10 Changes between 1.0.2s and 1.0.2t [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_decrypt() and CMS_decrypt(). In situations
13 where an attacker receives automated notification of the success or failure
14 of a decryption attempt an attacker, after sending a very large number of
15 messages to be decrypted, can recover a CMS/PKCS7 transported encryption
16 key or decrypt any RSA encrypted message that was encrypted with the public
17 RSA key, using a Bleichenbacher padding oracle attack. Applications are not
18 affected if they use a certificate together with the private RSA key to the
19 CMS_decrypt or PKCS7_decrypt functions to select the correct recipient info
20 to decrypt.
21 (CVE-2019-1563)
22 [Bernd Edlinger]
23
24 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
25 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
26 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
27 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
28 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
29 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
30 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
31 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
32 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
33 [Nicola Tuveri]
34
35 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
36 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
37 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
38 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
39 (CVE-2019-1547)
40 [Billy Bob Brumley]
41
42 *) Document issue with installation paths in diverse Windows builds
43
44 '/usr/local/ssl' is an unsafe prefix for location to install OpenSSL
45 binaries and run-time config file.
46 (CVE-2019-1552)
47 [Richard Levitte]
48
49 Changes between 1.0.2r and 1.0.2s [28 May 2019]
50
51 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
52 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
53 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
54 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
55 [Kurt Roeckx]
56
57 *) Add FIPS support for Android Arm 64-bit
58
59 Support for Android Arm 64-bit was added to the OpenSSL FIPS Object
60 Module in Version 2.0.10. For some reason, the corresponding target
61 'android64-aarch64' was missing OpenSSL 1.0.2, whence it could not be
62 built with FIPS support on Android Arm 64-bit. This omission has been
63 fixed.
64 [Matthias St. Pierre]
65
66 Changes between 1.0.2q and 1.0.2r [26 Feb 2019]
67
68 *) 0-byte record padding oracle
69
70 If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls
71 SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a close_notify, and once to receive one)
72 then OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application if a 0 byte
73 record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0 byte record is
74 received with an invalid MAC. If the application then behaves differently
75 based on that in a way that is detectable to the remote peer, then this
76 amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data.
77
78 In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in
79 use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised implementations of certain
80 commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call SSL_shutdown()
81 twice even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do
82 this but some do anyway).
83
84 This issue was discovered by Juraj Somorovsky, Robert Merget and Nimrod
85 Aviram, with additional investigation by Steven Collison and Andrew
86 Hourselt. It was reported to OpenSSL on 10th December 2018.
87 (CVE-2019-1559)
88 [Matt Caswell]
89
90 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
91 [Richard Levitte]
92
93 Changes between 1.0.2p and 1.0.2q [20 Nov 2018]
94
95 *) Microarchitecture timing vulnerability in ECC scalar multiplication
96
97 OpenSSL ECC scalar multiplication, used in e.g. ECDSA and ECDH, has been
98 shown to be vulnerable to a microarchitecture timing side channel attack.
99 An attacker with sufficient access to mount local timing attacks during
100 ECDSA signature generation could recover the private key.
101
102 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th October 2018 by Alejandro
103 Cabrera Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Cesar Pereida Garcia and
104 Nicola Tuveri.
105 (CVE-2018-5407)
106 [Billy Brumley]
107
108 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
109
110 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
111 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
112 algorithm to recover the private key.
113
114 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
115 (CVE-2018-0734)
116 [Paul Dale]
117
118 *) Resolve a compatibility issue in EC_GROUP handling with the FIPS Object
119 Module, accidentally introduced while backporting security fixes from the
120 development branch and hindering the use of ECC in FIPS mode.
121 [Nicola Tuveri]
122
123 Changes between 1.0.2o and 1.0.2p [14 Aug 2018]
124
125 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
126
127 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
128 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
129 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
130 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
131 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
132
133 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
134 (CVE-2018-0732)
135 [Guido Vranken]
136
137 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
138
139 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
140 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
141 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
142 recover the private key.
143
144 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
145 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
146 (CVE-2018-0737)
147 [Billy Brumley]
148
149 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
150 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
151 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
152 [Richard Levitte]
153
154 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
155 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
156 [Andy Polyakov]
157
158 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
159 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
160 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
161 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
162 to 2^-128.
163 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
164
165 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
166 [Kurt Roeckx]
167
168 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
169 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
170 [Matt Caswell]
171
172 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
173 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
174 [Richard Levitte]
175
176 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
177 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
178 are no longer allowed.
179 [Emilia Käsper]
180
181 Changes between 1.0.2n and 1.0.2o [27 Mar 2018]
182
183 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
184
185 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
186 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
187 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
188 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
189 so this is considered safe.
190
191 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
192 project.
193 (CVE-2018-0739)
194 [Matt Caswell]
195
196 Changes between 1.0.2m and 1.0.2n [7 Dec 2017]
197
198 *) Read/write after SSL object in error state
199
200 OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error state"
201 mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred during a handshake
202 then OpenSSL would move into the error state and would immediately fail if
203 you attempted to continue the handshake. This works as designed for the
204 explicit handshake functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and
205 SSL_connect()), however due to a bug it does not work correctly if
206 SSL_read() or SSL_write() is called directly. In that scenario, if the
207 handshake fails then a fatal error will be returned in the initial function
208 call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is subsequently called by the application
209 for the same SSL object then it will succeed and the data is passed without
210 being decrypted/encrypted directly from the SSL/TLS record layer.
211
212 In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to be present
213 that resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write() being issued after having
214 already received a fatal error.
215
216 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).
217 (CVE-2017-3737)
218 [Matt Caswell]
219
220 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
221
222 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
223 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
224 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
225 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
226 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
227 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
228 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
229 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
230 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
231 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
232
233 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
234 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
235
236 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
237 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
238 (CVE-2017-3738)
239 [Andy Polyakov]
240
241 Changes between 1.0.2l and 1.0.2m [2 Nov 2017]
242
243 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
244
245 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
246 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
247 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
248 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
249 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
250 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
251 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
252 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
253 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
254 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
255 key that is shared between multiple clients.
256
257 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
258 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
259
260 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
261 (CVE-2017-3736)
262 [Andy Polyakov]
263
264 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
265
266 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
267 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
268 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
269
270 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
271 (CVE-2017-3735)
272 [Rich Salz]
273
274 Changes between 1.0.2k and 1.0.2l [25 May 2017]
275
276 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
277 platform rather than 'mingw'.
278 [Richard Levitte]
279
280 Changes between 1.0.2j and 1.0.2k [26 Jan 2017]
281
282 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
283
284 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
285 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
286 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
287
288 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
289 (CVE-2017-3731)
290 [Andy Polyakov]
291
292 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
293
294 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
295 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
296 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
297 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
298 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
299 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
300 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
301 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
302 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
303 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
304 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
305 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
306 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
307
308 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
309 (CVE-2017-3732)
310 [Andy Polyakov]
311
312 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
313
314 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
315 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
316 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
317 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
318 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
319 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
320 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
321 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
322 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
323 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
324 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
325 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
326 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
327 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
328
329 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
330 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
331 providing reproducible case.
332 (CVE-2016-7055)
333 [Andy Polyakov]
334
335 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
336 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
337 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
338 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
339 [Matt Caswell]
340
341 Changes between 1.0.2i and 1.0.2j [26 Sep 2016]
342
343 *) Missing CRL sanity check
344
345 A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
346 but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use
347 CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception.
348
349 This issue only affects the OpenSSL 1.0.2i
350 (CVE-2016-7052)
351 [Matt Caswell]
352
353 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.0.2i [22 Sep 2016]
354
355 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
356
357 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
358 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
359 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
360 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
361 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
362 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
363 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
364
365 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
366 (CVE-2016-6304)
367 [Matt Caswell]
368
369 *) In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
370 HIGH to MEDIUM.
371
372 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
373 Leurent (INRIA)
374 (CVE-2016-2183)
375 [Rich Salz]
376
377 *) OOB write in MDC2_Update()
378
379 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
380 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
381 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
382 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
383 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
384
385 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
386 on most platforms.
387
388 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
389 (CVE-2016-6303)
390 [Stephen Henson]
391
392 *) Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
393
394 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
395 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
396 ultimately crash.
397
398 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
399 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
400
401 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
402 (CVE-2016-6302)
403 [Stephen Henson]
404
405 *) OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
406
407 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
408 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
409 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
410 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
411 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
412
413 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
414 (CVE-2016-2182)
415 [Stephen Henson]
416
417 *) OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
418
419 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
420 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
421 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
422 presented.
423
424 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
425 (CVE-2016-2180)
426 [Stephen Henson]
427
428 *) Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
429
430 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
431
432 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
433 "p + len > limit"
434
435 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
436 limit == p + SIZE
437
438 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
439 message).
440
441 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
442 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
443 undefined behaviour.
444
445 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
446 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
447 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
448
449 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
450 (CVE-2016-2177)
451 [Matt Caswell]
452
453 *) Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
454
455 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
456 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
457 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
458 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
459 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
460
461 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
462 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
463 Adelaide and NICTA).
464 (CVE-2016-2178)
465 [César Pereida]
466
467 *) DTLS buffered message DoS
468
469 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
470 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
471 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
472 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
473 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
474 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
475 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
476 a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
477 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
478 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
479
480 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
481 (CVE-2016-2179)
482 [Matt Caswell]
483
484 *) DTLS replay protection DoS
485
486 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
487 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
488 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
489 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
490 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
491 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
492 service for a specific DTLS connection.
493
494 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
495 (CVE-2016-2181)
496 [Matt Caswell]
497
498 *) Certificate message OOB reads
499
500 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
501 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
502 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
503 platforms.
504
505 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
506 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
507 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
508
509 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
510 (CVE-2016-6306)
511 [Stephen Henson]
512
513 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
514
515 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
516
517 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
518 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
519 AES-NI.
520
521 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
522 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
523 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
524 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
525 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
526 bytes.

530 [Kurt Roeckx]
531
532 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
533
534 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
535 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
536 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
537 corruption.
538
539 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly used by
540 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
541 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
542 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
543 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
544 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
545
546 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
547 (CVE-2016-2105)
548 [Matt Caswell]
549
550 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
551
552 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
553 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
554 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
555 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
556 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
557 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
558 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
559 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
560 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
561 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
562 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
563 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
564 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
565 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
566 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
567 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

571 [Matt Caswell]
572
573 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
574
575 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
576 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
577 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
578
579 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
580 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
581 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
582 applications are not affected.
583
584 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
585 (CVE-2016-2109)
586 [Stephen Henson]
587
588 *) EBCDIC overread
589
590 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
591 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
592 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
593
594 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.

609
610 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
611
612 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
613 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
614 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
615 [Viktor Dukhovni]
616
617 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
618 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
619 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
620 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
621 will need to explicitly call either of:
622
623 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
624 or
625 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
626
627 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
628 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
629 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
630 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
631 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
632 (CVE-2016-0800)
633 [Viktor Dukhovni]
634
635 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
636
637 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
638 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
639 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
640 considered rare.
641
642 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
643 libFuzzer.
644 (CVE-2016-0705)
645 [Stephen Henson]
646
647 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
648
649 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
650
651 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
652 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
653 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
654 is configured.
655
656 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
657 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
658 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
659 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
660 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
661 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
662 that of a valid user.
663 (CVE-2016-0798)
664 [Emilia Käsper]
665
666 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
667
668 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
669 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
670 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
671 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
672 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
673 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
674 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
675 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
676 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
677 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
678 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
679
680 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
681 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
682 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
683 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
684 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
685
686 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
687 (CVE-2016-0797)
688 [Matt Caswell]
689
690 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
691
692 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
693 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
694 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
695
696 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
697 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
698 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
699 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
700 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
701 also occur.
702
703 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
704 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
705 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
706 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
707 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
708 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
709 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
710 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
711 as command line arguments.
712
713 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
714 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
715 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
716
717 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
718 (CVE-2016-0799)
719 [Matt Caswell]
720
721 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
722
723 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
724 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
725 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
726 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
727 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
728
729 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
730 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
731 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at

737 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
738 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
739 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

741
742 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
743
744 *) DH small subgroups
745
746 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
747 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
748 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
749 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
750 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
751 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
752 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
753 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
754 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
755 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
756
757 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
758 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
759 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
760 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
761 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
762
763 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
764 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
765 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
766 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
767
768 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
769 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

773 [Matt Caswell]
774
775 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
776
777 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
778 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
779 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
780 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

791
792 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
793
794 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
795 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
796 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
797 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
798 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
799 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
800 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
801 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
802 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
803 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
804 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
805 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

811 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
812
813 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
814 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
815 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
816 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
817 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
818 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
819 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
820 authentication.

