallback).
753
754 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
755 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
756 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
757 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
758 [Richard Levitte]
759
760 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
761 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
762 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
763 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
764 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
765 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
766 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
767 [Richard Levitte]
768
769 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
770 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
771 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
772 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
773 [Richard Levitte]
774
775 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
776 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
777 error code calls like this:
778
779 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
780
781 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
782 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
783 affect new modules.
784 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
785
786 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
787 [Rich Salz]
788
789 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
790 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
791 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
792 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
793 [Richard Levitte]
794
795 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
796 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
797 than just the call where this user data is passed.
798 [Richard Levitte]
799
800 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
801 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
802 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
803
804 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
805 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
806 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
807 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
808 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
809 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
810 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
811 issues.
812 [Matt Caswell]
813
814 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
815 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
816 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
817 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
818 [Richard Levitte]
819
820 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
821 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
822 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
823
824 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
825 does for RSA, etc.
826 [Richard Levitte]
827
828 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
829 platform rather than 'mingw'.
830 [Richard Levitte]
831
832 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
833 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
834 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
835 certificates and CRLs.
836 [Paul Dale]
837
838 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
839 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
840 [Andy Polyakov]
841
842 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
843 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
844 [Richard Levitte]
845
846 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
847 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
848 which is the minimum version we support.
849 [Richard Levitte]
850
851 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
852 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
853 are no longer allowed.
854 [Emilia Käsper]
855
856 *) Add support for ARIA
857 [Paul Dale]
858
859 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
860 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
861 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
862 using "-servername".
863 [Matt Caswell]
864
865 *) Add support for SipHash
866 [Todd Short]
867
868 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
869 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
870 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
871 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
872 [Matt Caswell]
873
874 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
875 using the algorithm defined in
876 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
877 [Richard Levitte]
878
879 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
880 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
881
882 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
883 [Emilia Käsper]
884
885 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
886 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
887 [Rich Salz]
888
889
890 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
891
892 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
893
894 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
895 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
896 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
897 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
898 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
899
900 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
901 (CVE-2018-0732)
902 [Guido Vranken]
903
904 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
905
906 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
907 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
908 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
909 recover the private key.
910
911 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
912 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
913 (CVE-2018-0737)
914 [Billy Brumley]
915
916 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
917 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
918 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
919 [Richard Levitte]
920
921 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
922 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
923 [Andy Polyakov]
924
925 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
926 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
927 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
928 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
929 to 2^-128.
930 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
931
932 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
933 [Kurt Roeckx]
934
935 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
936 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
937 [Matt Caswell]
938
939 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
940 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
941 [Richard Levitte]
942
943 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
944 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
945 are no longer allowed.
946 [Emilia Käsper]
947
948 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
949
950 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
951 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
952 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
953 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
954 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
955 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
956 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
957 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
958 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
959 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
960 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
961 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
962 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
963 [Matt Caswell]
964
965 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
966
967 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
968
969 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
970 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
971 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
972 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
973 so this is considered safe.
974
975 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
976 project.
977 (CVE-2018-0739)
978 [Matt Caswell]
979
980 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
981
982 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
983 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
984 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
985 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
986 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
987 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
988
989 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
990 (IBM).
991 (CVE-2018-0733)
992 [Andy Polyakov]
993
994 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
995 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
996 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
997 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
998 [Richard Levitte]
999
1000 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1001
1002 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1003 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1004 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1005 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1006 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1007
1008 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1009 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1010 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1011 [Matt Caswell]
1012
1013 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1014 exist.
1015 [Rich Salz]
1016
1017 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1018
1019 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1020 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1021 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1022 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1023 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1024 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1025 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1026 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1027 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1028 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1029
1030 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1031 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1032
1033 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1034 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.

1036 [Andy Polyakov]
1037
1038 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1039
1040 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1041
1042 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1043 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1044 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1045 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1046 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1047 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1048 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1049 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1050 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1051 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1052 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1053
1054 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1055 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1056
1057 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1058 (CVE-2017-3736)
1059 [Andy Polyakov]
1060
1061 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1062
1063 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1064 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1065 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1066
1067 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1068 (CVE-2017-3735)
1069 [Rich Salz]
1070
1071 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1072
1073 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1074 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1075 [Richard Levitte]
1076
1077 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1078 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1079 which is the minimum version we support.
1080 [Richard Levitte]
1081
1082 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1083
1084 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1085
1086 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1087 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1088 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1089 and servers are affected.
1090
1091 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1092 (CVE-2017-3733)
1093 [Matt Caswell]
1094
1095 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1096
1097 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1098
1099 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1100 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1101 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1102
1103 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1104 (CVE-2017-3731)
1105 [Andy Polyakov]
1106
1107 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1108
1109 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1110 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1111 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1112 of Service attack.
1113
1114 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1115 (CVE-2017-3730)
1116 [Matt Caswell]
1117
1118 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1119
1120 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1121 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1122 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1123 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1124 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1125 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1126 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1127 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1128 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1129 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1130 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1131 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1132 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1133
1134 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1135 (CVE-2017-3732)

1137
1138 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1139
1140 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1141
1142 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1143 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1144 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1145
1146 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1147 (CVE-2016-7054)
1148 [Richard Levitte]
1149
1150 *) CMS Null dereference
1151
1152 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1153 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1154 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1155 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1156 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1157 affected.
1158
1159 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1160 (CVE-2016-7053)
1161 [Stephen Henson]
1162
1163 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1164
1165 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1166 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1167 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1168 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1169 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1170 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1171 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1172 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1173 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1174 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1175 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1176 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1177 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1178 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1179
1180 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1181 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1182 providing reproducible case.
1183 (CVE-2016-7055)
1184 [Andy Polyakov]
1185
1186 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1187 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1188 [Richard Levitte]
1189
1190 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1191
1192 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1193
1194 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1195 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1196 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1197 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1198 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1199 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1200
1201 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
1202
1203 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
1204 (CVE-2016-6309)
1205 [Matt Caswell]
1206
1207 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1208
1209 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1210
1211 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1212 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1213 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1214 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1215 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1216 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1217 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
1218
1219 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1220 (CVE-2016-6304)
1221 [Matt Caswell]
1222
1223 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1224
1225 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1226 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1227 Denial Of Service attack.
1228
1229 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1230 (CVE-2016-6305)
1231 [Matt Caswell]
1232
1233 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1234 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1235
1236 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1237 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1238 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1239 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1240 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1241 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1242 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1243 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1244 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1245 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1246 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1247 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1248 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1249 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1250 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1251
1252 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1253 that the connection fails
1254 or
1255 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1256 very little free memory
1257 or
1258 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1259 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1260 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1261 memory to service the multiple requests.
1262
1263 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1264 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1265 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1266 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1267 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1269 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1270 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1271 [Matt Caswell]
1272
1273 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1274 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1275 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1276 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1277 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1278 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1279 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1280 [Andy Polyakov]
1281
1282 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1283
1284 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1285 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1286 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1287 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1288 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1289 non-ASCII password.
1290 [Andy Polyakov]
1291
1292 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1293 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1294 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1295 [Rich Salz]
1296
1297 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1298 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1299 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1300 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1301 [Matt Caswell]
1302
1303 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1304 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1305 success.
1306 [Matt Caswell]
1307
1308 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1309 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1310 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1311 no-ops and deprecated.
1312 [Matt Caswell]
1313
1314 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1315 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1316 were also closed.
1317 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1318
1319 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1320 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1321 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1322 [Rich Salz]
1323
1324 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1325 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1326 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1327 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1328 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1329 and the validity of object reference counter.
1330 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1331
1332 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1333 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1334 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1335 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1336 [Richard Levitte]
1337
1338 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1339 [Richard Levitte]
1340
1341 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1342 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1343 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1344 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1345
1346 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1347
1348 [Richard Levitte]
1349
1350 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1351 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1352 [Steve Henson]
1353
1354 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1355 [Andy Polyakov]
1356
1357 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1358 [Rich Salz]
1359
1360 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1361 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1362 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1363 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1364 name and is used as is.
1365 [Richard Levitte]
1366
1367 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1368 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1369 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1370 [Rich Salz]
1371
1372 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1373 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1374 [Matt Caswell]
1375
1376 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1377 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1378 algorithms.
1379 [Matt Caswell]
1380
1381 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1382 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1383 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1384 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1385 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1386 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1387 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1388 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1389 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1390 [Matt Caswell]
1391
1392 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1393 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1394 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1395 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1396
1397 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1398 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1399 these have been added.
1400 [Matt Caswell]
1401
1402 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1403 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1404 functions for managing these have been added.
1405 [Richard Levitte]
1406
1407 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1408 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1409 these have been added.
1410 [Matt Caswell]
1411
1412 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1413 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1414 have been added.
1415 [Matt Caswell]
1416
1417 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1418 [Matt Caswell]
1419
1420 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1421 [Richard Levitte]
1422
1423 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1424 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1425 [Rich Salz]
1426
1427 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1428 [Richard Levitte]
1429
1430 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1431 [Rich Salz]
1432
1433 *) Add support for HKDF.
1434 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1435
1436 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1437 [Bill Cox]
1438
1439 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1440 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1441 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1442 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1443 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1444 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1445 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1446 [Matt Caswell]
1447
1448 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1449 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1450 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1451 [Catriona Lucey]
1452
1453 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1454 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1455 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1456 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1457 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1458 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1459 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1460
1461 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1462 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1463 [Todd Short]
1464
1465 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1466 [Todd Short]
1467
1468 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1469 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1470 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1471 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1472 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1473 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1474 default cipherlist.
1475 [Emilia Käsper]
1476
1477 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1478 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1479 [Rich Salz]
1480
1481 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1482 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1483 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1484 [Matt Caswell]
1485
1486 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1487 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1488 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1489 implemented by other servers.
1490 [Emilia Käsper]
1491
1492 *) Add X25519 support.
1493 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1494 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1495 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1496 key generation and key derivation.
1497
1498 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1499 X25519(29).
1500 [Steve Henson]
1501
1502 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1503 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1504 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1505 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1506 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1507
1508 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1509 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1510 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1511 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1512 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1513 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1514 that of a valid user.
1515 [Emilia Käsper]
1516
1517 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1518 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1519 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1520 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1521
1522 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1523 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1524
1525 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1526 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1527 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1528 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1529
1530 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1531 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1532 irrelevant.
1533 [Richard Levitte]
1534
1535 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1536 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1537 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1538 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1539 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1540 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1541
1542 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1543 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1544 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1545 [Richard Levitte]
1546
1547 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1548 [Rich Salz]
1549
1550 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1551 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1552 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1553 removed.
1554 [Richard Levitte]
1555
1556 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1557 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1558 old #define's might need to be updated.
1559 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1560
1561 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1562 [Rich Salz]
1563
1564 *) New "unified" build system
1565
1566 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1567 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1568
1569 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1570 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1571 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1572
1573 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1574 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1575 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1576 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1577 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1578
1579 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1580 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1581 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1582 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1583 libraries" in INSTALL.
1584
1585 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1586 [Richard Levitte]
1587
1588 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1589 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1590 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1591 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1592 [Matt Caswell]
1593
1594 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1595 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1596
1597 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1598 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1599 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1600 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1601 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1602 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1603 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1604 have been adapted accordingly.
1605 [Richard Levitte]
1606
1607 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1608 the leading 0-byte.
1609 [Emilia Käsper]
1610
1611 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1612 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1613 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1614 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1615 [Emilia Käsper]
1616
1617 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1618 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1619 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1620 'unsigned char*'.
1621 [Emilia Käsper]
1622
1623 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1624 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1625 [Emilia Käsper]
1626
1627 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1628 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1629 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1630 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1631 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1632 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1633 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1634
1635 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1636 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1637
1638 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1639 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1640 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1641 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1642 Text::Template.
1643
1644 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1645 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1646 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1647 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1648 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1649 %target).
1650 [Richard Levitte]
1651
1652 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1653 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1654 straightforward and less interdependent.
1655
1656 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1657 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1658 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1659
1660 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1661 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1662 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1663 installed.
1664 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1665 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1666 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1667 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1668
1669 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1670 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1671 [Richard Levitte]
1672
1673 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1674 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1675 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1676 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1677 is present).
1678 [Matt Caswell]
1679
1680 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1681 configuring.
1682 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1683
1684 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1685 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1686 before trying to build now.*
1687 [Rich Salz]
1688
1689 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1690 has changed.
1691 [Rich Salz]
1692
1693 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1694
1695 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1696 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1697 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1698 used to authenticate the peer.
1699
1700 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1701 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1702 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1703 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1704 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1705 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1706
1707 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1708 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1709 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1710 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1711 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1712 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1713
1714 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1715 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1716 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1717 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1718 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1719 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1720 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1721 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1722 version.
1723
1724 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1725 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1726 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1727 compile with later releases.
1728
1729 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1730 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1731 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1732 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1733 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1734 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1735
1736 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1737 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1738 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1739 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1740 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1741 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1742 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1743 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1744 [Kurt Roeckx]
1745
1746 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1747 [Andy Polyakov]
1748
1749 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1750 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1751 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1752 ECDSA_SIG format.
1753
1754 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1755 include the ec.h header file instead.
1756 [Steve Henson]
1757
1758 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1759 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1760 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1761 [Kurt Roeckx]
1762
1763 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1764 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1765 were added:
1766
1767 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1768 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1769
1770 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1771 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1772 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1773
1774 Additional changes:
1775 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1776 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1777 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1778 an already created structure.
1779 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1780 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1781 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1782 for deprecated builds.
1783 [Richard Levitte]
1784
1785 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1786 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1787 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1788 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1789 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1790 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1791 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1792 [Matt Caswell]
1793
1794 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1795 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1796 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1797 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1798 [Kurt Roeckx]
1799
1800 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1801 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1802 [Kurt Roeckx]
1803
1804 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1805 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1806 [Kurt Roeckx]
1807
1808 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1809 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1810 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1811 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1812 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1813 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1814 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1815 also been removed.
1816 [Matt Caswell]
1817
1818 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1819 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1820 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1821 [Rich Salz]
1822
1823 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1824 [Rich Salz]
1825
1826 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1827 sureware and ubsec.
1828 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1829
1830 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1831
1832 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1833 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1834
1835 FOO *x;
1836
1837 it must be:
1838
1839 FOO x;
1840
1841 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1842 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1843
1844 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1845 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1846 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1847 SEQUENCE OF.
1848 [Steve Henson]
1849
1850 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1851 [Emilia Käsper]
1852
1853 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1854 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1855 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1856 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1857 [Matt Caswell]
1858
1859 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1860 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1861 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1862 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1863 [Emilia Käsper]
1864
1865 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1866 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1867 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1868
1869 *) New testing framework
1870 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1871 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1872 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1873 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1874 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1875 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1876
1877 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1878
1879 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1880 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1881
1882 [Richard Levitte]
1883
1884 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1885 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1886 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1887 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1888 [Rich Salz]
1889
1890 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1891 return an error
1892 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1893
1894 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1895 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1896
1897 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1898 original RSA_PSK patch.
1899 [Steve Henson]
1900
1901 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1902 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1903 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1904 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1905 [Matt Caswell]
1906
1907 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1908 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1909 [Richard Levitte]
1910
1911 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1912 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1913 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1914 [Emilia Käsper]
1915
1916 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1917 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1918 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1919 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1920 transferred.
1921 [Matt Caswell]
1922
1923 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1924 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1925 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1926 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1927 [Matt Caswell]
1928
1929 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1930 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1931 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1932 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1933 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1934 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1935 [Matt Caswell]
1936
1937 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1938 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1939 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1940 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1941 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1942 header file has been removed.
1943 [Matt Caswell]
1944
1945 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1946 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1947 [Matt Caswell]
1948
1949 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1950 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1951 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1952
1953 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1954 Added a test.
1955 [Rich Salz]
1956
1957 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1958 [Rich Salz]
1959
1960 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1961 sha256
1962 [Rich Salz]
1963
1964 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1965 [Matt Caswell]
1966
1967 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1968 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1969 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1970 [Steve Henson]
1971
1972 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1973 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1974 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1975 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1976 [Matt Caswell]
1977
1978 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1979 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1980 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1981 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1982 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1983 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1984 [Matt Caswell]
1985
1986 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1987 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1988 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1989 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1990 [Matt Caswell]
1991
1992 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1993 compatible client hello.
1994 [Kurt Roeckx]
1995
1996 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1997 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1998 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1999
2000 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2001 [Rich Salz]
2002
2003 *) Removed old DES API.
2004 [Rich Salz]
2005
2006 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:

2018 [Rich Salz]
2019
2020 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2021 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2022 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2023 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2024 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2025 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2026 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2027 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP

2029 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2030 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2031 [Rich Salz]
2032
2033 *) Cleaned up dead code
2034 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2035 [Rich Salz]
2036
2037 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2038 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2039 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2040 [Rich Salz]
2041
2042 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2043 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2044 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2045 [Rich Salz]
2046
2047 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2048 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2049 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2050
2051 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2052 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2053 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2054
2055 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2056 compilation flags.
2057 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2058
2059 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2060 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2061 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2062
2063 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2064 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2065
2066 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2067 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2068 server.
2069
2070 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2071 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2072 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2073 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2074
2075 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2076 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2077 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2078 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2079
2080 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2081 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2082 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2083
2084 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2085 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2086 [Steve Henson]
2087
2088 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2089
2090 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2091 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2092
2093 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2094 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2095
2096 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2097 effect.
2098
2099 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2100
2101 [Steve Henson]
2102
2103 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2104 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2105 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2106 algorithms and include tests cases.
2107 [Steve Henson]
2108
2109 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2110 enveloped data.
2111 [Steve Henson]
2112
2113 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2114 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2115 [Steve Henson]
2116
2117 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2118 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2119
2120 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2121 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2122 [Steve Henson]
2123
2124 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2125 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2126 failures.
2127 [Steve Henson]
2128
2129 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2130 sign or verify all in one operation.
2131 [Steve Henson]
2132
2133 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2134 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2135 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2136 [Steve Henson]
2137
2138 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2139 [Steve Henson]
2140
2141 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2142 [Steve Henson]
2143
2144 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2145 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2146 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2147 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2148 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2149 [Steve Henson]
2150
2151 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2152 based on NID.
2153 [Steve Henson]
2154
2155 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2156 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2157 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2158 [Steve Henson]
2159
2160 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2161 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2162
2163 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2164 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2165 [Steve Henson]
2166
2167 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2168 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2169 [Steve Henson]
2170
2171 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2172 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2173 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2174 [Steve Henson]
2175
2176 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2177 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2178 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2179 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2180 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2181 requested amount of entropy.
2182 [Steve Henson]
2183
2184 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2185 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2186 [Steve Henson]
2187
2188 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2189 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2190 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2191 support.
2192 [Steve Henson]
2193
2194 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2195 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2196 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2197 [Steve Henson]
2198
2199 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2200 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2201 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2202 will never use XTS mode.
2203 [Steve Henson]
2204
2205 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2206 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2207 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2208 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2209 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2210 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2211 [Steve Henson]
2212
2213 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2214 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2215 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2216 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2217 [Steve Henson]
2218
2219 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2220 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2221 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2222 [Steve Henson]
2223
2224 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2225 [Steve Henson]
2226
2227 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2228 [Steve Henson]
2229
2230 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2231 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2232 [Steve Henson]
2233
2234 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2235 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2236 [Steve Henson]
2237
2238 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2239 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2240 [Steve Henson]
2241
2242 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2243 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2244 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2245 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2246 and rename any affected symbols.
2247 [Steve Henson]
2248
2249 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2250 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2251 [Steve Henson]
2252
2253 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2254 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2255 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2256 [Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2259 [Steve Henson]
2260
2261 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2262 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2263 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2264 [Steve Henson]
2265
2266 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2267 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2268 [Steve Henson]
2269
2270 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2271 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2272 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2273 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2274 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2275 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2276 set before the key.
2277 [Steve Henson]
2278
2279 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2280 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2281 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2282 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2283 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2284 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2285 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2286 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2287 [Steve Henson]
2288
2289 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2290 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2291 [Steve Henson]
2292
2293 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2294
2295 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2296 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2297
2298 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2299 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2300 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2301 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2302 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2303 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2304
2305 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2306 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2307 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2308 security.
2309 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2310
2311 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2312 parameters by name.
2313 [Steve Henson]
2314
2315 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2316 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2317 [Steve Henson]
2318
2319 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2320 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2321 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2322 [Steve Henson]
2323
2324 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2325 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2326 multi-process servers.
2327 [Steve Henson]
2328
2329 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2330 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2331 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2332 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2333 RAND_METHOD structure.
2334 [Steve Henson]
2335
2336 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2337 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2338 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2339 whose return value is often ignored.
2340 [Steve Henson]
2341
2342 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2343 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2344 validated when establishing a connection.
2345 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
2346
2347 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2348
2349 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2350
2351 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2352 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2353 AES-NI.
2354
2355 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2356 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2357 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2358 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2359 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2360 bytes.
2361
2362 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2363 (CVE-2016-2107)
2364 [Kurt Roeckx]
2365
2366 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2367
2368 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2369 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2370 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2371 corruption.
2372
2373 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2374 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2375 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2376 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2377 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2378 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2379
2380 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2381 (CVE-2016-2105)
2382 [Matt Caswell]
2383
2384 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2385
2386 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2387 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2388 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2389 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2390 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2391 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2392 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2393 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2394 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2395 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2396 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2397 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2398 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2399 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2400 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2401 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2402
2403 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2404 (CVE-2016-2106)
2405 [Matt Caswell]
2406
2407 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2408
2409 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2410 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2411 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2412
2413 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2414 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2415 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2416 applications are not affected.
2417
2418 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2419 (CVE-2016-2109)
2420 [Stephen Henson]
2421
2422 *) EBCDIC overread
2423
2424 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2425 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2426 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2427
2428 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2429 (CVE-2016-2176)
2430 [Matt Caswell]
2431
2432 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2433 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2434 [Todd Short]
2435
2436 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2437 default.
2438 [Kurt Roeckx]
2439
2440 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2441 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2442 [Kurt Roeckx]
2443
2444 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2445
2446 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2447 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2448 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2449 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2450
2451 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2452 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2453 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2454 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2455 will need to explicitly call either of:
2456
2457 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2458 or
2459 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2460
2461 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2462 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2463 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2464 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2465 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2466 (CVE-2016-0800)
2467 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2468
2469 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2470
2471 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2472 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2473 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2474 considered rare.
2475
2476 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2477 libFuzzer.

