10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
13 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
14 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
15 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
16 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
17 BIO_snprintf().
18 [Richard Levitte]
19
20 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
21 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
22 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
23 [Richard Levitte]
24
25 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
26 [Bernd Edlinger]
27
28 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
29 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
30 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
31 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
32 [Bernd Edlinger]
33
34 *) Added a new FUNCerr() macro that takes a function name.
35 The macro SYSerr() is deprecated.
36 [Rich Salz]
37
38 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
39 [Paul Dale]
40
41 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
42 deprecated.
43 [Rich Salz]
44
45 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
46 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
47 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
48 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
49 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
50 functions for further details.
51 [Matt Caswell]
52
53 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
54 [Matt Caswell]
55
56 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
57 xxx_F_xxx define's.
58
59 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
60 [Rich Salz]
61
62 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
63 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
64 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
65 variables, only functions.
66 [Rich Salz]
67
68 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
69 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
70 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
71 would crash.
72 [Matt Caswell]
73
74 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
75 [Paul Yang]
76
77 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
78 [Tomas Mraz]
79
80 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
81 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
82 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
83 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
84 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
85 To enable or disable these checks use the control
86 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
87 [Shane Lontis]
88
89 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
90 #defines are deprecated.
91 [Todd Short]
92
93 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
94 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
95 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
96 [Kenji Mouri]
97
98 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
99 [Richard Levitte]
100
101 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
102 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
103 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
104 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
105 [Kurt Roeckx]
106
107 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
108 [Shane Lontis]
109
110 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
111 [Shane Lontis]
112
113 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
114 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
115 for scripting purposes.
116 [Richard Levitte]
117
118 *) The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
119 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
120 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
121 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
122 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
123 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
124 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
125 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
126 should not use these modes.
127 [Matt Caswell]
128
129 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
130 [Paul Dale]
131
132 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
133 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
134 [Paul Dale]
135
136 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
137 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
138 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
139 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
140
141 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
142 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
143 The configuration option is now deprecated.
144 [Richard Levitte]
145
146 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
147 digest name in its output.
148 [Richard Levitte]
149
150 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
151 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
152 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
153 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
154
155 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
156 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
157 categories.
158
159 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
160 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
161 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
162 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
163
164 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
165 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
166 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
167
168 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
169 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
170 [Richard Levitte]
171
172 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
173 [Shane Lontis]
174
175 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
176 [Shane Lontis]
177
178 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
179 the core.
180 [Paul Dale]
181
182 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
183 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
184 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
185 to affine coordinates.
186 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
187
188 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
189 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
190 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
191 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
192 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
193 [David Makepeace]
194
195 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
196 [Eneas U de Queiroz]
197
198 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
199 [Antoine Salon]
200
201 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
202 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
203 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
204 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
205 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
206 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
207
208 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
209 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
210 [Bernd Edlinger]
211
212 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
213 [Richard Levitte]
214
215 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
216 [Richard Levitte]
217
218 *) Change the possible version information given with OPENSSL_API_COMPAT.
219 It may be a pre-3.0.0 style numerical version number as it was defined
220 in 1.1.0, and it may also simply take the major version number.
221
222 Because of the version numbering of pre-3.0.0 releases, the values 0,
223 1 and 2 are equivalent to 0x00908000L (0.9.8), 0x10000000L (1.0.0) and
224 0x10100000L (1.1.0), respectively.
225 [Richard Levitte]
226
227 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
228
229 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
230 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
231 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
232 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
233 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
234 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
235 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
236 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
237 [Richard Levitte]
238
239 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
240 [Todd Short]
241
242 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
243 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
244 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
245 [Richard Levitte]
246
247 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
248 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
249 [Richard Levitte]
250
251 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
252 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
253 look into.
254 [Richard Levitte]
255
256 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
257 [Paul Dale]
258
259 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
260 [Richard Levitte]
261
262 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
263 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
264 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
265 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
266 [Richard Levitte]
267
268 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
269 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
270 [Antoine Salon]
271
272 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
273 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
274 are retained for backwards compatibility.
275 [Antoine Salon]
276
277 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
278 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
279 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
280 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
281 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
282 [Paul Dale]
283
284 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
285 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
286 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
287 [Richard Levitte]
288
289 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
290 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
291 [Richard Levitte]
292
293 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
294 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
295 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
296 [Boris Pismenny]
297
298 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
299
300 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
301 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
302 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
303 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
304 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
305 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
306 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
307 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
308 applications.
309 [Matt Caswell]
310
311 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
312
313 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
314
315 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
316 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
317 algorithm to recover the private key.
318
319 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
320 (CVE-2018-0734)
321 [Paul Dale]
322
323 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
324
325 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
326 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
327 algorithm to recover the private key.
328
329 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
330 (CVE-2018-0735)
331 [Paul Dale]
332
333 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
334 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
335 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
336
337 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
338 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
339 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
340 provided by the application.
341
342 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
343
344 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
345 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
346 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
347 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
348 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
349 of the ClientHello
350 [Benjamin Kaduk]
351
352 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
353 [Jack Lloyd]
354
355 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
356 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
357 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
358 [Patrick Steuer]
359
360 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
361 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
362 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
363 [Richard Levitte]
364
365 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
366 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
367 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
368 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
369 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
370 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
371 to work in projective coordinates.
372 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
373
374 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
375 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
376 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
377 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
378 to 2^-128.
379 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
380
381 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
382 [Kurt Roeckx]
383
384 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
385 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
386 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
387 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
388 [Richard Levitte]
389
390 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
391 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
392 [Andy Polyakov]
393
394 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
395 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
396 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
397 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
398 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
399
400 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
401 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
402 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
403 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
404 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
405 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
406
407 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
408 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
409 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
410 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
411 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
412 [Paul Dale]
413
414 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
415 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
416 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
417 authors.
418 [Matt Caswell]
419
420 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
421 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
422 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
423 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
424 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
425 multi-version installation is managed.
426 [Andy Polyakov]
427
428 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
429 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
430 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
431 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
432 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
433 [Billy Bob Brumley]
434
435 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
436 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
437 chosen point SCA attacks.
438 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
439
440 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
441 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
442 [Matt Caswell]
443
444 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
445 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
446 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
447 [Matt Caswell]
448
449 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
450 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
451 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
452 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
453 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
454 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
455 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
456 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
457 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
458 [Kurt Roeckx]
459
460 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
461 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
462 [Richard Levitte]
463
464 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
465 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
466 [Billy Bob Brumley]
467
468 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
469 binary and prime elliptic curves.
470 [Billy Bob Brumley]
471
472 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
473 constant time fixed point multiplication.
474 [Billy Bob Brumley]
475
476 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
477 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
478 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
479 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
480 ECDH derive operations).
481 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
482 Sohaib ul Hassan]
483
484 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
485 [Rich Salz]
486
487 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
488 randomness from the system.
489 [Matthias St. Pierre]
490
491 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
492 [Richard Levitte]
493
494 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
495 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
496 [Matt Caswell]
497
498 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
499 [Matt Caswell]
500
501 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
502 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
503
504 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
505 [Richard Levitte]
506
507 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
508 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
509 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
510 [Matt Caswell]
511
512 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
513 stack.
514 [Rich Salz]
515
516 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
517 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
518 [Bernd Edlinger]
519
520 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
521 [Matt Caswell]
522
523 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
524 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
525 [Matthias St. Pierre]
526
527 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
528 for the license change).
529 [Rich Salz]
530
531 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
532 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
533 [Matt Caswell]
534
535 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
536 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
537 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
538 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
539 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
540 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
541 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
542 [Matt Caswell]
543
544 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
545 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
546 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
547 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
548 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
549 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
550 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
551 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
552 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
553 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
554 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
555 written to stderr.
556 [Viktor Dukhovni]
557
558 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
559 Mike Hamburg.
560 [Matt Caswell]
561
562 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
563 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
564 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
565 get the search data out of them.
566 [Richard Levitte]
567
568 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
569 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
570 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
571 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
572 [Matt Caswell]
573
574 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
575
576 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
577 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
578 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
579 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
580 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
581 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
582
583 Some of its new features are:
584 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
585 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
586 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
587 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
588 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
589 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
590 operation
591 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
592
593 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
594 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
595 to display all sorts of configuration data.
596 [Richard Levitte]
597
598 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
599 [Richard Levitte]
600
601 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
602 [Paul Dale]
603
604 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
605 now been removed.
606 [Rich Salz]
607
608 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
609 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
610 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
611 debug (or make silent).
612 [Richard Levitte]
613
614 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
615 arguments to config / Configure.
616 [Richard Levitte]
617
618 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
619 [Paul Yang]
620
621 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
622 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
623 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
624 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
625
626 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
627 as documented in RFC6066.
628 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
629 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
630
631 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
632 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
633 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
634 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
635
636 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
637 original author does not agree with the license change.
638 [Rich Salz]
639
640 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
641 [Jon Spillett]
642
643 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
644 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
645 [Rich Salz]
646
647 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
648 without clearing the errors.
649 [Richard Levitte]
650
651 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
652 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
653 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
654 [Rich Salz]
655
656 *) Add SHA3.
657 [Andy Polyakov]
658
659 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
660 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
661 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
662 as a fallback).
663
664 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
665 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
666 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
667 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
668 [Richard Levitte]
669
670 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
671 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
672 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
673 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
674 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
675 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
676 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
677 [Richard Levitte]
678
679 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
680 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
681 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
682 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
683 [Richard Levitte]
684
685 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
686 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
687 error code calls like this:
688
689 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
690
691 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
692 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
693 affect new modules.
694 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
695
696 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
697 [Rich Salz]
698
699 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
700 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
701 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
702 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
703 [Richard Levitte]
704
705 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
706 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
707 than just the call where this user data is passed.
708 [Richard Levitte]
709
710 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
711 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
712 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
713
714 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
715 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
716 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
717 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
718 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
719 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
720 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
721 issues.
722 [Matt Caswell]
723
724 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
725 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
726 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
727 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
728 [Richard Levitte]
729
730 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
731 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
732 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
733
734 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
735 does for RSA, etc.
736 [Richard Levitte]
737
738 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
739 platform rather than 'mingw'.
740 [Richard Levitte]
741
742 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
743 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
744 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
745 certificates and CRLs.
746 [Paul Dale]
747
748 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
749 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
750 [Andy Polyakov]
751
752 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
753 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
754 [Richard Levitte]
755
756 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
757 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
758 which is the minimum version we support.
759 [Richard Levitte]
760
761 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
762 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
763 are no longer allowed.
764 [Emilia Käsper]
765
766 *) Add support for ARIA
767 [Paul Dale]
768
769 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
770 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
771 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
772 using "-servername".
773 [Matt Caswell]
774
775 *) Add support for SipHash
776 [Todd Short]
777
778 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
779 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
780 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
781 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
782 [Matt Caswell]
783
784 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
785 using the algorithm defined in
786 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
787 [Richard Levitte]
788
789 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
790 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
791
792 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
793 [Emilia Käsper]
794
795 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
796 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
797 [Rich Salz]
798
799
800 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
801
802 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
803
804 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
805 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
806 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
807 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
808 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
809
810 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
811 (CVE-2018-0732)
812 [Guido Vranken]
813
814 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
815
816 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
817 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
818 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
819 recover the private key.
820
821 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
822 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
823 (CVE-2018-0737)
824 [Billy Brumley]
825
826 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
827 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
828 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
829 [Richard Levitte]
830
831 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
832 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
833 [Andy Polyakov]
834
835 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
836 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
837 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
838 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
839 to 2^-128.
840 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
841
842 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
843 [Kurt Roeckx]
844
845 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
846 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
847 [Matt Caswell]
848
849 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
850 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
851 [Richard Levitte]
852
853 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
854 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
855 are no longer allowed.
856 [Emilia Käsper]
857
858 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
859
860 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
861 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
862 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
863 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
864 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
865 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
866 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
867 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
868 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
869 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
870 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
871 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
872 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
873 [Matt Caswell]
874
875 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
876
877 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
878
879 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
880 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
881 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
882 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
883 so this is considered safe.
884
885 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
886 project.
887 (CVE-2018-0739)
888 [Matt Caswell]
889
890 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
891
892 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
893 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
894 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
895 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
896 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
897 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
898
899 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
900 (IBM).
901 (CVE-2018-0733)
902 [Andy Polyakov]
903
904 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
905 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
906 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
907 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
908 [Richard Levitte]
909
910 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
911
912 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
913 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
914 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
915 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
916 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
917
918 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
919 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
920 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
921 [Matt Caswell]
922
923 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
924 exist.
925 [Rich Salz]
926
927 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
928
929 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
930 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
931 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
932 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
933 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
934 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
935 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
936 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
937 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
938 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
939
940 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
941 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
942
943 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
944 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
945 (CVE-2017-3738)
946 [Andy Polyakov]
947
948 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
949
950 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
951
952 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
953 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
954 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
955 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
956 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
957 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
958 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
959 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
960 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
961 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
962 key that is shared between multiple clients.
963
964 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
965 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
966
967 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
968 (CVE-2017-3736)
969 [Andy Polyakov]
970
971 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
972
973 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
974 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
975 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
976
977 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
978 (CVE-2017-3735)
979 [Rich Salz]
980
981 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
982
983 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
984 platform rather than 'mingw'.
985 [Richard Levitte]
986
987 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
988 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
989 which is the minimum version we support.
990 [Richard Levitte]
991
992 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
993
994 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
995
996 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
997 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
998 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
999 and servers are affected.
1000
1001 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1002 (CVE-2017-3733)
1003 [Matt Caswell]
1004
1005 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1006
1007 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1008
1009 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1010 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1011 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1012
1013 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1014 (CVE-2017-3731)
1015 [Andy Polyakov]
1016
1017 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1018
1019 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1020 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1021 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1022 of Service attack.
1023
1024 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1025 (CVE-2017-3730)
1026 [Matt Caswell]
1027
1028 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1029
1030 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1031 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1032 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1033 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1034 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1035 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1036 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1037 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1038 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1039 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1040 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1041 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1042 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1043
1044 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