827
828 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak

830 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
831 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

850 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
851
852 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
853 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
854 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
855 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
856 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
857 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

865
866 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then

882
883 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
884 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
885 field.
886
887 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
888 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
889 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
890 client authentication enabled.
891
892 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.

894 [Andy Polyakov]
895
896 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
897
898 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
899 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
900 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
901 time string.
902
903 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
904 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
905 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
906 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
907 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
908 callbacks.

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

947 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
948 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
949 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
950 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
951 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
952 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.

975
976 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
977
978 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
979 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
980 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
981 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
982 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
983 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
984 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
985 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.

988 (CVE-2015-0290)
989 [Matt Caswell]
990
991 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
992
993 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
994 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
995 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
996 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
997 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
998 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
999 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1000 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1001 server.

1008
1009 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1010 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1011 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1012 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any

1022 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1023 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any

1029 (CVE-2015-0208)
1030 [Stephen Henson]
1031
1032 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1033
1034 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1035 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1036 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1037
1038 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1039 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1040 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1041 not affected.
1042 (CVE-2015-0287)
1043 [Stephen Henson]
1044
1045 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1046
1047 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1048 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1049 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1050
1051 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1052 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1053 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1054
1055 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1056 (CVE-2015-0289)
1057 [Emilia Käsper]
1058
1059 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1060
1061 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1062 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1063 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1064
1065 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1066 (OpenSSL development team).
1067 (CVE-2015-0293)
1068 [Emilia Käsper]
1069
1070 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1071
1072 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1073 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1074 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1075 (CVE-2015-1787)
1076 [Matt Caswell]
1077
1078 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1079
1080 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1081 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1082 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1083 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1084 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1085 SSL_client_methodv23)
1086 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1087 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1088
1089 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1090 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1091 output may be predictable.
1092
1093 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1094 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1095
1096 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1097 (CVE-2015-0285)
1098 [Matt Caswell]
1099
1100 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1101
1102 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1103 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1104 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1105 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1106 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1107 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1108
1109 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1110 commit 517073cd4b.
1111 (CVE-2015-0209)
1112 [Matt Caswell]
1113
1114 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1115
1116 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1117 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1118
1119 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1120 (CVE-2015-0288)
1121 [Stephen Henson]
1122
1123 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1124 [Kurt Roeckx]
1125
1126 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1127
1128 *) Change RSA and DH/DSA key generation apps to generate 2048-bit
1129 keys by default.
1130 [Kurt Roeckx]
1131
1132 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1133 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1134 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
1135 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1136 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1137 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1138 [Andy Polyakov]
1139
1140 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1141 (other platforms pending).
1142 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1143
1144 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1145 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1146 [Rob Stradling]
1147
1148 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1149 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1150 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1151 [Bodo Moeller]
1152
1153 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1154 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1155 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1156 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1157 [Andy Polyakov]
1158
1159 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1160 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1161
1162 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1163 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1164 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1165 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1166 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1167
1168 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1169 [Andy Polyakov]
1170
1171 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1172 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1173 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1174 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1175
1176 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1177 RSAZ.
1178 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1179
1180 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1181 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1182 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1183 for TLS encrypt.
1184
1185 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1186 [Andy Polyakov]
1187
1188 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1189 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1190 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1191 [Steve Henson]
1192
1193 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1194 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1195 [Steve Henson]
1196
1197 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1198 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1199 [Steve Henson]
1200
1201 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1202 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1203 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1204 algorithms and include tests cases.
1205 [Steve Henson]
1206
1207 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1208 structure.
1209 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1210
1211 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1212 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1213 [Steve Henson]
1214
1215 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1216 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1217 summary of the connection parameters.
1218 [Steve Henson]
1219
1220 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1221 of connection parameters.
1222 [Steve Henson]
1223
1224 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1225 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1226
1227 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1228 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1229 [Steve Henson]
1230
1231 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1232 [Steve Henson]
1233
1234 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1235 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1236 [Steve Henson]
1237
1238 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1239 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1240 [Steve Henson]
1241
1242 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1243 certificates.
1244 [Steve Henson]
1245
1246 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1247 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1248 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1249 [Steve Henson]
1250
1251 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1252 [Steve Henson]
1253
1254 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1255 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1256 [Steve Henson]
1257
1258 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1259 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1260 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1261 tracing.
1262 [Steve Henson]
1263
1264 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1265 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1266 [Steve Henson]
1267
1268 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1269 OID NID.
1270 [Steve Henson]
1271
1272 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1273 client to OpenSSL.
1274 [Steve Henson]
1275
1276 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1277 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1278 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1279 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1280 [Steve Henson]
1281
1282 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1283 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1284 [Steve Henson]
1285
1286 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1287 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1288 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1289 comparison.
1290 [Steve Henson]
1291
1292 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1293 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1294 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1295 use the certificate.
1296 [Steve Henson]
1297
1298 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1299 [Steve Henson]
1300
1301 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1302 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1303 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1304 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1305 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1306 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1307 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1308
1309 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1310 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1311
1312 [Steve Henson]
1313
1314 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1315 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1316 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1317 [Steve Henson]
1318
1319 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1320 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1321 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1322 supported signature algorithms.
1323 [Steve Henson]
1324
1325 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1326 [Steve Henson]
1327
1328 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1329 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1330 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1331 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1332 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1333 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1334 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1335 [Steve Henson]
1336
1337 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1338 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1339 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1340 to have similar checks in it.
1341
1342 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1343 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1344 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1345 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1346 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1347 [Steve Henson]
1348
1349 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1350 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1351 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1352 shared signature algorithms.
1353 [Steve Henson]
1354
1355 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1356 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1357 to support them.
1358 [Steve Henson]
1359
1360 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1361 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1362 it couldn't be removed.
1363 [Steve Henson]
1364
1365 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1366 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1367 [Steve Henson]
1368
1369 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1370 functions. Add manual page.
1371 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1372
1373 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1374 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1375 a certificate.
1376 [Steve Henson]
1377
1378 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1379 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1380
1381 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1382 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1383 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1384 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1385 utility) or reject.
1386 [Steve Henson]
1387
1388 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1389 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1390 [Steve Henson]
1391
1392 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1393 platform support for Linux and Android.
1394 [Andy Polyakov]
1395
1396 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1397 [Andy Polyakov]
1398
1399 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1400 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1401 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1402 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1403 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1404 [Steve Henson]
1405
1406 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1407 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1408 the new parameter format automatically.
1409 [Steve Henson]
1410
1411 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1412 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1413 [Steve Henson]
1414
1415 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1416 [Steve Henson]
1417
1418 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1419 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1420 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1421 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1422 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1423 [Steve Henson]
1424
1425 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1426 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1427 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1428 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1429 to set list of supported curves.
1430 [Steve Henson]
1431
1432 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1433 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1434 to print out received values.
1435 [Steve Henson]
1436
1437 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1438 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1439 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1440 [Steve Henson]
1441
1442 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1443 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1444 [Steve Henson]
1445
1446 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1447 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1448 [Steve Henson]
1449
1450 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1451 certificates.
1452 [Steve Henson]
1453
1454 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1455 the certificate.
1456 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1457 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1458 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1459
1460 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1461
1462 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1463 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1464
1465 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1466
1467 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1468 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1469 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1470 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1471 (CVE-2014-3571)
1472 [Steve Henson]
1473
1474 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1475 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1476 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1477 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1478 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1479 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1480 (CVE-2015-0206)
1481 [Matt Caswell]
1482
1483 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1484 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1485 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1486 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1487 (CVE-2014-3569)
1488 [Kurt Roeckx]
1489
1490 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1491 ECDH ciphersuites.
1492
1493 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1494 reporting this issue.
1495 (CVE-2014-3572)
1496 [Steve Henson]
1497
1498 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1499 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1500 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1501 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1502 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1503 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1504 (CVE-2015-0204)
1505 [Steve Henson]
1506
1507 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1508 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1509 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1510 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1511 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1512 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1513 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1514 this issue.
1515 (CVE-2015-0205)
1516 [Steve Henson]
1517
1518 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1519 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1520
1521 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1522 and can vary with the CTX.
1523 [Adam Langley]
1524
1525 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1526
1527 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1528 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1529 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1530 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1531 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1532
1533 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1534
1535 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1536 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1537
1538 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1539
1540 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1541 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1542 errors for some broken certificates.
1543
1544 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1545
1546 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1547
1548 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1549 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1550
1551 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1552 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1553 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1554 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1555
1556 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1557 of the OpenSSL core team.
1558
1559 (CVE-2014-8275)
1560 [Steve Henson]
1561
1562 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1563 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1564 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1565 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1566 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1567 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1568 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1569 the OpenSSL core team.
1570 (CVE-2014-3570)
1571 [Andy Polyakov]
1572
1573 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1574 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1575 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1576 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1577 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1578
1579 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1580 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1581 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1582 [Emilia Käsper]
1583
1584 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1585 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1586 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1587 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1588 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1589
1590 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1591 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1592 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1593 [Emilia Käsper]
1594
1595 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1596
1597 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1598
1599 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1600 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1601 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1602 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1603 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1604 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1605 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1606
1607 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1608 (CVE-2014-3513)
1609 [OpenSSL team]
1610
1611 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1612
1613 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1614 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1615 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1616 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1617 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1618 attack.
1619 (CVE-2014-3567)
1620 [Steve Henson]
1621
1622 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1623
1624 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1625 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1626 configured to send them.
1627 (CVE-2014-3568)
1628 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1629
1630 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1631 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1632 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1633 (CVE-2014-3566)
1634 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1635
1636 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1637
1638 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1639 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1640 DigestInfo structures.
1641
1642 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1643
1644 [Steve Henson]
1645
1646 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1647
1648 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1649 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1650 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1651
1652 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1653 Group for discovering this issue.
1654 (CVE-2014-3512)
1655 [Steve Henson]
1656
1657 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1658 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1659 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1660 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1661 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1662
1663 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1664 researching this issue.
1665 (CVE-2014-3511)
1666 [David Benjamin]
1667
1668 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1669 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1670 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1671 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1672
1673 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1674 issue.
1675 (CVE-2014-3510)
1676 [Emilia Käsper]
1677
1678 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1679 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1680 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1681 (CVE-2014-3507)
1682 [Adam Langley]
1683
1684 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1685 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1686 Denial of Service attack.
1687 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1688 (CVE-2014-3506)
1689 [Adam Langley]
1690
1691 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1692 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1693 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1694 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1695 this issue.
1696 (CVE-2014-3505)
1697 [Adam Langley]
1698
1699 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1700 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1701 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1702
1703 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1704 issue.
1705 (CVE-2014-3509)
1706 [Gabor Tyukasz]
1707
1708 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1709 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1710 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1711 Denial of Service attack.
1712
1713 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1714 discovering and researching this issue.
1715 (CVE-2014-5139)
1716 [Steve Henson]
1717
1718 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1719 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1720 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1721 output to the attacker.
1722
1723 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1724 (CVE-2014-3508)
1725 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1726
1727 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1728 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1729 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1730 [Bodo Moeller]
1731
1732 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1733
1734 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1735 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1736 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1737
1738 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1739 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1740 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1741
1742 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1743 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1744 in a DoS attack.
1745
1746 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1747 (CVE-2014-0221)
1748 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1749
1750 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1751 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1752 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1753 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1754
1755 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1756 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1757
1758 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1759 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1760
1761 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1762 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1763 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1764
1765 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1766 compilation flags.
1767 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1768
1769 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1770 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1771 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1772
1773 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1774 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1775
1776 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1777
1778 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1779 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1780 server.
1781
1782 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1783 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1784 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1785 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1786
1787 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1788 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1789 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1790 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1791
1792 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1793 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1794 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1795
1796 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1797
1798 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1799 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1800 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1801 is at least 512 bytes long.
1802
1803 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1804
1805 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1806
1807 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1808 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1809 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1810 (CVE-2013-4353)
1811
1812 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1813 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1814 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1815 [Steve Henson]
1816
1817 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1818 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1819 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1820 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1821 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1822 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1823 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1824
1825 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1826
1827 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1828 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1829 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1830
1831 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1832
1833 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1834
1835 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1836 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1837 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1838
1839 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1840 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1841 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1842 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1843 (CVE-2013-0169)
1844 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1845
1846 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1847 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1848 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1849 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1850 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1851 (CVE-2012-2686)
1852 [Adam Langley]
1853
1854 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1855 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1856 [Steve Henson]
1857
1858 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1859 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1860
1861 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1862 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1863 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1864 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1865 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1866
1867 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1868 [Steve Henson]
1869
1870 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1871 if renegotiating.
1872 [Steve Henson]
1873
1874 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1875
1876 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1877 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1878
1879 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1880 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1881 (CVE-2012-2333)
1882 [Steve Henson]
1883
1884 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1885 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1886 [Steve Henson]
1887
1888 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1889 approved.
1890 [Steve Henson]
1891
1892 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1893
1894 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1895 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1896 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1897 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1898 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1899 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1900 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1901 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1902 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1903 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1904 [Steve Henson]
1905
1906 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1907 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1908 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1909 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1910 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1911 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1912 client side.
1913 [Andy Polyakov]
1914
1915 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1916
1917 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1918 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1919 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1920
1921 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1922 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1923 (CVE-2012-2110)
1924 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1925
1926 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1927 [Adam Langley]
1928
1929 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1930 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1931
1932 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1933 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1934 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1935 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1936 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1937 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1938 Most broken servers should now work.
1939 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1940 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1941 [Steve Henson]
1942
1943 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1944 [Andy Polyakov]
1945
1946 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1947
1948 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1949 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1950 [Steve Henson]
1951
1952 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1953 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1954 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1955 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1956 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1957 [Steve Henson]
1958
1959 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1960 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1961 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