2479 [Stephen Henson]
2480
2481 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2482
2483 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2484
2485 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2486 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2487 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2488 is configured.
2489
2490 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2491 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2492 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2493 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2494 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2495 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2496 that of a valid user.

2498 [Emilia Käsper]
2499
2500 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2501
2502 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2503 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2504 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2505 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2506 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2507 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2508 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2509 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2510 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2511 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2512 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2513
2514 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2515 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2516 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2517 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2518 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

2521 (CVE-2016-0797)
2522 [Matt Caswell]
2523
2524 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2525
2526 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2527 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2528 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2529
2530 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2531 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2532 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2533 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2534 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2535 also occur.
2536
2537 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2538 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2539 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2540 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2541 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2542 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2543 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2544 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2545 as command line arguments.
2546
2547 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2548 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2549 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

2554
2555 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2556
2557 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2558 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2559 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2560 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2561 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2562
2563 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2564 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

2575
2576 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2577 *) DH small subgroups
2578
2579 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2580 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2581 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2582 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2583 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2584 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2585 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2586 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2587 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2588 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2589
2590 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2591 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2592 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2593 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2594 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2595
2596 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2597 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2598 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2599 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2600
2601 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2602 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2603

2609
2610 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2611 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2612 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2613 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2622 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2623
2624 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2625 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2626 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2627 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2628 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2629 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2630 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2631 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2632 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2633 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2634 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2635 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2641 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2642
2643 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2644 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2645 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2646 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2647 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2648 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2649 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2650 authentication.

2659 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2660 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2661 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

2680 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2681
2682 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2683 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2684 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2685 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2686 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2687 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2703
2704 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2705 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2706 field.
2707
2708 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2709 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2710 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2711 client authentication enabled.

2716
2717 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2718
2719 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2720 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2721 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2722 time string.
2723
2724 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2725 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2726 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2727 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2728 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2729 callbacks.

2740 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2741

2776
2777 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an

2779 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.

2784 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2785
2786 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2787
2788 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2789 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2790 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2791 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2792 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2793 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2794 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2795 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2796
2797 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2798 (CVE-2015-0290)
2799 [Matt Caswell]
2800
2801 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2802
2803 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2804 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2805 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2806 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2807 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2808 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2809 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2810 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2811 server.

2816
2817 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2818
2819 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2820 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2821 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2822 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2823 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2824 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2825 (CVE-2015-0286)
2826 [Stephen Henson]
2827
2828 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2829
2830 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2831 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2832 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2833 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2834 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2835 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2836 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

2840 [Stephen Henson]
2841
2842 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2843
2844 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2845 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2846 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2847
2848 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2849 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2850 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2851 not affected.

2857 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2858 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2859 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2860
2861 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2862 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2863 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.

2879
2880 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2881
2882 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2883 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2884 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2885 (CVE-2015-1787)
2886 [Matt Caswell]
2887
2888 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2889
2890 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2891 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2892 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2893 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2894 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2895 SSL_client_methodv23)
2896 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2897 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2898
2899 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2900 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2901 output may be predictable.
2902
2903 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2904 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2905
2906 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

2910 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2911
2912 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2913 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2914 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2915 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2916 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2917 sources. This scenario is considered rare.

2960 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2961 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2962 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2963 [Andy Polyakov]
2964
2965 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2966 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2967
2968 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2969 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2970 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2971 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2972 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2973
2974 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2975 [Andy Polyakov]
2976
2977 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2978 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2979 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2980 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2981
2982 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2983 RSAZ.
2984 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2985
2986 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2987 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2988 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2989 for TLS encrypt.
2990
2991 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2992 [Andy Polyakov]
2993
2994 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2995 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2996 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2997 [Steve Henson]
2998
2999 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3000 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3001 [Steve Henson]
3002
3003 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3004 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3005 [Steve Henson]
3006
3007 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3008 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3009 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3010 algorithms and include tests cases.
3011 [Steve Henson]
3012
3013 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3014 structure.
3015 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3016
3017 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3018 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3019 [Steve Henson]
3020
3021 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3022 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3023 summary of the connection parameters.
3024 [Steve Henson]
3025
3026 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3027 of connection parameters.
3028 [Steve Henson]
3029
3030 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3031 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
3032
3033 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3034 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3035 [Steve Henson]
3036
3037 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3038 [Steve Henson]
3039
3040 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3041 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3045 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3046 [Steve Henson]
3047
3048 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3049 certificates.
3050 [Steve Henson]
3051
3052 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3053 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3054 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3055 [Steve Henson]
3056
3057 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3058 [Steve Henson]
3059
3060 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3061 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3062 [Steve Henson]
3063
3064 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3065 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3066 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3067 tracing.
3068 [Steve Henson]
3069
3070 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3071 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3072 [Steve Henson]
3073
3074 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3075 OID NID.
3076 [Steve Henson]
3077
3078 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3079 client to OpenSSL.
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3083 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3084 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3085 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3086 [Steve Henson]
3087
3088 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3089 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3090 [Steve Henson]
3091
3092 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3093 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3094 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3095 comparison.
3096 [Steve Henson]
3097
3098 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3099 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3100 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3101 use the certificate.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3105 [Steve Henson]
3106
3107 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3108 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3109 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3110 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3111 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3112 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3113 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3114
3115 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3116 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3117
3118 [Steve Henson]
3119
3120 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3121 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3122 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3123 [Steve Henson]
3124
3125 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3126 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3127 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3128 supported signature algorithms.
3129 [Steve Henson]
3130
3131 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3132 [Steve Henson]
3133
3134 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3135 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3136 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3137 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3138 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3139 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3140 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3141 [Steve Henson]
3142
3143 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3144 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3145 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3146 to have similar checks in it.
3147
3148 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3149 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3150 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3151 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3152 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3156 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3157 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3158 shared signature algorithms.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3162 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3163 to support them.
3164 [Steve Henson]
3165
3166 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3167 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3168 it couldn't be removed.
3169 [Steve Henson]
3170
3171 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3172 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3176 functions. Add manual page.
3177 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3178
3179 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3180 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3181 a certificate.
3182 [Steve Henson]
3183
3184 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3185 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3186
3187 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3188 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3189 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3190 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3191 utility) or reject.
3192 [Steve Henson]
3193
3194 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3195 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3196 [Steve Henson]
3197
3198 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3199 platform support for Linux and Android.
3200 [Andy Polyakov]
3201
3202 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3203 [Andy Polyakov]
3204
3205 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3206 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3207 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3208 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3209 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3210 [Steve Henson]
3211
3212 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3213 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3214 the new parameter format automatically.
3215 [Steve Henson]
3216
3217 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3218 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3219 [Steve Henson]
3220
3221 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3222 [Steve Henson]
3223
3224 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3225 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3226 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3227 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3228 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3229 [Steve Henson]
3230
3231 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3232 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3233 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3234 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3235 to set list of supported curves.
3236 [Steve Henson]
3237
3238 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3239 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3240 to print out received values.
3241 [Steve Henson]
3242
3243 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3244 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3245 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3246 [Steve Henson]
3247
3248 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3249 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3250 [Steve Henson]
3251
3252 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3253 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3254 [Steve Henson]
3255
3256 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3257 certificates.
3258 [Steve Henson]
3259
3260 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3261 the certificate.
3262 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3263 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3264 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3265
3266 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3267
3268 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3269 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3270
3271 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3272
3273 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3274 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3275 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3276 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3277 (CVE-2014-3571)
3278 [Steve Henson]
3279
3280 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3281 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3282 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3283 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3284 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3285 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3286 (CVE-2015-0206)
3287 [Matt Caswell]
3288
3289 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3290 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3291 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3292 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3293 (CVE-2014-3569)
3294 [Kurt Roeckx]
3295
3296 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3297 ECDH ciphersuites.
3298
3299 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3300 reporting this issue.
3301 (CVE-2014-3572)
3302 [Steve Henson]
3303
3304 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3305 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3306 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3307 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3308 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3309 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3310 (CVE-2015-0204)
3311 [Steve Henson]
3312
3313 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3314 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3315 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3316 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3317 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3318 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3319 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3320 this issue.
3321 (CVE-2015-0205)
3322 [Steve Henson]
3323
3324 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3325 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3326
3327 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3328 and can vary with the CTX.
3329 [Adam Langley]
3330
3331 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3332
3333 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3334 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3335 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3336 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3337 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3338
3339 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3340
3341 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3342 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3343
3344 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3345
3346 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3347 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3348 errors for some broken certificates.
3349
3350 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3351
3352 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3353
3354 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3355 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3356
3357 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3358 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3359 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3360 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3361
3362 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3363 of the OpenSSL core team.
3364
3365 (CVE-2014-8275)
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3369 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3370 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3371 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3372 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3373 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3374 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3375 the OpenSSL core team.
3376 (CVE-2014-3570)
3377 [Andy Polyakov]
3378
3379 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3380 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3381 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3382 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3383 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3384
3385 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3386 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3387 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3388 [Emilia Käsper]
3389
3390 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3391 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3392 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3393 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3394 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3395
3396 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3397 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3398 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3399 [Emilia Käsper]
3400
3401 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3402
3403 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3404
3405 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3406 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3407 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3408 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3409 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3410 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3411 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3412
3413 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3414 (CVE-2014-3513)
3415 [OpenSSL team]
3416
3417 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3418
3419 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3420 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3421 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3422 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3423 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3424 attack.
3425 (CVE-2014-3567)
3426 [Steve Henson]
3427
3428 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3429
3430 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3431 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3432 configured to send them.
3433 (CVE-2014-3568)
3434 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3435
3436 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3437 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3438 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3439 (CVE-2014-3566)
3440 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3441
3442 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3443
3444 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3445 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3446 DigestInfo structures.
3447
3448 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3449
3450 [Steve Henson]
3451
3452 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3453
3454 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3455 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3456 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3457
3458 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3459 Group for discovering this issue.
3460 (CVE-2014-3512)
3461 [Steve Henson]
3462
3463 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3464 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3465 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3466 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3467 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3468
3469 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3470 researching this issue.
3471 (CVE-2014-3511)
3472 [David Benjamin]
3473
3474 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3475 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3476 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3477 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3478
3479 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3480 issue.
3481 (CVE-2014-3510)
3482 [Emilia Käsper]
3483
3484 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3485 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3486 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3487 (CVE-2014-3507)
3488 [Adam Langley]
3489
3490 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3491 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3492 Denial of Service attack.
3493 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3494 (CVE-2014-3506)
3495 [Adam Langley]
3496
3497 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3498 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3499 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3500 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3501 this issue.
3502 (CVE-2014-3505)
3503 [Adam Langley]
3504
3505 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3506 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3507 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3508
3509 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3510 issue.
3511 (CVE-2014-3509)
3512 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3513
3514 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3515 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3516 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3517 Denial of Service attack.
3518
3519 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3520 discovering and researching this issue.
3521 (CVE-2014-5139)
3522 [Steve Henson]
3523
3524 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3525 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3526 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3527 output to the attacker.
3528
3529 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3530 (CVE-2014-3508)
3531 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3532
3533 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3534 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3535 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3536 [Bodo Moeller]
3537
3538 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3539
3540 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3541 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3542 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3543
3544 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3545 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3546 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3547
3548 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3549 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3550 in a DoS attack.
3551
3552 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3553 (CVE-2014-0221)
3554 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3555
3556 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3557 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3558 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3559 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3560
3561 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3562 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3563
3564 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3565 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3566
3567 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3568 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3569 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3570
3571 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3572 compilation flags.
3573 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3574
3575 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3576 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3577 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3578
3579 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3580 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3581
3582 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3583
3584 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3585 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3586 server.
3587
3588 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3589 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3590 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3591 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3592
3593 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3594 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3595 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3596 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3597
3598 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3599 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3600 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3601
3602 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3603
3604 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3605 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3606 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3607 is at least 512 bytes long.
3608
3609 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3610
3611 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3612
3613 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3614 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3615 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3616 (CVE-2013-4353)
3617
3618 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3619 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3620 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3621 [Steve Henson]
3622
3623 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3624 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3625 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3626 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3627 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3628 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3629 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3630
3631 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3632
3633 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3634 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3635 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3636
3637 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3638
3639 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3640
3641 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3642 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3643 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3644
3645 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3646 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3647 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3648 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3649 (CVE-2013-0169)
3650 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3651
3652 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3653 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3654 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3655 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3656 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3657 (CVE-2012-2686)
3658 [Adam Langley]
3659
3660 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3661 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3662 [Steve Henson]
3663
3664 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3665 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3666
3667 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3668 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3669 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3670 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3671 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3672
3673 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3674 [Steve Henson]
3675
3676 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3677 if renegotiating.
3678 [Steve Henson]
3679
3680 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3681
3682 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3683 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3684
3685 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3686 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3687 (CVE-2012-2333)
3688 [Steve Henson]
3689
3690 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3691 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3692 [Steve Henson]
3693
3694 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3695 approved.
3696 [Steve Henson]
3697
3698 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3699
3700 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3701 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3702 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3703 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3704 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3705 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3706 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3707 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3708 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3709 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3710 [Steve Henson]
3711
3712 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3713 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3714 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3715 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3716 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3717 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3718 client side.
3719 [Andy Polyakov]
3720
3721 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3722
3723 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3724 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3725 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3726
3727 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3728 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3729 (CVE-2012-2110)
3730 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3731
3732 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3733 [Adam Langley]
3734
3735 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3736 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3737
3738 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3739 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3740 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3741 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3742 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3743 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3744 Most broken servers should now work.
3745 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3746 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3747 [Steve Henson]
3748
3749 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3750 [Andy Polyakov]
3751
3752 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3753
3754 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3755 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3756 [Steve Henson]
3757
3758 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3759 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3760 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3761 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3762 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3763 [Steve Henson]
3764
3765 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3766 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3767 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3768 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3769 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3770 [Steve Henson]
3771
3772 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3773 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3774
3775 *) Add support for SCTP.
3776 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3777
3778 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3779 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3780
3781 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3782
3783 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3784 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3785 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3786 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3787 - s390x: z196 support;
3788 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3789
3790 [Andy Polyakov]
3791
3792 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3793 (removal of unnecessary code)
3794 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3795
3796 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3797 [Eric Rescorla]
3798
3799 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3800 [Eric Rescorla]
3801
3802 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3803 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3804 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3805 by Google.
3806 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3807
3808 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3809 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3810 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3811 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3812 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3813
3814 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3815 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3816 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3817
3818 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3819 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3820 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3821
3822 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3823 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3824 implementations).
3825 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3826
3827 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3828 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3829 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3830 [Steve Henson]
3831
3832 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3833 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3834 particular PSS.
3835 [Steve Henson]
3836
3837 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3838 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3839 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3840 [Steve Henson]
3841
3842 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3843 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3844 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3845 the appropriate parameters.
3846 [Steve Henson]
3847
3848 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3849 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3850 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3851 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3852 against a number of sample certificates.
3853 [Steve Henson]
3854
3855 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3856 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3857
3858 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3859 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3860
3861 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3862 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3863 parameters r, s.
3864 [Steve Henson]
3865
3866 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3867 RFC3211.
3868 [Steve Henson]
3869
3870 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3871 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3872 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3873 password based CMS).
3874 [Steve Henson]
3875
3876 *) Session-handling fixes:
3877 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3878 but also support Session Tickets.
3879 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3880 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3881 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3882 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3883 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3884 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3885
3886 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3887 [Bodo Moeller]
3888
3889 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3890
3891 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3892 [Andy Polyakov]
3893
3894 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3895 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3896 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3897 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3898 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3899 [Steve Henson]
3900
3901 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3902 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3903 [Steve Henson]
3904
3905 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3906 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3907 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3908 [Steve Henson]
3909
3910 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3911 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3912 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3913 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3914 [Steve Henson]
3915
3916 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3917 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3918 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3919 [Steve Henson]
3920
3921 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3922 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3923
3924 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3925 [Steve Henson]
3926
3927 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3928 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3929 [Steve Henson]
3930
3931 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3932 [Steve Henson]
3933
3934 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3935 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3936 [Steve Henson]
3937
3938 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3939 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3940 [Steve Henson]
3941
3942 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3943 [Steve Henson]
3944
3945 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3946 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3947 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3948 [Steve Henson]
3949
3950 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3951 [Steve Henson]
3952
3953 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3954 [Steve Henson]
3955
3956 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3957 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3958 [Steve Henson]
3959
3960 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3961 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3962 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3963 [Steve Henson]
3964
3965 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3966 [Steve Henson]
3967
3968 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3969 and enable MD5.
3970 [Steve Henson]
3971
3972 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3973 FIPS modules versions.
3974 [Steve Henson]
3975
3976 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3977 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3978 until after the certificate request message is received.
3979 [Steve Henson]
3980
3981 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3982 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3983 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3984 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3985 [Steve Henson]
3986
3987 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3988 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3989 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3990 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3991 [Steve Henson]
3992
3993 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3994 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3995 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3996 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3997 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3998 and version checking.
3999 [Steve Henson]
4000
4001 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4002 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4003 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4004 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4005 [Steve Henson]
4006
4007 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4008 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4009 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
4010 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
4011 Ben Laurie]
4012
4013 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4014 [Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4017 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4018 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4019
4020 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4021 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4022 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4023 [Steve Henson]
4024
4025 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4026 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4027
4028 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4029 a few changes are required:
4030
4031 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4032 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4033 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4034 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4035 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4036 [Steve Henson]
4037
4038 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4039
4040 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4041 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4042 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4043 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4044 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4045 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4046 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4047 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4048 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4049 [Steve Henson]
4050
4051 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4052 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4053 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4054 [Steve Henson]
4055
4056 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4057
4058 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4059 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4060 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4061 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4062 [Antonio Martin]
4063
4064 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4065
4066 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4067 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4068 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4069 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4070 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4071 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4072 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4073 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4074 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4075 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4076 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4077 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4078 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4079
4080 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4081 (CVE-2011-4576)
4082 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4083
4084 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4085 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4086 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4087 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4088
4089 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4090 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4091
4092 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4093 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4094 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4095 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4096
4097 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4098 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4099
4100 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4101 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4102
4103 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4104 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4105
4106 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4107 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4108 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4109
4110 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4111 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4112 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4113
4114 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4115 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4116 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4117 the last update always remained unused).
4118 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4119
4120 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4121 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4122
4123 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4124
4125 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4126 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4127 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4128
4129 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4130 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4131 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4132
4133 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4134 [Bodo Moeller]
4135
4136 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4137 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4138 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4139 [Steve Henson]
4140
4141 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4142 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4143
4144 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4145
4146 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4147
4148 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4149
4150 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4151 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4152
4153 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4154 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4155 ambiguous.
4156 [Steve Henson]
4157
4158 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4159
4160 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4161 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4162 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4163 [Steve Henson]
4164
4165 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4166 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4167 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4168 [Ben Laurie]
4169
4170 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4171
4172 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4173 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4174 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4175 [Steve Henson]
4176
4177 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4178 a DLL.
4179 [Steve Henson]
4180
4181 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4182
4183 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4184 (CVE-2010-1633)
4185 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4186
4187 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4188
4189 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4190 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4191 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4192 [Steve Henson]
4193
4194 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4195 [Steve Henson]
4196
4197 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4198 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4199 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4200
4201 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4202 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4203 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4204 [Steve Henson]
4205
4206 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4207 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4208 [Steve Henson]
4209
4210 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4211 some responders need this.
4212 [Steve Henson]
4213
4214 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4215 correctly.
4216 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4217
4218 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4219 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4220 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4221 [Steve Henson]
4222
4223 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4224 [Steve Henson]
4225
4226 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4227 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4228 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4229 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4230 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4231 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4232 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4233 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4234 [Steve Henson]
4235
4236 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4237 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4238 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4239 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4240
4241 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4242 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4243
4244 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4245 be used on C++.
4246 [Steve Henson]
4247
4248 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4249 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4250 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4251 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4252 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4253 attempting to work them out.
4254 [Steve Henson]
4255
4256 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4257 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4258 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4259 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4260 [Steve Henson]
4261
4262 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4263 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4264 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4265 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4266 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4267 [Steve Henson]
4268
4269 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4270 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4271 you can do:
4272
4273 openssl sha256 foo
4274
4275 as well as:
4276
4277 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4278
4279 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4280
4281 [Steve Henson]
4282
4283 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4284 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4285
4286 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4287 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4288
4289 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4290 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4291 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4292 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4293 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4294 [Steve Henson]
4295
4296 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4297 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4298 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4299 [Steve Henson]
4300
4301 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4302 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4303 [Steve Henson]
4304
4305 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4306 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4307
4308 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4309 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4310 [Steve Henson]
4311
4312 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4313 [Ben Laurie]
4314
4315 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4316 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4317 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4318 CONF_VALUE.
4319 [Ben Laurie]
4320
4321 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4322 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4323 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4324 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4325 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4326 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4327 [Steve Henson]
4328
4329 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4330 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4331
4332 This work was sponsored by Google.
4333 [Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4336 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4337 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4338 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4339 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4340 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4341 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4342 default.
4343
4344 This work was sponsored by Google.
4345 [Steve Henson]
4346
4347 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4348
4349 This work was sponsored by Google.
4350 [Steve Henson]
4351
4352 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4353 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4354 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4355 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4356
4357 This work was sponsored by Google.
4358 [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4361 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4362 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4363 CRL functionality in future.
4364
4365 This work was sponsored by Google.
4366 [Steve Henson]
4367
4368 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4369
4370 This work was sponsored by Google.
4371 [Steve Henson]
4372
4373 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4374 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4375
4376 This work was sponsored by Google.
4377 [Steve Henson]
4378
4379 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4380 and URI types are currently supported.
4381
4382 This work was sponsored by Google.
4383 [Steve Henson]
4384
4385 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4386 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4387 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4388 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4389 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4390 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4391 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4392 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4393
4394 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4395 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4396 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4397
4398 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4399 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4400 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4401 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4402
4403 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4404 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4405 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4406 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4407 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4408 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4409 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4410 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4411 of &errno.)
4412 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4413
4414 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4415 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4416 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4417
4418 This work was sponsored by Google.
4419 [Steve Henson]
4420
4421 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4422 [Ben Laurie]
4423
4424 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4425 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4426 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4427 [Ben Laurie]
4428
4429 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4430 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4431 [Nick Mathewson]
4432
4433 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4434 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4435 [Ben Laurie]
4436
4437 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4438 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4439 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4440 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4441 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4442 content types and variants.
4443 [Steve Henson]
4444
4445 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4446 [Steve Henson]
4447
4448 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4449 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4450 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4451 files from the associated perl scripts.
4452 [Steve Henson]
4453
4454 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4455 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4456 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4457
4458 *) s390x assembler pack.
4459 [Andy Polyakov]
4460
4461 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4462 "family."
4463 [Andy Polyakov]
4464
4465 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4466 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4467 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4468 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4469 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4470 to use. For example, specify an option
4471
4472 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4473
4474 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4475 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4476 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4477 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4478 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4479 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4480
4481 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4482 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4483 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4484 return non-zero for success.
4485
4486 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4487 by using
4488
4489 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4490 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4491
4492 where
4493
4494 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4495 void *arg;
4496
4497 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4498 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4499 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4500 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4501 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4502 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4503 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4504 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4505 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4506
4507 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4508 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4509 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4510 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4511 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4512 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4513
4514 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4515 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4516 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4517 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4518 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4519 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4520
4521 [Bodo Moeller]
4522
4523 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4524 MAC.
4525
4526 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4527
4528 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4529 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4530 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4531 supported.
4532
4533 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4534 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4535 SSL_SESSION.
4536
4537 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4538 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4539 with no application modification.
4540
4541 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4542 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4543
4544 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4545 or server extensions to be examined.
4546
4547 This work was sponsored by Google.
4548 [Steve Henson]
4549
4550 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4551 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4552 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4553
4554 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4555 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4556 ciphersuite support.
4557 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4558
4559 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4560 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4561 to output in BER and PEM format.
4562 [Steve Henson]
4563
4564 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4565 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4566 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4567 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4568 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4569 [Steve Henson]
4570
4571 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4572 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4573 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4574 utility.
4575 [Steve Henson]
4576
4577 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4578 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4579 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4580 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4581 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4582 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4583 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4584 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4585 enabled again.
4586
4587 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4588 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4589 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4590 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4591
4592 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4593 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4594 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4595 the default order.
4596 [Bodo Moeller]
4597
4598 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4599 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4600 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4601 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4602 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4603 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4604 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4605 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4606 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4607
4608 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4609 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4610 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4611 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4612 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4613 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4614 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4615 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4616 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4617 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4618 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4619 kinds of kludges.
4620
4621 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4622 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4623 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4624
4625 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4626 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4627 "CAMELLIA256".
4628 [Bodo Moeller]
4629
4630 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4631 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4632 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4633 [Nils Larsch]
4634
4635 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4636 it yet and it is largely untested.
4637 [Steve Henson]
4638
4639 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4640 [Nils Larsch]
4641
4642 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4643 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4644 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4645 [Steve Henson]
4646
4647 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4648 [Andy Polyakov]
4649
4650 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4651 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4652 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4653 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4654 [Steve Henson]
4655
4656 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4657 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4658 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4659 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4660 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4661 [Steve Henson]
4662
4663 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4664 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4665 [Cryptocom]
4666
4667 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4668 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4669 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4670 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4671 [Steve Henson]
4672
4673 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4674 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4675 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4676 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4677 [Steve Henson]
4678
4679 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4680 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4681 [Steve Henson]
4682
4683 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4684 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4685 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4686 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4687 [Steve Henson]
4688
4689 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4690 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4691 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4692 [Steve Henson]
4693
4694 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4695 utility.
4696 [Steve Henson]
4697
4698 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4699 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4700 [Steve Henson]
4701
4702 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4703 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4704 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4705 if necessary.
4706 [Steve Henson]
4707
4708 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4709 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4710 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4711 [Steve Henson]
4712
4713 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4714 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4715 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4716 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4717 [Steve Henson]
4718
4719 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4720 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4721 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4722 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4723 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4724 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4725 [Douglas Stebila]
4726
4727 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4728 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4729 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4730 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4731 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4732
4733 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4734 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4735 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4736 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4737 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4738 protocol).
4739
4740 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4741 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4742 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4743 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4744
4745 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4746 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4747 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4748 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4749 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4750
4751 aECDH - ECDH cert
4752 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4753 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4754
4755 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4756 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4757
4758 [Bodo Moeller]
4759
4760 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4761 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4762 [Steve Henson]
4763
4764 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4765 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4766 [Steve Henson]
4767
4768 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4769 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4770 functional reference processing.
4771 [Steve Henson]
4772
4773 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4774 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4775 process.
4776 [Steve Henson]
4777
4778 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4779 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4780 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4781 [Steve Henson]
4782
4783 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4784 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4785 application to support multiple signers.
4786 [Steve Henson]
4787
4788 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4789 digest MAC.
4790 [Steve Henson]
4791
4792 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4793 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4794 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4795 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4796 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4797 [Steve Henson]
4798
4799 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4800 new API.
4801 [Steve Henson]
4802
4803 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4804 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4805 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4806 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4807 a no op.
4808 [Steve Henson]
4809
4810 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4811 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4812 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4813 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4814 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4815 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4816 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4817 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4818 [Steve Henson]
4819
4820 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4821 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4822 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4823 between digests and public key types.
4824 [Steve Henson]
4825
4826 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4827 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4828 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4829 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4830 [Steve Henson]
4831
4832 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4833 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4834 key ASN1 method.
4835 [Steve Henson]
4836
4837 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4838 [Steve Henson]
4839
4840 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4841 pkeyutl.
4842 [Steve Henson]
4843
4844 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4845 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4846 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4847 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4848 pkey, genpkey.
4849 [Steve Henson]
4850
4851 *) BeOS support.
4852 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4853
4854 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4855 manual pages.
4856 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4857
4858 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4859 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4860 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4861 functionality for RSA.
4862 [Steve Henson]
4863
4864 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4865 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4866 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4867 [Steve Henson]
4868
4869 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4870 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4871 [Steve Henson]
4872
4873 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4874 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4875 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4876 [Steve Henson]
4877
4878 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4879 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4880 [Douglas Stebila]
4881
4882 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4883 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4884 [Steve Henson]
4885
4886 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4887 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4888 type.
4889 [Steve Henson]
4890
4891 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4892 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4893 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4894 structure.
4895 [Steve Henson]
4896
4897 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4898 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4899 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4900 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4901 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4902 of public and private key structures.
4903 [Steve Henson]
4904
4905 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4906 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4907 [Douglas Stebila]
4908
4909 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4910 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4911 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4912
4913 New ciphersuites:
4914 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4915 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4916
4917 New functions:

4922
4923 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4924
4925 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4926 and response verification functionality.
4927 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4928
4929 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4930 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4931 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4932 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4933 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4934 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4935 server_name extension.
4936
4937 New functions (subject to change):
4938
4939 SSL_get_servername()
4940 SSL_get_servername_type()
4941 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4942
4943 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4944
4945 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4946 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4947 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4948 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4949 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4950
4951 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4952
4953 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4954 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4955 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4956 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4957 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4958 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4959 option.
4960
4961 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4962
4963 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4964 [Andy Polyakov]
4965
4966 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4967 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4968 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4969 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4970 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4971 [Andy Polyakov]
4972
4973 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4974 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4975 macro.
4976 [Bodo Moeller]
4977
4978 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4979 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4980 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4981 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4982 [Andy Polyakov]
4983
4984 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4985 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4986 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4987 using the maximum available value.
4988 [Steve Henson]
4989
4990 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4991 in addition to the text details.
4992 [Bodo Moeller]
4993
4994 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4995 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4996 handle several customised structures at all.
4997 [Steve Henson]
4998
4999 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5000 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5001 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5002 [Steve Henson]
5003
5004 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5005 [Steve Henson]
5006
5007 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5008 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5009 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5010 [Steve Henson]
5011
5012 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5013 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5014 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5015 [Nils Larsch]
5016
5017 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5018 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5019 all fields.
5020 [Steve Henson]
5021
5022 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5023 [Steve Henson]
5024
5025 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5026 [NTT]
5027
5028 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5029
5030 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5031 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5032 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5033 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5034 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5035 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5036 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5037 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
5038
5039 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5040 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5041 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
5042
5043 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5044
5045 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5046 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5047
5048 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5049 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5050 [Bodo Moeller]
5051
5052 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5053 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5054 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5055 [Steve Henson]
5056
5057 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5058 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5059 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5060 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5061 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5062 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5063 [Steve Henson]
5064
5065 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5066 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5067 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5068 [Steve Henson]
5069
5070 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5071 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5072 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5073 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5074 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5075 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5076 CVE-2009-4355.
5077 [Steve Henson]
5078
5079 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5080 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5081 [Bodo Moeller]
5082
5083 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5084 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5085 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5086 [Steve Henson]
5087
5088 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5089 [Steve Henson]
5090
5091 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5092 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5093 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5094 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5095 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5096 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5097 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5098 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5099 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5100 [Steve Henson]
5101
5102 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5103 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5104 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5105 [Steve Henson]
5106
5107 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5108 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5109 [Steve Henson]
5110
5111 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5112 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5113 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5114 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5115 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5116 know what you are doing.
5117 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5118
5119 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5120 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5121 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5122 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5123 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5124 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5125 the handshake.
5126 [Steve Henson]
5127
5128 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5129 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5130 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5131 correctly.
5132 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5133
5134 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5135 warnings in other configurations.
5136 [Steve Henson]
5137
5138 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5139 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5140 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5141 systems need.
5142 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5143
5144 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5145 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5146 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5147
5148 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5149 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5150 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5151 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5152 [Steve Henson]
5153
5154 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5155 and restored.
5156 [Steve Henson]
5157
5158 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5159 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5160 clash.
5161 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5162
5163 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5164 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5165 other than a simple chain.
5166 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5167
5168 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5169 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5170 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5171 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5172 [Steve Henson]
5173
5174 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5175 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5176 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5177 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5178 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5179 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5180 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5181 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5182 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5183
5184 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5185 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5186 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5187 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5188 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5189 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5190 (CVE-2009-1377)
5191 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5192
5193 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5194 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5195 [Daniel Mentz]
5196
5197 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5198 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5199
5200 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5201 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5202
5203 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5204
5205 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5206 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5207 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5208 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5209 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5210 you're doing.
5211 [Ben Laurie]
5212
5213 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5214
5215 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5216 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5217 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5218 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5219
5220 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5221 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5222 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5223 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5224
5225 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5226 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5227 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5228 [Steve Henson]
5229
5230 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5231 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5232 level.
5233 [Steve Henson]
5234
5235 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5236 to handle some structures.
5237 [Steve Henson]
5238
5239 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5240 for a '\n'
5241 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5242
5243 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5244 [Matthieu Herrb]
5245
5246 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5247 [Steve Henson]
5248
5249 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5250 [Steve Henson]
5251
5252 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5253 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5254 chosen compiler.
5255 [Ben Laurie]
5256
5257 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5258
5259 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5260 (CVE-2008-5077).
5261 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5262
5263 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5264 [Ben Laurie]
5265
5266 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5267 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5268 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5269 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5270
5271 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5272 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5273
5274 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5275 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5276 [Bodo Moeller]
5277
5278 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5279 s_client and s_server.
5280 [Ben Laurie]
5281
5282 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5283 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5284
5285 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5286 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5287
5288 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5289 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5290 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5291 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5292 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5293 [Bodo Moeller]
5294
5295 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5296
5297 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5298 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5299 [PR #1679]
5300
5301 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5302 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5303 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5304
5305 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5306 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5307 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5308 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5309
5310 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5311 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5312
5313 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5314
5315 *) Various precautionary measures:
5316
5317 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5318
5319 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5320 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5321 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5322
5323 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5324 outside the expected range.
5325
5326 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5327 builds.
5328
5329 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5330
5331 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5332 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5333 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5334
5335 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5336 [Steve Henson]
5337
5338 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5339 [Huang Ying]
5340
5341 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5342
5343 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5344 [Steve Henson]
5345
5346 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5347 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5348 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5349
5350 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5351 [Steve Henson]
5352
5353 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5354 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5355 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5356 files.
5357 [Steve Henson]
5358
5359 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5360
5361 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5362 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5363 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5364 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5365
5366 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5367 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5368 [Joe Orton]
5369
5370 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5371
5372 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5373 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5374 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5375
5376 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5377
5378 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5379 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5380 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5381 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5382 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5383
5384 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5385 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5386 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5387 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5388 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5389 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5390 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5391
5392 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5393
5394 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5395 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5396 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5397 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5398 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5399
5400 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5401 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5402
5403 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5404 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5405 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5406 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5407 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5408
5409 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5410
5411 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5412 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5413 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5414 sets may exist with different names.
5415 [Steve Henson]
5416
5417 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5418 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5419 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5420 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5421 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5422 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5423 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5424 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5425 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5426 implementation.
5427 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5428
5429 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5430 implementation in the following ways:
5431
5432 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5433 hard coded.
5434
5435 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5436 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5437 ignored for embedded content.
5438
5439 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5440 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5441 [Steve Henson]
5442
5443 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5444 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5445 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5446 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5447
5448 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5449 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5450 [Steve Henson]
5451
5452 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5453 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5454 [Steve Henson]
5455
5456 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5457 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5458 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5459 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5460 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5461 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5462 data.
5463 [Steve Henson]
5464
5465 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5466 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5467 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5468
5469 *) Netware support:
5470
5471 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5472 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5473 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5474 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5475 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5476 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5477 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5478 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5479 platform
5480 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5481 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5482 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5483 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5484 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5485 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5486 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5487
5488 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5489 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5490 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5491 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5492 to s_client and s_server.
5493 [Steve Henson]
5494
5495 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5496
5497 *) Fix various bugs:
5498 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5499 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5500 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5501 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5502 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5503
5504 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5505
5506 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5507 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5508 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5509 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5510 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5511 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5512 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5513 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5514 [Andy Polyakov]
5515
5516 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5517 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5518 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5519 Steve Henson]
5520
5521 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5522 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5523 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5524 supported.
5525
5526 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5527 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5528 SSL_SESSION.
5529
5530 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5531 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5532 with no application modification.
5533
5534 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5535 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5536
5537 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5538 or server extensions to be examined.
5539
5540 This work was sponsored by Google.
5541 [Steve Henson]
5542
5543 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5544 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5545 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5546 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5547 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5548 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5549 server_name extension.
5550
5551 New functions (subject to change):
5552
5553 SSL_get_servername()
5554 SSL_get_servername_type()
5555 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5556
5557 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5558
5559 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5560 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5561 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5562 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5563 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5564
5565 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5566
5567 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5568 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5569 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5570 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5571 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5572 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5573 option.
5574
5575 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5576
5577 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5578 [Steve Henson]
5579
5580 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5581 [Andy Polyakov]
5582
5583 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5584 (which previously caused an internal error).
5585 [Bodo Moeller]
5586
5587 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5588 [Ben Laurie]
5589
5590 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5591 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5592
5593 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5594 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5595 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5596
5597 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5598 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5599 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5600 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5601
5602 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5603 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5604 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5605 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5606
5607 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5608 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5609 information. For detailed background information, see
5610 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5611 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5612 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5613 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5614 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5615 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5616 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5617 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5618 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5619 remove a conditional branch.
5620
5621 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5622 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5623 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5624 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5625 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5626 remains as a deprecated alias.
5627
5628 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5629 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5630 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5631 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5632
5633 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5634 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5635 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5636 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5637 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5638 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5639 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5640 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5641
5642 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5643
5644 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5645 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5646 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5647 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5648 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5649 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5650 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5651 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5652 in a different context.
5653 [Bodo Moeller]
5654
5655 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5656 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5657 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5658 [Bodo Moeller]
5659
5660 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5661 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5662 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5663
5664 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5665
5666 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5667 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5668 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5669 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5670 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5671 [Victor Duchovni]
5672
5673 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5674 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5675 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5676 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5677 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5678 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5679 [Bodo Moeller]
5680
5681 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5682 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5683 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5684 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5685 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5686 [Bodo Moeller]
5687
5688 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5689 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5690
5691 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5692 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5693 Improve header file function name parsing.
5694 [Steve Henson]
5695
5696 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5697 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5698 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5699
5700 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5701
5702 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5703 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5704 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5705
5706 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5707 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5708
5709 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5710 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5711
5712 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5713 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5714 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5715
5716 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5717 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5718 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5719 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5720 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5721 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5722 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5723 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5724 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5725
5726 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5727 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5728 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5729 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5730 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5731
5732 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5733 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5734 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5735 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5736 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5737 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5738 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5739 multiple values to extend the available space.
5740
5741 [Bodo Moeller]
5742
5743 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5744
5745 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5746 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5747
5748 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5749 [Ben Laurie]
5750
5751 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5752 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5753 undesirable limitations.
5754 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5755
5756 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5757 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5758 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5759 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5760 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5761 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5762 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5763 [Bodo Moeller]
5764
5765 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5766
5767 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5768 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5769 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5770
5771 The latter two were purportedly from
5772 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5773 appear there.
5774
5775 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5776 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5777 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5778 [Bodo Moeller]
5779
5780 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5781 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5782 [Bodo Moeller]
5783
5784 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5785 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5786 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5787 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5788
5789 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5790 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5791 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5792 [NTT]
5793
5794 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5795 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5796 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5797 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5798 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5799 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5800 [Steve Henson]
5801
5802 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5803
5804 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5805 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5806 [Steve Henson]
5807
5808 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5809 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5810
5811 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5812 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5813 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5814 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5815 [Douglas Stebila]
5816
5817 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5818 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5819 [Steve Henson]
5820
5821 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5822 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5823 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5824 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5825 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5826 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5827 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5828 can't be loaded.
5829 [Steve Henson]
5830
5831 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5832 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5833 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5834 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5835 [Steve Henson]
5836
5837 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5838 under VC++ build system.
5839 [Steve Henson]
5840
5841 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5842 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5843 [Richard Levitte]
5844
5845 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5846
5847 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5848 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5849 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5850 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5851 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5852
5853 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5854 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5855 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5856
5857 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5858 [Steve Henson]
5859
5860 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5861 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5862 [Nils Larsch]
5863
5864 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5865 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5866
5867 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5868 [Nick Mathewson]
5869
5870 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5871 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5872
5873 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5874 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5875 [Steve Henson]
5876
5877 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5878 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5879 smime utility.
5880 [Steve Henson]
5881
5882 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5883
5884 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5885 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5886
5887 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5888 [Richard Levitte]
5889
5890 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5891 key into the same file any more.
5892 [Richard Levitte]
5893
5894 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5895 [Andy Polyakov]
5896
5897 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5898 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5899
5900 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5901 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5902 [Richard Levitte]
5903
5904 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5905 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5906 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5907 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5908 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5909 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5910
5911 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5912 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5913 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5914 [Steve Henson]
5915
5916 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5917 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5918 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5919 - add new function for parameter creation
5920 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5921 BN_BLINDING parameters
5922 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5923 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5924 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5925 threads.
5926 [Nils Larsch]
5927
5928 *) Add support for DTLS.
5929 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5930
5931 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5932 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5933 [Walter Goulet]
5934
5935 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5936 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5937 [Nils Larsch]
5938
5939 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5940 the apps/openssl applications.
5941 [Nils Larsch]
5942
5943 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5944 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5945 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5946 [Ben Laurie]
5947
5948 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5949 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5950
5951 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5952 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5953
5954 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5955 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5956 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5957 avoid this algorithm.)
5958
5959 [Bodo Moeller]
5960
5961 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5962 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5963 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5964 [Richard Levitte]
5965
5966 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5967 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5968 [Andy Polyakov]
5969
5970 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5971 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5972 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5973 pod file:
5974
5975 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5976
5977 The blank line is mandatory.
5978
5979 [Steve Henson]
5980
5981 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5982 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5983 sources.
5984 [Steve Henson]
5985
5986 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5987 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5988
5989 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5990 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5991 to support policy checking and print out.
5992 [Steve Henson]
5993
5994 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5995 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5996 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5997 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5998
5999 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6000 [Geoff Thorpe]
6001
6002 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6003 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6004
6005 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6006 implementation contributed by IBM.
6007 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6008
6009 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6010 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6011 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6012 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6013
6014 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6015 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6016
6017 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6018 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6019 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6020 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6021 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6022 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6023 [Steve Henson]
6024
6025 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6026 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6027 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6028 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6029 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6030 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6031 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6032 [Geoff Thorpe]
6033
6034 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6035 [Steve Henson]
6036
6037 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6038 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6039 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6040 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6041 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6042 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6043 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6044 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6045 [Steve Henson]
6046
6047 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6048 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6049 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6050 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6051 [Steve Henson]
6052
6053 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6054 syntax:
6055
6056 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6057 [Steve Henson]
6058
6059 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6060 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6061 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6062 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6063 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6064 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6065 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6066 [Geoff Thorpe]
6067
6068 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6069 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6070 [Geoff Thorpe]
6071
6072 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6073 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6074 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6075 [Steve Henson]
6076
6077 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6078 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6079 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6080 below).
6081 [Geoff Thorpe]
6082
6083 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6084 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6085 [Richard Levitte]
6086
6087 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6088 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6089 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6090 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6091 [Geoff Thorpe]
6092
6093 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6094 initialised value as BN_new().
6095 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6096
6097 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6098 [Steve Henson]
6099
6100 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6101 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6102 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6103 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6104 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6105 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6106 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6107 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6108 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6109 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6110 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6111 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6112 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6113 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6114 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6115
6116 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6117 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6118 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6119 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6120 [Geoff Thorpe]
6121
6122 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6123 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6124 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6125 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6126 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6127 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6128 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6129 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6130 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6131 [Geoff Thorpe]
6132
6133 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6134 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6135 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6136 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6137 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6138 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6139 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6140 [Geoff Thorpe]
6141
6142 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6143 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6144 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6145 these have been updated also.
6146 [Geoff Thorpe]
6147
6148 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6149 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6150 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6151 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6152 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6153 functions.
6154 [Steve Henson]
6155
6156 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6157 structure of type "other".
6158 [Steve Henson]
6159
6160 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6161 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6162 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6163 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6164 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6165 situation in the script.
6166 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6167
6168 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6169 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6170 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6171 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6172 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6173 used as premaster secret.
6174 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6175
6176 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6177 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6178 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6179
6180 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6181 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6182
6183 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6184 control of the error stack.
6185 [Richard Levitte]
6186
6187 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6188 [Richard Levitte]
6189
6190 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6191 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6192 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6193 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6194 [Richard Levitte]
6195
6196 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6197 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6198 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6199 [Richard Levitte]
6200
6201 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6202 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6203 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6204 a memory area.
6205 [Richard Levitte]
6206
6207 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6208 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6209 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6210 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6211 [Richard Levitte]
6212
6213 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6214 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6215 the following flags are defined:
6216
6217 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6218 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6219 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6220 number.
6221
6222 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6223 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6224 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6225 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6226 returns zero.
6227 [Richard Levitte]
6228
6229 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6230 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6231 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6232 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6233 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6234 [Richard Levitte]
6235
6236 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6237 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6238 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6239 [Richard Levitte]
6240
6241 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6242 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6243 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6244 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6245 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6246 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6247 [Richard Levitte]
6248
6249 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6250 req and dirName.
6251 [Steve Henson]
6252
6253 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6254 [Steve Henson]
6255
6256 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6257 [Steve Henson]
6258
6259 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6260 [Steve Henson]
6261
6262 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6263 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6264 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6265 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6266 default implementation more easily.
6267 [Geoff Thorpe]
6268
6269 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6270 in config files.
6271 [Steve Henson]
6272
6273 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6274 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6275 [Richard Levitte]
6276
6277 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6278 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6279 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6280 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6281
6282 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6283 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6284 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6285 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6286 [Steve Henson]
6287
6288 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6289 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6290 to do it.
6291 [Richard Levitte]
6292
6293 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6294 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6295 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6296 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6297 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6298 scalar * generator).
6299 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6300
6301 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6302 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6303 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6304 correctly.
6305 [Steve Henson]
6306
6307 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6308 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6309 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6310 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6311 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6312 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6313 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6314 linker additions, eg;
6315 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6316 [Geoff Thorpe]
6317
6318 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6319 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6320 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6321 [Geoff Thorpe]
6322
6323 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6324 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6325 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6326 via PR#459)
6327 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6328
6329 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6330 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6331 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6332 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6333 [Geoff Thorpe]
6334
6335 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6336 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6337 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6338 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6339 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6340 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6341 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6342 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6343 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6344 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6345
6346 Example for using the new callback interface:
6347
6348 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6349 void *my_arg = ...;