1046 [Andy Polyakov]
1047
1048 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1049
1050 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1051
1052 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1053 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1054 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1055
1056 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1057 (CVE-2016-7054)
1058 [Richard Levitte]
1059
1060 *) CMS Null dereference
1061
1062 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1063 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1064 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1065 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1066 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1067 affected.
1068
1069 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1070 (CVE-2016-7053)
1071 [Stephen Henson]
1072
1073 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1074
1075 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1076 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1077 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1078 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1079 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1080 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1081 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1082 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1083 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1084 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1085 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1086 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1087 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1088 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1089
1090 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1091 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1092 providing reproducible case.
1093 (CVE-2016-7055)
1094 [Andy Polyakov]
1095
1096 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1097 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1098 [Richard Levitte]
1099
1100 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1101
1102 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1103
1104 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1105 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1106 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1107 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1108 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1109 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1110
1111 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
1112
1113 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
1114 (CVE-2016-6309)
1115 [Matt Caswell]
1116
1117 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1118
1119 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1120
1121 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1122 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1123 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1124 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1125 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1126 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1127 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
1128
1129 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1130 (CVE-2016-6304)
1131 [Matt Caswell]
1132
1133 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1134
1135 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1136 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1137 Denial Of Service attack.
1138
1139 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1140 (CVE-2016-6305)
1141 [Matt Caswell]
1142
1143 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1144 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1145
1146 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1147 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1148 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1149 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1150 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1151 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1152 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1153 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1154 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1155 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1156 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1157 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1158 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1159 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1160 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1161
1162 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1163 that the connection fails
1164 or
1165 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1166 very little free memory
1167 or
1168 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1169 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1170 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1171 memory to service the multiple requests.
1172
1173 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1174 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1175 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1176 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1177 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
1178
1179 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1180 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1181 [Matt Caswell]
1182
1183 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1184 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1185 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1186 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1187 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1188 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1189 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1190 [Andy Polyakov]
1191
1192 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1193
1194 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1195 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1196 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1197 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1198 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1199 non-ASCII password.
1200 [Andy Polyakov]
1201
1202 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1203 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1204 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1205 [Rich Salz]
1206
1207 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1208 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1209 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1210 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1211 [Matt Caswell]
1212
1213 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1214 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1215 success.
1216 [Matt Caswell]
1217
1218 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1219 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1220 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1221 no-ops and deprecated.
1222 [Matt Caswell]
1223
1224 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1225 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1226 were also closed.
1227 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1228
1229 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1230 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1231 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1232 [Rich Salz]
1233
1234 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1235 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1236 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1237 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1238 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1239 and the validity of object reference counter.
1240 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1241
1242 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1243 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1244 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1245 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1246 [Richard Levitte]
1247
1248 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1249 [Richard Levitte]
1250
1251 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1252 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1253 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1254 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1255
1256 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1257
1258 [Richard Levitte]
1259
1260 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1261 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1262 [Steve Henson]
1263
1264 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1265 [Andy Polyakov]
1266
1267 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1268 [Rich Salz]
1269
1270 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1271 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1272 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1273 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1274 name and is used as is.
1275 [Richard Levitte]
1276
1277 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1278 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1279 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1280 [Rich Salz]
1281
1282 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1283 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1284 [Matt Caswell]
1285
1286 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1287 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1288 algorithms.
1289 [Matt Caswell]
1290
1291 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1292 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1293 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1294 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1295 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1296 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1297 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1298 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1299 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1300 [Matt Caswell]
1301
1302 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1303 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1304 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1305 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1306
1307 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1308 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1309 these have been added.
1310 [Matt Caswell]
1311
1312 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1313 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1314 functions for managing these have been added.
1315 [Richard Levitte]
1316
1317 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1318 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1319 these have been added.
1320 [Matt Caswell]
1321
1322 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1323 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1324 have been added.
1325 [Matt Caswell]
1326
1327 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1328 [Matt Caswell]
1329
1330 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1331 [Richard Levitte]
1332
1333 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1334 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1335 [Rich Salz]
1336
1337 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1338 [Richard Levitte]
1339
1340 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1341 [Rich Salz]
1342
1343 *) Add support for HKDF.
1344 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1345
1346 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1347 [Bill Cox]
1348
1349 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1350 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1351 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1352 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1353 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1354 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1355 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1356 [Matt Caswell]
1357
1358 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1359 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1360 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1361 [Catriona Lucey]
1362
1363 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1364 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1365 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1366 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1367 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1368 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1369 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1370
1371 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1372 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1373 [Todd Short]
1374
1375 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1376 [Todd Short]
1377
1378 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1379 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1380 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1381 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1382 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1383 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1384 default cipherlist.
1385 [Emilia Käsper]
1386
1387 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1388 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1389 [Rich Salz]
1390
1391 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1392 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1393 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1394 [Matt Caswell]
1395
1396 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1397 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1398 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1399 implemented by other servers.
1400 [Emilia Käsper]
1401
1402 *) Add X25519 support.
1403 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1404 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1405 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1406 key generation and key derivation.
1407
1408 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1409 X25519(29).
1410 [Steve Henson]
1411
1412 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1413 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1414 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1415 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1416 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1417
1418 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1419 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1420 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1421 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1422 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1423 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1424 that of a valid user.
1425 [Emilia Käsper]
1426
1427 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1428 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1429 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1430 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1431
1432 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1433 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1434
1435 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1436 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1437 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1438 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1439
1440 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1441 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1442 irrelevant.
1443 [Richard Levitte]
1444
1445 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1446 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1447 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1448 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1449 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1450 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1451
1452 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1453 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1454 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1455 [Richard Levitte]
1456
1457 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1458 [Rich Salz]
1459
1460 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1461 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1462 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1463 removed.
1464 [Richard Levitte]
1465
1466 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1467 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1468 old #define's might need to be updated.
1469 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1470
1471 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1472 [Rich Salz]
1473
1474 *) New "unified" build system
1475
1476 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1477 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1478
1479 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1480 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1481 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1482
1483 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1484 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1485 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1486 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1487 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1488
1489 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1490 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1491 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1492 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1493 libraries" in INSTALL.
1494
1495 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1496 [Richard Levitte]
1497
1498 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1499 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1500 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1501 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1502 [Matt Caswell]
1503
1504 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1505 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1506
1507 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1508 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1509 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1510 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1511 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1512 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1513 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1514 have been adapted accordingly.
1515 [Richard Levitte]
1516
1517 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1518 the leading 0-byte.
1519 [Emilia Käsper]
1520
1521 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1522 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1523 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1524 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1525 [Emilia Käsper]
1526
1527 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1528 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1529 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1530 'unsigned char*'.
1531 [Emilia Käsper]
1532
1533 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1534 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1535 [Emilia Käsper]
1536
1537 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1538 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1539 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1540 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1541 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1542 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1543 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1544
1545 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1546 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1547
1548 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1549 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1550 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1551 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1552 Text::Template.
1553
1554 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1555 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1556 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1557 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1558 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1559 %target).
1560 [Richard Levitte]
1561
1562 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1563 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1564 straightforward and less interdependent.
1565
1566 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1567 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1568 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1569
1570 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1571 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1572 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1573 installed.
1574 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1575 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1576 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1577 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1578
1579 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1580 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1581 [Richard Levitte]
1582
1583 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1584 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1585 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1586 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1587 is present).
1588 [Matt Caswell]
1589
1590 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1591 configuring.
1592 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1593
1594 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1595 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1596 before trying to build now.*
1597 [Rich Salz]
1598
1599 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1600 has changed.
1601 [Rich Salz]
1602
1603 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1604
1605 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1606 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1607 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1608 used to authenticate the peer.
1609
1610 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1611 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1612 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1613 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1614 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1615 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1616
1617 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1618 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1619 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1620 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1621 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1622 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1623
1624 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1625 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1626 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1627 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1628 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1629 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1630 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1631 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1632 version.
1633
1634 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1635 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1636 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1637 compile with later releases.
1638
1639 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1640 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1641 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1642 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1643 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1644 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1645
1646 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1647 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1648 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1649 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1650 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1651 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1652 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1653 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1654 [Kurt Roeckx]
1655
1656 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1657 [Andy Polyakov]
1658
1659 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1660 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1661 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1662 ECDSA_SIG format.
1663
1664 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1665 include the ec.h header file instead.
1666 [Steve Henson]
1667
1668 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1669 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1670 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1671 [Kurt Roeckx]
1672
1673 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1674 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1675 were added:
1676
1677 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1678 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1679
1680 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1681 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1682 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1683
1684 Additional changes:
1685 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1686 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1687 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1688 an already created structure.
1689 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1690 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1691 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1692 for deprecated builds.
1693 [Richard Levitte]
1694
1695 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1696 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1697 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1698 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1699 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1700 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1701 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1702 [Matt Caswell]
1703
1704 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1705 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1706 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1707 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1708 [Kurt Roeckx]
1709
1710 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1711 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1712 [Kurt Roeckx]
1713
1714 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1715 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1716 [Kurt Roeckx]
1717
1718 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1719 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1720 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1721 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1722 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1723 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1724 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1725 also been removed.
1726 [Matt Caswell]
1727
1728 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1729 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1730 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1731 [Rich Salz]
1732
1733 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1734 [Rich Salz]
1735
1736 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1737 sureware and ubsec.
1738 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1739
1740 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1741
1742 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1743 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1744
1745 FOO *x;
1746
1747 it must be:
1748
1749 FOO x;
1750
1751 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1752 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1753
1754 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1755 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1756 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1757 SEQUENCE OF.
1758 [Steve Henson]
1759
1760 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1761 [Emilia Käsper]
1762
1763 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1764 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1765 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1766 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1767 [Matt Caswell]
1768
1769 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1770 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1771 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1772 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1773 [Emilia Käsper]
1774
1775 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1776 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1777 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1778
1779 *) New testing framework
1780 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1781 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1782 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1783 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1784 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1785 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1786
1787 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1788
1789 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1790 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1791
1792 [Richard Levitte]
1793
1794 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1795 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1796 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1797 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1798 [Rich Salz]
1799
1800 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1801 return an error
1802 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1803
1804 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1805 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1806
1807 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1808 original RSA_PSK patch.
1809 [Steve Henson]
1810
1811 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1812 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1813 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1814 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1815 [Matt Caswell]
1816
1817 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1818 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1819 [Richard Levitte]
1820
1821 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1822 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1823 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1824 [Emilia Käsper]
1825
1826 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1827 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1828 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1829 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1830 transferred.
1831 [Matt Caswell]
1832
1833 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1834 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1835 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1836 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1837 [Matt Caswell]
1838
1839 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1840 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1841 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1842 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1843 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1844 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1845 [Matt Caswell]
1846
1847 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1848 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1849 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1850 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1851 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1852 header file has been removed.
1853 [Matt Caswell]
1854
1855 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1856 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1857 [Matt Caswell]
1858
1859 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1860 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1861 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1862
1863 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1864 Added a test.
1865 [Rich Salz]
1866
1867 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1868 [Rich Salz]
1869
1870 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1871 sha256
1872 [Rich Salz]
1873
1874 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1875 [Matt Caswell]
1876
1877 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1878 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1879 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1880 [Steve Henson]
1881
1882 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1883 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1884 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1885 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1886 [Matt Caswell]
1887
1888 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1889 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1890 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1891 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1892 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1893 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1894 [Matt Caswell]
1895
1896 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1897 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1898 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1899 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1900 [Matt Caswell]
1901
1902 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1903 compatible client hello.
1904 [Kurt Roeckx]
1905
1906 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1907 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1908 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1909
1910 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1911 [Rich Salz]
1912
1913 *) Removed old DES API.
1914 [Rich Salz]
1915
1916 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1917 Sony NEWS4
1918 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1919 NeXT
1920 SUNOS
1921 MPE/iX
1922 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1923 DGUX
1924 NCR
1925 Tandem
1926 Cray
1927 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1928 [Rich Salz]
1929
1930 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1931 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1932 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1933 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1934 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1935 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1936 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1937 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1938 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1939 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1940 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1941 [Rich Salz]
1942
1943 *) Cleaned up dead code
1944 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1945 [Rich Salz]
1946
1947 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1948 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1949 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1950 [Rich Salz]
1951
1952 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1953 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1954 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1955 [Rich Salz]
1956
1957 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1958 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1959 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1960
1961 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1962 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1963 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1964
1965 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1966 compilation flags.
1967 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1968
1969 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1970 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1971 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1972
1973 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1974 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1975
1976 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1977 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1978 server.
1979
1980 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1981 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1982 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1983 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1984
1985 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1986 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1987 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1988 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1989
1990 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1991 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1992 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1993
1994 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1995 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1996 [Steve Henson]
1997
1998 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1999
2000 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2001 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2002
2003 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2004 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2005
2006 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2007 effect.
2008
2009 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2010
2011 [Steve Henson]
2012
2013 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2014 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2015 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2016 algorithms and include tests cases.
2017 [Steve Henson]
2018
2019 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2020 enveloped data.
2021 [Steve Henson]
2022
2023 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2024 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2025 [Steve Henson]
2026
2027 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2028 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2029
2030 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2031 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2032 [Steve Henson]
2033
2034 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2035 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2036 failures.
2037 [Steve Henson]
2038
2039 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2040 sign or verify all in one operation.
2041 [Steve Henson]
2042
2043 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2044 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2045 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2046 [Steve Henson]
2047
2048 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2049 [Steve Henson]
2050
2051 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2052 [Steve Henson]
2053
2054 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2055 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2056 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2057 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2058 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2059 [Steve Henson]
2060
2061 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2062 based on NID.
2063 [Steve Henson]
2064
2065 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2066 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2067 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2068 [Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2071 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2072
2073 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2074 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2075 [Steve Henson]
2076
2077 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2078 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2079 [Steve Henson]
2080
2081 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2082 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2083 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2084 [Steve Henson]
2085
2086 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2087 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2088 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2089 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2090 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2091 requested amount of entropy.
2092 [Steve Henson]
2093
2094 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2095 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2096 [Steve Henson]
2097
2098 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2099 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2100 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2101 support.
2102 [Steve Henson]
2103
2104 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2105 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2106 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2107 [Steve Henson]
2108
2109 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2110 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2111 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2112 will never use XTS mode.
2113 [Steve Henson]
2114
2115 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2116 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2117 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2118 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2119 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2120 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2121 [Steve Henson]
2122
2123 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2124 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2125 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2126 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2127 [Steve Henson]
2128
2129 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2130 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2131 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2132 [Steve Henson]
2133
2134 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2135 [Steve Henson]
2136
2137 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2138 [Steve Henson]
2139
2140 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2141 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2142 [Steve Henson]
2143
2144 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2145 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2146 [Steve Henson]
2147
2148 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2149 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2150 [Steve Henson]
2151
2152 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2153 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2154 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2155 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2156 and rename any affected symbols.
2157 [Steve Henson]
2158
2159 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2160 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2161 [Steve Henson]
2162
2163 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2164 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2165 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2166 [Steve Henson]
2167
2168 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2169 [Steve Henson]
2170
2171 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2172 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2173 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2174 [Steve Henson]
2175
2176 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2177 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2178 [Steve Henson]
2179
2180 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2181 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2182 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2183 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2184 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2185 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2186 set before the key.
2187 [Steve Henson]
2188
2189 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2190 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2191 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2192 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2193 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2194 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2195 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2196 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2197 [Steve Henson]
2198
2199 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2200 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2201 [Steve Henson]
2202
2203 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2204
2205 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2206 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2207
2208 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2209 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2210 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2211 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2212 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2213 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2214
2215 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2216 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2217 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2218 security.
2219 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2220
2221 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2222 parameters by name.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2226 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2227 [Steve Henson]
2228
2229 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2230 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2231 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2232 [Steve Henson]
2233
2234 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2235 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2236 multi-process servers.
2237 [Steve Henson]
2238
2239 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2240 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2241 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2242 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2243 RAND_METHOD structure.
2244 [Steve Henson]
2245
2246 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2247 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2248 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2249 whose return value is often ignored.
2250 [Steve Henson]
2251
2252 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2253 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2254 validated when establishing a connection.
2255 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]