1962 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1963 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1964 [Steve Henson]
1965
1966 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1967 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1968
1969 *) Add support for SCTP.
1970 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1971
1972 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1973 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1974
1975 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1976
1977 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1978 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1979 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1980 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1981 - s390x: z196 support;
1982 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1983
1984 [Andy Polyakov]
1985
1986 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1987 (removal of unnecessary code)
1988 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1989
1990 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1991 [Eric Rescorla]
1992
1993 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1994 [Eric Rescorla]
1995
1996 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1997 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1998 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1999 by Google.
2000 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2001
2002 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2003 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2004 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2005 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2006 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2007
2008 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2009 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2010 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2011
2012 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2013 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2014 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2015
2016 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2017 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2018 implementations).
2019 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2020
2021 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2022 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2023 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2024 [Steve Henson]
2025
2026 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2027 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2028 particular PSS.
2029 [Steve Henson]
2030
2031 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2032 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2033 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2034 [Steve Henson]
2035
2036 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2037 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2038 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2039 the appropriate parameters.
2040 [Steve Henson]
2041
2042 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2043 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2044 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2045 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2046 against a number of sample certificates.
2047 [Steve Henson]
2048
2049 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2050 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2051
2052 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2053 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2054
2055 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2056 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2057 parameters r, s.
2058 [Steve Henson]
2059
2060 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2061 RFC3211.
2062 [Steve Henson]
2063
2064 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2065 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2066 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2067 password based CMS).
2068 [Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) Session-handling fixes:
2071 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2072 but also support Session Tickets.
2073 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2074 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2075 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2076 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2077 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2078 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2079
2080 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2081 [Bodo Moeller]
2082
2083 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2084
2085 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2086 [Andy Polyakov]
2087
2088 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2089 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2090 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2091 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
2092 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2093 [Steve Henson]
2094
2095 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2096 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2097 [Steve Henson]
2098
2099 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2100 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2101 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2102 [Steve Henson]
2103
2104 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2105 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
2106 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
2107 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2108 [Steve Henson]
2109
2110 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2111 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2112 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2113 [Steve Henson]
2114
2115 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2116 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2117
2118 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2119 [Steve Henson]
2120
2121 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2122 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2123 [Steve Henson]
2124
2125 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2126 [Steve Henson]
2127
2128 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2129 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2130 [Steve Henson]
2131
2132 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2133 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2134 [Steve Henson]
2135
2136 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2137 [Steve Henson]
2138
2139 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2140 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2141 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2142 [Steve Henson]
2143
2144 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2145 [Steve Henson]
2146
2147 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2148 [Steve Henson]
2149
2150 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2151 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2152 [Steve Henson]
2153
2154 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2155 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2156 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2157 [Steve Henson]
2158
2159 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2160 [Steve Henson]
2161
2162 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2163 and enable MD5.
2164 [Steve Henson]
2165
2166 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2167 FIPS modules versions.
2168 [Steve Henson]
2169
2170 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2171 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2172 until after the certificate request message is received.
2173 [Steve Henson]
2174
2175 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2176 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2177 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2178 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2179 [Steve Henson]
2180
2181 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2182 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2183 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2184 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2185 [Steve Henson]
2186
2187 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2188 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2189 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2190 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2191 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2192 and version checking.
2193 [Steve Henson]
2194
2195 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2196 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2197 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2198 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2199 [Steve Henson]
2200
2201 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
2202 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
2203 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
2204 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
2205 Ben Laurie]
2206
2207 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2208 [Steve Henson]
2209
2210 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2211 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2212 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2213
2214 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2215 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2216 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2217 [Steve Henson]
2218
2219 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2220 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2221
2222 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2223 a few changes are required:
2224
2225 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2226 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2227 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2228 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2229 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2230 [Steve Henson]
2231
2232 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2233
2234 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2235 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2236 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2237 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2238 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2239 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2240 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2241 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2242 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2243 [Steve Henson]
2244
2245 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2246 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2247 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2248 [Steve Henson]
2249
2250 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2251
2252 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2253 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2254 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2255 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2256 [Antonio Martin]
2257
2258 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2259
2260 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2261 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2262 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2263 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2264 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2265 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2266 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2267 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2268 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2269 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2270 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2271 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2272 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2273
2274 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2275 (CVE-2011-4576)
2276 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2277
2278 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2279 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2280 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2281 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2282
2283 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2284 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2285
2286 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2287 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2288 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2289 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2290
2291 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2292 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2293
2294 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2295 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2296
2297 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2298 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2299
2300 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2301 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2302 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2303
2304 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2305 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2306 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2307
2308 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2309 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2310 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2311 the last update always remained unused).
2312 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2313
2314 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2315 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2316
2317 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2318
2319 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2320 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2321 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2322
2323 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2324 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2325 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2326
2327 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2328 [Bodo Moeller]
2329
2330 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2331 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2332 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2333 [Steve Henson]
2334
2335 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2336 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2337
2338 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2339
2340 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2341
2342 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2343
2344 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2345 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2346
2347 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2348 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2349 ambiguous.
2350 [Steve Henson]
2351
2352 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2353
2354 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2355 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2356 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2357 [Steve Henson]
2358
2359 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2360 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2361 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2362 [Ben Laurie]
2363
2364 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2365
2366 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2367 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2368 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2369 [Steve Henson]
2370
2371 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2372 a DLL.
2373 [Steve Henson]
2374
2375 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2376
2377 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2378 (CVE-2010-1633)
2379 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2380
2381 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2382
2383 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2384 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2385 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2386 [Steve Henson]
2387
2388 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2389 [Steve Henson]
2390
2391 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2392 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2393 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2394
2395 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2396 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2397 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2398 [Steve Henson]
2399
2400 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2401 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2402 [Steve Henson]
2403
2404 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2405 some responders need this.
2406 [Steve Henson]
2407
2408 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2409 correctly.
2410 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2411
2412 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2413 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2414 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2415 [Steve Henson]
2416
2417 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2418 [Steve Henson]
2419
2420 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2421 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2422 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2423 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2424 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2425 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2426 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2427 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2428 [Steve Henson]
2429
2430 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2431 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2432 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2433 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2434
2435 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2436 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2437
2438 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2439 be used on C++.
2440 [Steve Henson]
2441
2442 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2443 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2444 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2445 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2446 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2447 attempting to work them out.
2448 [Steve Henson]
2449
2450 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2451 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2452 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2453 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2454 [Steve Henson]
2455
2456 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2457 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2458 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2459 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2460 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2461 [Steve Henson]
2462
2463 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2464 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2465 you can do:
2466
2467 openssl sha256 foo
2468
2469 as well as:
2470
2471 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2472
2473 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2474
2475 [Steve Henson]
2476
2477 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2478 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2479
2480 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2481 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2482
2483 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2484 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2485 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2486 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2487 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2488 [Steve Henson]
2489
2490 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2491 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2492 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2493 [Steve Henson]
2494
2495 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2496 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2497 [Steve Henson]
2498
2499 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2500 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2501
2502 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2503 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2504 [Steve Henson]
2505
2506 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2507 [Ben Laurie]
2508
2509 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2510 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2511 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2512 CONF_VALUE.
2513 [Ben Laurie]
2514
2515 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2516 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2517 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2518 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2519 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2520 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2521 [Steve Henson]
2522
2523 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2524 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2525
2526 This work was sponsored by Google.
2527 [Steve Henson]
2528
2529 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2530 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2531 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2532 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2533 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2534 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2535 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2536 default.
2537
2538 This work was sponsored by Google.
2539 [Steve Henson]
2540
2541 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2542
2543 This work was sponsored by Google.
2544 [Steve Henson]
2545
2546 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2547 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2548 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2549 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2550
2551 This work was sponsored by Google.
2552 [Steve Henson]
2553
2554 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2555 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2556 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2557 CRL functionality in future.
2558
2559 This work was sponsored by Google.
2560 [Steve Henson]
2561
2562 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2563
2564 This work was sponsored by Google.
2565 [Steve Henson]
2566
2567 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2568 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2569
2570 This work was sponsored by Google.
2571 [Steve Henson]
2572
2573 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2574 and URI types are currently supported.
2575
2576 This work was sponsored by Google.
2577 [Steve Henson]
2578
2579 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2580 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2581 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2582 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2583 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2584 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2585 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2586 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2587
2588 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2589 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2590 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2591
2592 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2593 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2594 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2595 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2596
2597 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2598 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2599 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2600 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2601 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2602 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2603 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2604 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2605 of &errno.)
2606 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2607
2608 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2609 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2610 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2611
2612 This work was sponsored by Google.
2613 [Steve Henson]
2614
2615 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2616 [Ben Laurie]
2617
2618 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2619 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2620 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2621 [Ben Laurie]
2622
2623 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2624 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2625 [Nick Mathewson]
2626
2627 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2628 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2629 [Ben Laurie]
2630
2631 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2632 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2633 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2634 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2635 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2636 content types and variants.
2637 [Steve Henson]
2638
2639 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2640 [Steve Henson]
2641
2642 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2643 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2644 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2645 files from the associated perl scripts.
2646 [Steve Henson]
2647
2648 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2649 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2650 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2651
2652 *) s390x assembler pack.
2653 [Andy Polyakov]
2654
2655 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2656 "family."
2657 [Andy Polyakov]
2658
2659 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2660 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2661 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2662 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2663 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2664 to use. For example, specify an option
2665
2666 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2667
2668 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2669 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2670 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2671 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2672 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2673 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2674
2675 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2676 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2677 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2678 return non-zero for success.
2679
2680 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2681 by using
2682
2683 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2684 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2685
2686 where
2687
2688 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2689 void *arg;
2690
2691 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2692 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2693 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2694 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2695 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2696 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2697 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2698 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2699 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2700
2701 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2702 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2703 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2704 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2705 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2706 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2707
2708 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2709 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2710 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2711 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2712 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2713 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2714
2715 [Bodo Moeller]
2716
2717 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2718 MAC.
2719
2720 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2721
2722 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2723 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2724 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2725 supported.
2726
2727 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2728 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2729 SSL_SESSION.
2730
2731 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2732 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2733 with no application modification.
2734
2735 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2736 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2737
2738 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2739 or server extensions to be examined.
2740
2741 This work was sponsored by Google.
2742 [Steve Henson]
2743
2744 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2745 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2746 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2747
2748 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2749 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2750 ciphersuite support.
2751 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2752
2753 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2754 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2755 to output in BER and PEM format.
2756 [Steve Henson]
2757
2758 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2759 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2760 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2761 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2762 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2763 [Steve Henson]
2764
2765 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2766 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2767 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2768 utility.
2769 [Steve Henson]
2770
2771 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2772 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2773 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2774 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2775 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2776 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2777 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2778 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2779 enabled again.
2780
2781 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2782 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2783 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2784 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2785
2786 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2787 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2788 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2789 the default order.
2790 [Bodo Moeller]
2791
2792 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2793 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2794 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2795 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2796 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2797 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2798 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2799 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2800 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2801
2802 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2803 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2804 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2805 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2806 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2807 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2808 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2809 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2810 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2811 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2812 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2813 kinds of kludges.
2814
2815 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2816 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2817 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2818
2819 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2820 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2821 "CAMELLIA256".
2822 [Bodo Moeller]
2823
2824 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2825 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2826 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2827 [Nils Larsch]
2828
2829 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2830 it yet and it is largely untested.
2831 [Steve Henson]
2832
2833 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2834 [Nils Larsch]
2835
2836 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2837 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2838 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2839 [Steve Henson]
2840
2841 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2842 [Andy Polyakov]
2843
2844 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2845 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2846 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2847 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2848 [Steve Henson]
2849
2850 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2851 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2852 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2853 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2854 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2855 [Steve Henson]
2856
2857 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2858 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2859 [Cryptocom]
2860
2861 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2862 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2863 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2864 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2865 [Steve Henson]
2866
2867 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2868 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2869 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2870 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2871 [Steve Henson]
2872
2873 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2874 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2875 [Steve Henson]
2876
2877 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2878 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2879 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2880 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2881 [Steve Henson]
2882
2883 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2884 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2885 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2886 [Steve Henson]
2887
2888 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2889 utility.
2890 [Steve Henson]
2891
2892 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2893 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2894 [Steve Henson]
2895
2896 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2897 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2898 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2899 if necessary.
2900 [Steve Henson]
2901
2902 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2903 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2904 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2905 [Steve Henson]
2906
2907 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2908 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2909 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2910 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2911 [Steve Henson]
2912
2913 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2914 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2915 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2916 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2917 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2918 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2919 [Douglas Stebila]
2920
2921 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2922 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2923 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2924 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2925 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2926
2927 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2928 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2929 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2930 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2931 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2932 protocol).
2933
2934 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2935 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2936 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2937 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2938
2939 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2940 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2941 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2942 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2943 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2944
2945 aECDH - ECDH cert
2946 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
2947 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
2948
2949 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2950 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2951
2952 [Bodo Moeller]
2953
2954 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2955 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2956 [Steve Henson]
2957