6351
6352 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6353

6355 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6356 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6357 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.

6359 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6360 */
6361
6362 [Geoff Thorpe]
6363
6364 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6365 available to TLS with the number defined in
6366 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6367 [Richard Levitte]
6368
6369 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6370 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6371
6372 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6373 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6374 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6375 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6376
6377 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6378 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6379
6380 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6381 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6382 well.
6383 [Richard Levitte]
6384
6385 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6386 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6387 [Richard Levitte]
6388
6389 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6390 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6391 and a macro that behave like
6392 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6393
6394 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6395 [Nils Larsch]
6396
6397 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6398 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6399 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6400 if applicable.
6401 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6402
6403 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6404 [Bodo Moeller]
6405
6406 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6407 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6408 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6409 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6410 directory engines/.
6411 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6412 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6413 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6414 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6415 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6416 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6417 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6418 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6419
6420 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6421 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6422 [Richard Levitte]
6423
6424 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6425 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6426
6427 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6428 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6429 files while avoiding the low level API.
6430
6431 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6432 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6433 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6434 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6435
6436 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6437 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6438 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6439 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6440 instead of the low level API.
6441 [Steve Henson]
6442
6443 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6444 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6445 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6446 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6447 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6448 PKCS#7 code.
6449
6450 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6451 down to the template encoder.
6452 [Steve Henson]
6453
6454 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6455 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6456 [Bodo Moeller]
6457
6458 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6459 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6460 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6461 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6462
6463 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6464 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6465
6466 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6467 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6468
6469 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6470 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6471 [Bodo Moeller]
6472
6473 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6474 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6475 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6476 [Bodo Moeller]
6477
6478 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6479 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6480
6481 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6482 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6483
6484 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6485 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6486 New EC_METHOD:
6487
6488 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6489
6490 New API functions:
6491
6492 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6493 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6494 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6495 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6496 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6497 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6498
6499 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6500 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6501 enable it).
6502
6503 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6504 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6505 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6506 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6507 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6508 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6509 various internal method names.)
6510
6511 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6512 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6513
6514 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6515 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6516
6517 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6518 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6519
6520 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6521 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6522 methods are undefined.
6523
6524 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6525 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6526
6527 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6528 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6529 length of the modulus.
6530
6531 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6532 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6533
6534 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6535 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6536
6537 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6538 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6539
6540 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6541 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6542 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6543
6544 BN_GF2m_add
6545 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6546 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6547 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6548 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6549 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6550 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6551 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6552 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6553 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6554
6555 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6556 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6557
6558 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6559 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6560 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6561 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6562 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6563 where
6564 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6565 This applies to the following functions:
6566
6567 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6568 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6569 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6570 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6571 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6572 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6573 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6574 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6575 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6576 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6577
6578 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6579
6580 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6581 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6582
6583 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6584
6585 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6586 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6587 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6588 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6589 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6590
6591 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6592 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6593
6594 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6595 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6596 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6597
6598 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6599 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6600
6601 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6602 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6603 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6604 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6605 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6606
6607 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6608 functions
6609 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6610 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6611 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6612 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6613 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6614 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6615 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6616 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6617 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6618 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6619 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6620 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6621
6622 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6623 functions
6624 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6625 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6626 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6627 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6628 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6629
6630 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6631 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6632 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6633 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6634
6635 *) Add functions
6636 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6637 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6638 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6639 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6640 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6641 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6642 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6643
6644 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6645 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6646 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6647 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6648 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6649 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6650 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6651 adding different types of curves.
6652 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6653
6654 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6655 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6656 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6657 [Bodo Moeller]
6658
6659 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6660 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6661
6662 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6663 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6664 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6665 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6666
6667 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6668
6669 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6670 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6671
6672 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6673 library. Most notably,
6674 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6675 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6676 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6677 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6678 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6679 extracted before the specific public key;
6680 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6681 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6682
6683 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6684 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6685 function
6686 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6687 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6688 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6689 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6690 accessed via
6691 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6692 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6693 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6694
6695 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6696 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6697 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6698 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6699 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6700 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6701 differing sizes.
6702 [Richard Levitte]
6703
6704 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6705
6706 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6707 sensitive data.
6708 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6709
6710 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6711 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6712 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6713 [Bodo Moeller]
6714
6715 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6716 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6717 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6718 [Victor Duchovni]
6719
6720 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6721 [Steve Henson]
6722
6723 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6724 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6725 [Steve Henson]
6726
6727 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6728 run algorithm test programs.
6729 [Steve Henson]
6730
6731 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6732 [Steve Henson]
6733
6734 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6735 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6736 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6737 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6738 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6739 [Bodo Moeller]
6740
6741 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6742 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6743 [Steve Henson]
6744
6745 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6746
6747 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6748 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6749 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6750
6751 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6752 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6753
6754 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6755 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6756
6757 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6758 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6759 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6760
6761 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6762 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6763 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6764 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6765 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6766 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6767 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6768 [Bodo Moeller]
6769
6770 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6771
6772 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6773 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6774
6775 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6776 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6777 undesirable limitations.
6778 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6779
6780 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6781
6782 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6783 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6784 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6785
6786 The latter two were purportedly from
6787 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6788 appear there.
6789
6790 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6791 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6792 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6793 [Bodo Moeller]
6794
6795 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6796 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6797 [Bodo Moeller]
6798
6799 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6800
6801 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6802 module in FIPS mode.
6803 [Steve Henson]
6804
6805 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6806 [Steve Henson]
6807
6808 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6809 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6810 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6811 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6812 [Steve Henson]
6813
6814 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6815
6816 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6817 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6818 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6819 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6820 the difference induced by this change.
6821 [Andy Polyakov]
6822
6823 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6824
6825 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6826 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6827 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6828 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6829 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6830
6831 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6832 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6833 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6834
6835 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6836 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6837 [Steve Henson]
6838
6839 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6840 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6841 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6842 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6843 biased k.)
6844 [Bodo Moeller]
6845
6846 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6847 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6848 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6849 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6850 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6851
6852 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6853 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6854 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6855 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6856 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6857 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6858
6859 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6860
6861 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6862 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6863 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6864 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6865 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6866 [Bodo Moeller]
6867
6868 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6869 clients need.
6870 [Steve Henson]
6871
6872 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6873 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6874 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6875 [Steve Henson]
6876
6877 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6878 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6879 structures constant.
6880 [Steve Henson]
6881
6882 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6883
6884 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6885 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6886
6887 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6888 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6889 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6890 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6891 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6892 some needed definitions.
6893 [Steve Henson]
6894
6895 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6896 [Ulf Möller]
6897
6898 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6899 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6900 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6901 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6902 [Richard Levitte]
6903
6904 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6905
6906 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6907 server and client random values. Previously
6908 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6909 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6910
6911 This change has negligible security impact because:
6912
6913 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6914 data.
6915
6916 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6917 handshake.
6918
6919 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6920 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6921 values.
6922
6923 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6924 to our attention.
6925
6926 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6927
6928 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6929 [Ulf Möller]
6930
6931 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6932 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6933 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6934
6935 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6936 [Steve Henson]
6937
6938 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6939 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6940 [Andy Polyakov]
6941
6942 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6943 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6944 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6945
6946 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6947 [Steve Henson]
6948
6949 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6950 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6951 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6952 certificates.
6953 [Steve Henson]
6954
6955 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6956 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6957 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6958 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6959
6960 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6961 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6962 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6963 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6964 been given)
6965 [Richard Levitte]
6966
6967 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6968
6969 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6970 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6971 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6972 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6973 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6974 [Steve Henson]
6975
6976 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6977 [Steve Henson]
6978
6979 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6980 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6981
6982 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6983 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6984 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6985 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6986 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6987 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6988 rather than being initialized to 1.
6989 [Steve Henson]
6990
6991 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6992
6993 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6994 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6995 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6996
6997 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6998 (CVE-2004-0112)
6999 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7000
7001 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7002 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7003 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7004 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7005 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7006 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7007 [Richard Levitte]
7008
7009 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7010 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7011 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7012 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7013 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7014 for these cases.
7015 [Steve Henson]
7016
7017 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7018 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7019 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7020 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7021 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7022 [Steve Henson]
7023
7024 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7025 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7026 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7027 < 0.9.7.
7028 [Steve Henson]
7029
7030 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7031 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7032
7033 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7034 [Steve Henson]
7035
7036 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7037
7038 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7039
7040 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7041 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7042
7043 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7044
7045 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7046 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7047
7048 [Steve Henson]
7049
7050 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7051 exiting on the first error in a request.
7052 [Steve Henson]
7053
7054 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7055 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7056 specifications.
7057 [Steve Henson]
7058
7059 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7060 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7061 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7062 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7063
7064 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7065 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7066 [Richard Levitte]
7067
7068 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7069 blocks during encryption.
7070 [Richard Levitte]
7071
7072 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7073 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7074 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7075 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7076 certain size.
7077 [Steve Henson]
7078
7079 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7080 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7081 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7082 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7083 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7084 parser.
7085 [Steve Henson]
7086
7087 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7088
7089 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7090 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7091 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7092 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7093 [Bodo Moeller]
7094
7095 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7096 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7097 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7098 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7099 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7100
7101 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7102 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7103 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7104 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7105 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7106 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7107 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7108 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7109 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7110 [Bodo Moeller]
7111
7112 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7113 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7114 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7115 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7116 [Geoff Thorpe]
7117
7118 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7119 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7120 [Ulf Moeller]
7121
7122 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7123
7124 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7125 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7126 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7127 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7128 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7129
7130 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7131 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7132 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7133
7134 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7135 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7136 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7137 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7138 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7139
7140 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7141 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7142 used by default when no-err is given.
7143 [Richard Levitte]
7144
7145 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7146 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7147
7148 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7149 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7150 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7151 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7152 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7153
7154 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7155 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7156 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7157 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7158
7159 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7160
7161 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7162
7163 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7164
7165 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7166 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7167 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7168 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7169 root is omitted).
7170 [Steve Henson]
7171
7172 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7173 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7174
7175 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7176 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178
7179 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7180 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7181 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7182 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7183 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7184
7185 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7186 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7187 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7188 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7189 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7190 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7191 followup to PR #377.
7192 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7193
7194 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7195 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7196 [Andy Polyakov]
7197
7198 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7199 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7200 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7201 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7202
7203 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7204
7205 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7206 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7207
7208 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7209 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7210 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7211 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7212 client and server.
7213 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7214 PR #377.
7215 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7216
7217 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7218 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7219 removed entirely.
7220 [Richard Levitte]
7221
7222 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7223 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7224 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7225 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7226 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7227 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7228 of libcrypto.
7229 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7230 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7231 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7232 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7233 have to be made anyway).
7234 [Richard Levitte]
7235
7236 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7237 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7238 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7239 [Steve Henson]
7240
7241 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7242 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7243 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7244 [Richard Levitte]
7245
7246 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7247 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7248 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7249
7250 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7251 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7252 edit numbers of the version.
7253 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7254
7255 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7256 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7257 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7258
7259 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7260 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7261
7262 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7263 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7264 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7265
7266 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7268
7269 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7271
7272 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7273 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7274
7275 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7276 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7277
7278 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7279 overflows.
7280 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7281
7282 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7283 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7284 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7285
7286 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7287 representations in a platform independent manner.
7288 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7289
7290 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7291 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7292 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7293
7294 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7295 indents.
7296 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7297
7298 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7299 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7300
7301 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7302 full. Fixed.
7303 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7304
7305 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7306 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7307 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7308
7309 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7310 unconditionally).
7311 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7312
7313 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7314 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7315
7316 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7317 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7318
7319 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7320 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7321
7322 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7323 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7324
7325 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7326 CBCParameter.
7327 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7328
7329 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7330 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7331
7332 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7333 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7334
7335 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7336 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7337 exploitable.
7338 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7339
7340 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7341 the 0.9.6 release series:
7342
7343 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7344 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7345 (CVE-2002-0657)
7346 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7347
7348 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7349 [Richard Levitte]
7350
7351 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7352 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7353
7354 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7355 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7356
7357 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7358 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7359 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7360 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7361
7362 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7363 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7364 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7365
7366 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7367 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7368 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7369 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7370
7371 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7372 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7373 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7374 some local tweaks:
7375
7376 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7377 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7378 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7379 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7380 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7381 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7382 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7383 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7384 done
7385
7386 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7387 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7388 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7389 [Richard Levitte]
7390
7391 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7392 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7393 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7394 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7395 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7396
7397 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7398 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7399
7400 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7401 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7402 [Richard Levitte]
7403
7404 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7405 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7406 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7407 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7408 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7409 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7410 [Steve Henson]
7411
7412 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7413 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7414 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7415 [Steve Henson]
7416
7417 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7418 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7419 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7420
7421 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7422 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7423 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7424 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7425 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7426 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7427 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7428 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7429
7430 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7431 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7432 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7433 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7434 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7435 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7436 [Steve Henson]
7437
7438 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7439 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7440 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7441 declaration has been changed from
7442 int (*cb)()
7443 into
7444 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7445 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7446 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7447 has been changed into
7448 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7449
7450 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7451 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7452 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7453
7454 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7455 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7456
7457 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7458 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7459 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7460 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7461 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7462 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7463 always load it have also been added.
7464 [Steve Henson]
7465
7466 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7467 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7468 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7469
7470 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7471
7472 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7473 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7474 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7475
7476 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7477 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7478 command line option can be used to specify an
7479 alternative file.
7480 [Steve Henson]
7481
7482 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7483 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7484 [Steve Henson]
7485
7486 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7487 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7488 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7489 [Steve Henson]
7490
7491 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7492 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7493 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7494 to work with the new engine framework.
7495 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7496
7497 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7498 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7499 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7500 to work with the new engine framework.
7501 [Richard Levitte]
7502
7503 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7504 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7505 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7506
7507 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7508 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7509
7510 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7511 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7512 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7513 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7514 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7515 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7516
7517 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7518 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7519
7520 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7521 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7522
7523 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7524 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7525 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7526 [Ben Laurie]
7527
7528 *) Add new functions
7529 ERR_peek_last_error
7530 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7531 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7532 These are similar to
7533 ERR_peek_error
7534 ERR_peek_error_line
7535 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7536 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7537 still in the error queue.
7538 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7539
7540 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7541 like:
7542 default_algorithms = ALL
7543 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7544 [Steve Henson]
7545
7546 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7547 [Steve Henson]
7548
7549 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7550 [Steve Henson]
7551
7552 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7553 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7554 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7555 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7556
7557 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7558 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7559
7560 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7561 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7562
7563 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7564 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7565 [Bodo Moeller]
7566
7567 *) New functions/macros
7568
7569 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7570 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7571 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7572 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7573
7574 to request calling a callback function
7575
7576 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7577 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7578
7579 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7580 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7581 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7582 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7583 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7584 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7585 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7586 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7587 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7588 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7589
7590 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7591 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7592 [Bodo Moeller]
7593
7594 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7595 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7596 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7597 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7598 the configuration scripts.
7599
7600 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7601 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7602 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7603
7604 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7605 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7606
7607 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7608 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7609 when reusing an existing buffer.
7610 [Bodo Moeller]
7611
7612 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7613 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7614 [Steve Henson]
7615
7616 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7617 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7618 [Ben Laurie]
7619
7620 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7621 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7622 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7623 has the same effect.
7624 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7625
7626 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7627 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7628 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7629 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7630 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7631 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7632 exception.
7633
7634 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7635 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7636 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7637 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7638
7639 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7640 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7641 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7642 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7643
7644 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7645 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7646 won't work.
7647
7648 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7649 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7650 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7651 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7652 default), and then completely removed.
7653 [Richard Levitte]
7654
7655 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7656 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7657 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7658 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7659 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7660 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7661 particular extension is supported.
7662 [Steve Henson]
7663
7664 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7665 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7666 [Steve Henson]
7667
7668 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7669 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7670 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7671 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7672 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7673 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7674 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7675 requires the destination to be valid.
7676
7677 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7678 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7679 [Steve Henson]
7680
7681 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7682 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7683 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7684 [Bodo Moeller]
7685
7686 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7687 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7688
7689 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7690 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7691 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7692 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7693 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7694 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7695 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7696 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7697 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7698 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7699 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7700 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7701 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7702 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7703 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7704 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7705 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7706 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7707 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7708 the new code.
7709 [Geoff Thorpe]
7710
7711 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7712 [Steve Henson]
7713
7714 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7715 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7716 become part of libeay.num as well.
7717 [Richard Levitte]
7718
7719 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7720 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7721 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7722 false once a handshake has been completed.
7723 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7724 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7725 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7726 client has followed the request.)
7727 [Bodo Moeller]
7728
7729 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7730 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7731 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7732 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7733
7734 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7735 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7736 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7737 [Bodo Moeller]
7738
7739 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7740 [Steve Henson]
7741
7742 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7743 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7744 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7745 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7746
7747 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7748 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7749 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7750
7751 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7752 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7753 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7754 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7755 [Geoff Thorpe]
7756
7757 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7758 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7759 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7760 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7761 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7762 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7763 [Geoff Thorpe]