2257 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2258
2259 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2260
2261 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2262 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2263 AES-NI.
2264
2265 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2266 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2267 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2268 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2269 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2270 bytes.
2271
2272 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2273 (CVE-2016-2107)
2274 [Kurt Roeckx]
2275
2276 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2277
2278 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2279 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2280 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2281 corruption.
2282
2283 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2284 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2285 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2286 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2287 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2288 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2289
2290 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2291 (CVE-2016-2105)
2292 [Matt Caswell]
2293
2294 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2295
2296 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2297 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2298 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2299 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2300 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2301 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2302 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2303 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2304 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2305 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2306 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2307 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2308 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2309 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2310 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2311 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2312
2313 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2314 (CVE-2016-2106)
2315 [Matt Caswell]
2316
2317 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2318
2319 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2320 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2321 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2322
2323 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2324 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2325 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2326 applications are not affected.
2327
2328 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2329 (CVE-2016-2109)
2330 [Stephen Henson]
2331
2332 *) EBCDIC overread
2333
2334 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2335 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2336 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2337
2338 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2339 (CVE-2016-2176)
2340 [Matt Caswell]
2341
2342 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2343 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2344 [Todd Short]
2345
2346 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2347 default.
2348 [Kurt Roeckx]
2349
2350 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2351 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2352 [Kurt Roeckx]
2353
2354 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2355
2356 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2357 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2358 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2359 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2360
2361 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2362 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2363 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2364 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2365 will need to explicitly call either of:
2366
2367 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2368 or
2369 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2370
2371 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2372 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2373 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2374 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2375 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2376 (CVE-2016-0800)
2377 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2378
2379 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2380
2381 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2382 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2383 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2384 considered rare.
2385
2386 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2387 libFuzzer.
2388 (CVE-2016-0705)
2389 [Stephen Henson]
2390
2391 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2392
2393 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2394
2395 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2396 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2397 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2398 is configured.
2399
2400 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2401 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2402 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2403 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2404 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2405 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2406 that of a valid user.
2407 (CVE-2016-0798)
2408 [Emilia Käsper]
2409
2410 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2411
2412 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2413 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2414 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2415 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2416 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2417 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2418 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2419 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2420 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2421 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2422 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2423
2424 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2425 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2426 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2427 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2428 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2429
2430 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2431 (CVE-2016-0797)
2432 [Matt Caswell]
2433
2434 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2435
2436 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2437 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2438 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2439
2440 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2441 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2442 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2443 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2444 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2445 also occur.
2446
2447 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2448 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2449 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2450 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2451 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2452 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2453 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2454 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2455 as command line arguments.
2456
2457 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2458 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2459 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

2463 [Matt Caswell]
2464
2465 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2466
2467 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2468 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2469 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2470 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2471 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2472
2473 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2474 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2475 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2476 http://cachebleed.info.

2480 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2481 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2482 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2483 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2486 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2487 *) DH small subgroups
2488
2489 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2490 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2491 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2492 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2493 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2494 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2495 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2496 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2497 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2498 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2499
2500 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2501 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2502 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2503 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2504 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2505
2506 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2507 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2508 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2509 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2510
2511 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2512 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2513
2514 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2515 (CVE-2016-0701)
2516 [Matt Caswell]
2517
2518 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2519
2520 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2521 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2522 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2523 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
2524
2525 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
2526 and Sebastian Schinzel.

2530 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
2531
2532 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2533
2534 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2535 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2536 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2537 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2538 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2539 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2540 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2541 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2542 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2543 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2544 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2545 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2548 (CVE-2015-3193)
2549 [Andy Polyakov]
2550
2551 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2552
2553 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2554 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2555 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2556 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2557 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2558 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2559 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2560 authentication.
2561
2562 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
2563 (CVE-2015-3194)
2564 [Stephen Henson]
2565
2566 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2567
2568 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2569 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2570 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2571 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2572
2573 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2574 libFuzzer.
2575 (CVE-2015-3195)
2576 [Stephen Henson]
2577
2578 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2579 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2580 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2581 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

2587
2588 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
2589
2590 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2591
2592 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2593 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2594 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2595 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2596 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2597 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2598
2599 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2600 (Google/BoringSSL).

2610 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2611
2612 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2613
2614 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2615 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2616 field.
2617
2618 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2619 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2620 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2621 client authentication enabled.
2622
2623 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2624 (CVE-2015-1788)
2625 [Andy Polyakov]
2626
2627 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2628
2629 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2630 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2631 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2632 time string.
2633
2634 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2635 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2636 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2637 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2638 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2639 callbacks.
2640
2641 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2642 independently by Hanno Böck.
2643 (CVE-2015-1789)

2645
2646 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2647
2648 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2649 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2650 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2651
2652 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2653 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2654 servers are not affected.

2658 [Emilia Käsper]
2659
2660 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2661
2662 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2663 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2664 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2665 the CMS code.

2684
2685 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2686
2687 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2688 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2689 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2690
2691 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2692 University.
2693 (CVE-2015-0291)
2694 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2695
2696 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2697
2698 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2699 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2700 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2701 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2702 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2703 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2704 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2705 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2706
2707 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2708 (CVE-2015-0290)
2709 [Matt Caswell]
2710
2711 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2712
2713 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2714 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2715 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2716 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2717 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2718 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2719 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2720 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2721 server.
2722
2723 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2724 (CVE-2015-0207)
2725 [Matt Caswell]
2726
2727 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2728
2729 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2730 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2731 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2732 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2733 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2734 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2735 (CVE-2015-0286)
2736 [Stephen Henson]
2737
2738 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2739
2740 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2741 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2742 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2743 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2744 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2745 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2746 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

2748 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2749 (CVE-2015-0208)
2750 [Stephen Henson]
2751
2752 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2753
2754 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2755 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2756 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2757
2758 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2759 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2760 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2761 not affected.
2762 (CVE-2015-0287)
2763 [Stephen Henson]
2764
2765 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2766
2767 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2768 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2769 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2770
2771 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2772 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2773 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2774
2775 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).

2777 [Emilia Käsper]
2778
2779 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2780
2781 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2782 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2783 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2784
2785 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2786 (OpenSSL development team).
2787 (CVE-2015-0293)
2788 [Emilia Käsper]
2789
2790 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2791
2792 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2793 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2794 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2795 (CVE-2015-1787)
2796 [Matt Caswell]
2797
2798 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2799
2800 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2801 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2802 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2803 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2804 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2805 SSL_client_methodv23)
2806 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2807 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2808
2809 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2810 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2811 output may be predictable.
2812
2813 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2814 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2815
2816 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2817 (CVE-2015-0285)
2818 [Matt Caswell]
2819
2820 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2821
2822 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2823 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2824 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2825 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2826 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2827 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2828
2829 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2830 commit 517073cd4b.

2835
2836 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2837 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.