2958 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2959 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2960 [Steve Henson]
2961
2962 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2963 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2964 functional reference processing.
2965 [Steve Henson]
2966
2967 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2968 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2969 process.
2970 [Steve Henson]
2971
2972 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2973 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2974 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2975 [Steve Henson]
2976
2977 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2978 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2979 application to support multiple signers.
2980 [Steve Henson]
2981
2982 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2983 digest MAC.
2984 [Steve Henson]
2985
2986 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2987 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2988 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2989 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2990 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2991 [Steve Henson]
2992
2993 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2994 new API.
2995 [Steve Henson]
2996
2997 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2998 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2999 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3000 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3001 a no op.
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3005 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3006 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3007 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
3008 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3009 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3010 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3011 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3012 [Steve Henson]
3013
3014 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3015 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3016 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3017 between digests and public key types.
3018 [Steve Henson]
3019
3020 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3021 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3022 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3023 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3024 [Steve Henson]
3025
3026 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3027 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3028 key ASN1 method.
3029 [Steve Henson]
3030
3031 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3032 [Steve Henson]
3033
3034 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3035 pkeyutl.
3036 [Steve Henson]
3037
3038 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3039 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3040 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3041 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3042 pkey, genpkey.
3043 [Steve Henson]
3044
3045 *) BeOS support.
3046 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3047
3048 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3049 manual pages.
3050 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3051
3052 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3053 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3054 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3055 functionality for RSA.
3056 [Steve Henson]
3057
3058 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3059 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3060 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3061 [Steve Henson]
3062
3063 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3064 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3065 [Steve Henson]
3066
3067 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3068 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3069 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3070 [Steve Henson]
3071
3072 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3073 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3074 [Douglas Stebila]
3075
3076 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3077 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3078 [Steve Henson]
3079
3080 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3081 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3082 type.
3083 [Steve Henson]
3084
3085 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3086 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3087 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3088 structure.
3089 [Steve Henson]
3090
3091 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3092 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3093 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3094 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3095 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3096 of public and private key structures.
3097 [Steve Henson]
3098
3099 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3100 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3101 [Douglas Stebila]
3102
3103 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3104 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3105 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3106
3107 New ciphersuites:
3108 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3109 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3110
3111 New functions:
3112 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3113 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3114 SSL_get_psk_identity
3115 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3116
3117 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3118
3119 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3120 and response verification functionality.
3121 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3122
3123 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3124 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3125 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3126 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3127 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3128 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3129 server_name extension.
3130
3131 New functions (subject to change):
3132
3133 SSL_get_servername()
3134 SSL_get_servername_type()
3135 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3136
3137 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3138
3139 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3140 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3141 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3142 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3143 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3144
3145 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3146
3147 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3148 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3149 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3150 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3151 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
3152 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3153 option.
3154
3155 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3156
3157 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3158 [Andy Polyakov]
3159
3160 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3161 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3162 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3163 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3164 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3165 [Andy Polyakov]
3166
3167 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3168 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3169 macro.
3170 [Bodo Moeller]
3171
3172 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3173 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3174 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3175 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3176 [Andy Polyakov]
3177
3178 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3179 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3180 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3181 using the maximum available value.
3182 [Steve Henson]
3183
3184 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3185 in addition to the text details.
3186 [Bodo Moeller]
3187
3188 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3189 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3190 handle several customised structures at all.
3191 [Steve Henson]
3192
3193 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3194 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3195 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3196 [Steve Henson]
3197
3198 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3199 [Steve Henson]
3200
3201 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3202 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3203 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3204 [Steve Henson]
3205
3206 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3207 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3208 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3209 [Nils Larsch]
3210
3211 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3212 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3213 all fields.
3214 [Steve Henson]
3215
3216 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3217 [Steve Henson]
3218
3219 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3220 [NTT]
3221
3222 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3223
3224 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3225 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3226 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3227 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3228 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3229 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3230 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3231 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3232
3233 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3234 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3235 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3236
3237 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3238
3239 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3240 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3241
3242 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3243 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3244 [Bodo Moeller]
3245
3246 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3247 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3248 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3249 [Steve Henson]
3250
3251 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3252 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3253 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3254 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3255 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3256 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3257 [Steve Henson]
3258
3259 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3260 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3261 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3262 [Steve Henson]
3263
3264 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3265 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3266 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3267 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3268 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3269 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3270 CVE-2009-4355.
3271 [Steve Henson]
3272
3273 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3274 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3275 [Bodo Moeller]
3276
3277 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3278 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3279 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3280 [Steve Henson]
3281
3282 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3283 [Steve Henson]
3284
3285 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3286 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3287 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3288 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3289 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3290 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3291 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3292 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3293 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3294 [Steve Henson]
3295
3296 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3297 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3298 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3299 [Steve Henson]
3300
3301 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3302 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3303 [Steve Henson]
3304
3305 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3306 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3307 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3308 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3309 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3310 know what you are doing.
3311 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3312
3313 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3314 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3315 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3316 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3317 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3318 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3319 the handshake.
3320 [Steve Henson]
3321
3322 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3323 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3324 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3325 correctly.
3326 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3327
3328 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3329 warnings in other configurations.
3330 [Steve Henson]
3331
3332 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3333 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3334 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3335 systems need.
3336 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3337
3338 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3339 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3340 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3341
3342 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3343 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3344 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3345 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3346 [Steve Henson]
3347
3348 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3349 and restored.
3350 [Steve Henson]
3351
3352 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3353 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3354 clash.
3355 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3356
3357 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3358 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3359 other than a simple chain.
3360 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3361
3362 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3363 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3364 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3365 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3369 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3370 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3371 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3372 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3373 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3374 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3375 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3376 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3377
3378 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3379 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3380 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3381 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3382 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
3383 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3384 (CVE-2009-1377)
3385 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3386
3387 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3388 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3389 [Daniel Mentz]
3390
3391 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3392 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3393
3394 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3395 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3396
3397 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3398
3399 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3400 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3401 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3402 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3403 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3404 you're doing.
3405 [Ben Laurie]
3406
3407 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3408
3409 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3410 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3411 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3412 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3413
3414 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3415 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3416 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3417 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3418
3419 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3420 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3421 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3422 [Steve Henson]
3423
3424 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3425 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3426 level.
3427 [Steve Henson]
3428
3429 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3430 to handle some structures.
3431 [Steve Henson]
3432
3433 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3434 for a '\n'
3435 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3436
3437 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3438 [Matthieu Herrb]
3439
3440 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3441 [Steve Henson]
3442
3443 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3444 [Steve Henson]
3445
3446 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3447 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3448 chosen compiler.
3449 [Ben Laurie]
3450
3451 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3452
3453 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3454 (CVE-2008-5077).
3455 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3456
3457 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3458 [Ben Laurie]
3459
3460 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3461 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3462 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3463 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3464
3465 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3466 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3467
3468 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3469 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3470 [Bodo Moeller]
3471
3472 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3473 s_client and s_server.
3474 [Ben Laurie]
3475
3476 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3477 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3478
3479 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3480 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3481
3482 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3483 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3484 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3485 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3486 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3487 [Bodo Moeller]
3488
3489 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3490
3491 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3492 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3493 [PR #1679]
3494
3495 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3496 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3497 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3498
3499 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3500 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3501 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3502 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3503
3504 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3505 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3506
3507 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3508
3509 *) Various precautionary measures:
3510
3511 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3512
3513 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3514 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3515 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3516
3517 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3518 outside the expected range.
3519
3520 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3521 builds.
3522
3523 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3524
3525 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3526 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3527 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3528
3529 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3530 [Steve Henson]
3531
3532 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3533 [Huang Ying]
3534
3535 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3536
3537 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3538 [Steve Henson]
3539
3540 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3541 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3542 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3543
3544 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3545 [Steve Henson]
3546
3547 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3548 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3549 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3550 files.
3551 [Steve Henson]
3552
3553 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3554
3555 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3556 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3557 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3558 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3559
3560 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3561 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3562 [Joe Orton]
3563
3564 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3565
3566 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3567 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3568 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3569
3570 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3571
3572 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3573 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3574 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3575 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3576 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3577
3578 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3579 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3580 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3581 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3582 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3583 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3584 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3585
3586 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3587
3588 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3589 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3590 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3591 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3592 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3593
3594 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3595 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3596
3597 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3598 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3599 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3600 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3601 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3602
3603 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3604
3605 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3606 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3607 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3608 sets may exist with different names.
3609 [Steve Henson]
3610
3611 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3612 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3613 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3614 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3615 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3616 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3617 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3618 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3619 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3620 implementation.
3621 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3622
3623 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3624 implemention in the following ways:
3625
3626 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3627 hard coded.
3628
3629 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3630 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3631 ignored for embedded content.
3632
3633 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3634 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3635 [Steve Henson]
3636
3637 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3638 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3639 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3640 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3641
3642 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3643 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3644 [Steve Henson]
3645
3646 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3647 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3648 [Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3651 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3652 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3653 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3654 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3655 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3656 data.
3657 [Steve Henson]
3658
3659 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3660 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3661 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3662
3663 *) Netware support:
3664
3665 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3666 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3667 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3668 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3669 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3670 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3671 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3672 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3673 platform
3674 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3675 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3676 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3677 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3678 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3679 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3680 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3681
3682 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3683 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3684 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3685 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3686 to s_client and s_server.
3687 [Steve Henson]
3688
3689 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3690
3691 *) Fix various bugs:
3692 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3693 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3694 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3695 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3696 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3697
3698 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3699
3700 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3701 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3702 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3703 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3704 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3705 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3706 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3707 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3708 [Andy Polyakov]
3709
3710 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3711 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3712 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3713 Steve Henson]
3714
3715 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3716 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3717 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3718 supported.
3719
3720 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3721 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3722 SSL_SESSION.
3723
3724 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3725 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3726 with no application modification.
3727
3728 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3729 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3730
3731 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3732 or server extensions to be examined.
3733
3734 This work was sponsored by Google.
3735 [Steve Henson]
3736
3737 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3738 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3739 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3740 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3741 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3742 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3743 server_name extension.
3744
3745 New functions (subject to change):
3746
3747 SSL_get_servername()
3748 SSL_get_servername_type()
3749 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3750
3751 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3752
3753 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3754 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3755 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3756 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3757 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3758
3759 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3760
3761 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3762 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3763 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3764 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3765 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
3766 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3767 option.
3768
3769 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3770
3771 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3775 [Andy Polyakov]
3776
3777 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3778 (which previously caused an internal error).
3779 [Bodo Moeller]
3780
3781 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3782 [Ben Laurie]
3783
3784 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3785 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3786
3787 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3788 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3789 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3790
3791 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3792 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3793 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3794 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3795
3796 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3797 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3798 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3799 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3800
3801 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3802 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3803 information. For detailed background information, see
3804 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3805 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3806 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3807 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3808 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3809 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3810 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3811 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3812 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3813 remove a conditional branch.
3814
3815 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3816 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3817 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3818 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3819 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3820 remains as a deprecated alias.
3821
3822 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3823 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3824 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3825 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3826
3827 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3828 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3829 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3830 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3831 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3832 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3833 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3834 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3835
3836 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3837
3838 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3839 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3840 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3841 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3842 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3843 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3844 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3845 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3846 in a different context.
3847 [Bodo Moeller]
3848
3849 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3850 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3851 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3852 [Bodo Moeller]
3853
3854 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3855 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3856 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3857
3858 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3859
3860 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3861 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3862 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3863 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3864 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3865 [Victor Duchovni]
3866
3867 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3868 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3869 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3870 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3871 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3872 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3873 [Bodo Moeller]
3874
3875 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3876 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3877 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3878 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3879 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3880 [Bodo Moeller]
3881
3882 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3883 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3884
3885 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3886 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3887 Improve header file function name parsing.
3888 [Steve Henson]
3889
3890 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3891 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3892 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
3893
3894 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3895
3896 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3897 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3898 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3899
3900 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3901 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3902
3903 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3904 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3905
3906 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3907 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3908 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3909
3910 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3911 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3912 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3913 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3914 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3915 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3916 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3917 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3918 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3919
3920 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3921 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3922 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3923 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3924 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3925
3926 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3927 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3928 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3929 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3930 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3931 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3932 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3933 multiple values to extend the available space.