7764
7765 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7766 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7767 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7768 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7769 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7770 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7771 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7772 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7773 [Geoff Thorpe]
7774
7775 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7776 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7777 [Geoff Thorpe]
7778
7779 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7780 [Ben Laurie]
7781
7782 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7783 md_data void pointer.
7784 [Ben Laurie]
7785
7786 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7787 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7788 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7789 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7790 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7791 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7792 [Ben Laurie]
7793
7794 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7795 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7796 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7797 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7798 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7799 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7800 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7801 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7802 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7803 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7804 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7805 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7806 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7807 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7808 rather than letting it slide.
7809
7810 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7811 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7812 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7813 [Geoff Thorpe]
7814
7815 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7816 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7817 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7818 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7819 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7820 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7821 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7822 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7823 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7824 [Geoff Thorpe]
7825
7826 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7827 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7828 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7829 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7830 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7831
7832 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7833 [Geoff Thorpe]
7834
7835 *) Add EVP test program.
7836 [Ben Laurie]
7837
7838 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7839 [Ben Laurie]
7840
7841 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7842 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7843 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7844 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7845 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7846 [Steve Henson]
7847
7848 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7849 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7850 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7851 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7852 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7853 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7854 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7855
7856 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7857 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7858 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7859 Usage example:
7860
7861 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7862
7863 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7864 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7865 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7866 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7867 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7868
7869 [Ben Laurie]
7870
7871 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7872 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7873 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7874 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7875 anyway): E.g.,
7876
7877 des_key_schedule ks;
7878
7879 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7880 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7881
7882 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7883 [Ben Laurie]
7884
7885 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7886 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7887 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7888 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7889 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7890 functions prevents this.
7891 [Steve Henson]
7892
7893 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7894 [Ben Laurie]
7895
7896 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7897 correct _ecb suffix.
7898 [Ben Laurie]
7899
7900 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7901 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7902 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7903 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7904 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7905 [Steve Henson]
7906
7907 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7908 [Richard Levitte]
7909
7910 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7911 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7912 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7913 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7914
7915 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7916 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7917
7918 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7919 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7920 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7921 via Richard Levitte]
7922
7923 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7924 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7925 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7926 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7927 [Geoff Thorpe]
7928
7929 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7930 Before:
7931 encrypt
7932 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7933 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
7934 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
7935 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
7936 decrypt
7937 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
7938 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
7939 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
7940 After:
7941 encrypt
7942 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
7943 decrypt
7944 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
7945 [Ben Laurie]
7946
7947 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7948 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7949
7950 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7951 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7952 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7953 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7954 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7955 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7956 [Steve Henson]
7957
7958 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7959 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7960 [Richard Levitte]
7961
7962 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7963 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7964 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7965 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7966
7967 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7968 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7969 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7970 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7971 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7972 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7973 callback.
7974 [Richard Levitte]
7975
7976 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7977 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7978 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7979 and interrupts/cancellations.
7980 [Richard Levitte]
7981
7982 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7983 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7984 [Steve Henson]
7985
7986 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7987 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7988 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7989
7990 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7991 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7992 kind of callback.
7993 [Richard Levitte]
7994
7995 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7996 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7997 than this minimum value is recommended.
7998 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7999
8000 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8001 that are easily reachable.
8002 [Richard Levitte]
8003
8004 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8005 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8006
8007 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8008
8009 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8010 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8011 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8012 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8013 [Steve Henson]
8014
8015 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8016 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8017 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8018 [Steve Henson]
8019
8020 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8021 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8022 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8023 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8024 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8025 internally such as S/MIME.
8026
8027 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8028 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8029 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8030
8031 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8032 applications.
8033 [Steve Henson]
8034
8035 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8036 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8037 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8038 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8039
8040 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8041
8042 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8043
8044 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8045 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8046 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8047 handling.
8048 [Steve Henson]
8049
8050 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8051 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8052 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8053 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8054 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8055 a window system and the like.
8056 [Richard Levitte]
8057
8058 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8059 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8060 [Geoff]
8061
8062 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8063 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8064 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8065 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8066 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8067 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8068 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8069 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8070 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8071 ENGINE structure.
8072 [Geoff]
8073
8074 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8075 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8076 tag cache.
8077 [Steve Henson]
8078
8079 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8080 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8081 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8082 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8083 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8084 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8085 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8086 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8087 [Geoff]
8088
8089 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8090 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8091 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8092 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8093 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8094 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8095 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8096 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8097 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8098 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8099 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8100 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8101 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8102 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8103 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8104 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8105 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8106 [Geoff]
8107
8108 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8109 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8110 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8111 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8112 internal engine_int.h header.
8113 [Geoff]
8114
8115 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8116 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8117 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8118 modify their own ones).
8119 [Geoff]
8120
8121 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8122 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8123 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8124 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8125 later on via ctrl() commands.
8126 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8127 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8128 structural references.
8129 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8130 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8131 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8132 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8133 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8134 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8135 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8136 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8137 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8138 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8139 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8140 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8141 [Geoff]
8142
8143 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8144 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8145 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8146 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8147 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8148 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8149 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8150 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8151 [Bodo Moeller]
8152
8153 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8154 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8155 [Steve Henson]
8156
8157 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8158 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8159 [Steve Henson]
8160
8161 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8162 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8163 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8164 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8165 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8166 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8167 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8168 [Steve Henson]
8169
8170 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8171 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8172 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8173 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8174 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8175
8176 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8177 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8178 generator).
8179 [Bodo Moeller]
8180
8181 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8182
8183 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8184 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8185 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8186
8187 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8188 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8189
8190 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8191 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8192 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8193
8194 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8195 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8196
8197 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8198 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8199
8200 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8201
8202 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8203 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8204 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8205 [Bodo Moeller]
8206
8207 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8208 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8209 [Richard Levitte]
8210
8211 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8212 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8213 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8214 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8215 is 40 of more characters long.
8216 [Steve Henson]
8217
8218 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8219 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8220 pointers.
8221 [Steve Henson]
8222
8223 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8224 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8225 [Bodo Moeller]
8226
8227 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8228 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8229 might.
8230 [Steve Henson]
8231
8232 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8233
8234 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8235 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8236
8237 ASN1 error codes
8238 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8239 ...
8240 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8241 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8242 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8243 ...
8244 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8245 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8246
8247 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8248 [Bodo Moeller]
8249
8250 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8251 suffices.
8252 [Bodo Moeller]
8253
8254 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8255 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8256 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8257 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8258 and
8259 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8260
8261 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8262 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8263
8264 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8265 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8266 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8267 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8268 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8269 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8270
8271 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8272 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8273
8274 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8275 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8276
8277 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8278 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8279
8280 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8281 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8282 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8283 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8284
8285 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8286 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8287
8288 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8289 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8290
8291 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8292 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8293 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8294 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8295 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8296 [Richard Levitte]
8297
8298 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8299 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8300 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8301 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8302 [Steve Henson]
8303
8304 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8305 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8306 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8307 trust settings.
8308 [Steve Henson]
8309
8310 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8311 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8312 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8313 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8314 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8315 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8316 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8317 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8318 ocsp utility.
8319 [Steve Henson]
8320
8321 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8322 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8323 [Steve Henson]
8324
8325 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8326 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8327 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8328 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8329 [Steve Henson]
8330
8331 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8332 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8333 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8334 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8335 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8336 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8337 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8338 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8339 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8340 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8341 [Steve Henson]
8342
8343 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8344 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8345 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8346 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8347 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8348 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8349 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8350 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8351
8352 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8353 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8354 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8355 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8356 [Richard Levitte]
8357
8358 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8359 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8360 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8361 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8362 opensslconf.h.
8363 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8364 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8365 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8366 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8367 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8368 what is available.
8369 [Richard Levitte]
8370
8371 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8372 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8373 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8374 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8375 auto incremented.
8376 [Steve Henson]
8377
8378 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8379 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8380 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8381 [Steve Henson]
8382
8383 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8384 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8385 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8386 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8387 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8388 [Steve Henson]
8389
8390 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8391 [Steve Henson]
8392
8393 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8394 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8395 option to ocsp utility.
8396 [Steve Henson]
8397
8398 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8399 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8400 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8401 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8402 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8403 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8404 the request is nonce-less.
8405 [Steve Henson]
8406
8407 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8408 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8409 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8410 [Bodo Moeller]
8411
8412 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8413 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8414 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8415 [Steve Henson]
8416
8417 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8418 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8419 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8420 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8421 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8422 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8423
8424 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8425 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8426 appear to exist.
8427 [Steve Henson]
8428
8429 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8430 additional certificates supplied.
8431 [Steve Henson]
8432
8433 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8434 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8435 signature against.
8436 [Richard Levitte]
8437
8438 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8439 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8440 AES OIDs.
8441
8442 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8443 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8444 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8445 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8446 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8447 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8448 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8449 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8450 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8451
8452 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8453 request to response.
8454 [Steve Henson]
8455
8456 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8457 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8458 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8459 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8460 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8461 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8462 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8463 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8464 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8465 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8466 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8467 [Steve Henson]
8468
8469 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8470 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8471 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8472 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8473 [Steve Henson]
8474
8475 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8476 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8477
8478 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8479 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8480 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8481 [Steve Henson]
8482
8483 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8484 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8485 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8486 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8487 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8488
8489 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8490 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8491 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8492 [Steve Henson]
8493
8494 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8495 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8496 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8497 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8498 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8499 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8500 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8501 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8502
8503 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8504 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8505 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8506 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8507 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8508 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8509 [Steve Henson]
8510
8511 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8512 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8513 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8514 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8515 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8516 printout format cleaned up.
8517 [Steve Henson]
8518
8519 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8520 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8521 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8522 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8523 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8524 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8525 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8526 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8527 [Steve Henson]
8528
8529 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8530 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8531 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8532 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8533 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8534 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8535 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8536 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8537 [Steve Henson]
8538
8539 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8540 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8541 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8542 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8543 section to use.
8544 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8545
8546 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8547 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8548 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8549 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8550 [Steve Henson]
8551
8552 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8553 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8554 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8555 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8556 in the index file.
8557 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8558
8559 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8560 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8561 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8562 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8563
8564 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8565 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8566
8567 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8568 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8569 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8570 [Steve Henson]
8571
8572 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8573 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8574 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8575 [Bodo Moeller]
8576
8577 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8578 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8579 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8580 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8581 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8582 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8583 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8584 functions are provided:
8585
8586 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8587 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8588 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8589 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8590
8591 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8592 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8593 extended allocation function is enabled.
8594 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8595 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8596 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8597
8598 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8599 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8600 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8601 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8602 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8603 [Geoff Thorpe]
8604
8605 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8606 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8607 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8608 be queried.
8609 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8610 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8611 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8612 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8613
8614 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8615 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8616 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8617 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8618 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8619 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8620 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8621 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8622 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8623 [Richard Levitte]
8624
8625 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8626 provide utility functions which an application needing
8627 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8628 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8629 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8630
8631 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8632 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8633 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8634 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8635 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8636 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8637 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8638 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8639 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8640
8641 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8642 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8643 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8644 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8645 [Steve Henson]
8646
8647 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8648 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8649 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8650 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8651 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8652 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8653 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8654 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8655 will be added elsewhere.
8656 [Steve Henson]
8657
8658 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8659 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8660 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8661 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8662 [Steve Henson]
8663
8664 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8665 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8666 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8667 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8668 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8669 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8670 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8671 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8672 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8673 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8674 to produce the required SET OF.
8675 [Steve Henson]
8676
8677 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8678 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8679 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8680 [Richard Levitte]
8681
8682 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8683 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8684 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8685 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8686 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8687 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8688 [Steve Henson]
8689
8690 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8691 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8692 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8693 [Steve Henson]
8694
8695 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8696 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8697 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8698 [Richard Levitte]
8699
8700 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8701 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8702 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8703 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8704 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8705 [Steve Henson]
8706
8707 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8708 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8709 [Steve Henson]
8710
8711 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8712 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8713 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8714 certificates and CRLs.
8715 [Steve Henson]
8716
8717 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8718 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8719 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8720 [Steve Henson]
8721
8722 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8723 entries for variables.
8724 [Steve Henson]
8725
8726 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8727 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8728 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8729 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8730 [Bodo Moeller]
8731
8732 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8733 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8734 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8735 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8736 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8737 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8738 [Bodo Moeller]
8739
8740 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8741 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8742
8743 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8744 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8745 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8746 [Steve Henson]
8747
8748 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8749 print routines.
8750 [Steve Henson]
8751
8752 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8753 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8754 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8755 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8756 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8757 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8758 [Steve Henson]
8759
8760 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8761 [Steve Henson]
8762
8763 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8764 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8765 for now but they will eventually go away.
8766 [Steve Henson]
8767
8768 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8769 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8770 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8771 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8772 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8773 has also been converted to the new form.
8774 [Steve Henson]
8775
8776 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8777 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8778 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8779 for negative moduli.
8780 [Bodo Moeller]
8781
8782 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8783 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8784 [Bodo Moeller]
8785
8786 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8787 set.
8788 [Bodo Moeller]
8789
8790 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8791 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8792 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8793 type-specific callbacks.
8794 [Geoff Thorpe]
8795
8796 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8797 RFC 2712.
8798 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8799 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8800
8801 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8802 in sections depending on the subject.
8803 [Richard Levitte]
8804
8805 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8806 Windows.
8807 [Richard Levitte]
8808
8809 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8810 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8811 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8812 be handled deterministically).
8813 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8814
8815 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8816 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8817 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8818 [Bodo Moeller]
8819
8820 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8821 [Bodo Moeller]
8822
8823 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8824 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8825 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8826 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8827 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8828 [Bodo Moeller]
8829
8830 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8831 sign of the number in question.
8832
8833 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8834
8835 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8836 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8837 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8838 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8839 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8840 [Bodo Moeller]
8841
8842 *) New function BN_swap.
8843 [Bodo Moeller]
8844
8845 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8846 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8847 results on negative inputs.
8848 [Bodo Moeller]
8849
8850 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8851 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8852 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8853 [Bodo Moeller]
8854
8855 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8856 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8857 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8858 and add new functions:
8859
8860 BN_nnmod
8861 BN_mod_sqr
8862 BN_mod_add
8863 BN_mod_add_quick
8864 BN_mod_sub
8865 BN_mod_sub_quick
8866 BN_mod_lshift1
8867 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8868 BN_mod_lshift
8869 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8870
8871 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8872
8873 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8874 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8875
8876 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8877 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8878 be reduced modulo m.
8879 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8880
8881 #if 0
8882 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8883 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8884 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8885
8886 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8887 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8888 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8889 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8890 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8891 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8892 differing sizes.
8893 [Richard Levitte]
8894 #endif
8895
8896 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8897 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8898 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8899 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8900 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8901
8902 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8903 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8904 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8905 cause any problems.
8906 [Bodo Moeller]
8907
8908 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8909 [Richard Levitte]
8910
8911 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8912 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8913 [Richard Levitte]
8914
8915 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8916 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8917 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8918 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8919 time)
8920 [Richard Levitte]
8921
8922 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8923 [Richard Levitte]
8924
8925 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8926 [Richard Levitte]
8927
8928 *) Add the following functions:
8929
8930 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8931 ENGINE_load_chil()
8932 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8933 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8934 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8935
8936 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8937 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8938 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8939 libraries unless it's really needed.
8940
8941 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8942 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8943 declarations (they differed!).
8944 [Richard Levitte]
8945
8946 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8947 [Richard Levitte]
8948
8949 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8950 [Richard Levitte]
8951
8952 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8953 [Bodo Moeller]
8954
8955 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8956 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8957 [Richard Levitte]
8958
8959 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8960 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8961 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8962
8963 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8964 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8965 [Richard Levitte]
8966
8967 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8968 [Richard Levitte]
8969
8970 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8971 [Richard Levitte]
8972
8973 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8974 [Ben Laurie]
8975
8976 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8977 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8978 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8979
8980 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8981 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8982 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8983 different shared library filenames on each system.
8984 [Geoff Thorpe]
8985
8986 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8987 [Richard Levitte]
8988
8989 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8990 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8991 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8992 of two sections.
8993 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8994
8995 *) NCONF changes.
8996 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8997 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8998 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8999 binary backward compatibility.
9000 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9001 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9002 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9003 LDAP server.
9004 [Richard Levitte]
9005
9006 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9007 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9008 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9009 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9010 this case.
9011 [Steve Henson]
9012
9013 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9014 [Ben Laurie]
9015
9016 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9017 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9018 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9019 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9020 set.
9021 [Steve Henson]
9022
9023 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9024 [Richard Levitte]
9025
9026 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9027
9028 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9029 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9030 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9031
9032 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9033
9034 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9035
9036 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9037 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9038 [Steve Henson]
9039
9040 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9041
9042 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9043
9044 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9045 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9046
9047 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9048 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9049
9050 [Steve Henson]
9051
9052 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9053 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9054 specifications.
9055 [Steve Henson]
9056
9057 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9058 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9059 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9060 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9061
9062 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9063 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9064 [Richard Levitte]
9065
9066 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9067
9068 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9069 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9070 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9071 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9072 [Bodo Moeller]
9073
9074 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9075 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9076 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9077 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9078 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9079
9080 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9081 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9082 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9083 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9084 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9085 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9086 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9087 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9088 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9089 [Bodo Moeller]
9090
9091 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9092
9093 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9094 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9095 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9096 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9097 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9098
9099 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9100 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9101 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9102
9103 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9104
9105 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9106 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9107 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9108 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9109 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9110 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9111 [Geoff Thorpe]
9112
9113 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9114 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9115 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9116 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9117 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9118 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9119
9120 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9121 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9122 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9123
9124 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9125 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9126 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9127 EVP_cleanup().
9128 [Richard Levitte]
9129
9130 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9131 being properly terminated.
9132 [Richard Levitte]
9133
9134 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9135 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9136 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9137 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9138
9139 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9140 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9141 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9142 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9143 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9144 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9145 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9146 change.
9147 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9148
9149 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9150 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9151 [Bodo Moeller]
9152
9153 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9154 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9155 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9156 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9157 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9158 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9159 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9160 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9161
9162 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9163 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9164 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9165 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9166 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9167