2846 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2847
2848 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2849 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2850 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2851 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2852 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2853 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2854 [Andy Polyakov]
2855

2860 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2861 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2862 [Rob Stradling]
2863
2864 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2865 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2866 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2867 [Bodo Moeller]
2868
2869 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2870 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2871 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2872 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2873 [Andy Polyakov]
2874
2875 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2876 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2877
2878 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2879 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2880 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2881 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2882 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2883
2884 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2885 [Andy Polyakov]
2886
2887 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2888 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2889 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2890 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2891
2892 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2893 RSAZ.
2894 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2895
2896 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2897 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2898 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2899 for TLS encrypt.
2900
2901 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2902 [Andy Polyakov]
2903
2904 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2905 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2906 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2907 [Steve Henson]
2908
2909 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2910 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2911 [Steve Henson]
2912
2913 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2914 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2915 [Steve Henson]
2916
2917 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2918 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2919 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2920 algorithms and include tests cases.
2921 [Steve Henson]
2922
2923 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2924 structure.
2925 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2926
2927 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2928 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2929 [Steve Henson]
2930
2931 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2932 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2933 summary of the connection parameters.
2934 [Steve Henson]
2935
2936 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2937 of connection parameters.
2938 [Steve Henson]
2939
2940 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2941 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2942
2943 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2944 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2945 [Steve Henson]
2946
2947 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2948 [Steve Henson]
2949
2950 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2951 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2952 [Steve Henson]
2953
2954 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2955 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2956 [Steve Henson]
2957
2958 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2959 certificates.
2960 [Steve Henson]
2961
2962 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2963 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2964 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2965 [Steve Henson]
2966
2967 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2968 [Steve Henson]
2969
2970 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2971 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2972 [Steve Henson]
2973
2974 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2975 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2976 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2977 tracing.
2978 [Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2981 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2982 [Steve Henson]
2983
2984 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2985 OID NID.
2986 [Steve Henson]
2987
2988 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2989 client to OpenSSL.
2990 [Steve Henson]
2991
2992 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2993 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2994 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2995 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2996 [Steve Henson]
2997
2998 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2999 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3000 [Steve Henson]
3001
3002 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3003 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3004 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3005 comparison.
3006 [Steve Henson]
3007
3008 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3009 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3010 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3011 use the certificate.
3012 [Steve Henson]
3013
3014 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3015 [Steve Henson]
3016
3017 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3018 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3019 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3020 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3021 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3022 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3023 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3024
3025 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3026 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3027
3028 [Steve Henson]
3029
3030 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3031 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3032 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3033 [Steve Henson]
3034
3035 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3036 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3037 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3038 supported signature algorithms.
3039 [Steve Henson]
3040
3041 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3045 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3046 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3047 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3048 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3049 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3050 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3051 [Steve Henson]
3052
3053 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3054 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3055 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3056 to have similar checks in it.
3057
3058 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3059 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3060 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3061 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3062 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3063 [Steve Henson]
3064
3065 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3066 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3067 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3068 shared signature algorithms.
3069 [Steve Henson]
3070
3071 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3072 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3073 to support them.
3074 [Steve Henson]
3075
3076 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3077 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3078 it couldn't be removed.
3079 [Steve Henson]
3080
3081 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3082 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3083 [Steve Henson]
3084
3085 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3086 functions. Add manual page.
3087 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3088
3089 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3090 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3091 a certificate.
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093
3094 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3095 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3096
3097 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3098 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3099 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3100 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3101 utility) or reject.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3105 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3106 [Steve Henson]
3107
3108 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3109 platform support for Linux and Android.
3110 [Andy Polyakov]
3111
3112 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3113 [Andy Polyakov]
3114
3115 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3116 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3117 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3118 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3119 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3120 [Steve Henson]
3121
3122 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3123 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3124 the new parameter format automatically.
3125 [Steve Henson]
3126
3127 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3128 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3129 [Steve Henson]
3130
3131 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3132 [Steve Henson]
3133
3134 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3135 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3136 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3137 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3138 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3139 [Steve Henson]
3140
3141 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3142 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3143 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3144 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3145 to set list of supported curves.
3146 [Steve Henson]
3147
3148 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3149 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3150 to print out received values.
3151 [Steve Henson]
3152
3153 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3154 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3155 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3156 [Steve Henson]
3157
3158 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3159 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3160 [Steve Henson]
3161
3162 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3163 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3164 [Steve Henson]
3165
3166 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3167 certificates.
3168 [Steve Henson]
3169
3170 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3171 the certificate.
3172 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3173 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3174 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3175
3176 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3177
3178 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3179 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3180
3181 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3182
3183 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3184 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3185 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3186 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3187 (CVE-2014-3571)
3188 [Steve Henson]
3189
3190 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3191 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3192 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3193 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3194 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3195 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3196 (CVE-2015-0206)
3197 [Matt Caswell]
3198
3199 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3200 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3201 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3202 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3203 (CVE-2014-3569)
3204 [Kurt Roeckx]
3205
3206 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3207 ECDH ciphersuites.
3208
3209 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3210 reporting this issue.
3211 (CVE-2014-3572)
3212 [Steve Henson]
3213
3214 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3215 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3216 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3217 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3218 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3219 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3220 (CVE-2015-0204)
3221 [Steve Henson]
3222
3223 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3224 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3225 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3226 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3227 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3228 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3229 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3230 this issue.
3231 (CVE-2015-0205)
3232 [Steve Henson]
3233
3234 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3235 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3236
3237 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3238 and can vary with the CTX.
3239 [Adam Langley]
3240
3241 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3242
3243 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3244 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3245 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3246 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3247 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3248
3249 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3250
3251 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3252 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3253
3254 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3255
3256 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3257 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3258 errors for some broken certificates.
3259
3260 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3261
3262 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3263
3264 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3265 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3266
3267 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3268 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3269 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3270 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3271
3272 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3273 of the OpenSSL core team.
3274
3275 (CVE-2014-8275)
3276 [Steve Henson]
3277
3278 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3279 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3280 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3281 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3282 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3283 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3284 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3285 the OpenSSL core team.
3286 (CVE-2014-3570)
3287 [Andy Polyakov]
3288
3289 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3290 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3291 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3292 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3293 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3294
3295 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3296 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3297 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3298 [Emilia Käsper]
3299
3300 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3301 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3302 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3303 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3304 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3305
3306 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3307 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3308 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3309 [Emilia Käsper]
3310
3311 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3312
3313 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3314
3315 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3316 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3317 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3318 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3319 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3320 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3321 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3322
3323 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3324 (CVE-2014-3513)
3325 [OpenSSL team]
3326
3327 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3328
3329 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3330 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3331 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3332 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3333 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3334 attack.
3335 (CVE-2014-3567)
3336 [Steve Henson]
3337
3338 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3339
3340 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3341 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3342 configured to send them.
3343 (CVE-2014-3568)
3344 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3345
3346 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3347 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3348 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3349 (CVE-2014-3566)
3350 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3351
3352 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3353
3354 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3355 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3356 DigestInfo structures.
3357
3358 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3359
3360 [Steve Henson]
3361
3362 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3363
3364 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3365 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3366 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3367
3368 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3369 Group for discovering this issue.
3370 (CVE-2014-3512)
3371 [Steve Henson]
3372
3373 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3374 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3375 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3376 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3377 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3378
3379 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3380 researching this issue.
3381 (CVE-2014-3511)
3382 [David Benjamin]
3383
3384 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3385 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3386 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3387 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3388
3389 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3390 issue.
3391 (CVE-2014-3510)
3392 [Emilia Käsper]
3393
3394 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3395 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3396 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3397 (CVE-2014-3507)
3398 [Adam Langley]
3399
3400 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3401 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3402 Denial of Service attack.
3403 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3404 (CVE-2014-3506)
3405 [Adam Langley]
3406
3407 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3408 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3409 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3410 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3411 this issue.
3412 (CVE-2014-3505)
3413 [Adam Langley]
3414
3415 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3416 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3417 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3418
3419 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3420 issue.
3421 (CVE-2014-3509)
3422 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3423
3424 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3425 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3426 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3427 Denial of Service attack.
3428
3429 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3430 discovering and researching this issue.
3431 (CVE-2014-5139)
3432 [Steve Henson]
3433
3434 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3435 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3436 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3437 output to the attacker.
3438
3439 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3440 (CVE-2014-3508)
3441 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3442
3443 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3444 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3445 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3446 [Bodo Moeller]
3447
3448 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3449
3450 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3451 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3452 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3453
3454 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3455 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3456 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3457
3458 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3459 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3460 in a DoS attack.
3461
3462 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3463 (CVE-2014-0221)
3464 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3465
3466 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3467 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3468 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3469 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3470
3471 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3472 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3473
3474 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3475 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3476
3477 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3478 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3479 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3480
3481 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3482 compilation flags.
3483 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3484
3485 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3486 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3487 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3488
3489 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3490 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3491
3492 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3493
3494 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3495 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3496 server.
3497
3498 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3499 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3500 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3501 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3502
3503 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3504 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3505 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3506 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3507
3508 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3509 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3510 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3511
3512 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3513
3514 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3515 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3516 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3517 is at least 512 bytes long.
3518
3519 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3520
3521 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3522
3523 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3524 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3525 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3526 (CVE-2013-4353)
3527
3528 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3529 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3530 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3531 [Steve Henson]
3532
3533 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3534 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3535 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3536 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3537 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3538 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3539 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3540
3541 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3542
3543 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3544 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3545 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3546
3547 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3548
3549 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3550
3551 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3552 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3553 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3554
3555 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3556 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3557 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3558 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3559 (CVE-2013-0169)
3560 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3561
3562 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3563 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3564 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3565 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3566 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3567 (CVE-2012-2686)
3568 [Adam Langley]
3569
3570 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3571 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3572 [Steve Henson]
3573
3574 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3575 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3576
3577 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3578 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3579 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3580 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3581 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3582
3583 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3584 [Steve Henson]
3585
3586 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3587 if renegotiating.
3588 [Steve Henson]
3589
3590 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3591
3592 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3593 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3594
3595 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3596 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3597 (CVE-2012-2333)
3598 [Steve Henson]
3599
3600 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3601 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3602 [Steve Henson]
3603
3604 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3605 approved.
3606 [Steve Henson]
3607
3608 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3609
3610 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3611 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3612 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3613 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3614 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3615 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3616 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3617 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3618 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3619 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3620 [Steve Henson]
3621
3622 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3623 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3624 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3625 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3626 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3627 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3628 client side.
3629 [Andy Polyakov]
3630
3631 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3632
3633 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3634 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3635 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3636
3637 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3638 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3639 (CVE-2012-2110)
3640 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3641
3642 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3643 [Adam Langley]
3644
3645 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3646 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3647
3648 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3649 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3650 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3651 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3652 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3653 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3654 Most broken servers should now work.
3655 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3656 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3657 [Steve Henson]
3658
3659 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3660 [Andy Polyakov]
3661
3662 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3663
3664 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3665 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3666 [Steve Henson]
3667
3668 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3669 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3670 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3671 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3672 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3673 [Steve Henson]
3674
3675 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3676 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3677 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3678 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3679 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3680 [Steve Henson]
3681
3682 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3683 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3684
3685 *) Add support for SCTP.
3686 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3687
3688 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3689 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3690
3691 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3692
3693 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3694 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3695 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3696 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3697 - s390x: z196 support;
3698 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3699
3700 [Andy Polyakov]
3701
3702 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3703 (removal of unnecessary code)
3704 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3705
3706 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3707 [Eric Rescorla]
3708
3709 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3710 [Eric Rescorla]
3711
3712 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3713 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3714 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3715 by Google.
3716 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3717
3718 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3719 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3720 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3721 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3722 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3723
3724 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3725 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3726 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3727
3728 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3729 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3730 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3731
3732 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3733 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3734 implementations).
3735 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3736
3737 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3738 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3739 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3740 [Steve Henson]
3741
3742 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3743 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3744 particular PSS.
3745 [Steve Henson]
3746
3747 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3748 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3749 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3750 [Steve Henson]
3751
3752 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3753 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3754 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3755 the appropriate parameters.
3756 [Steve Henson]
3757
3758 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3759 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3760 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3761 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3762 against a number of sample certificates.
3763 [Steve Henson]
3764
3765 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3766 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3767
3768 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3769 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3770
3771 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3772 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3773 parameters r, s.
3774 [Steve Henson]
3775
3776 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3777 RFC3211.
3778 [Steve Henson]
3779
3780 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3781 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3782 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3783 password based CMS).
3784 [Steve Henson]
3785
3786 *) Session-handling fixes:
3787 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3788 but also support Session Tickets.
3789 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3790 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3791 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3792 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3793 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3794 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3795
3796 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3797 [Bodo Moeller]
3798
3799 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3800
3801 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3802 [Andy Polyakov]
3803
3804 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3805 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3806 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3807 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3808 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3809 [Steve Henson]
3810
3811 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3812 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3813 [Steve Henson]
3814
3815 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3816 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3817 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3818 [Steve Henson]
3819
3820 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3821 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3822 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3823 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3824 [Steve Henson]
3825
3826 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3827 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3828 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3829 [Steve Henson]
3830
3831 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3832 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3833
3834 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3835 [Steve Henson]
3836
3837 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3838 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3839 [Steve Henson]
3840
3841 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3842 [Steve Henson]
3843
3844 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3845 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3846 [Steve Henson]
3847
3848 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3849 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3850 [Steve Henson]
3851
3852 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3853 [Steve Henson]
3854
3855 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3856 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3857 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3858 [Steve Henson]
3859
3860 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3864 [Steve Henson]
3865
3866 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3867 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3868 [Steve Henson]
3869
3870 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3871 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3872 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3873 [Steve Henson]
3874
3875 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3876 [Steve Henson]
3877
3878 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3879 and enable MD5.
3880 [Steve Henson]
3881
3882 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3883 FIPS modules versions.
3884 [Steve Henson]
3885
3886 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3887 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3888 until after the certificate request message is received.
3889 [Steve Henson]
3890
3891 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3892 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3893 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3894 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3895 [Steve Henson]
3896