3935 [Bodo Moeller]
3936
3937 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3938
3939 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3940 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3941
3942 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3943 [Ben Laurie]
3944
3945 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3946 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3947 undesirable limitations.
3948 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3949
3950 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3951 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3952 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3953 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3954 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3955 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3956 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3957 [Bodo Moeller]
3958
3959 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3960
3961 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3962 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3963 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3964
3965 The latter two were purportedly from
3966 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3967 appear there.
3968
3969 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3970 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3971 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3972 [Bodo Moeller]
3973
3974 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3975 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3976 [Bodo Moeller]
3977
3978 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3979 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3980 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3981 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3982
3983 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3984 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3985 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3986 [NTT]
3987
3988 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3989 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3990 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3991 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3992 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3993 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3994 [Steve Henson]
3995
3996 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3997
3998 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3999 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4000 [Steve Henson]
4001
4002 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4003 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4004
4005 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4006 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4007 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4008 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4009 [Douglas Stebila]
4010
4011 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4012 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4013 [Steve Henson]
4014
4015 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4016 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4017 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4018 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4019 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4020 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4021 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4022 can't be loaded.
4023 [Steve Henson]
4024
4025 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4026 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4027 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4028 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4029 [Steve Henson]
4030
4031 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4032 under VC++ build system.
4033 [Steve Henson]
4034
4035 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4036 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4037 [Richard Levitte]
4038
4039 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4040
4041 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4042 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4043 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4044 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4045 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4046
4047 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4048 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4049 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4050
4051 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4052 [Steve Henson]
4053
4054 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4055 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4056 [Nils Larsch]
4057
4058 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4059 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4060
4061 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4062 [Nick Mathewson]
4063
4064 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4065 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4066
4067 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4068 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4069 [Steve Henson]
4070
4071 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4072 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4073 smime utility.
4074 [Steve Henson]
4075
4076 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4077
4078 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4079 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4080
4081 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4082 [Richard Levitte]
4083
4084 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4085 key into the same file any more.
4086 [Richard Levitte]
4087
4088 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4089 [Andy Polyakov]
4090
4091 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4092 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4093
4094 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4095 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4096 [Richard Levitte]
4097
4098 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4099 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4100 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4101 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4102 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4103 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4104
4105 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4106 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4107 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4108 [Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4111 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4112 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4113 - add new function for parameter creation
4114 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4115 BN_BLINDING parameters
4116 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4117 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4118 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4119 threads.
4120 [Nils Larsch]
4121
4122 *) Add support for DTLS.
4123 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4124
4125 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4126 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4127 [Walter Goulet]
4128
4129 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
4130 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4131 [Nils Larsch]
4132
4133 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4134 the apps/openssl applications.
4135 [Nils Larsch]
4136
4137 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4138 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4139 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4140 [Ben Laurie]
4141
4142 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4143 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4144
4145 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4146 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4147
4148 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4149 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4150 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4151 avoid this algorithm.)
4152
4153 [Bodo Moeller]
4154
4155 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4156 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4157 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4158 [Richard Levitte]
4159
4160 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4161 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4162 [Andy Polyakov]
4163
4164 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4165 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4166 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4167 pod file:
4168
4169 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4170
4171 The blank line is mandatory.
4172
4173 [Steve Henson]
4174
4175 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4176 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4177 sources.
4178 [Steve Henson]
4179
4180 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4181 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4182
4183 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4184 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4185 to support policy checking and print out.
4186 [Steve Henson]
4187
4188 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4189 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4190 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4191 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4192
4193 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4194 [Geoff Thorpe]
4195
4196 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4197 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4198
4199 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4200 implementation contributed by IBM.
4201 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4202
4203 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4204 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4205 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4206 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4207
4208 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4209 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4210
4211 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4212 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4213 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4214 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4215 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4216 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4217 [Steve Henson]
4218
4219 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4220 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4221 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4222 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4223 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4224 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4225 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4226 [Geoff Thorpe]
4227
4228 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4229 [Steve Henson]
4230
4231 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4232 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4233 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4234 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4235 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4236 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4237 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4238 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4239 [Steve Henson]
4240
4241 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4242 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4243 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4244 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4245 [Steve Henson]
4246
4247 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4248 syntax:
4249
4250 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4251 [Steve Henson]
4252
4253 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4254 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4255 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4256 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4257 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4258 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4259 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4260 [Geoff Thorpe]
4261
4262 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4263 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4264 [Geoff Thorpe]
4265
4266 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4267 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4268 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4269 [Steve Henson]
4270
4271 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4272 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4273 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4274 below).
4275 [Geoff Thorpe]
4276
4277 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4278 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4279 [Richard Levitte]
4280
4281 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4282 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4283 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4284 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4285 [Geoff Thorpe]
4286
4287 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4288 initialised value as BN_new().
4289 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4290
4291 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4292 [Steve Henson]
4293
4294 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4295 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4296 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4297 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4298 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4299 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4300 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4301 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4302 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4303 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4304 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4305 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4306 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4307 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4308 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4309
4310 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4311 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4312 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4313 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4314 [Geoff Thorpe]
4315
4316 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4317 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4318 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4319 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4320 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4321 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4322 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4323 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4324 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4325 [Geoff Thorpe]
4326
4327 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4328 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4329 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4330 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4331 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4332 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4333 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4334 [Geoff Thorpe]
4335
4336 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4337 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4338 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4339 these have been updated also.
4340 [Geoff Thorpe]
4341
4342 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4343 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4344 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4345 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4346 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4347 functions.
4348 [Steve Henson]
4349
4350 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4351 structure of type "other".
4352 [Steve Henson]
4353
4354 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4355 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4356 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4357 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4358 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4359 situation in the script.
4360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4361
4362 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4363 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4364 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4365 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4366 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4367 used as premaster secret.
4368 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4369
4370 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4371 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4372 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4373
4374 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4375 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4376
4377 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4378 control of the error stack.
4379 [Richard Levitte]
4380
4381 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4382 [Richard Levitte]
4383
4384 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4385 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4386 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4387 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4388 [Richard Levitte]
4389
4390 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4391 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4392 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4393 [Richard Levitte]
4394
4395 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4396 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4397 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4398 a memory area.
4399 [Richard Levitte]
4400
4401 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4402 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4403 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4404 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4405 [Richard Levitte]
4406
4407 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4408 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4409 the following flags are defined:
4410
4411 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4412 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4413 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4414 number.
4415
4416 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4417 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4418 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4419 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4420 returns zero.
4421 [Richard Levitte]
4422
4423 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4424 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4425 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4426 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4427 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4428 [Richard Levitte]
4429
4430 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4431 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4432 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4433 [Richard Levitte]
4434
4435 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4436 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4437 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4438 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4439 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4440 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4441 [Richard Levitte]
4442
4443 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4444 req and dirName.
4445 [Steve Henson]
4446
4447 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4448 [Steve Henson]
4449
4450 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4451 [Steve Henson]
4452
4453 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4454 [Steve Henson]
4455
4456 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4457 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4458 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4459 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4460 default implementation more easily.
4461 [Geoff Thorpe]
4462
4463 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4464 in config files.
4465 [Steve Henson]
4466
4467 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4468 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4469 [Richard Levitte]
4470
4471 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4472 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4473 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4474 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4475
4476 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4477 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4478 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4479 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4480 [Steve Henson]
4481
4482 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4483 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4484 to do it.
4485 [Richard Levitte]
4486
4487 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4488 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4489 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4490 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4491 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4492 scalar * generator).
4493 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4494
4495 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4496 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4497 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4498 correctly.
4499 [Steve Henson]
4500
4501 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4502 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4503 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4504 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4505 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4506 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4507 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4508 linker additions, eg;
4509 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4510 [Geoff Thorpe]
4511
4512 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4513 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4514 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4515 [Geoff Thorpe]
4516
4517 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4518 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4519 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4520 via PR#459)
4521 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4522
4523 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4524 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4525 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4526 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4527 [Geoff Thorpe]
4528
4529 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4530 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4531 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4532 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4533 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4534 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4535 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4536 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4537 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4538 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4539
4540 Example for using the new callback interface:
4541
4542 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4543 void *my_arg = ...;
4544 BN_GENCB my_cb;
4545
4546 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4547
4548 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4549 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4550 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4551 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4552 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4553 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4554 */
4555
4556 [Geoff Thorpe]
4557
4558 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4559 available to TLS with the number defined in
4560 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4561 [Richard Levitte]
4562
4563 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4564 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4565
4566 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4567 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4568 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4569 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4570
4571 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4572 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4573
4574 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4575 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4576 well.
4577 [Richard Levitte]
4578
4579 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4580 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4581 [Richard Levitte]
4582
4583 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4584 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4585 and a macro that behave like
4586 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4587
4588 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4589 [Nils Larsch]
4590
4591 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4592 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4593 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4594 if applicable.
4595 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4596
4597 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4598 [Bodo Moeller]
4599
4600 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4601 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4602 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4603 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4604 directory engines/.
4605 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4606 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4607 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4608 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4609 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4610 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4611 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4612 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4613
4614 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4615 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
4616 [Richard Levitte]
4617
4618 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4619 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4620
4621 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4622 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4623 files while avoiding the low level API.
4624
4625 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4626 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4627 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4628 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4629
4630 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4631 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4632 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4633 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4634 instead of the low level API.
4635 [Steve Henson]
4636
4637 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4638 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4639 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4640 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4641 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4642 PKCS#7 code.
4643
4644 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4645 down to the template encoder.
4646 [Steve Henson]
4647
4648 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4649 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4650 [Bodo Moeller]
4651
4652 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4653 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4654 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4655 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4656
4657 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4658 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4659
4660 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4661 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4662
4663 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4664 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4665 [Bodo Moeller]
4666
4667 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4668 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4669 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4670 [Bodo Moeller]
4671
4672 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4673 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4674
4675 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4676 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4677
4678 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4679 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4680 New EC_METHOD:
4681
4682 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4683
4684 New API functions:
4685
4686 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4687 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4688 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4689 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4690 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4691 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4692
4693 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4694 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4695 enable it).
4696
4697 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4698 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4699 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4700 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4701 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4702 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4703 various internal method names.)
4704
4705 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4706 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4707
4708 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4709 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4710
4711 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4712 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4713
4714 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4715 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4716 methods are undefined.
4717
4718 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4719 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4720
4721 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4722 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4723 length of the modulus.
4724
4725 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4726 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4727
4728 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4729 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4730
4731 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4732 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4733
4734 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4735 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4736 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4737
4738 BN_GF2m_add
4739 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4740 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4741 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4742 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4743 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
4744 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4745 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4746 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4747 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4748
4749 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4750 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4751
4752 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4753 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4754 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4755 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4756 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4757 where
4758 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4759 This applies to the following functions:
4760
4761 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
4762 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
4763 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
4764 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4765 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4766 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
4767 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4768 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4769 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
4770 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
4771
4772 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4773
4774 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
4775 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
4776
4777 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4778
4779 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4780 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4781 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4782 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4783 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4784
4785 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4786 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4787
4788 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4789 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4790 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4791
4792 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4793 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4794
4795 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4796 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4797 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4798 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4799 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4800
4801 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4802 functions
4803 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4804 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4805 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4806 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4807 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4808 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4809 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4810 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4811 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4812 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4813 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4814 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4815
4816 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4817 functions
4818 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
4819 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4820 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4821 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4822 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4823
4824 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4825 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4826 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4827 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4828
4829 *) Add functions
4830 EC_POINT_point2bn()
4831 EC_POINT_bn2point()
4832 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4833 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4834 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4835 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4836 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4837
4838 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4839 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4840 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4841 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4842 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4843 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4844 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4845 adding different types of curves.
4846 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4847
4848 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4849 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4850 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4851 [Bodo Moeller]
4852
4853 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4854 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4855
4856 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4857 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4858 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4859 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4860
4861 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4862
4863 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4864 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4865
4866 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4867 library. Most notably,
4868 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4869 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4870 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4871 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4872 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4873 extracted before the specific public key;
4874 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4875 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4876
4877 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4878 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4879 function
4880 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4881 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4882 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4883 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4884 accessed via
4885 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4886 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4887 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4888
4889 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4890 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4891 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4892 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4893 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4894 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4895 differing sizes.
4896 [Richard Levitte]
4897
4898 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4899
4900 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4901 sensitive data.
4902 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4903
4904 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4905 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4906 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4907 [Bodo Moeller]
4908
4909 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4910 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4911 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4912 [Victor Duchovni]
4913
4914 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4915 [Steve Henson]
4916
4917 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4918 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4919 [Steve Henson]
4920
4921 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4922 run algorithm test programs.
4923 [Steve Henson]
4924
4925 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4926 [Steve Henson]
4927
4928 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4929 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4930 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4931 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4932 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4933 [Bodo Moeller]
4934
4935 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4936 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4937 [Steve Henson]
4938
4939 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4940
4941 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4942 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4943 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4944
4945 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4946 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4947
4948 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4949 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4950
4951 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4952 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4953 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4954
4955 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4956 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4957 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4958 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4959 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4960 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4961 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4962 [Bodo Moeller]
4963
4964 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4965
4966 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4967 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4968
4969 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4970 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4971 undesirable limitations.
4972 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4973
4974 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4975
4976 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4977 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4978 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4979
4980 The latter two were purportedly from
4981 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4982 appear there.
4983
4984 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4985 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4986 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4987 [Bodo Moeller]
4988
4989 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4990 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4991 [Bodo Moeller]
4992
4993 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4994
4995 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4996 module in FIPS mode.
4997 [Steve Henson]
4998
4999 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5000 [Steve Henson]
5001
5002 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5003 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5004 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5005 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5006 [Steve Henson]
5007
5008 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5009
5010 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5011 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5012 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5013 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5014 the difference induced by this change.
5015 [Andy Polyakov]
5016
5017 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5018
5019 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5020 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5021 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5022 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5023 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5024
5025 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5026 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5027 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5028
5029 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5030 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5031 [Steve Henson]
5032
5033 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5034 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5035 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5036 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5037 biased k.)