9168 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9169 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9170 [Steve Henson]
9171
9172 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9173
9174 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9175 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9176 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9177
9178 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9179
9180 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9181 and get fix the header length calculation.
9182 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9183 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9184 Steve Henson]
9185
9186 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9187 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9188 assertions could call abort()).
9189 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9190
9191 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9192
9193 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9194 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9195 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9196 supplied buffer.
9197 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9198
9199 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9200 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9201 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9202 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9203
9204 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9205 [Nils Larsch]
9206
9207 *) New option
9208 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9209 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9210 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9211
9212 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9213 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9214 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9215 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9216 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9217 applications.
9218 [Bodo Moeller]
9219
9220 *) Changes in security patch:
9221
9222 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9223 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9224 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9225 F30602-01-2-0537.
9226
9227 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9228 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9229 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9230 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9231 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9232
9233 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9234 happen in practice.
9235 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9236
9237 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9238 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9239 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9240
9241 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9242 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9244
9245 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9246 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9247 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9248
9249 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9250
9251 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9252 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9253 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9254
9255 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9256 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9257
9258 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9259 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9260 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9261 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9262 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9263 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9264 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9265
9266 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9267 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9268 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9269 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9270 [Bodo Moeller]
9271
9272 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9273 [Bodo Moeller]
9274
9275 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9276 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9277 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9278 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9279 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9280 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9281
9282 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9283 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9284 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9285 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9286 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9287 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9288
9289 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9290 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9291 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9292 BN_generate_prime().)
9293
9294 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9295 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9296 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9297 better.
9298 [Bodo Moeller]
9299
9300 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9301 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9302 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9303
9304 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9305 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9306 when using non-blocking I/O.
9307 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9308
9309 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9310 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9311
9312 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9313 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9314 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9315
9316 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9317 configuration for the versions before that.
9318 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9319
9320 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9321 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9322 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9323 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9324 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9325
9326 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9327 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9328 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9329 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9330
9331 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9332 value is 0.
9333 [Richard Levitte]
9334
9335 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9336 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9337 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9338
9339 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9340 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9341
9342 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9343 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9344 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9345 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9346 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9347 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9348 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9349 session cache.
9350
9351 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9352 using a local variable.
9353 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9354
9355 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9356 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9357 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9358
9359 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9360 [Richard Levitte]
9361
9362 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9363 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9364
9365 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9366 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9367 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9368
9369 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9370
9371 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9372 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9373 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9374 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9375 [Bodo Moeller]
9376
9377 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9378 present.
9379 [Steve Henson]
9380
9381 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9382 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9383 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9384 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9385 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9386
9387 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9388 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9389 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9390
9391 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9392 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9393 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9394
9395 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9396 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9397 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9398 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9399
9400 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9401 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9402 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9403 modules).
9404 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9405
9406 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9407 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9408 from 0.9.7.
9409 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9410
9411 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9412 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9413 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9414 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9415
9416 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9417 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9418 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9419 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9420
9421 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9422 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9423
9424 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9425 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9426 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9427 [Bodo Moeller]
9428
9429 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9430 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9431 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9432 become invalid.
9433 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9434
9435 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9436 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9437 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9438 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9439 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9440 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9441 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9442 [Bodo Moeller]
9443
9444 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9445 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9446 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9447 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9448
9449 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9450 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9451 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9452 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9453 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9454 the client will at least see that alert.
9455 [Bodo Moeller]
9456
9457 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9458 correctly.
9459 [Bodo Moeller]
9460
9461 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9462 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9463 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9464
9465 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9466 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9467 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9468 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9469 HelloRequest.
9470
9471 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9472 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9473 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9474
9475 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9476 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9477 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9478 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9479 may leak via logfiles.)
9480
9481 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9482 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9483 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9484 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9485 the legal range.
9486 [Bodo Moeller]
9487
9488 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9489 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9490 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9491
9492 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9493 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9494 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9495 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9496 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9497 [Bodo Moeller]
9498
9499 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9500 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9501
9502 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9503 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9504 followed by modular reduction.
9505 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9506
9507 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9508 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9509 [Bodo Moeller]
9510
9511 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9512 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9513 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9514 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9515 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9516
9517 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9518 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9519
9520 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9521 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9522 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9523
9524 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9525 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9526 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9527 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9528 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9529 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9530 automatically.
9531 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9532
9533 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9534 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9535 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9536 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9537 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9538
9539 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9540 [Andy Polyakov]
9541
9542 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9543 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9544 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9545 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9546 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9547 to allow the necessary settings.
9548 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9549
9550 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9551 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9552 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9553 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9554 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9555
9556 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9557 dh->length and always used
9558
9559 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9560
9561 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9562 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9563 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9564 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9565 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9566 dh->length.
9567
9568 So switch back to
9569
9570 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9571
9572 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9573 otherwise.
9574 [Bodo Moeller]
9575
9576 *) In
9577
9578 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9579 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9580 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9581 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9582
9583 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9584 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9585 always reject numbers >= n.
9586 [Bodo Moeller]
9587
9588 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9589 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9590 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9591 variable) is not atomic.
9592 [Bodo Moeller]
9593
9594 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9595 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9596 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9597 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9598
9599 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9600 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9601
9602 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9603 little-endian MIPS.
9604 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9605
9606 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9607 [Richard Levitte]
9608
9609 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9610
9611 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9612 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9613 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9614 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9615 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9616 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9617 to traverse all of 'state'.
9618
9619 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9620 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9621 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9622
9623 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9624 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9625
9626 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9627 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9628 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9629 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9630 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9631 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9632 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9633 further strengthens the PRNG.
9634 [Bodo Moeller]
9635
9636 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9637 [Andy Polyakov]
9638
9639 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9640 an error message in this case.
9641 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9642
9643 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9644 [Steve Henson]
9645
9646 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9647 positive and less than q.
9648 [Bodo Moeller]
9649
9650 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9651 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9652 that itself.
9653 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9654
9655 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9656 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9657 [Bodo Moeller]
9658
9659 *) Fix OAEP check.
9660 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9661
9662 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9663 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9664 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9665 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9666 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9667 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9668 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9669 paper.)
9670
9671 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9672 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9673 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9674 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9675
9676 Both problems are now fixed.
9677 [Bodo Moeller]
9678
9679 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9680 (previously it was 1024).
9681 [Bodo Moeller]
9682
9683 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9684 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9685 [Steve Henson]
9686
9687 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9688 [Steve Henson]
9689
9690 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9691 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9692 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9693 [Steve Henson]
9694
9695 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9696 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9697 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9698 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9699 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9700 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9701 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9702 environment variables.
9703
9704 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9705 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9706 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9707 [Bodo Moeller]
9708
9709 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9710 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9711 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9712 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9713 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9714 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9715 [Bodo Moeller]
9716
9717 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9718 versions of 'test'.
9719 [Bodo Moeller]
9720
9721 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9722
9723 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9724 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9725
9726 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9727 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9728 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9729 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9730 CygWin.
9731 [Richard Levitte]
9732
9733 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9734 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9735 amount of data available.
9736 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9737 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9738
9739 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9740 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9741 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9742 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9743 [Bodo Moeller]
9744
9745 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9746 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9747 and UnixWare.
9748 [Richard Levitte]
9749
9750 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9751 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9752 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9753 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9754 [Ulf Moeller]
9755
9756 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9757 [Andy Polyakov]
9758
9759 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9760 [Richard Levitte]
9761
9762 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9763 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9764 [Steve Henson]
9765 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9766
9767 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9768 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9769 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9770 (but broken) behaviour.
9771 [Steve Henson]
9772
9773 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9774 it when found.
9775 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9776
9777 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9778 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9779 [Bodo Moeller]
9780
9781 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9782 did not exist.
9783 [Bodo Moeller]
9784
9785 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9786 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9787
9788 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9789 [Richard Levitte]
9790
9791 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9792 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9793 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9794
9795 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9796 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9797 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9798 [Steve Henson]
9799
9800 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9801 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9802 [Ulf Moeller]
9803
9804 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9805 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9806
9807 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9808
9809 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9810
9811 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9812 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9813 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9814 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9815 [Bodo Moeller]
9816
9817 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9818 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9819
9820 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9821 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9822 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9823
9824 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9825 was empty.
9826 [Steve Henson]
9827 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9828
9829 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9830 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9831 but the code is actually correct.
9832 [Steve Henson]
9833
9834 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9835 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9836 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9837 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9838 and leaves the highest bit random.
9839 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9840
9841 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9842 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9843 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9844 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9845 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9846 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9847 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9848 [Bodo Moeller]
9849
9850 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9851 [Ulf Moeller]
9852
9853 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9854 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9855 [Steve Henson]
9856
9857 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9858 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9859 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9860 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9861 headers.
9862 [Richard Levitte]
9863
9864 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9865 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9866 and break the signature.
9867 [Steve Henson]
9868 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9869
9870 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9871 DH ciphersuites.
9872 [Steve Henson]
9873
9874 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9875 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9876 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9877 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9878 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9879 [Bodo Moeller]
9880
9881 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9882 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9883
9884 *) ./config script fixes.
9885 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9886
9887 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9888 [Bodo Moeller]
9889
9890 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9891 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9892 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9893 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9894 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9895
9896 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9897 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9898 [Bodo Moeller]
9899
9900 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9901 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9902 [Steve Henson]
9903
9904 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9905 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9906 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9907 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9908
9909 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9910 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9911
9912 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9913 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9914 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9915 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9916 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9917
9918 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9919 [Bodo Moeller]
9920
9921 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9922 [Ulf Möller]
9923
9924 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9925 [Ulf Möller]
9926
9927 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9928 [Bodo Moeller]
9929
9930 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9931 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9932 [Bodo Moeller]
9933
9934 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9935 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9936 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9937 result of the server certificate verification.)
9938 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9939
9940 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9941 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9942 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9943 [Bodo Moeller]
9944
9945 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9946 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9947 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9948 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9949 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9950 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9951 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9952 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9953 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9954 [Bodo Moeller]
9955
9956 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9957 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9958 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9959 happening the other way round.
9960 [Geoff Thorpe]
9961
9962 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9963 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9964 [Bodo Moeller]
9965
9966 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9967 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9968 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9969 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9970 [Richard Levitte]
9971
9972 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9973 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9974
9975 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9976
9977 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9978 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9979 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9980 that.
9981
9982 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9983
9984 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9985
9986 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9987 static ones.
9988 [Richard Levitte]
9989
9990 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9991
9992 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9993 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9994 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9995 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9996 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9997
9998 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9999 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10000 matter what.
10001 [Richard Levitte]
10002
10003 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10004 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10005
10006 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10007
10008 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10009 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10010 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10011 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10012 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10013 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10014 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10015 by the Finished messages.
10016 [Bodo Moeller]
10017
10018 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10019 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
10020
10021 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10022 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10023 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10024 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10025 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10026 appropriately.
10027 [Steve Henson]
10028
10029 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10030 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10031 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10032 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10033 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10034 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10035 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10036 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10037 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10038 together.
10039 [Steve Henson]
10040
10041 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10042 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10043 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10044 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10045
10046 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10047 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10048 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10049 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10050 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10051 the answer.
10052
10053 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10054 been tested well enough.
10055 [Richard Levitte]
10056
10057 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10058 it can return incorrect results.
10059 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10060 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10061 [Bodo Moeller]
10062
10063 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10064 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10065 include zero length content when signing messages.
10066 [Steve Henson]
10067
10068 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10069 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10070 [Bodo Möller]
10071
10072 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10073 [Richard Levitte]
10074
10075 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10076 wrong sign.
10077 [Ulf Möller]
10078
10079 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10080 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10081 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10082 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10083 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10084 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10085 [Richard Levitte]
10086
10087 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10088 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10089
10090 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10091 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10092
10093 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10094 random number < q in the DSA library.
10095 [Ulf Möller]
10096
10097 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10098 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10099 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10100 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10101 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10102 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10103 just makes things more complicated.)
10104 [Bodo Moeller]
10105
10106 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10107 from EGD.
10108 [Ben Laurie]
10109
10110 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10111 work better on such systems.
10112 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10113
10114 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10115 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10116 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10117 [Steve Henson]
10118
10119 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10120 if there was more than one signature.
10121 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10122
10123 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10124 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10125 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10126 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10127 [Richard Levitte]
10128
10129 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10130 rather than always using the current time.
10131 [Steve Henson]
10132
10133 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10134 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10135 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10136 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10137 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10138 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10139
10140 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10141 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10142
10143 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10144
10145 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10146 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10147 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10148 the same hash value.
10149
10150 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10151 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10152 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10153 with X509_STORE internally.
10154
10155 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10156 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10157
10158 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10159 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10160 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10161 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10162 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10163 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10164 entirely (maybe later...).
10165
10166 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10167
10168 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10169 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10170 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10171 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10172 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10173 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10174 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10175 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10176
10177 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10178 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10179
10180 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10181 to customise the verify behaviour.
10182 [Steve Henson]
10183
10184 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10185 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10186 [Steve Henson]
10187
10188 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10189 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10190 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10191 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10192 request is improperly encoded.
10193 [Steve Henson]
10194
10195 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10196 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10197 BIO_write(b, ...).
10198
10199 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10200 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10201
10202 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10203 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10204 words set to zero.)
10205 [Bodo Moeller]
10206
10207 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10208 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10209 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10210 [Bodo Moeller]
10211
10212 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10213 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10214 BIO/fp routines also added.
10215 [Steve Henson]
10216
10217 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10218 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10219
10220 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10221 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10222 demos/state_machine.
10223 [Ben Laurie]
10224
10225 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10226 generation and verification.
10227 [Steve Henson]
10228
10229 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10230 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10231 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10232 encode and decode it manually.
10233 [Steve Henson]
10234
10235 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10236 compile under VC++.
10237 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10238
10239 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10240 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10241 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10242 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10243
10244 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10245 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10246 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10247 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10248 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10249 [Steve Henson]
10250
10251 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10252 [Richard Levitte]
10253
10254 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10255 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10256 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10257
10258 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10259 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10260 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10261 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10262 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10263 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10264 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10265 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10266
10267 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10268 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10269
10270 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10271
10272 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10273 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10274 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10275
10276 [Richard Levitte]
10277
10278 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10279 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10280 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10281 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10282 [Richard Levitte]
10283
10284 *) MD4 implemented.
10285 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10286
10287 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10288 [Richard Levitte]
10289
10290 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10291 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10292 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10293 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10294 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10295 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10296 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10297 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10298 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10299 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10300 short or long names are found.
10301 [Steve Henson]
10302
10303 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10304 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10305
10306 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10307 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10308 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10309 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10310
10311 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10312 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10313 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10314 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10315 [Bodo Moeller]
10316
10317 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10318 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10319 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10320 [Richard Levitte]
10321
10322 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10323 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10324 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10325 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10326 to allow the various flags to be set.
10327 [Steve Henson]
10328
10329 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10330 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10331 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10332 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10333 dates to be checked.
10334 [Steve Henson]
10335
10336 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10337 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10338 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10339 [Steve Henson]
10340
10341 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10342 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10343 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10344 [Steve Henson]
10345
10346 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10347 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10348 [Bodo Moeller]
10349
10350 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10351 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10352 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10353 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10354 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10355 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10356 [Richard Levitte]
10357
10358 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10359 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10360 Random Numbers.
10361 [Ulf Möller]
10362
10363 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10364 DSA key.
10365 [Steve Henson]
10366
10367 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10368 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10369 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10370 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10371 form signing output easier to verify.
10372 [Steve Henson]
10373
10374 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10375 [Steve Henson]
10376
10377 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10378 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10379 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10380 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10381 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10382 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10383 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10384 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10385 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10386 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10387 [Steve Henson]
10388
10389 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10390
10391 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10392 the syntax given in objects.README.
10393 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10394 obj_mac.h.
10395 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10396 obj_mac.h.
10397
10398 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10399 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10400 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10401 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10402 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10403 consistent name changes.
10404 [Richard Levitte]
10405
10406 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10407 [Bodo Moeller]
10408
10409 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10410 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10411 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10412 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10413 [Richard Levitte]
10414
10415 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10416 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10417 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10418 of safestack.h .
10419 [Steve Henson]
10420
10421 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10422 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10423 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10424 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10425 [Steve Henson]
10426
10427 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10428 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10429 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10430 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10431 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10432 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10433 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10434 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10435 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10436 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10437 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10438 [Steve Henson]
10439
10440 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10441 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10442 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10443 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10444 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10445 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10446 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10447 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10448 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10449 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10450 [Steve Henson]
10451
10452 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10453 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10454 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10455 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10456
10457 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10458 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10459 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10460 omit any duplicate addresses.
10461 [Steve Henson]
10462
10463 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10464 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10465 [Bodo Moeller]
10466
10467 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10468 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10469 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10470 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10471 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10472 [Bodo Moeller]
10473
10474 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10475 software:
10476 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10477 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10478 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10479 Free => OPENSSL_free
10480 [Richard Levitte]
10481
10482 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10483 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10484 [Bodo Moeller]
10485
10486 *) CygWin32 support.
10487 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10488
10489 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10490 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10491 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10492 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10493 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10494 approach.
10495 [Geoff Thorpe]
10496
10497 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10498 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10499 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10500 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10501 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10502 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10503 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10504 [Geoff Thorpe]
10505
10506 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10507 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10508 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10509 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10510 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10511 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10512 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10513 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10514 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10515 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10516 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10517 [Bodo Moeller]
10518
10519 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10520 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10521 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10522 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10523 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10524
10525 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10526 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10527 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10528 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10529 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10530
10531 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10532 ciphers.
10533
10534 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10535 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10536 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10537 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10538
10539 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10540
10541 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10542 of macros.
10543
10544 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10545 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10546 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10547 flags.
10548
10549 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10550 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10551 any installed hardware versions can.
10552 [Steve Henson]
10553
10554 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10555 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10556 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10557 number.
10558 [Bodo Moeller]
10559
10560 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10561 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10562 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10563 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10564 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10565
10566 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10567 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10568 [Steve Henson]
10569
10570 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10571 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10572 [Richard Levitte]
10573
10574 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10575 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10576 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10577 features.
10578 [Steve Henson]
10579
10580 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10581 [Ulf Möller]
10582
10583 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10584 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10585 but no ssl client purpose.
10586 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10587