3897 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3898 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3899 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3900 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3901 [Steve Henson]
3902
3903 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3904 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3905 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3906 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3907 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3908 and version checking.
3909 [Steve Henson]
3910
3911 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3912 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3913 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3914 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3915 [Steve Henson]
3916
3917 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3918 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3919 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3920 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3921 Ben Laurie]
3922
3923 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3924 [Steve Henson]
3925
3926 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3927 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3928 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3929
3930 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3931 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3932 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3933 [Steve Henson]
3934
3935 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3936 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3937
3938 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3939 a few changes are required:
3940
3941 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3942 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3943 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3944 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3945 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3946 [Steve Henson]
3947
3948 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3949
3950 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3951 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3952 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3953 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3954 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3955 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3956 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3957 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3958 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3959 [Steve Henson]
3960
3961 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3962 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3963 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3964 [Steve Henson]
3965
3966 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3967
3968 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3969 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3970 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3971 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3972 [Antonio Martin]
3973
3974 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3975
3976 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3977 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3978 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3979 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3980 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3981 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3982 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3983 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3984 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3985 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3986 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3987 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3988 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3989
3990 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3991 (CVE-2011-4576)
3992 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3993
3994 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3995 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3996 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3997 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3998
3999 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4000 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4001
4002 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4003 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4004 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4005 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4006
4007 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4008 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4009
4010 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4011 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4012
4013 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4014 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4015
4016 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4017 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4018 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4019
4020 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4021 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4022 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4023
4024 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4025 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4026 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4027 the last update always remained unused).
4028 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4029
4030 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4031 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4032
4033 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4034
4035 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4036 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4037 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4038
4039 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4040 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4041 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4042
4043 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4044 [Bodo Moeller]
4045
4046 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4047 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4048 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4049 [Steve Henson]
4050
4051 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4052 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4053
4054 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4055
4056 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4057
4058 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4059
4060 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4061 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4062
4063 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4064 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4065 ambiguous.
4066 [Steve Henson]
4067
4068 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4069
4070 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4071 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4072 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4073 [Steve Henson]
4074
4075 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4076 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4077 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4078 [Ben Laurie]
4079
4080 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4081
4082 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4083 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4084 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4085 [Steve Henson]
4086
4087 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4088 a DLL.
4089 [Steve Henson]
4090
4091 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4092
4093 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4094 (CVE-2010-1633)
4095 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4096
4097 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4098
4099 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4100 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4101 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4102 [Steve Henson]
4103
4104 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4105 [Steve Henson]
4106
4107 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4108 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4109 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4110
4111 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4112 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4113 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4114 [Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4117 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4118 [Steve Henson]
4119
4120 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4121 some responders need this.
4122 [Steve Henson]
4123
4124 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4125 correctly.
4126 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4127
4128 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4129 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4130 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4131 [Steve Henson]
4132
4133 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4134 [Steve Henson]
4135
4136 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4137 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4138 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4139 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4140 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4141 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4142 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4143 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4144 [Steve Henson]
4145
4146 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4147 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4148 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4149 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4150
4151 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4152 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4153
4154 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4155 be used on C++.
4156 [Steve Henson]
4157
4158 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4159 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4160 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4161 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4162 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4163 attempting to work them out.
4164 [Steve Henson]
4165
4166 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4167 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4168 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4169 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4170 [Steve Henson]
4171
4172 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4173 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4174 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4175 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4176 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4177 [Steve Henson]
4178
4179 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4180 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4181 you can do:
4182
4183 openssl sha256 foo
4184
4185 as well as:
4186
4187 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4188
4189 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4190
4191 [Steve Henson]
4192
4193 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4194 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4195
4196 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4197 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4200 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4201 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4202 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4203 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4204 [Steve Henson]
4205
4206 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4207 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4208 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4209 [Steve Henson]
4210
4211 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4212 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4213 [Steve Henson]
4214
4215 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4216 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4217
4218 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4219 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4220 [Steve Henson]
4221
4222 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4223 [Ben Laurie]
4224
4225 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4226 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4227 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4228 CONF_VALUE.
4229 [Ben Laurie]
4230
4231 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4232 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4233 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4234 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4235 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4236 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4237 [Steve Henson]
4238
4239 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4240 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4241
4242 This work was sponsored by Google.
4243 [Steve Henson]
4244
4245 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4246 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4247 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4248 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4249 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4250 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4251 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4252 default.
4253
4254 This work was sponsored by Google.
4255 [Steve Henson]
4256
4257 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4258
4259 This work was sponsored by Google.
4260 [Steve Henson]
4261
4262 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4263 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4264 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4265 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4266
4267 This work was sponsored by Google.
4268 [Steve Henson]
4269
4270 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4271 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4272 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4273 CRL functionality in future.
4274
4275 This work was sponsored by Google.
4276 [Steve Henson]
4277
4278 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4279
4280 This work was sponsored by Google.
4281 [Steve Henson]
4282
4283 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4284 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4285
4286 This work was sponsored by Google.
4287 [Steve Henson]
4288
4289 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4290 and URI types are currently supported.
4291
4292 This work was sponsored by Google.
4293 [Steve Henson]
4294
4295 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4296 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4297 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4298 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4299 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4300 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4301 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4302 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4303
4304 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4305 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4306 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4307
4308 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4309 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4310 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4311 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4312
4313 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4314 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4315 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4316 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4317 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4318 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4319 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4320 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4321 of &errno.)
4322 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4323
4324 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4325 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4326 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4327
4328 This work was sponsored by Google.
4329 [Steve Henson]
4330
4331 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4332 [Ben Laurie]
4333
4334 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4335 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4336 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4337 [Ben Laurie]
4338
4339 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4340 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4341 [Nick Mathewson]
4342
4343 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4344 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4345 [Ben Laurie]
4346
4347 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4348 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4349 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4350 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4351 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4352 content types and variants.
4353 [Steve Henson]
4354
4355 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4356 [Steve Henson]
4357
4358 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4359 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4360 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4361 files from the associated perl scripts.
4362 [Steve Henson]
4363
4364 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4365 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4366 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4367
4368 *) s390x assembler pack.
4369 [Andy Polyakov]
4370
4371 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4372 "family."
4373 [Andy Polyakov]
4374
4375 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4376 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4377 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4378 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4379 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4380 to use. For example, specify an option
4381
4382 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4383
4384 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4385 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4386 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4387 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4388 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4389 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4390
4391 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4392 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4393 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4394 return non-zero for success.
4395
4396 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4397 by using
4398
4399 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4400 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4401
4402 where
4403
4404 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4405 void *arg;
4406
4407 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4408 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4409 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4410 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4411 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4412 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4413 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4414 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4415 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4416
4417 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4418 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4419 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4420 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4421 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4422 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4423
4424 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4425 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4426 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4427 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4428 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4429 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4430
4431 [Bodo Moeller]
4432
4433 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4434 MAC.
4435
4436 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4437
4438 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4439 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4440 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4441 supported.
4442
4443 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4444 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4445 SSL_SESSION.
4446
4447 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4448 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4449 with no application modification.
4450
4451 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4452 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4453
4454 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4455 or server extensions to be examined.
4456
4457 This work was sponsored by Google.
4458 [Steve Henson]
4459
4460 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4461 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4462 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4463
4464 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4465 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4466 ciphersuite support.
4467 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4468
4469 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4470 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4471 to output in BER and PEM format.
4472 [Steve Henson]
4473
4474 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4475 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4476 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4477 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4478 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4479 [Steve Henson]
4480
4481 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4482 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4483 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4484 utility.
4485 [Steve Henson]
4486
4487 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4488 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4489 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4490 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4491 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4492 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4493 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4494 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4495 enabled again.
4496
4497 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4498 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4499 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4500 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4501
4502 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4503 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4504 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4505 the default order.
4506 [Bodo Moeller]
4507
4508 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4509 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4510 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4511 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4512 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4513 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4514 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4515 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4516 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4517
4518 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4519 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4520 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4521 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4522 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4523 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4524 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4525 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4526 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4527 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4528 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4529 kinds of kludges.
4530
4531 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4532 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4533 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4534
4535 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4536 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4537 "CAMELLIA256".
4538 [Bodo Moeller]
4539
4540 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4541 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4542 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4543 [Nils Larsch]
4544
4545 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4546 it yet and it is largely untested.
4547 [Steve Henson]
4548
4549 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4550 [Nils Larsch]
4551
4552 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4553 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4554 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4555 [Steve Henson]
4556
4557 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4558 [Andy Polyakov]
4559
4560 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4561 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4562 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4563 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4564 [Steve Henson]
4565
4566 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4567 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4568 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4569 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4570 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4571 [Steve Henson]
4572
4573 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4574 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4575 [Cryptocom]
4576
4577 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4578 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4579 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4580 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4581 [Steve Henson]
4582
4583 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4584 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4585 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4586 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4587 [Steve Henson]
4588
4589 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4590 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4591 [Steve Henson]
4592
4593 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4594 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4595 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4596 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4597 [Steve Henson]
4598
4599 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4600 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4601 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4602 [Steve Henson]
4603
4604 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4605 utility.
4606 [Steve Henson]
4607
4608 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4609 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4610 [Steve Henson]
4611
4612 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4613 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4614 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4615 if necessary.
4616 [Steve Henson]
4617
4618 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4619 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4620 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4621 [Steve Henson]
4622
4623 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4624 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4625 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4626 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4627 [Steve Henson]
4628
4629 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4630 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4631 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4632 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4633 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4634 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4635 [Douglas Stebila]
4636
4637 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4638 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4639 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4640 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4641 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4642
4643 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4644 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4645 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4646 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4647 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4648 protocol).
4649
4650 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4651 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4652 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4653 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4654
4655 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4656 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4657 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4658 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4659 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4660
4661 aECDH - ECDH cert
4662 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4663 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4664
4665 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4666 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4667
4668 [Bodo Moeller]
4669
4670 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4671 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4672 [Steve Henson]
4673
4674 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4675 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4676 [Steve Henson]
4677
4678 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4679 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4680 functional reference processing.
4681 [Steve Henson]
4682
4683 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4684 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4685 process.
4686 [Steve Henson]
4687
4688 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4689 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4690 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4691 [Steve Henson]
4692
4693 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4694 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4695 application to support multiple signers.
4696 [Steve Henson]
4697
4698 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4699 digest MAC.
4700 [Steve Henson]
4701
4702 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4703 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4704 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4705 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4706 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4707 [Steve Henson]
4708
4709 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4710 new API.
4711 [Steve Henson]
4712
4713 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4714 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4715 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4716 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4717 a no op.
4718 [Steve Henson]
4719
4720 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4721 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4722 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4723 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4724 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4725 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4726 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4727 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4728 [Steve Henson]
4729
4730 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4731 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4732 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4733 between digests and public key types.
4734 [Steve Henson]
4735
4736 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4737 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4738 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4739 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4740 [Steve Henson]
4741
4742 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4743 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4744 key ASN1 method.
4745 [Steve Henson]
4746
4747 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4748 [Steve Henson]
4749
4750 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4751 pkeyutl.
4752 [Steve Henson]
4753
4754 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4755 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4756 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4757 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4758 pkey, genpkey.
4759 [Steve Henson]
4760
4761 *) BeOS support.
4762 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4763
4764 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4765 manual pages.
4766 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4767
4768 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4769 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4770 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4771 functionality for RSA.
4772 [Steve Henson]
4773
4774 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4775 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4776 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4777 [Steve Henson]
4778
4779 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4780 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4781 [Steve Henson]
4782
4783 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4784 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4785 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4786 [Steve Henson]
4787
4788 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4789 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4790 [Douglas Stebila]
4791
4792 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4793 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4794 [Steve Henson]
4795
4796 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4797 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4798 type.
4799 [Steve Henson]
4800
4801 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4802 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4803 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4804 structure.
4805 [Steve Henson]
4806
4807 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4808 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4809 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4810 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4811 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4812 of public and private key structures.
4813 [Steve Henson]
4814
4815 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4816 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4817 [Douglas Stebila]
4818
4819 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4820 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4821 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4822
4823 New ciphersuites:
4824 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4825 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4826
4827 New functions:
4828 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4829 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4830 SSL_get_psk_identity
4831 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4832
4833 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4834
4835 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4836 and response verification functionality.
4837 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4838
4839 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4840 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4841 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4842 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4843 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4844 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4845 server_name extension.
4846
4847 New functions (subject to change):
4848
4849 SSL_get_servername()
4850 SSL_get_servername_type()
4851 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4852
4853 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4854
4855 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4856 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4857 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4858 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4859 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4860
4861 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4862
4863 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4864 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4865 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4866 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4867 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4868 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4869 option.
4870
4871 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4872
4873 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4874 [Andy Polyakov]
4875
4876 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4877 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4878 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4879 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4880 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4881 [Andy Polyakov]
4882
4883 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4884 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4885 macro.
4886 [Bodo Moeller]
4887
4888 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4889 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4890 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4891 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4892 [Andy Polyakov]
4893
4894 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4895 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4896 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4897 using the maximum available value.
4898 [Steve Henson]
4899
4900 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4901 in addition to the text details.
4902 [Bodo Moeller]
4903
4904 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4905 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4906 handle several customised structures at all.
4907 [Steve Henson]
4908
4909 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4910 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4911 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4912 [Steve Henson]
4913
4914 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4915 [Steve Henson]
4916
4917 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4918 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4919 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4920 [Steve Henson]