5038 [Bodo Moeller]
5039
5040 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5041 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5042 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5043 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5044 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5045
5046 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5047 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5048 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5049 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5050 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5051 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5052
5053 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5054
5055 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5056 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5057 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5058 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5059 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5060 [Bodo Moeller]
5061
5062 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5063 clients need.
5064 [Steve Henson]
5065
5066 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5067 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5068 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5069 [Steve Henson]
5070
5071 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5072 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5073 structures constant.
5074 [Steve Henson]
5075
5076 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5077
5078 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5079 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5080
5081 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5082 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5083 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5084 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5085 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5086 some needed definitions.
5087 [Steve Henson]
5088
5089 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5090 [Ulf Möller]
5091
5092 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5093 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5094 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
5095 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5096 [Richard Levitte]
5097
5098 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5099
5100 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5101 server and client random values. Previously
5102 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5103 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5104
5105 This change has negligible security impact because:
5106
5107 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5108 data.
5109
5110 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5111 handshake.
5112
5113 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5114 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5115 values.
5116
5117 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5118 to our attention.
5119
5120 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5121
5122 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5123 [Ulf Möller]
5124
5125 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5126 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5127 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5128
5129 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5130 [Steve Henson]
5131
5132 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5133 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5134 [Andy Polyakov]
5135
5136 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5137 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5138 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5139
5140 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5141 [Steve Henson]
5142
5143 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5144 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
5145 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
5146 certificates.
5147 [Steve Henson]
5148
5149 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5150 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5151 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5152 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5153
5154 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5155 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5156 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5157 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5158 been given)
5159 [Richard Levitte]
5160
5161 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5162
5163 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5164 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5165 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5166 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5167 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5168 [Steve Henson]
5169
5170 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5171 [Steve Henson]
5172
5173 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5174 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5175
5176 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5177 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5178 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5179 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5180 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5181 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5182 rather than being initialized to 1.
5183 [Steve Henson]
5184
5185 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5186
5187 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5188 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5189 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5190
5191 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5192 (CVE-2004-0112)
5193 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5194
5195 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5196 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5197 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5198 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5199 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5200 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5201 [Richard Levitte]
5202
5203 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5204 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5205 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5206 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5207 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5208 for these cases.
5209 [Steve Henson]
5210
5211 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5212 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5213 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5214 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5215 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5216 [Steve Henson]
5217
5218 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5219 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5220 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5221 < 0.9.7.
5222 [Steve Henson]
5223
5224 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5225 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5226
5227 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5228 [Steve Henson]
5229
5230 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5231
5232 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5233
5234 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5235 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5236
5237 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5238
5239 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5240 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5241
5242 [Steve Henson]
5243
5244 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5245 exiting on the first error in a request.
5246 [Steve Henson]
5247
5248 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5249 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5250 specifications.
5251 [Steve Henson]
5252
5253 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5254 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5255 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5256 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5257
5258 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5259 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5260 [Richard Levitte]
5261
5262 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5263 blocks during encryption.
5264 [Richard Levitte]
5265
5266 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5267 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5268 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5269 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5270 certain size.
5271 [Steve Henson]
5272
5273 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5274 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5275 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5276 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5277 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5278 parser.
5279 [Steve Henson]
5280
5281 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5282
5283 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5284 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5285 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5286 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5287 [Bodo Moeller]
5288
5289 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5290 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5291 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5292 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5293 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5294
5295 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5296 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5297 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5298 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5299 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5300 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5301 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5302 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5303 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5304 [Bodo Moeller]
5305
5306 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5307 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5308 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5309 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5310 [Geoff Thorpe]
5311
5312 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5313 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5314 [Ulf Moeller]
5315
5316 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5317
5318 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5319 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5320 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5321 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5322 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5323
5324 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5325 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5326 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5327
5328 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5329 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5330 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5331 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5332 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5333
5334 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5335 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5336 used by default when no-err is given.
5337 [Richard Levitte]
5338
5339 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5340 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5341
5342 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5343 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5344 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5345 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5346 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5347
5348 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5349 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5350 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5351 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5352
5353 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5354
5355 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5356
5357 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5358
5359 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5360 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5361 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5362 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5363 root is omitted).
5364 [Steve Henson]
5365
5366 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5367 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5368
5369 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5370 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5371 [Steve Henson]
5372
5373 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5374 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5375 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5376 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5377 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5378
5379 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5380 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5381 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5382 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5383 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5384 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5385 followup to PR #377.
5386 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5387
5388 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5389 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5390 [Andy Polyakov]
5391
5392 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5393 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5394 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5395 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5396
5397 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5398
5399 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5400 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5401
5402 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5403 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5404 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5405 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5406 client and server.
5407 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5408 PR #377.
5409 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5410
5411 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5412 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5413 removed entirely.
5414 [Richard Levitte]
5415
5416 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5417 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5418 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5419 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5420 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5421 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5422 of libcrypto.
5423 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5424 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5425 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5426 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5427 have to be made anyway).
5428 [Richard Levitte]
5429
5430 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5431 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5432 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5433 [Steve Henson]
5434
5435 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5436 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5437 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5438 [Richard Levitte]
5439
5440 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5441 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5442 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5443
5444 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5445 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5446 edit numbers of the version.
5447 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5448
5449 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5450 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5451 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5452
5453 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5454 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5455
5456 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5457 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5458 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5459
5460 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5461 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5462
5463 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5464 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5465
5466 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5467 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5468
5469 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5470 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5471
5472 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5473 overflows.
5474 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5475
5476 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5477 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5478 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5479
5480 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5481 representations in a platform independent manner.
5482 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5483
5484 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5485 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5486 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5487
5488 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5489 indents.
5490 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5491
5492 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5493 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5494
5495 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5496 full. Fixed.
5497 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5498
5499 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5500 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5501 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5502
5503 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5504 unconditionally).
5505 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5506
5507 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5508 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5509
5510 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5511 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5512
5513 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5514 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5515
5516 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5517 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5518
5519 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5520 CBCParameter.
5521 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5522
5523 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5524 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5525
5526 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5527 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5528
5529 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5530 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5531 exploitable.
5532 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5533
5534 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5535 the 0.9.6 release series:
5536
5537 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5538 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5539 (CVE-2002-0657)
5540 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5541
5542 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5543 [Richard Levitte]
5544
5545 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5546 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5547
5548 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5549 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5550
5551 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5552 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5553 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5554 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5555
5556 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5557 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5558 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5559
5560 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5561 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5562 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5563 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5564
5565 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5566 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5567 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5568 some local tweaks:
5569
5570 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5571 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5572 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5573 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5574 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5575 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5576 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5577 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5578 done
5579
5580 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5581 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
5582 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5583 [Richard Levitte]
5584
5585 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5586 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5587 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5588 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5589 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5590
5591 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5592 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5593
5594 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5595 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5596 [Richard Levitte]
5597
5598 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5599 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5600 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5601 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5602 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5603 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5604 [Steve Henson]
5605
5606 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5607 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5608 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5609 [Steve Henson]
5610
5611 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5612 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5613 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5614
5615 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5616 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5617 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5618 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5619 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5620 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5621 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5622 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5623
5624 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5625 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5626 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5627 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5628 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5629 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5630 [Steve Henson]
5631
5632 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5633 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5634 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5635 declaration has been changed from
5636 int (*cb)()
5637 into
5638 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5639 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5640 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5641 has been changed into
5642 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5643
5644 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5645 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5646 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5647
5648 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5649 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5650
5651 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5652 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5653 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5654 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5655 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5656 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5657 always load it have also been added.
5658 [Steve Henson]
5659
5660 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5661 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5662 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5663
5664 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5665
5666 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5667 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5668 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5669
5670 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5671 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5672 command line option can be used to specify an
5673 alternative file.
5674 [Steve Henson]
5675
5676 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5677 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5678 [Steve Henson]
5679
5680 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5681 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5682 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5683 [Steve Henson]
5684
5685 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5686 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5687 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5688 to work with the new engine framework.
5689 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5690
5691 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5692 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5693 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5694 to work with the new engine framework.
5695 [Richard Levitte]
5696
5697 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5698 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5699 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5700
5701 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5702 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5703
5704 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5705 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5706 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5707 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5708 FORMAT_IISSGC.
5709 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5710
5711 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5712 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5713
5714 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5715 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5716
5717 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5718 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5719 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5720 [Ben Laurie]
5721
5722 *) Add new functions
5723 ERR_peek_last_error
5724 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5725 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5726 These are similar to
5727 ERR_peek_error
5728 ERR_peek_error_line
5729 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5730 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5731 still in the error queue.
5732 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5733
5734 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5735 like:
5736 default_algorithms = ALL
5737 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5738 [Steve Henson]
5739
5740 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
5741 [Steve Henson]
5742
5743 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5744 [Steve Henson]
5745
5746 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5747 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5748 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5749 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5750
5751 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5752 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5753
5754 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5755 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5756
5757 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5758 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5759 [Bodo Moeller]
5760
5761 *) New functions/macros
5762
5763 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5764 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5765 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5766 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5767
5768 to request calling a callback function
5769
5770 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5771 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5772
5773 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5774 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5775 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5776 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5777 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5778 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5779 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5780 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5781 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5782 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5783
5784 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5785 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5786 [Bodo Moeller]
5787
5788 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5789 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5790 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5791 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5792 the configuration scripts.
5793
5794 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5795 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5796 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5797
5798 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5799 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5800
5801 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5802 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5803 when reusing an existing buffer.
5804 [Bodo Moeller]
5805
5806 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5807 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5808 [Steve Henson]
5809
5810 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5811 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5812 [Ben Laurie]
5813
5814 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5815 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5816 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5817 has the same effect.
5818 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5819
5820 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5821 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5822 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5823 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5824 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5825 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5826 exception.
5827
5828 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5829 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5830 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5831 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5832
5833 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5834 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5835 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5836 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5837
5838 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5839 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5840 won't work.
5841
5842 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5843 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5844 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5845 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5846 default), and then completely removed.
5847 [Richard Levitte]
5848
5849 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5850 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5851 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5852 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5853 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5854 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5855 particular extension is supported.
5856 [Steve Henson]
5857
5858 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5859 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5860 [Steve Henson]
5861
5862 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5863 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5864 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5865 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5866 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5867 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5868 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5869 requires the destination to be valid.
5870
5871 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5872 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5873 [Steve Henson]
5874
5875 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5876 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5877 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5878 [Bodo Moeller]
5879
5880 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5881 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5882
5883 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5884 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5885 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5886 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5887 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5888 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5889 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5890 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5891 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5892 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5893 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5894 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5895 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5896 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5897 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5898 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5899 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5900 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5901 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5902 the new code.
5903 [Geoff Thorpe]
5904
5905 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5906 [Steve Henson]
5907
5908 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5909 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5910 become part of libeay.num as well.
5911 [Richard Levitte]
5912
5913 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5914 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5915 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5916 false once a handshake has been completed.
5917 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5918 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5919 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5920 client has followed the request.)
5921 [Bodo Moeller]
5922
5923 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5924 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5925 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5926 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5927
5928 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5929 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5930 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5931 [Bodo Moeller]
5932
5933 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5934 [Steve Henson]
5935
5936 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5937 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5938 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5939 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5940
5941 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5942 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5943 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5944
5945 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5946 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5947 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5948 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5949 [Geoff Thorpe]
5950
5951 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5952 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5953 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5954 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5955 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5956 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5957 [Geoff Thorpe]
5958
5959 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5960 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5961 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5962 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5963 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5964 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5965 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5966 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5967 [Geoff Thorpe]
5968
5969 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5970 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5971 [Geoff Thorpe]
5972
5973 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5974 [Ben Laurie]
5975
5976 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5977 md_data void pointer.
5978 [Ben Laurie]
5979
5980 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5981 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5982 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5983 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5984 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5985 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5986 [Ben Laurie]
5987
5988 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5989 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5990 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5991 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5992 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5993 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5994 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5995 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5996 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5997 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5998 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5999 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6000 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6001 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6002 rather than letting it slide.
6003
6004 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6005 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6006 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6007 [Geoff Thorpe]
6008
6009 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6010 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6011 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6012 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6013 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6014 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6015 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6016 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6017 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6018 [Geoff Thorpe]
6019
6020 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6021 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6022 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6023 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6024 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6025
6026 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6027 [Geoff Thorpe]
6028
6029 *) Add EVP test program.
6030 [Ben Laurie]
6031
6032 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6033 [Ben Laurie]
6034
6035 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6036 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6037 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6038 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6039 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6040 [Steve Henson]
6041
6042 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6043 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6044 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6045 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6046 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6047 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6048 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6049
6050 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6051 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6052 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6053 Usage example:
6054
6055 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6056
6057 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6058 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6059 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6060 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6061 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6062
6063 [Ben Laurie]
6064
6065 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6066 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6067 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6068 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6069 anyway): E.g.,
6070
6071 des_key_schedule ks;
6072
6073 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6074 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6075
6076 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6077 [Ben Laurie]
6078
6079 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6080 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6081 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6082 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6083 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6084 functions prevents this.
6085 [Steve Henson]
6086
6087 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6088 [Ben Laurie]
6089
6090 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6091 correct _ecb suffix.
6092 [Ben Laurie]
6093
6094 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6095 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6096 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6097 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6098 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6099 [Steve Henson]
6100
6101 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6102 [Richard Levitte]
6103
6104 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6105 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6106 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6107 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6108
6109 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6110 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6111
6112 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6113 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6114 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6115 via Richard Levitte]
6116
6117 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6118 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6119 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6120 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6121 [Geoff Thorpe]
6122
6123 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6124 Before:
6125 encrypt
6126 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6127 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6128 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