10588 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10589 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10590 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10591 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10592 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10593 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10594 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10595 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10596 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10597 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10598 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10599 [Steve Henson]
10600
10601 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10602 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10603 be obtained from the error queue.
10604 [Bodo Moeller]
10605
10606 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10607 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10608 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10609 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10610 [Bodo Moeller]
10611
10612 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10613 [Ulf Möller]
10614
10615 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10616 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10617 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10618 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10619 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10620 [Geoff Thorpe]
10621
10622 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10623 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10624 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10625 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10626 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10627 [Geoff Thorpe]
10628
10629 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10630 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10631 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10632 may not be NULL.
10633 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10634
10635 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10636 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10637 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10638 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10639 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10640 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10641 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10642 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10643 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10644 or "the configuration storage API"...
10645
10646 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10647
10648 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10649 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10650
10651 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10652
10653 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10654
10655 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10656 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10657 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10658 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10659 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10660 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10661 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10662
10663 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10664 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10665 [Richard Levitte]
10666
10667 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10668 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10669 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10670 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10671 [Bodo Moeller]
10672
10673 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10674 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10675 them in a portable way.
10676 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10677
10678 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10679
10680 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10681
10682 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10683 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10684
10685 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10686 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10687 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10688 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10689
10690 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10691 was larger than the MD block size.
10692 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10693
10694 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10695 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10696 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10697 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10698 components.
10699 [Steve Henson]
10700
10701 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10702 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10703 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10704
10705 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10706 discouraged.
10707 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10708
10709 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10710 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10711 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10712 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10713 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10714 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10715
10716 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10717 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10718
10719 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10720 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10721 [Bodo Moeller]
10722
10723 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10724 [Bodo Moeller]
10725
10726 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10727 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10728 its own key.
10729 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10730 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10731 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10732 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10733 [Bodo Moeller]
10734
10735 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10736 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10737 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10738 does not suppress any output.
10739 [Richard Levitte]
10740
10741 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10742 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10743 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10744 with all the associated security issues.
10745
10746 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10747 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10748 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10749 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10750 use the value in the default purpose.
10751 [Steve Henson]
10752
10753 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10754 and fix a memory leak.
10755 [Steve Henson]
10756
10757 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10758 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10759 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10760 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10761 [Bodo Moeller]
10762
10763 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10764 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10765 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10766 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10767 [Bodo Moeller]
10768
10769 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10770 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10771 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10772 [Bodo Moeller]
10773
10774 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10775 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10776 [Bodo Moeller]
10777
10778 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10779 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10780 which was free.
10781 [Steve Henson]
10782
10783 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10784 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10785 [Bodo Moeller]
10786
10787 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10788 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10789 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10790 [Bodo Moeller]
10791
10792 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10793 number generation fails.
10794 [Bodo Moeller]
10795
10796 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10797 [Bodo Moeller]
10798
10799 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10800 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10801
10802 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10803 [Ulf Möller]
10804
10805 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10806 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10807
10808 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10809 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10810
10811 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10812
10813 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10814 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10815 [Steve Henson]
10816
10817 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10818 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10819
10820 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10821 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10822 [Ulf Möller]
10823
10824 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10825 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10826 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10827 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10828 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10829 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10830
10831 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10832 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10833 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10834 for example.
10835 [Steve Henson]
10836
10837 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10838 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10839 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10840 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10841 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10842 counter, some don't.)
10843 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10844 counters or duplicate objects.
10845 [Steve Henson]
10846
10847 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10848 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10849 [Steve Henson]
10850
10851 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10852 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10853 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10854
10855 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10856 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10857 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10858 or -rand.
10859 [Ulf Möller]
10860
10861 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10862 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10863 [Steve Henson]
10864
10865 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10866 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10867 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10868 cipher list.
10869 [Steve Henson]
10870
10871 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10872 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10873 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10874 [Steve Henson]
10875
10876 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10877 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10878 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10879 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10880 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10881 should work without changes.
10882 [Richard Levitte]
10883
10884 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10885 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10886 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10887 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10888 must be defined. E.g.,
10889 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10890 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10891 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10892 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10893
10894 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10895 record layer.
10896 [Bodo Moeller]
10897
10898 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10899 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10900 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10901 [Steve Henson]
10902
10903 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10904 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10905 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10906 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10907 [Steve Henson]
10908
10909 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10910 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10911 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10912 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10913 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10914 is prompted for as usual.
10915 [Steve Henson]
10916
10917 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10918 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10919 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10920 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10921
10922 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10923 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10924 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10925 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10926 [Steve Henson]
10927
10928 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10929 [Andy Polyakov]
10930
10931 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10932 of seed file.
10933 [Steve Henson]
10934
10935 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10936 [Bodo Moeller]
10937
10938 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10939 [Steve Henson]
10940
10941 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10942 bits.
10943 [Ulf Möller]
10944
10945 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10946 [Ulf Möller]
10947
10948 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10949 [Andy Polyakov]
10950
10951 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10952 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10953 [Ulf Möller]
10954
10955 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10956 options to produce them.
10957 [Steve Henson]
10958
10959 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10960 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10961 [Ulf Möller]
10962
10963 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10964 for p == 0.
10965 [Ulf Möller]
10966
10967 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10968 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10969 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10970 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10971 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10972 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10973 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10974 [Steve Henson]
10975
10976 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10977 [Steve Henson]
10978
10979 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10980 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10981 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10982 [Bodo Moeller]
10983
10984 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10985 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10986
10987 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10988 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10989 [Ulf Möller]
10990
10991 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10992 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10993 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10994 has already seen).
10995 [Bodo Moeller]
10996
10997 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10998 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10999
11000 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11001 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11002 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11003 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11004 generation becomes much faster.
11005
11006 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11007 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11008 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11009 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11010 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11011 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11012 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11013 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11014 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11015 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11016 [Bodo Moeller]
11017
11018 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11019 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11020 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11021 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11022 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11023 trial division stage.
11024 [Bodo Moeller]
11025
11026 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11027 as ASN1_TIME.
11028 [Steve Henson]
11029
11030 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11031 [Steve Henson]
11032
11033 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11034 [Ulf Möller]
11035
11036 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11037 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11038 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11039 the comments.
11040 [Ulf Möller]
11041
11042 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11043 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11044 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11045 [Bodo Moeller]
11046
11047 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11048 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11049 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11050 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11051
11052 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11053 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11054 [Steve Henson]
11055
11056 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11057 [Ulf Möller]
11058
11059 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11060 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11061 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11062 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11063 [Ulf Möller]
11064
11065 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11066 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11067 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11068 [Ulf Möller]
11069
11070 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11071 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11072 (instead of parameters) in future.
11073 [Steve Henson]
11074
11075 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11076 when a new cipher list is set.
11077 [Steve Henson]
11078
11079 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11080 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11081 wrong.
11082
11083 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11084 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11085 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11086
11087 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11088 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11089 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11090 an error is flagged.
11091
11092 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11093 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11094 the readability was also increased :-)
11095 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11096
11097 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11098 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11099 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11100 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11101 as the root CA.
11102 [Steve Henson]
11103
11104 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11105 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11106 [Steve Henson]
11107
11108 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11109 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11110 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11111 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11112 instead.
11113
11114 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11115 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11116 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11117 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11118 because they handle more complex structures.)
11119 [Steve Henson]
11120
11121 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11122 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11123 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11124 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11125
11126 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11127 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11128 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11129 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11130 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11131 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11132 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11133 [Ulf Möller]
11134
11135 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11136 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11137 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11138 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11139 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11140 [Bodo Moeller]
11141
11142 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11143 [Bodo Moeller]
11144
11145 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11146 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11147 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11148 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11149 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11150 to use this.
11151
11152 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11153 code.
11154 [Steve Henson]
11155
11156 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11157 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11158 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11159 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11160 [Steve Henson]
11161
11162 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11163 [Ulf Möller]
11164
11165 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11166 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11167 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11168 international characters are used.
11169
11170 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11171 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11172 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11173 in ASN1 order.
11174 [Steve Henson]
11175
11176 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11177 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11178 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11179 request.
11180
11181 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11182 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11183 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11184 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11185 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11186 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11187
11188 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11189 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11190 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11191 be handled by the string table functions.
11192
11193 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11194 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11195 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11196 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11197 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11198 types at all.
11199 [Steve Henson]
11200
11201 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11202 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11203 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11204 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11205 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11206
11207 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11208 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11209 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11210 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11211 [Bodo Moeller]
11212
11213 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11214 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11215 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11216 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11217 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11218 SHA1.
11219 [Andy Polyakov]
11220
11221 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11222 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11223 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11224 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11225 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11226 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11227 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11228 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11229
11230 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11231 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11232 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11233 [Steve Henson]
11234
11235 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11236 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11237 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11238 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11239 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11240 support to pkcs8 application.
11241 [Steve Henson]
11242
11243 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11244 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11245 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11246 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11247 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11248 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11249 [Bodo Moeller]
11250
11251 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11252 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11253 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11254 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11255 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11256 consistency.
11257 [Bodo Moeller]
11258
11259 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11260 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11261 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11262 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11263 example.
11264 [Steve Henson]
11265
11266 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11267 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11268 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11269 and any application specific purposes.
11270
11271 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11272 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11273 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11274 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11275 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11276 if the certificate is self signed.
11277 [Steve Henson]
11278
11279 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11280 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11281 [Steve Henson]
11282
11283 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11284 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11285 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11286 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11287 [Steve Henson]
11288
11289 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11290 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11291 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11292 Update documentation.
11293 [Steve Henson]
11294
11295 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11296 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11297 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11298 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11299 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11300 [Steve Henson]
11301
11302 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11303 for details.
11304 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11305
11306 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11307 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11308 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11309 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11310 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11311 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11312 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11313 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11314 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11315 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11316
11317 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11318
11319 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11320 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11321 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11322 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11323 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11324
11325 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11326 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11327 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11328 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11329 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11330 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11331 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11332 request additional information:
11333 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11334 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11335
11336 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11337 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11338 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11339 options.
11340
11341 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11342 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11343
11344 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11345 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11346 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11347
11348 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11349 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11350
11351 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11352 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11353 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11354 algorithm.
11355 [Steve Henson]
11356
11357 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11358 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11359 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11360
11361 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11362 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11363 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11364 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11365 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11366 included in OpenSSL.
11367 [Steve Henson]
11368
11369 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11370 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11371 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11372 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11373 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11374 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11375 [Bodo Moeller]
11376
11377 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11378 PKCS12 structure.
11379 [Steve Henson]
11380
11381 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11382 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11383 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11384 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11385 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11386 structure.
11387 [Steve Henson]
11388
11389 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11390 need initialising.
11391 [Steve Henson]
11392
11393 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11394 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11395 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11396 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11397 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11398 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11399 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11400 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11401 be maintained manually.
11402
11403 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11404 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11405 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11406 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11407 work because people forget to call this function]
11408 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11409 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11410 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11411 [Steve Henson]
11412
11413 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11414 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11415 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11416 should be discouraged from doing it.
11417 [Ben Laurie]
11418
11419 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11420 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11421 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11422 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11423 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11424 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11425 [Steve Henson]
11426
11427 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11428 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11429 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11430
11431 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11432 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11433 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11434
11435 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11436 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11437 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11438 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11439 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11440 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11441
11442 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11443 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11444 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11445
11446 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11447 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11448 and vice versa.
11449
11450 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11451 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11452 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11453 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11454 [Steve Henson]
11455
11456 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11457 [Steve Henson]
11458
11459 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11460 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11461 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11462 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11463 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11464 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11465 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11466 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11467 keys so we should be OK.
11468
11469 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11470 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11471 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11472 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11473 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11474 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11475 stay in the name of compatibility.
11476
11477 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11478 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11479 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11480
11481 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11482 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11483 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11484 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11485 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11486 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11487 supplied key).
11488 [Steve Henson]
11489
11490 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11491 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11492 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11493 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11494 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11495 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11496 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11497 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11498 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11499 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11500 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11501 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11502 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11503 [Steve Henson]
11504
11505 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11506 [Steve Henson]
11507
11508 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11509 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11510 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11511 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11512 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11513 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11514 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11515 openssl verify ss.pem
11516 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11517 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11518 is OK.
11519 [Steve Henson]
11520
11521 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11522 (and add it to external session representation).
11523 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11524 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11525 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11526 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11527 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11528 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11529 security holes.
11530 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11531
11532 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11533 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11534 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11535 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11536
11537 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11538 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11539 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11540 [Steve Henson]
11541
11542 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11543 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11544 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11545 code.
11546 [Steve Henson]
11547
11548 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11549 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11550 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11551
11552 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11553 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11554 certificate auxiliary information.
11555 [Steve Henson]
11556
11557 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11558 the 'enc' command.
11559 [Steve Henson]
11560
11561 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11562 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11563 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11564 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11565 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11566 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11567 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11568 [Richard Levitte]
11569
11570 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11571 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11572 [Steve Henson]
11573
11574 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11575 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11576 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11577 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11578 [Steve Henson]
11579
11580 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11581 [Steve Henson]
11582
11583 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11584 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11585 [Steve Henson]
11586
11587 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11588 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11589 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11590 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11591 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11592 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11593 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11594 using the new 'x509' options.
11595
11596 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11597 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11598 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11599 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11600 for all purposes.
11601 [Steve Henson]
11602
11603 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11604 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11605 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11606 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11607 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11608 [Mark Cox]
11609
11610 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11611 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11612 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11613 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11614 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11615 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11616 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11617 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11618 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11619 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11620 [Steve Henson]
11621
11622 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11623 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11624 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11625 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11626 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11627 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11628 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11629 [Steve Henson]
11630
11631 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11632 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11633 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11634 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11635 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11636 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11637 openssl.cnf for more info.
11638 [Steve Henson]
11639
11640 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11641 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11642 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11643 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11644 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11645 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11646 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11647 md should be large enough anyway.
11648 [Bodo Moeller]
11649
11650 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11651 for handling the random seed file.
11652
11653 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11654 ca,
11655 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11656 s_client,
11657 s_server,
11658 x509 (when signing).
11659 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11660 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11661 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11662
11663 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11664 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11665 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11666 that support '-rand'.
11667 [Bodo Moeller]
11668
11669 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11670 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11671 [Bodo Moeller]
11672
11673 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11674 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11675 [Bill Perry]
11676
11677 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11678 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11679 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11680 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11681 is suitable.
11682 [Steve Henson]
11683
11684 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11685 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11686 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11687 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11688 [Steve Henson]
11689
11690 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11691 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11692 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11693 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11694 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11695 print out all the purposes.
11696 [Steve Henson]
11697
11698 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11699 functions.
11700 [Steve Henson]
11701
11702 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11703 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11704 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11705 single function call.
11706 [Steve Henson]
11707
11708 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11709 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11710 [Andy Polyakov]
11711
11712 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11713 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11714 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11715 [Steve Henson]
11716
11717 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11718 when producing the local key id.
11719 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11720
11721 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11722 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11723 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11724 "server.pem".
11725 [Steve Henson]
11726
11727 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11728 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11729 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11730 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11731 [Steve Henson]
11732
11733 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11734 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11735 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11736 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11737
11738 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11739 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11740 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11741 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11742
11743 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11744 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11745 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11746 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11747 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11748 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11749 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11750 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11751 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11752 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11753 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11754 trivial: move one line.
11755 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11756
11757 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11758 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11759 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11760 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11761 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11762 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11763 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11764 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11765 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11766 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11767 with an event loop for example.
11768 [Steve Henson]
11769
11770 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11771 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11772 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11773 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11774 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11775 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11776 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11777 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11778 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11779 [Steve Henson]
11780
11781 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11782 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11783 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11784 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11785 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11786 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11787 [Steve Henson]
11788
11789 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11790 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11791 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11792 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11793
11794 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11795 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11796 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11797 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11798 key generation.
11799 [Steve Henson]
11800
11801 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11802 (still largely untested)
11803 [Bodo Moeller]
11804
11805 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11806 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11807 [Steve Henson]
11808
11809 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11810 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11811 [Steve Henson]
11812
11813 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11814 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11815 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11816 [Bodo Moeller]
11817
11818 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11819 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11820 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11821 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11822 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11823 [Steve Henson]
11824
11825 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11826 [Andy Polyakov]
11827
11828 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11829 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11830 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11831 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11832 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11833 in ca.
11834 [Steve Henson]
11835
11836 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11837 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11838 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11839 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11840 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11841 [Steve Henson]
11842
11843 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11844 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11845 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11846 are otherwise ignored at present.
11847 [Steve Henson]
11848
11849 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11850 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11851 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11852 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11853 copied until the next read.
11854 [Steve Henson]
11855
11856 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11857 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11858 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11859 [Steve Henson]
11860
11861 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11862 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11863 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11864 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11865 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11866 associated functions.
11867 [Steve Henson]
11868
11869 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11870 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11871 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11872 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11873 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11874 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11875 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11876 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11877 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11878 memory BIOs.
11879 [Steve Henson]
11880
11881 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11882 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11883 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11884 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11885 [Bodo Moeller]
11886
11887 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11888 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11889 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11890 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11891 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11892 functionality.
11893 [Steve Henson]
11894
11895 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11896 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11897 under Win32.
11898 [Steve Henson]
11899
11900 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11901 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11902 extensions to be obtained and added.
11903 [Steve Henson]
11904
11905 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11906 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11907 [Bodo Moeller]
11908
11909 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11910
11911 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11912 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11913
11914 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11915 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11916
11917 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11918 program.
11919 [Steve Henson]
11920
11921 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11922 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11923 DH parameters contain its length).
11924
11925 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11926 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11927 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11928 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11929 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11930 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11931 utter importance to use
11932 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11933 or
11934 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11935 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11936 attacks may become possible!
11937 [Bodo Moeller]
11938
11939 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11940 [Bodo Moeller]
11941
11942 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11943 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11944 [Steve Henson]
11945
11946 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11947 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11948 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11949 or long name.
11950 [Steve Henson]
11951
11952 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11953 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11954 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11955 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11956 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11957 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11958 private key operations.
11959 [Steve Henson]
11960
11961 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11962 [Andy Polyakov]
11963