4921
4922 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4923 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4924 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4925 [Nils Larsch]
4926
4927 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4928 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4929 all fields.
4930 [Steve Henson]
4931
4932 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4933 [Steve Henson]
4934
4935 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4936 [NTT]
4937
4938 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4939
4940 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4941 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4942 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4943 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4944 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4945 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4946 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4947 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4948
4949 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4950 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4951 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4952
4953 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4954
4955 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4956 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4957
4958 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4959 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4960 [Bodo Moeller]
4961
4962 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4963 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4964 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4965 [Steve Henson]
4966
4967 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4968 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4969 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4970 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4971 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4972 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4973 [Steve Henson]
4974
4975 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4976 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4977 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4978 [Steve Henson]
4979
4980 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4981 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4982 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4983 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4984 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4985 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4986 CVE-2009-4355.
4987 [Steve Henson]
4988
4989 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4990 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4991 [Bodo Moeller]
4992
4993 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4994 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4995 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4996 [Steve Henson]
4997
4998 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4999 [Steve Henson]
5000
5001 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5002 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5003 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5004 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5005 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5006 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5007 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5008 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5009 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5010 [Steve Henson]
5011
5012 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5013 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5014 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5015 [Steve Henson]
5016
5017 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5018 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5019 [Steve Henson]
5020
5021 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5022 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5023 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5024 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5025 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5026 know what you are doing.
5027 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5028
5029 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5030 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5031 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5032 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5033 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5034 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5035 the handshake.
5036 [Steve Henson]
5037
5038 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5039 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5040 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5041 correctly.
5042 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5043
5044 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5045 warnings in other configurations.
5046 [Steve Henson]
5047
5048 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5049 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5050 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5051 systems need.
5052 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5053
5054 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5055 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5056 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5057
5058 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5059 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5060 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5061 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5062 [Steve Henson]
5063
5064 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5065 and restored.
5066 [Steve Henson]
5067
5068 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5069 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5070 clash.
5071 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5072
5073 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5074 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5075 other than a simple chain.
5076 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5077
5078 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5079 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5080 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5081 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5082 [Steve Henson]
5083
5084 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5085 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5086 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5087 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5088 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5089 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5090 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5091 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5092 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5093
5094 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5095 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5096 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5097 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5098 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5099 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5100 (CVE-2009-1377)
5101 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5102
5103 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5104 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5105 [Daniel Mentz]
5106
5107 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5108 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5109
5110 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5111 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5112
5113 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5114
5115 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5116 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5117 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5118 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5119 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5120 you're doing.
5121 [Ben Laurie]
5122
5123 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5124
5125 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5126 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5127 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5128 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5129
5130 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5131 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5132 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5133 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5134
5135 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5136 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5137 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5138 [Steve Henson]
5139
5140 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5141 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5142 level.
5143 [Steve Henson]
5144
5145 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5146 to handle some structures.
5147 [Steve Henson]
5148
5149 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5150 for a '\n'
5151 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5152
5153 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5154 [Matthieu Herrb]
5155
5156 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5157 [Steve Henson]
5158
5159 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5160 [Steve Henson]
5161
5162 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5163 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5164 chosen compiler.
5165 [Ben Laurie]
5166
5167 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5168
5169 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5170 (CVE-2008-5077).
5171 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5172
5173 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5174 [Ben Laurie]
5175
5176 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5177 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5178 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5179 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5180
5181 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5182 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5183
5184 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5185 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5186 [Bodo Moeller]
5187
5188 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5189 s_client and s_server.
5190 [Ben Laurie]
5191
5192 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5193 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5194
5195 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5196 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5197
5198 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5199 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5200 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5201 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5202 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5203 [Bodo Moeller]
5204
5205 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5206
5207 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5208 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5209 [PR #1679]
5210
5211 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5212 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5213 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5214
5215 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5216 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5217 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5218 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5219
5220 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5221 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5222
5223 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5224
5225 *) Various precautionary measures:
5226
5227 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5228
5229 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5230 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5231 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5232
5233 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5234 outside the expected range.
5235
5236 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5237 builds.
5238
5239 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5240
5241 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5242 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5243 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5244
5245 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5246 [Steve Henson]
5247
5248 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5249 [Huang Ying]
5250
5251 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5252
5253 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5254 [Steve Henson]
5255
5256 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5257 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5258 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5259
5260 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5261 [Steve Henson]
5262
5263 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5264 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5265 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5266 files.
5267 [Steve Henson]
5268
5269 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5270
5271 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5272 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5273 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5274 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5275
5276 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5277 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5278 [Joe Orton]
5279
5280 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5281
5282 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5283 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5284 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5285
5286 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5287
5288 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5289 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5290 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5291 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5292 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5293
5294 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5295 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5296 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5297 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5298 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5299 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5300 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5301
5302 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5303
5304 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5305 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5306 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5307 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5308 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5309
5310 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5311 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5312
5313 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5314 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5315 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5316 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5317 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5318
5319 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5320
5321 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5322 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5323 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5324 sets may exist with different names.
5325 [Steve Henson]
5326
5327 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5328 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5329 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5330 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5331 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5332 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5333 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5334 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5335 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5336 implementation.
5337 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5338
5339 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5340 implementation in the following ways:
5341
5342 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5343 hard coded.
5344
5345 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5346 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5347 ignored for embedded content.
5348
5349 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5350 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5351 [Steve Henson]
5352
5353 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5354 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5355 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5356 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5357
5358 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5359 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5360 [Steve Henson]
5361
5362 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5363 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5364 [Steve Henson]
5365
5366 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5367 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5368 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5369 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5370 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5371 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5372 data.
5373 [Steve Henson]
5374
5375 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5376 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5377 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5378
5379 *) Netware support:
5380
5381 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5382 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5383 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5384 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5385 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5386 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5387 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5388 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5389 platform
5390 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5391 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5392 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5393 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5394 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5395 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5396 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5397
5398 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5399 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5400 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5401 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5402 to s_client and s_server.
5403 [Steve Henson]
5404
5405 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5406
5407 *) Fix various bugs:
5408 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5409 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5410 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5411 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5412 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5413
5414 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5415
5416 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5417 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5418 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5419 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5420 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5421 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5422 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5423 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5424 [Andy Polyakov]
5425
5426 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5427 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5428 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5429 Steve Henson]
5430
5431 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5432 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5433 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5434 supported.
5435
5436 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5437 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5438 SSL_SESSION.
5439
5440 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5441 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5442 with no application modification.
5443
5444 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5445 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5446
5447 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5448 or server extensions to be examined.
5449
5450 This work was sponsored by Google.
5451 [Steve Henson]
5452
5453 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5454 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5455 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5456 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5457 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5458 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5459 server_name extension.
5460
5461 New functions (subject to change):
5462
5463 SSL_get_servername()
5464 SSL_get_servername_type()
5465 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5466
5467 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5468
5469 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5470 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5471 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5472 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5473 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5474
5475 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5476
5477 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5478 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5479 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5480 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5481 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5482 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5483 option.
5484
5485 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5486
5487 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5488 [Steve Henson]
5489
5490 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5491 [Andy Polyakov]
5492
5493 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5494 (which previously caused an internal error).
5495 [Bodo Moeller]
5496
5497 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5498 [Ben Laurie]
5499
5500 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5501 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5502
5503 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5504 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5505 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5506
5507 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5508 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5509 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5510 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5511
5512 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5513 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5514 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5515 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5516
5517 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5518 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5519 information. For detailed background information, see
5520 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5521 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5522 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5523 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5524 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5525 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5526 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5527 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5528 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5529 remove a conditional branch.
5530
5531 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5532 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5533 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5534 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5535 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5536 remains as a deprecated alias.
5537
5538 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5539 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5540 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5541 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5542
5543 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5544 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5545 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5546 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5547 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5548 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5549 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5550 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5551
5552 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5553
5554 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5555 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5556 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5557 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5558 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5559 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5560 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5561 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5562 in a different context.
5563 [Bodo Moeller]
5564
5565 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5566 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5567 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5568 [Bodo Moeller]
5569
5570 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5571 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5572 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5573
5574 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5575
5576 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5577 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5578 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5579 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5580 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5581 [Victor Duchovni]
5582
5583 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5584 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5585 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5586 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5587 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5588 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5589 [Bodo Moeller]
5590
5591 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5592 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5593 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5594 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5595 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5596 [Bodo Moeller]
5597
5598 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5599 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5600
5601 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5602 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5603 Improve header file function name parsing.
5604 [Steve Henson]
5605
5606 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5607 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5608 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5609
5610 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5611
5612 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5613 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5614 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5615
5616 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5617 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5618
5619 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5620 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5621
5622 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5623 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5624 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5625
5626 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5627 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5628 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5629 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5630 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5631 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5632 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5633 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5634 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5635
5636 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5637 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5638 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5639 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5640 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5641
5642 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5643 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5644 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5645 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5646 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5647 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5648 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5649 multiple values to extend the available space.
5650
5651 [Bodo Moeller]
5652
5653 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5654
5655 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5656 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5657
5658 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5659 [Ben Laurie]
5660
5661 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5662 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5663 undesirable limitations.
5664 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5665
5666 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5667 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5668 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5669 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5670 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5671 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5672 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5673 [Bodo Moeller]
5674
5675 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5676
5677 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5678 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5679 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5680
5681 The latter two were purportedly from
5682 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5683 appear there.
5684
5685 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5686 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5687 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5688 [Bodo Moeller]
5689
5690 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5691 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5692 [Bodo Moeller]
5693
5694 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5695 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5696 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5697 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5698
5699 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5700 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5701 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5702 [NTT]
5703
5704 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5705 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5706 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5707 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5708 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5709 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5710 [Steve Henson]
5711
5712 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5713
5714 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5715 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5716 [Steve Henson]
5717
5718 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5719 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5720
5721 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5722 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5723 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5724 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5725 [Douglas Stebila]
5726
5727 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5728 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5729 [Steve Henson]
5730
5731 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5732 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5733 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5734 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5735 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5736 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5737 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5738 can't be loaded.
5739 [Steve Henson]
5740
5741 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5742 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5743 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5744 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5745 [Steve Henson]
5746
5747 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5748 under VC++ build system.
5749 [Steve Henson]
5750
5751 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5752 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5753 [Richard Levitte]
5754
5755 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5756
5757 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5758 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5759 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5760 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5761 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5762
5763 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5764 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5765 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5766
5767 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5768 [Steve Henson]
5769
5770 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5771 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5772 [Nils Larsch]
5773
5774 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5775 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5776
5777 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5778 [Nick Mathewson]
5779
5780 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5781 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5782
5783 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5784 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5785 [Steve Henson]
5786
5787 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5788 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5789 smime utility.
5790 [Steve Henson]
5791
5792 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5793
5794 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5795 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5796
5797 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5798 [Richard Levitte]
5799
5800 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5801 key into the same file any more.
5802 [Richard Levitte]
5803
5804 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5805 [Andy Polyakov]
5806
5807 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5808 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5809
5810 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5811 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5812 [Richard Levitte]
5813
5814 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5815 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5816 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5817 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5818 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5819 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5820
5821 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5822 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5823 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5824 [Steve Henson]
5825
5826 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5827 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5828 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5829 - add new function for parameter creation
5830 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5831 BN_BLINDING parameters
5832 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5833 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5834 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5835 threads.
5836 [Nils Larsch]
5837
5838 *) Add support for DTLS.
5839 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5840
5841 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5842 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5843 [Walter Goulet]
5844
5845 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5846 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5847 [Nils Larsch]
5848
5849 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5850 the apps/openssl applications.
5851 [Nils Larsch]
5852
5853 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5854 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5855 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5856 [Ben Laurie]
5857
5858 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5859 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5860
5861 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5862 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5863
5864 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5865 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5866 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5867 avoid this algorithm.)
5868
5869 [Bodo Moeller]
5870
5871 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5872 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5873 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5874 [Richard Levitte]
5875
5876 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5877 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5878 [Andy Polyakov]
5879
5880 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5881 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5882 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5883 pod file:
5884
5885 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5886
5887 The blank line is mandatory.
5888
5889 [Steve Henson]
5890
5891 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5892 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5893 sources.
5894 [Steve Henson]
5895
5896 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5897 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5898
5899 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5900 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5901 to support policy checking and print out.
5902 [Steve Henson]
5903
5904 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5905 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5906 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5907 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5908
5909 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5910 [Geoff Thorpe]
5911