6133 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6134 After:

6136 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6137 decrypt
6138 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6139 [Ben Laurie]
6140
6141 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6142 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6143
6144 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6145 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6146 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6147 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6148 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6149 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6150 [Steve Henson]
6151
6152 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6153 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6154 [Richard Levitte]
6155
6156 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6157 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6158 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6159 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6160
6161 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6162 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6163 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6164 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6165 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6166 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6167 callback.
6168 [Richard Levitte]
6169
6170 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6171 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6172 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6173 and interrupts/cancellations.
6174 [Richard Levitte]
6175
6176 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6177 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6178 [Steve Henson]
6179
6180 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6181 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6182 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6183
6184 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6185 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6186 kind of callback.
6187 [Richard Levitte]
6188
6189 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6190 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6191 than this minimum value is recommended.
6192 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6193
6194 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6195 that are easily reachable.
6196 [Richard Levitte]
6197
6198 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6199 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6200
6201 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6202
6203 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6204 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6205 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6206 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6207 [Steve Henson]
6208
6209 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6210 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6211 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6212 [Steve Henson]
6213
6214 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6215 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6216 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6217 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6218 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6219 internally such as S/MIME.
6220
6221 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6222 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6223 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6224
6225 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6226 applications.
6227 [Steve Henson]
6228
6229 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6230 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6231 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6232 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6233
6234 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6235
6236 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6237
6238 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6239 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6240 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6241 handling.
6242 [Steve Henson]
6243
6244 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6245 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6246 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6247 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6248 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6249 a window system and the like.
6250 [Richard Levitte]
6251
6252 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6253 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6254 [Geoff]
6255
6256 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6257 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6258 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6259 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6260 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6261 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6262 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6263 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6264 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6265 ENGINE structure.
6266 [Geoff]
6267
6268 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6269 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6270 tag cache.
6271 [Steve Henson]
6272
6273 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6274 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6275 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6276 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6277 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6278 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6279 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6280 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6281 [Geoff]
6282
6283 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6284 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6285 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6286 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6287 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6288 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6289 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6290 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6291 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6292 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6293 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6294 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6295 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6296 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6297 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6298 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6299 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6300 [Geoff]
6301
6302 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6303 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6304 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6305 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6306 internal engine_int.h header.
6307 [Geoff]
6308
6309 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6310 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6311 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6312 modify their own ones).
6313 [Geoff]
6314
6315 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6316 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6317 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6318 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6319 later on via ctrl() commands.
6320 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6321 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6322 structural references.
6323 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6324 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6325 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6326 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6327 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6328 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6329 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6330 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6331 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6332 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6333 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6334 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.