11964 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11965 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11966 to
11967 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11968 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11969 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11970 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11971 the password callback is called.
11972 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11973
11974 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11975
11976 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11977 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11978 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11979 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11980 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11981 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11982 this will work.
11983
11984 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11985 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11986 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11987 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11988 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11989 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11990 [Bodo Moeller]
11991
11992 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11993 [Andy Polyakov]
11994
11995 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11996 delete an unused file.
11997 [Ulf Möller]
11998
11999 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12000 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12001 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12002 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12003 [Steve Henson]
12004
12005 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12006 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12007 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12008 of an error.
12009 [Bodo Moeller]
12010
12011 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12012 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12013 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12014
12015 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12016 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12017 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12018 comparison" warnings.
12019 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12020 [Steve Henson]
12021
12022 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12023 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12024 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12025 [Steve Henson]
12026
12027 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12028 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12029
12030 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12031 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12032
12033 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12034 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12035 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12036
12037 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12038 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12039 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12040 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12041 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12042 this bug.
12043 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12044
12045 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12046 The interface is as follows:
12047 Applications can use
12048 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12049 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12050 "off" is now the default.
12051 The library internally uses
12052 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12053 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12054 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12055
12056 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12057 even the default) are now avoided.
12058
12059 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12060 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12061 than just having a counter.
12062
12063 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12064
12065 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12066 extensions.
12067 [Bodo Moeller]
12068
12069 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12070 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12071 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12072 Initial "mode" flags are:
12073
12074 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12075 a single record has been written.
12076 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12077 retries use the same buffer location.
12078 (But all of the contents must be
12079 copied!)
12080 [Bodo Moeller]
12081
12082 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12083 worked.
12084
12085 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12086 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12087
12088 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12089 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12090 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12091 [Steve Henson]
12092
12093 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12094 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12095 test programs.
12096 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12097
12098 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12099 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12100 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12101 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12102 point to the end.
12103 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12104 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12105
12106 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12107 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12108 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12109 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12110 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12111 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12112 [Steve Henson]
12113
12114 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12115 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12116 necessary function names.
12117 [Steve Henson]
12118
12119 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12120 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12121 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12122 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12123 [Bodo Moeller]
12124
12125 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12126 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12127 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12128 [Steve Henson]
12129
12130 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12131 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12132 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12133 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12134 such programs?)
12135 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12136 need locks.
12137 [Bodo Moeller]
12138
12139 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12140 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12141 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12142 [Bodo Moeller]
12143
12144 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12145 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12146 appropriate.
12147 [Bodo Moeller]
12148
12149 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12150 for the encoded length.
12151 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12152
12153 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12154 [Steve Henson]
12155
12156 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12157 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12158 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12159 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12160 [Steve Henson]
12161
12162 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12163 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12164 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12165
12166 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12167 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12168 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12169 unusual formatting.
12170 [Steve Henson]
12171
12172 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12173 to use the new extension code.
12174 [Steve Henson]
12175
12176 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12177 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12178 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12179 constant.
12180 [Steve Henson]
12181
12182 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12183 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12184 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12185 [Bodo Moeller]
12186
12187 #if 0
12188 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12189 [Ben Laurie]
12190 #else
12191 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12192 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12193 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12194 #endif
12195
12196 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12197 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12198 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12199 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12200 [Ben Laurie]
12201
12202 *) DES library cleanups.
12203 [Ulf Möller]
12204
12205 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12206 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12207 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12208 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12209 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12210 of v2.0.
12211 [Steve Henson]
12212
12213 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12214 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12215 [Bodo Moeller]
12216
12217 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12218 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12219 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12220 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12221 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12222 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12223 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12224 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12225 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12226 [Steve Henson]
12227
12228 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12229 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12230 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12231 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12232 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12233 value doesn't matter.
12234 [Steve Henson]
12235
12236 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12237 support mutable.
12238 [Ben Laurie]
12239
12240 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12241 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12242 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12243 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12244
12245 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12246 [Ulf Möller]
12247
12248 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12249 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12250 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12251
12252 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12253 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12254
12255 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12256 [Ben Laurie]
12257
12258 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12259 [Ben Laurie]
12260
12261 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12262 [Ben Laurie]
12263
12264 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12265 [Bodo Moeller]
12266
12267
12268 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12269
12270 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12271
12272 *) Updated some demos.
12273 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12274
12275 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12276 [Wu Zhigang]
12277
12278 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12279 [Steve Henson]
12280
12281 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12282 [Steve Henson]
12283
12284 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12285 instead of using a fixed path.
12286 [Bodo Moeller]
12287
12288 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12289 [Andy Polyakov]
12290
12291 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12292 [Richard Levitte]
12293
12294
12295 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12296
12297 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12298 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12299 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12300
12301 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12302 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12303 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12304 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12305 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12306 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12307 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12308 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12309 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12310 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12311 [Steve Henson]
12312
12313 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12314 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12315 [Steve Henson]
12316
12317 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12318 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12319 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12320 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12321 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12322
12323 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12324 [Bodo Moeller]
12325
12326 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12327 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12328 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12329 [Steve Henson]
12330
12331 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12332 [Ben Laurie]
12333
12334 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12335 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12336 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12337 key elements as negative integers.
12338 [Steve Henson]
12339
12340 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12341 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12342
12343 *) VMS support.
12344 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12345
12346 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12347 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12348 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12349 [Steve Henson]
12350
12351 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12352 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12353 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12354 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12355 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12356 [Bodo Moeller]
12357
12358 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12359 [Ulf Möller]
12360
12361 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12362 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12363 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12365
12366 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12367 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12368 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12369
12370 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12371 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12372 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12373 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12374 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12375 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12376 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12377 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12378 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12379
12380 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12381 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12382 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12383 does not influence s as it used to.
12384
12385 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12386 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12387 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12388 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12389 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12390 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12391 [Bodo Moeller]
12392
12393 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12394 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12395 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12396 key type.
12397 [Steve Henson]
12398
12399 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12400 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12401 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12402 and 'x509').
12403 [Steve Henson]
12404
12405 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12406 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12407 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12408 extension option.
12409 [Steve Henson]
12410
12411 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12412 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12413 [Ben Laurie]
12414
12415 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12416 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12417
12418 *) Support Mingw32.
12419 [Ulf Möller]
12420
12421 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12422 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12423
12424 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12425 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12426
12427 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12428 [Ulf Möller]
12429
12430 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12431 [Anonymous]
12432
12433 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12434 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12435
12436 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12437 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12438 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12439 DER-encoded.)
12440 [Bodo Moeller]
12441
12442 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12443 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12444 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12445 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12446 now it really counts the depth.
12447 [Bodo Moeller]
12448
12449 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12450 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12451 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12452 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12453 didn't match the private key).
12454
12455 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12456 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12457 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12458 [Bodo Moeller]
12459
12460 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12461 [Ulf Möller]
12462
12463 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12464 David Harris.
12465 [Bodo Moeller]
12466
12467 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12468 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12469 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12470 [Bodo Moeller]
12471
12472 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12473 [Bodo Moeller]
12474
12475 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12476 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12477 such as /usr/local/bin.
12478 [Bodo Moeller]
12479
12480 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12481 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12482
12483 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12484 [Ulf Möller]
12485
12486 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12487 extension adding in x509 utility.
12488 [Steve Henson]
12489
12490 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12491 [Ulf Möller]
12492
12493 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12494 prototypes.
12495 [Steve Henson]
12496
12497 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12498 [Ulf Möller]
12499
12500 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12501 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12502 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12503 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12504 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12505 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12506 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12507 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12508 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12509 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12510 [Steve Henson]
12511
12512 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12513 [Bodo Moeller]
12514
12515 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12516 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12517 [Bodo Moeller]
12518
12519 *) Fix some race conditions.
12520 [Bodo Moeller]
12521
12522 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12523 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12524 [Steve Henson]
12525
12526 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12527 [Ulf Möller]
12528
12529 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12530 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12531 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12532 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12533
12534 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12535 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12536
12537 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12538 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12539 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12540
12541 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12542 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12543
12544 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12545 [Ulf Möller]
12546
12547 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12548 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12549
12550 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12551 [Ulf Möller]
12552
12553 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12554 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12555
12556 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12557 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12558 [Steve Henson]
12559
12560 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12561 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12562 [Ben Laurie]
12563
12564 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12565 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12566 [Steve Henson]
12567
12568 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12569 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12570 [Steve Henson]
12571
12572 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12573 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12574 [Steve Henson]
12575
12576 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12577 support typesafe stack.
12578 [Steve Henson]
12579
12580 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12581 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12582
12583 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12584 old X509V3 handling code.
12585 [Steve Henson]
12586
12587 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12588 [Ulf Möller]
12589
12590 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12591 [Bodo Moeller]
12592
12593 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12594 [Ben Laurie]
12595
12596 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12597 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12598
12599 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12600 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12601 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12602 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12603 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12604 [Ben Laurie]
12605
12606 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12607 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12608 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12609 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12610 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12611
12612 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12613 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12614 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12615 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12616
12617 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12618 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12619 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12620 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12621
12622 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12623 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12624 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12625 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12626 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12627 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12628 [Bodo Moeller]
12629
12630 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12631 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12632 [Bodo Moeller]
12633
12634 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12635 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12636 [Ulf Möller]
12637
12638 *) Tweaks to Configure
12639 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12640
12641 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12642 yet...
12643 [Steve Henson]
12644
12645 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12646 [Ulf Möller]
12647
12648 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12649 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12650 [Ulf Möller]
12651
12652 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12653 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12654 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12655 [Bodo Moeller]
12656
12657 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12658 [Bodo Moeller]
12659
12660 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12661 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12662 [Steve Henson]
12663
12664 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12665 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12666 to library startup routines.
12667 [Steve Henson]
12668
12669 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12670 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12671 codes along the way.
12672 [Steve Henson]
12673
12674 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12675 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12676 objects to objects.h
12677 [Steve Henson]
12678
12679 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12680 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12681 [Steve Henson]
12682
12683 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12684 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12685
12686 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12687 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12688 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12689
12690 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12691 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12692 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12693
12694 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12695 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12696 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12697
12698
12699 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12700
12701 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12702 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12703 [Ben Laurie]
12704
12705 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12706 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12707 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12708 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12709 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12710
12711 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12712 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12713 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12714 document.
12715 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12716
12717 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12718 Malloc, Free.
12719 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12720
12721 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12722 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12723
12724 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12725 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12726 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12727 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12728
12729 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12730 [Ben Laurie]
12731
12732 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12733 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12734 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12735 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12736 [Steve Henson]
12737
12738 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12739 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12740 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12741 [Steve Henson]
12742
12743 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12744 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12745 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12746 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12747 installed as `perl').
12748 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12749
12750 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12751 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12752
12753 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12754 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12755 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12756 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12757 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12758 [Steve Henson]
12759
12760 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12761 [Ben Laurie]
12762
12763 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12764 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12765 is horrible: I feel ill....
12766 [Steve Henson]
12767
12768 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12769 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12770 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12771 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12772 [Steve Henson]
12773
12774 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12775 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12776
12777 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12778 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12779 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12780 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12781
12782 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12783 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12784 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12785 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12786 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12787 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12788 openssl_bio.xs.
12789 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12790
12791 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12792 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12793
12794 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12795 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12796
12797 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12798 [Ben Laurie]
12799
12800 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12801 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12802 in CRLs.
12803 [Steve Henson]
12804
12805 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12806 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12807 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12808 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12809 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12810 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12811 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12812 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12813 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12814 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12815 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12816
12817 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12818 [Ben Laurie]
12819
12820 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12821 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12822 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12823 for linking it into DSOs.
12824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12825
12826 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12827 Fixed.
12828 [Ben Laurie]
12829
12830 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12831 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12832 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12833 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12834 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12835 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12836
12837 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12838 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12839 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12840 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12841 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12842 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12843 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12844
12845 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12846 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12847 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12848 encryption.
12849 [Ben Laurie]
12850
12851 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12852 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12853 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12854 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12855 [Steve Henson]
12856
12857 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12858 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12859 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12860 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12861 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12862 field as blank.
12863 [Steve Henson]
12864
12865 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12866 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12867 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12868 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12870
12871 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12872 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12873 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12874
12875 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12876 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12877
12878 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12879 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12880 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12881 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12882 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12883 [Steve Henson]
12884
12885 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12886 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12887 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12888 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12889 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12890 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12891 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12892 [Ben Laurie]
12893
12894 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12895 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12896 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12897 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12898 [Ben Laurie]
12899
12900 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12901 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12902
12903 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12904 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12905 [Steve Henson]
12906
12907 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12908 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12909 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12910 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12911 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12912 (e.g. s_server).
12913 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12914 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12915 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12916 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12917 no way to reconfigure them.
12918 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12919 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12920 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12921 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12922 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12923 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12924
12925 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12926 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12927 recognized by the users.
12928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12929
12930 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12931 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12932 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12933 already masked variable.
12934 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12935
12936 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12937 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12938
12939 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12940 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12941 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12942 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12943
12944 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12945 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12946 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12947
12948 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12949 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12950 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12951 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12952 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12953 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12954 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12955 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12956 now, too.
12957 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12958
12959 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12960 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12961 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12962
12963 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12964 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12965 config file.
12966 [Steve Henson]
12967
12968 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12969 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12970
12971 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12972 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12973 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12974 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12975 [Ben Laurie]
12976
12977 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12978 [Steve Henson]
12979
12980 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12981 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12982
12983 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12984 [Ben Laurie]
12985
12986 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12987 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12988 [Steve Henson]
12989
12990 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12991 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12992 [Steve Henson]
12993
12994 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12995 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12996 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12997 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12998 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12999 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13000 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13001 Ben Laurie]
13002
13003 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13004 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13005
13006 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13007 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13008 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13009 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13010 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13011
13012 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13013 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13014 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13015 [Steve Henson]
13016
13017 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13018 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13019 an example.
13020 [Steve Henson]
13021
13022 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13023 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13024 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13025
13026 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13027 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13028 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13029 build instructions.
13030 [Steve Henson]
13031
13032 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13033 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13034 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13035 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13036 [Steve Henson]
13037
13038 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13039 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13040 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13041 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13042 [Ben Laurie]
13043
13044 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13045 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13046 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13047 so it wasn't spotted.
13048 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13049
13050 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13051 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13052 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13053 vectors if you have them.
13054 [Ben Laurie]
13055
13056 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13057 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13058 [Ben Laurie]
13059
13060 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13061 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13062 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13063 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13064 If you do a:
13065 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13066 it will update them.
13067 [Steve Henson]
13068
13069 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13070 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13071 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13072 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13073 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13074 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13075 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13076 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13077
13078 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13079 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13080 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13081 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13082 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13083 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13084 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13085 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13086 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13087 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13088
13089 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13090 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13091 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13092 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13093 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13094 [Steve Henson]
13095
13096 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13097 INTEGER code.
13098 [Steve Henson]
13099
13100 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13101 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13102
13103 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13104 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13105
13106 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13107 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13108 [Ben Laurie]
13109
13110 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13111 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13112
13113 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13114 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13115
13116 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13117 [Steve Henson]
13118
13119 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13120 few typos.
13121 [Steve Henson]
13122
13123 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13124 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13125 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13126 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13127
13128 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13129 [Steve Henson]
13130
13131 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13132 [Steve Henson]
13133
13134 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13135 [Steve Henson]
13136
13137 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13138 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13139 [Steve Henson]
13140
13141 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13142 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13143 CA extensions.
13144 [Steve Henson]
13145
13146 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13147 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13148 [Steve Henson]
13149
13150 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13151 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13152 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13153 [Steve Henson]
13154
13155 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13156 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13157 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13158 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13159 properly to be processed.
13160 [Steve Henson]
13161
13162 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13163 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13164 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13165 [Ben Laurie]
13166
13167 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13168 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13169
13170 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13171 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13172 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13173 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13174 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13175 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13176 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13177 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13178 or delete all the .err files.
13179 [Steve Henson]
13180
13181 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13182 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13183 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13184 to regenerate it if needed.
13185 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13186 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13187
13188 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13189 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13190
13191 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13192 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13193 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13194 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13195 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13196 [Steve Henson]
13197
13198 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13199 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13200
13201 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13202 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13203
13204 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13205 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13206 error, but didn't set one).
13207 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13208
13209 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13210 [Ben Laurie]
13211
13212 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13213 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13214 [Steve Henson]
13215
13216 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13217 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13218
13219 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13220 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13221 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13222 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13223 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13224 OID is not part of the table.
13225 [Steve Henson]
13226
13227 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13228 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13229 [Ben Laurie]
13230
13231 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13232 [Ben Laurie]
13233
13234 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13235 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13236 was "1234").
13237 [Steve Henson]
13238
13239 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13240 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13241
13242 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13243 NULL pointers.
13244 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13245
13246 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13247 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13248
13249 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13250 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13251
13252 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13253 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13254
13255 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13256 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13257 [Ben Laurie]
13258
13259 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13260 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13261 [Steve Henson]
13262
13263 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13264 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13265
13266 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13267 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13268
13269 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13270 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13271
13272 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13273 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13274
13275 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13276 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13277 unused in the certificate verification process.
13278 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13279
13280 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13281 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13282 [Steve Henson]
13283
13284 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13285 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13286 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13287
13288 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13289 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13290 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13291 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13292 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13293
13294 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13295 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13296 [Steve Henson]
13297
13298 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13299 [Steve Henson]
13300
13301 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13302 [Paul Sutton]
13303
13304 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13305 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13306
13307 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13308 [Ben Laurie]
13309
13310 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13311 [Ben Laurie]
13312
13313 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13314 [Ben Laurie]
13315
13316 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13317 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13318 other error libraries.
13319 [Steve Henson]
13320
13321 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13322 [Steve Henson]
13323
13324 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13325 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13326 be read in.
13327 [Steve Henson]
13328
13329 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13330 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13331 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13332 the new set of documentation files.
13333 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13334
13335 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13336 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13337 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13338 number of arguments.
13339 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13340
13341 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13342 [Ben Laurie]
13343
13344 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13345 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13346 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13347
13348 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13349 [Ben Laurie]
13350
13351 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13352 nextstep
13353 ncr-scde
13354 unixware-2.0
13355 unixware-2.0-pentium
13356 sco5-cc.
13357 [Ben Laurie]
13358
13359 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13360 before they are needed.
13361 [Ben Laurie]
13362
13363 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13364 [Ben Laurie]
13365
13366
13367 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13368
13369 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13370 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13371 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13372
13373 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13374 [Paul Sutton]
13375
13376 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13377 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13378 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13379
13380 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13381 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13382 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13383
13384 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13385 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13386 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13387
13388 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13389 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13390
13391 *) Updated the README file.
13392 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13393
13394 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13395 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13397
13398 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13399 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13400 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13401
13402 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13403 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE

13415 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13416 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13417
13418 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13419 [Mark J. Cox]
13420
13421 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13422 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13423 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13424 summer 1998.

13438 [Eric A. Young]
13439
13440 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:

13442 available).
13443 [Eric A. Young]
13444

13502 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13503 [Eric A. Young]
13504
13505 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13506 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13507 [Eric A. Young]