5912 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5913 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5914
5915 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5916 implementation contributed by IBM.
5917 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5918
5919 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5920 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5921 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5922 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5923
5924 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5925 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5926
5927 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5928 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5929 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5930 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5931 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5932 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5933 [Steve Henson]
5934
5935 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5936 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5937 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5938 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5939 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5940 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5941 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5942 [Geoff Thorpe]
5943
5944 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5945 [Steve Henson]
5946
5947 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5948 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5949 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5950 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5951 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5952 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5953 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5954 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5955 [Steve Henson]
5956
5957 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5958 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5959 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5960 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5961 [Steve Henson]
5962
5963 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5964 syntax:
5965
5966 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5967 [Steve Henson]
5968
5969 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5970 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5971 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5972 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5973 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5974 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5975 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5976 [Geoff Thorpe]
5977
5978 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5979 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5980 [Geoff Thorpe]
5981
5982 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5983 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5984 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5985 [Steve Henson]
5986
5987 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5988 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5989 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5990 below).
5991 [Geoff Thorpe]
5992
5993 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5994 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5995 [Richard Levitte]
5996
5997 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5998 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5999 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6000 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6001 [Geoff Thorpe]
6002
6003 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6004 initialised value as BN_new().
6005 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6006
6007 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6008 [Steve Henson]
6009
6010 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6011 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6012 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6013 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6014 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6015 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6016 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6017 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6018 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6019 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6020 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6021 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6022 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6023 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6024 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6025
6026 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6027 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6028 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6029 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6030 [Geoff Thorpe]
6031
6032 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6033 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6034 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6035 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6036 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6037 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6038 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6039 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6040 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6041 [Geoff Thorpe]
6042
6043 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6044 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6045 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6046 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6047 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6048 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6049 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6050 [Geoff Thorpe]
6051
6052 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6053 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6054 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6055 these have been updated also.
6056 [Geoff Thorpe]
6057
6058 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6059 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6060 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6061 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6062 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6063 functions.
6064 [Steve Henson]
6065
6066 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6067 structure of type "other".
6068 [Steve Henson]
6069
6070 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6071 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6072 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6073 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6074 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6075 situation in the script.
6076 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6077
6078 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6079 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6080 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6081 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6082 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6083 used as premaster secret.
6084 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6085
6086 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6087 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6088 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6089
6090 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6091 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6092
6093 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6094 control of the error stack.
6095 [Richard Levitte]
6096
6097 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6098 [Richard Levitte]
6099
6100 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6101 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6102 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6103 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6104 [Richard Levitte]
6105
6106 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6107 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6108 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6109 [Richard Levitte]
6110
6111 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6112 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6113 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6114 a memory area.
6115 [Richard Levitte]
6116
6117 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6118 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6119 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6120 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6121 [Richard Levitte]
6122
6123 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6124 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6125 the following flags are defined:
6126
6127 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6128 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6129 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6130 number.
6131
6132 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6133 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6134 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6135 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6136 returns zero.
6137 [Richard Levitte]
6138
6139 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6140 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6141 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6142 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6143 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6144 [Richard Levitte]
6145
6146 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6147 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6148 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6149 [Richard Levitte]
6150
6151 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6152 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6153 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6154 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6155 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6156 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6157 [Richard Levitte]
6158
6159 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6160 req and dirName.
6161 [Steve Henson]
6162
6163 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6164 [Steve Henson]
6165
6166 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6167 [Steve Henson]
6168
6169 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6170 [Steve Henson]
6171
6172 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6173 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6174 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6175 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6176 default implementation more easily.
6177 [Geoff Thorpe]
6178
6179 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6180 in config files.
6181 [Steve Henson]
6182
6183 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6184 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6185 [Richard Levitte]
6186
6187 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6188 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6189 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6190 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6191
6192 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6193 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6194 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6195 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6196 [Steve Henson]
6197
6198 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6199 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6200 to do it.
6201 [Richard Levitte]
6202
6203 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6204 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6205 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6206 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6207 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6208 scalar * generator).
6209 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6210
6211 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6212 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6213 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6214 correctly.
6215 [Steve Henson]
6216
6217 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6218 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6219 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6220 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6221 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6222 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6223 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6224 linker additions, eg;
6225 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6226 [Geoff Thorpe]
6227
6228 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6229 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6230 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6231 [Geoff Thorpe]
6232
6233 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6234 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6235 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6236 via PR#459)
6237 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6238
6239 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6240 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6241 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6242 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6243 [Geoff Thorpe]
6244
6245 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6246 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6247 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6248 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6249 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6250 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6251 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6252 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6253 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6254 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6255
6256 Example for using the new callback interface:
6257
6258 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6259 void *my_arg = ...;
6260 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6261
6262 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6263
6264 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6265 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6266 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6267 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6268 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6269 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6270 */
6271
6272 [Geoff Thorpe]
6273
6274 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6275 available to TLS with the number defined in
6276 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6277 [Richard Levitte]
6278
6279 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6280 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6281
6282 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6283 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6284 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6285 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6286
6287 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6288 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6289
6290 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6291 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6292 well.
6293 [Richard Levitte]
6294
6295 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6296 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6297 [Richard Levitte]
6298
6299 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6300 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6301 and a macro that behave like
6302 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6303
6304 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6305 [Nils Larsch]
6306
6307 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6308 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6309 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6310 if applicable.
6311 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6312
6313 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6314 [Bodo Moeller]
6315
6316 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6317 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6318 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6319 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6320 directory engines/.
6321 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6322 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6323 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6324 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6325 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6326 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6327 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6328 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6329
6330 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6331 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6332 [Richard Levitte]
6333
6334 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6335 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6336
6337 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6338 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6339 files while avoiding the low level API.
6340
6341 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6342 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6343 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6344 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6345
6346 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6347 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6348 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6349 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6350 instead of the low level API.
6351 [Steve Henson]
6352
6353 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6354 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6355 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6356 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6357 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6358 PKCS#7 code.
6359
6360 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6361 down to the template encoder.
6362 [Steve Henson]
6363
6364 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6365 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6366 [Bodo Moeller]
6367
6368 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6369 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6370 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6371 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6372
6373 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6374 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6375
6376 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6377 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6378
6379 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6380 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6381 [Bodo Moeller]
6382
6383 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6384 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6385 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6386 [Bodo Moeller]
6387
6388 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6389 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6390
6391 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6392 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6393
6394 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6395 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6396 New EC_METHOD:
6397
6398 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6399
6400 New API functions:
6401
6402 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6403 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6404 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6405 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6406 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6407 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6408
6409 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6410 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6411 enable it).
6412
6413 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6414 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6415 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6416 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6417 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6418 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6419 various internal method names.)
6420
6421 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6422 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6423
6424 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6425 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6426
6427 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6428 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6429
6430 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6431 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6432 methods are undefined.
6433
6434 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6435 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6436
6437 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6438 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6439 length of the modulus.
6440
6441 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6442 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6443
6444 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6445 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6446
6447 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6448 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6449
6450 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6451 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6452 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6453
6454 BN_GF2m_add
6455 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6456 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6457 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6458 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6459 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6460 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6461 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6462 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6463 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6464
6465 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6466 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6467
6468 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6469 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6470 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6471 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6472 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6473 where
6474 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6475 This applies to the following functions:
6476
6477 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6478 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6479 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6480 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6481 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6482 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6483 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6484 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6485 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6486 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6487
6488 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6489
6490 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6491 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6492
6493 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6494
6495 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6496 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6497 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6498 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6499 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6500
6501 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6502 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6503
6504 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6505 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6506 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6507
6508 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6509 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6510
6511 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6512 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6513 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6514 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6515 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6516
6517 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6518 functions
6519 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6520 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6521 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6522 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6523 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6524 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6525 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6526 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6527 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6528 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6529 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6530 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6531
6532 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6533 functions
6534 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6535 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6536 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6537 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6538 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6539
6540 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6541 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6542 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6543 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6544
6545 *) Add functions
6546 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6547 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6548 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6549 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6550 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6551 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6552 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6553
6554 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6555 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6556 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6557 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6558 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6559 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6560 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6561 adding different types of curves.
6562 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6563
6564 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6565 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6566 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6567 [Bodo Moeller]
6568
6569 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6570 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6571
6572 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6573 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6574 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6575 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6576
6577 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6578
6579 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6580 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6581
6582 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6583 library. Most notably,
6584 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6585 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6586 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6587 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6588 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6589 extracted before the specific public key;
6590 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6591 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6592
6593 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6594 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6595 function
6596 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6597 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6598 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6599 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6600 accessed via
6601 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6602 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6603 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6604
6605 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6606 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6607 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6608 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6609 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6610 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6611 differing sizes.
6612 [Richard Levitte]
6613
6614 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6615
6616 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6617 sensitive data.
6618 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6619
6620 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6621 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6622 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6623 [Bodo Moeller]
6624
6625 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6626 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6627 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6628 [Victor Duchovni]
6629
6630 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6631 [Steve Henson]
6632
6633 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6634 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6635 [Steve Henson]
6636
6637 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6638 run algorithm test programs.
6639 [Steve Henson]
6640
6641 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6642 [Steve Henson]
6643
6644 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6645 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6646 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6647 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6648 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6649 [Bodo Moeller]
6650
6651 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6652 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6653 [Steve Henson]
6654
6655 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6656
6657 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6658 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6659 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6660
6661 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6662 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6663
6664 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6665 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6666
6667 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6668 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6669 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6670
6671 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6672 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6673 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6674 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6675 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6676 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6677 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6678 [Bodo Moeller]
6679
6680 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6681
6682 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6683 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6684
6685 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6686 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6687 undesirable limitations.
6688 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6689
6690 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6691
6692 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6693 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6694 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6695
6696 The latter two were purportedly from
6697 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6698 appear there.
6699
6700 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6701 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6702 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6703 [Bodo Moeller]
6704
6705 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6706 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6707 [Bodo Moeller]
6708
6709 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6710
6711 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6712 module in FIPS mode.
6713 [Steve Henson]
6714
6715 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6716 [Steve Henson]
6717
6718 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6719 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6720 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6721 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6722 [Steve Henson]
6723
6724 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6725
6726 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6727 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6728 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6729 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6730 the difference induced by this change.
6731 [Andy Polyakov]
6732
6733 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6734
6735 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6736 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6737 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6738 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6739 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6740
6741 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6742 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6743 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6744
6745 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6746 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6747 [Steve Henson]
6748
6749 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6750 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6751 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6752 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6753 biased k.)
6754 [Bodo Moeller]
6755
6756 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6757 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6758 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6759 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6760 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6761
6762 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6763 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6764 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6765 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6766 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6767 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6768
6769 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6770
6771 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6772 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6773 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6774 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6775 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6776 [Bodo Moeller]
6777
6778 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6779 clients need.
6780 [Steve Henson]
6781
6782 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6783 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6784 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6785 [Steve Henson]
6786
6787 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6788 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6789 structures constant.
6790 [Steve Henson]
6791
6792 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6793
6794 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6795 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6796
6797 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6798 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6799 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6800 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6801 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6802 some needed definitions.
6803 [Steve Henson]
6804
6805 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6806 [Ulf Möller]
6807
6808 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6809 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6810 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6811 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6812 [Richard Levitte]
6813
6814 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6815
6816 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6817 server and client random values. Previously
6818 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6819 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6820
6821 This change has negligible security impact because:
6822
6823 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6824 data.
6825
6826 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6827 handshake.
6828
6829 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6830 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6831 values.
6832
6833 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6834 to our attention.
6835
6836 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6837
6838 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6839 [Ulf Möller]
6840
6841 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6842 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6843 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6844
6845 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6846 [Steve Henson]
6847
6848 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6849 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6850 [Andy Polyakov]
6851
6852 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6853 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6854 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6855
6856 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6857 [Steve Henson]
6858
6859 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6860 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6861 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6862 certificates.
6863 [Steve Henson]
6864
6865 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6866 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6867 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6868 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6869
6870 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6871 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6872 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6873 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6874 been given)
6875 [Richard Levitte]
6876
6877 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6878
6879 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6880 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6881 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6882 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6883 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6884 [Steve Henson]
6885
6886 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6887 [Steve Henson]
6888
6889 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6890 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6891
6892 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6893 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6894 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6895 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6896 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6897 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6898 rather than being initialized to 1.
6899 [Steve Henson]
6900
6901 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6902
6903 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6904 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6905 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6906
6907 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6908 (CVE-2004-0112)
6909 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6910
6911 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6912 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6913 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6914 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6915 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6916 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6917 [Richard Levitte]
6918
6919 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6920 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6921 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6922 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6923 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6924 for these cases.
6925 [Steve Henson]
6926
6927 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6928 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6929 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6930 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6931 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6932 [Steve Henson]
6933
6934 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6935 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6936 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6937 < 0.9.7.
6938 [Steve Henson]
6939
6940 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6941 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6942
6943 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6944 [Steve Henson]
6945
6946 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6947
6948 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6949
6950 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6951 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6952
6953 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6954
6955 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6956 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6957
6958 [Steve Henson]
6959
6960 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6961 exiting on the first error in a request.
6962 [Steve Henson]
6963
6964 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6965 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6966 specifications.
6967 [Steve Henson]
6968
6969 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6970 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6971 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6972 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6973
6974 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6975 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6976 [Richard Levitte]
6977
6978 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6979 blocks during encryption.
6980 [Richard Levitte]
6981
6982 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6983 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6984 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6985 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6986 certain size.
6987 [Steve Henson]
6988
6989 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6990 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6991 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6992 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6993 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6994 parser.
6995 [Steve Henson]
6996
6997 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6998
6999 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7000 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7001 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7002 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7003 [Bodo Moeller]
7004
7005 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7006 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7007 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7008 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7009 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7010
7011 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7012 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7013 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7014 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7015 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7016 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7017 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7018 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7019 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7020 [Bodo Moeller]
7021
7022 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7023 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7024 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7025 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7026 [Geoff Thorpe]
7027
7028 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7029 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7030 [Ulf Moeller]
7031
7032 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7033
7034 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7035 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7036 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7037 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7038 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7039
7040 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7041 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7042 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7043
7044 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7045 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7046 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7047 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7048 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7049
7050 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7051 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7052 used by default when no-err is given.
7053 [Richard Levitte]
7054
7055 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7056 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7057
7058 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7059 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7060 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7061 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7062 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7063
7064 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7065 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7066 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7067 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7068
7069 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7070
7071 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7072
7073 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7074
7075 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7076 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7077 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7078 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7079 root is omitted).
7080 [Steve Henson]
7081
7082 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7083 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7084
7085 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7086 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7087 [Steve Henson]
7088
7089 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7090 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7091 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7092 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7093 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7094
7095 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7096 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7097 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7098 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7099 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7100 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7101 followup to PR #377.
7102 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7103
7104 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7105 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7106 [Andy Polyakov]
7107
7108 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7109 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7110 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7111 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7112
7113 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7114
7115 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7116 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7117
7118 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7119 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7120 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7121 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7122 client and server.
7123 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7124 PR #377.
7125 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7126
7127 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7128 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7129 removed entirely.
7130 [Richard Levitte]
7131
7132 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7133 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7134 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7135 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7136 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7137 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7138 of libcrypto.
7139 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7140 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7141 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7142 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7143 have to be made anyway).
7144 [Richard Levitte]
7145
7146 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7147 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7148 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7149 [Steve Henson]
7150
7151 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7152 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7153 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7154 [Richard Levitte]
7155
7156 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7157 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7158 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7159
7160 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7161 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7162 edit numbers of the version.
7163 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7164
7165 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7166 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7167 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7168
7169 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7170 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7171
7172 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7173 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7174 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7175
7176 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7177 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7178
7179 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7180 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7181
7182 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7183 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7184
7185 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7187
7188 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7189 overflows.
7190 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7191
7192 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7193 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7194 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7195
7196 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7197 representations in a platform independent manner.
7198 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7199
7200 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7201 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7202 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7203
7204 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7205 indents.
7206 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7207
7208 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7209 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7210
7211 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7212 full. Fixed.
7213 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7214
7215 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7216 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7217 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7218
7219 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7220 unconditionally).
7221 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7222
7223 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7224 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7225
7226 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7228
7229 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7230 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7231
7232 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7233 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7234
7235 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7236 CBCParameter.
7237 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7238
7239 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7240 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7241
7242 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7244
7245 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7246 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7247 exploitable.
7248 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7249
7250 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7251 the 0.9.6 release series:
7252
7253 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7254 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7255 (CVE-2002-0657)
7256 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7257
7258 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7259 [Richard Levitte]
7260
7261 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7262 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7263
7264 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7265 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7266
7267 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7268 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7269 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7270 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7271
7272 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7273 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7274 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7275
7276 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7277 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7278 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7279 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7280
7281 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7282 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7283 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7284 some local tweaks:
7285
7286 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7287 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7288 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7289 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7290 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7291 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7292 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7293 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7294 done
7295
7296 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7297 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7298 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7299 [Richard Levitte]
7300
7301 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7302 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7303 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7304 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7305 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7306
7307 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7308 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7309
7310 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7311 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7312 [Richard Levitte]
7313
7314 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7315 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7316 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7317 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7318 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7319 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7320 [Steve Henson]
7321
7322 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7323 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7324 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7325 [Steve Henson]
7326
7327 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7328 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7329 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7330
7331 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7332 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7333 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7334 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7335 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7336 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7337 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7338 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7339
7340 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7341 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7342 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7343 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7344 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7345 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7346 [Steve Henson]
7347
7348 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7349 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7350 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7351 declaration has been changed from
7352 int (*cb)()
7353 into
7354 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7355 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7356 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7357 has been changed into
7358 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7359
7360 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7361 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7362 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7363
7364 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7365 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7366
7367 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7368 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7369 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7370 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7371 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7372 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7373 always load it have also been added.
7374 [Steve Henson]
7375
7376 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7377 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7378 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7379
7380 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7381
7382 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7383 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7384 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7385
7386 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7387 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7388 command line option can be used to specify an
7389 alternative file.
7390 [Steve Henson]
7391
7392 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7393 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7394 [Steve Henson]
7395
7396 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7397 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7398 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7399 [Steve Henson]
7400
7401 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7402 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7403 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7404 to work with the new engine framework.
7405 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7406
7407 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7408 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7409 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7410 to work with the new engine framework.
7411 [Richard Levitte]
7412
7413 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7414 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7415 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7416
7417 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7418 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7419
7420 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7421 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7422 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7423 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7424 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7425 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7426
7427 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7428 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7429
7430 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7431 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7432
7433 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7434 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7435 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7436 [Ben Laurie]
7437
7438 *) Add new functions
7439 ERR_peek_last_error
7440 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7441 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7442 These are similar to
7443 ERR_peek_error
7444 ERR_peek_error_line
7445 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7446 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7447 still in the error queue.
7448 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7449
7450 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7451 like:
7452 default_algorithms = ALL
7453 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7454 [Steve Henson]
7455
7456 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7457 [Steve Henson]
7458
7459 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7460 [Steve Henson]
7461
7462 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7463 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7464 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7465 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7466
7467 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7468 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7469
7470 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7471 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7472
7473 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7474 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7475 [Bodo Moeller]
7476
7477 *) New functions/macros
7478
7479 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7480 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7481 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7482 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7483
7484 to request calling a callback function
7485
7486 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7487 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7488
7489 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7490 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7491 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7492 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7493 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7494 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7495 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7496 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7497 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7498 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7499
7500 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7501 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7502 [Bodo Moeller]
7503
7504 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7505 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7506 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7507 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7508 the configuration scripts.
7509
7510 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7511 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7512 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7513
7514 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7515 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7516
7517 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7518 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7519 when reusing an existing buffer.
7520 [Bodo Moeller]
7521
7522 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7523 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7524 [Steve Henson]
7525
7526 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7527 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7528 [Ben Laurie]
7529
7530 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7531 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7532 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7533 has the same effect.
7534 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7535
7536 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7537 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7538 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7539 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7540 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7541 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7542 exception.
7543
7544 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7545 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7546 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7547 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7548
7549 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7550 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7551 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7552 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7553
7554 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7555 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7556 won't work.
7557
7558 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7559 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7560 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7561 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7562 default), and then completely removed.
7563 [Richard Levitte]
7564
7565 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7566 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7567 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7568 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7569 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7570 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7571 particular extension is supported.
7572 [Steve Henson]
7573
7574 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7575 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7576 [Steve Henson]
7577
7578 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7579 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7580 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7581 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7582 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7583 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7584 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7585 requires the destination to be valid.
7586
7587 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7588 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7589 [Steve Henson]
7590
7591 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7592 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7593 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7594 [Bodo Moeller]
7595
7596 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7597 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7598
7599 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7600 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7601 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7602 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7603 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7604 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7605 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7606 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7607 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7608 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7609 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7610 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7611 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7612 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7613 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7614 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7615 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7616 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7617 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7618 the new code.
7619 [Geoff Thorpe]
7620
7621 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7622 [Steve Henson]
7623
7624 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7625 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7626 become part of libeay.num as well.
7627 [Richard Levitte]
7628
7629 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7630 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7631 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7632 false once a handshake has been completed.
7633 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7634 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7635 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7636 client has followed the request.)
7637 [Bodo Moeller]
7638
7639 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7640 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7641 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7642 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7643
7644 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7645 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7646 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7647 [Bodo Moeller]
7648
7649 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7650 [Steve Henson]
7651
7652 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7653 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7654 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7655 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7656
7657 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7658 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7659 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7660
7661 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7662 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7663 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7664 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7665 [Geoff Thorpe]
7666
7667 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7668 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7669 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7670 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7671 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7672 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7673 [Geoff Thorpe]
7674
7675 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7676 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7677 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7678 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7679 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7680 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7681 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7682 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7683 [Geoff Thorpe]
7684
7685 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7686 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7687 [Geoff Thorpe]
7688
7689 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7690 [Ben Laurie]
7691
7692 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7693 md_data void pointer.
7694 [Ben Laurie]
7695
7696 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7697 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7698 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7699 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7700 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7701 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7702 [Ben Laurie]
7703
7704 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7705 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7706 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7707 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7708 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7709 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7710 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7711 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7712 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7713 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7714 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7715 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7716 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7717 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7718 rather than letting it slide.
7719
7720 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7721 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7722 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7723 [Geoff Thorpe]
7724
7725 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7726 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7727 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7728 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7729 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7730 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7731 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7732 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7733 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7734 [Geoff Thorpe]
7735
7736 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7737 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7738 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7739 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7740 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7741
7742 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7743 [Geoff Thorpe]
7744
7745 *) Add EVP test program.
7746 [Ben Laurie]
7747
7748 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7749 [Ben Laurie]
7750
7751 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7752 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7753 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7754 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7755 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7756 [Steve Henson]
7757
7758 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7759 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7760 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7761 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7762 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7763 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7764 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7765
7766 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7767 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7768 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7769 Usage example:
7770
7771 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7772
7773 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7774 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7775 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7776 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7777 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7778
7779 [Ben Laurie]
7780
7781 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7782 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7783 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7784 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7785 anyway): E.g.,
7786
7787 des_key_schedule ks;
7788
7789 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7790 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7791
7792 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7793 [Ben Laurie]
7794
7795 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7796 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7797 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7798 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7799 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7800 functions prevents this.
7801 [Steve Henson]
7802
7803 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7804 [Ben Laurie]
7805
7806 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7807 correct _ecb suffix.
7808 [Ben Laurie]
7809
7810 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7811 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7812 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7813 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7814 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7815 [Steve Henson]
7816
7817 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7818 [Richard Levitte]
7819
7820 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7821 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7822 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7823 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7824
7825 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7826 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7827
7828 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7829 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7830 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7831 via Richard Levitte]
7832
7833 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7834 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7835 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7836 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7837 [Geoff Thorpe]
7838
7839 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7840 Before:
7841 encrypt
7842 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

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