6336
6337 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6338 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6339 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6340 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6341 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6342 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6343 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6344 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6345 [Bodo Moeller]
6346
6347 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6348 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6349 [Steve Henson]
6350
6351 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6352 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6353 [Steve Henson]
6354
6355 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6356 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6357 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6358 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6359 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6360 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6361 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6362 [Steve Henson]
6363
6364 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6365 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6366 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6367 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6368 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6369
6370 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6371 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6372 generator).
6373 [Bodo Moeller]
6374
6375 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6376
6377 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6378 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6379 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6380
6381 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6382 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6383
6384 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6385 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6386 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6387
6388 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6389 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6390
6391 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6392 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6393
6394 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6395
6396 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6397 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6398 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6399 [Bodo Moeller]
6400
6401 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6402 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6403 [Richard Levitte]
6404
6405 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6406 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6407 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6408 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6409 is 40 of more characters long.
6410 [Steve Henson]
6411
6412 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6413 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6414 pointers.
6415 [Steve Henson]
6416
6417 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6418 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6419 [Bodo Moeller]
6420
6421 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6422 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6423 might.
6424 [Steve Henson]
6425
6426 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6427
6428 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6429 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6430
6431 ASN1 error codes
6432 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6433 ...
6434 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6435 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6436 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6437 ...
6438 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6439 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6440
6441 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6442 [Bodo Moeller]
6443
6444 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6445 suffices.
6446 [Bodo Moeller]
6447
6448 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6449 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6450 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6451 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6452 and
6453 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6454
6455 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6456 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6457
6458 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6459 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6460 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6461 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6462 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6463 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6464
6465 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6466 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6467
6468 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6469 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6470
6471 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6472 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6473
6474 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6475 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6476 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6477 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6478
6479 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6480 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6481
6482 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6483 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6484
6485 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6486 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6487 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6488 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6489 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6490 [Richard Levitte]
6491
6492 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6493 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6494 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6495 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6496 [Steve Henson]
6497
6498 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6499 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6500 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6501 trust settings.
6502 [Steve Henson]
6503
6504 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6505 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6506 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6507 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6508 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6509 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6510 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6511 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6512 ocsp utility.
6513 [Steve Henson]
6514
6515 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6516 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6517 [Steve Henson]
6518
6519 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6520 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6521 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6522 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6523 [Steve Henson]
6524
6525 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6526 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6527 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6528 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6529 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6530 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6531 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6532 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6533 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6534 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6535 [Steve Henson]
6536
6537 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6538 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6539 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6540 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6541 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6542 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6543 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6544 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6545
6546 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6547 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6548 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6549 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6550 [Richard Levitte]
6551
6552 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6553 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6554 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6555 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6556 opensslconf.h.
6557 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6558 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6559 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6560 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6561 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6562 what is available.
6563 [Richard Levitte]
6564
6565 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6566 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6567 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6568 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6569 auto incremented.
6570 [Steve Henson]
6571
6572 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6573 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6574 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6575 [Steve Henson]
6576
6577 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6578 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6579 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6580 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6581 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6582 [Steve Henson]
6583
6584 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6585 [Steve Henson]
6586
6587 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6588 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6589 option to ocsp utility.
6590 [Steve Henson]
6591
6592 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6593 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6594 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6595 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6596 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6597 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6598 the request is nonce-less.
6599 [Steve Henson]
6600
6601 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6602 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6603 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6604 [Bodo Moeller]
6605
6606 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6607 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6608 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6609 [Steve Henson]
6610
6611 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6612 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6613 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6614 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6615 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6616 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6617
6618 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6619 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6620 appear to exist.
6621 [Steve Henson]
6622
6623 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6624 additional certificates supplied.
6625 [Steve Henson]
6626
6627 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6628 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6629 signature against.
6630 [Richard Levitte]
6631
6632 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6633 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6634 AES OIDs.
6635
6636 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6637 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6638 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6639 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6640 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6641 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6642 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6643 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6644 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6645
6646 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6647 request to response.
6648 [Steve Henson]
6649
6650 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6651 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6652 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6653 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6654 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6655 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6656 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6657 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6658 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6659 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6660 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6661 [Steve Henson]
6662
6663 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6664 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6665 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6666 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6667 [Steve Henson]
6668
6669 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6670 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6671
6672 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6673 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6674 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6675 [Steve Henson]
6676
6677 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6678 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6679 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6680 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6681 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6682
6683 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6684 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6685 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6686 [Steve Henson]
6687
6688 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6689 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6690 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6691 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6692 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6693 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6694 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6695 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6696
6697 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6698 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6699 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6700 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6701 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6702 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6703 [Steve Henson]
6704
6705 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6706 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6707 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6708 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6709 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6710 printout format cleaned up.
6711 [Steve Henson]
6712
6713 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6714 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6715 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6716 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6717 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6718 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6719 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6720 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6721 [Steve Henson]
6722
6723 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6724 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6725 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6726 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6727 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6728 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6729 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6730 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6731 [Steve Henson]
6732
6733 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6734 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6735 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6736 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6737 section to use.
6738 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6739
6740 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6741 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6742 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6743 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6744 [Steve Henson]
6745
6746 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6747 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6748 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6749 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6750 in the index file.
6751 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6752
6753 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6754 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6755 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6756 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6757
6758 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6759 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6760
6761 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6762 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6763 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6764 [Steve Henson]
6765
6766 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6767 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6768 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6769 [Bodo Moeller]
6770
6771 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6772 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6773 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6774 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6775 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6776 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6777 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6778 functions are provided:
6779
6780 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6781 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6782 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6783 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6784
6785 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6786 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6787 extended allocation function is enabled.
6788 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6789 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6790 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6791
6792 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6793 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6794 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6795 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6796 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6797 [Geoff Thorpe]
6798
6799 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6800 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6801 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6802 be queried.
6803 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6804 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6805 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6806 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6807
6808 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6809 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6810 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6811 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6812 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6813 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6814 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6815 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6816 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6817 [Richard Levitte]
6818
6819 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6820 provide utility functions which an application needing
6821 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6822 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6823 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6824
6825 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6826 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6827 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6828 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6829 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6830 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6831 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6832 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6833 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6834
6835 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6836 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6837 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6838 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6839 [Steve Henson]
6840
6841 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6842 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6843 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6844 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6845 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6846 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6847 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6848 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6849 will be added elsewhere.
6850 [Steve Henson]
6851
6852 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6853 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6854 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6855 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6856 [Steve Henson]
6857
6858 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6859 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6860 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6861 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6862 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6863 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6864 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6865 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6866 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6867 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6868 to produce the required SET OF.
6869 [Steve Henson]
6870
6871 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6872 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6873 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6874 [Richard Levitte]
6875
6876 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6877 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6878 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6879 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6880 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6881 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6882 [Steve Henson]
6883
6884 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6885 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6886 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6887 [Steve Henson]
6888
6889 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6890 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6891 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6892 [Richard Levitte]
6893
6894 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6895 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6896 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6897 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6898 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6899 [Steve Henson]
6900
6901 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6902 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6903 [Steve Henson]
6904
6905 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6906 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6907 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6908 certifcates and CRLs.
6909 [Steve Henson]
6910
6911 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6912 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6913 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6914 [Steve Henson]
6915
6916 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6917 entries for variables.
6918 [Steve Henson]
6919
6920 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6921 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6922 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6923 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6924 [Bodo Moeller]
6925
6926 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6927 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6928 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6929 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6930 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6931 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6932 [Bodo Moeller]
6933
6934 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6935 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6936
6937 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6938 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6939 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6940 [Steve Henson]
6941
6942 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6943 print routines.
6944 [Steve Henson]
6945
6946 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6947 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6948 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6949 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6950 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6951 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6952 [Steve Henson]
6953
6954 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6955 [Steve Henson]
6956
6957 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6958 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6959 for now but they will eventually go away.
6960 [Steve Henson]
6961
6962 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6963 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6964 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6965 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6966 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6967 has also been converted to the new form.
6968 [Steve Henson]
6969
6970 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6971 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6972 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6973 for negative moduli.
6974 [Bodo Moeller]
6975
6976 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6977 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6978 [Bodo Moeller]
6979
6980 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6981 set.
6982 [Bodo Moeller]
6983
6984 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6985 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6986 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6987 type-specific callbacks.
6988 [Geoff Thorpe]
6989
6990 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6991 RFC 2712.
6992 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6993 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6994
6995 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6996 in sections depending on the subject.
6997 [Richard Levitte]
6998
6999 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7000 Windows.
7001 [Richard Levitte]
7002
7003 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7004 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7005 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7006 be handled deterministically).
7007 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7008
7009 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7010 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7011 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7012 [Bodo Moeller]
7013
7014 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7015 [Bodo Moeller]
7016
7017 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7018 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7019 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7020 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7021 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7022 [Bodo Moeller]
7023
7024 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7025 sign of the number in question.
7026
7027 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7028
7029 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7030 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7031 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7032 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7033 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7034 [Bodo Moeller]
7035
7036 *) New function BN_swap.
7037 [Bodo Moeller]
7038
7039 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7040 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7041 results on negative inputs.
7042 [Bodo Moeller]
7043
7044 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7045 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7046 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7047 [Bodo Moeller]
7048
7049 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7050 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7051 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7052 and add new functions:
7053
7054 BN_nnmod
7055 BN_mod_sqr
7056 BN_mod_add
7057 BN_mod_add_quick
7058 BN_mod_sub
7059 BN_mod_sub_quick
7060 BN_mod_lshift1
7061 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7062 BN_mod_lshift
7063 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7064
7065 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7066
7067 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7068 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7069
7070 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7071 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7072 be reduced modulo m.
7073 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7074
7075 #if 0
7076 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
7077 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7078 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7079
7080 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7081 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7082 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7083 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7084 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7085 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7086 differing sizes.
7087 [Richard Levitte]
7088 #endif
7089
7090 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7091 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7092 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7093 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7094 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7095
7096 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7097 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7098 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7099 cause any problems.
7100 [Bodo Moeller]
7101
7102 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7103 [Richard Levitte]
7104
7105 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7106 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7107 [Richard Levitte]
7108
7109 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7110 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7111 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7112 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7113 time)
7114 [Richard Levitte]
7115
7116 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7117 [Richard Levitte]
7118
7119 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7120 [Richard Levitte]
7121
7122 *) Add the following functions:
7123
7124 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7125 ENGINE_load_chil()
7126 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7127 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7128 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7129
7130 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7131 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7132 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7133 libraries unless it's really needed.
7134
7135 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7136 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7137 declarations (they differed!).
7138 [Richard Levitte]
7139
7140 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7141 [Richard Levitte]
7142
7143 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7144 [Richard Levitte]
7145
7146 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7147 [Bodo Moeller]
7148
7149 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7150 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7151 [Richard Levitte]
7152
7153 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7154 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7155 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7156
7157 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7158 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7159 [Richard Levitte]
7160
7161 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7162 [Richard Levitte]
7163
7164 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7165 [Richard Levitte]
7166
7167 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7168 [Ben Laurie]
7169
7170 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7171 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7172 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7173
7174 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7175 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7176 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7177 different shared library filenames on each system.
7178 [Geoff Thorpe]
7179
7180 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7181 [Richard Levitte]
7182
7183 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7184 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7185 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7186 of two sections.
7187 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7188
7189 *) NCONF changes.
7190 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7191 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7192 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7193 binary backward compatibility.
7194 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7195 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7196 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7197 LDAP server.
7198 [Richard Levitte]
7199
7200 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7201 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7202 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7203 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7204 this case.
7205 [Steve Henson]
7206
7207 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7208 [Ben Laurie]
7209
7210 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7211 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7212 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7213 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7214 set.
7215 [Steve Henson]
7216
7217 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7218 [Richard Levitte]
7219
7220 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7221
7222 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7223 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7224 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7225
7226 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7227
7228 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7229
7230 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7231 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7232 [Steve Henson]
7233
7234 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7235
7236 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7237
7238 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7239 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7240
7241 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7242 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7243
7244 [Steve Henson]
7245
7246 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7247 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7248 specifications.
7249 [Steve Henson]
7250
7251 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7252 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7253 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7254 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7255
7256 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7257 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7258 [Richard Levitte]
7259
7260 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7261
7262 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7263 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7264 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7265 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7266 [Bodo Moeller]
7267
7268 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7269 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7270 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7271 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7272 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7273
7274 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7275 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7276 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7277 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7278 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7279 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7280 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7281 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7282 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7283 [Bodo Moeller]
7284
7285 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7286
7287 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7288 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7289 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7290 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7291 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7292
7293 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7294 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7295 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7296
7297 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7298
7299 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7300 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7301 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7302 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7303 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7304 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7305 [Geoff Thorpe]
7306
7307 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7308 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7309 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7310 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7311 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7312 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7313
7314 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7315 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7316 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7317
7318 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7319 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7320 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7321 EVP_cleanup().
7322 [Richard Levitte]
7323
7324 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7325 being properly terminated.
7326 [Richard Levitte]
7327
7328 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7329 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7330 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7331 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7332
7333 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7334 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7335 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7336 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7337 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7338 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7339 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7340 change.
7341 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7342
7343 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7344 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7345 [Bodo Moeller]
7346
7347 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7348 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7349 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7350 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7351 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7352 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7353 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7354 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7355
7356 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7357 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7358 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7359 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7360 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7361
7362 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7363 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7364 [Steve Henson]
7365
7366 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7367
7368 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7369 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7370 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7371
7372 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7373
7374 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7375 and get fix the header length calculation.
7376 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7377 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7378 Steve Henson]
7379
7380 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7381 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7382 assertions could call abort()).
7383 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7384
7385 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7386
7387 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7388 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7389 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7390 supplied buffer.
7391 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7392
7393 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7394 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7395 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7396 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7397
7398 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7399 [Nils Larsch]
7400
7401 *) New option
7402 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7403 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7404 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7405
7406 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7407 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7408 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7409 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7410 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7411 applications.
7412 [Bodo Moeller]
7413
7414 *) Changes in security patch:
7415
7416 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7417 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7418 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7419 F30602-01-2-0537.
7420
7421 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7422 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7423 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7424 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7425 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7426
7427 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7428 happen in practice.
7429 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7430
7431 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7432 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7433 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7434
7435 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7436 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7437 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7438
7439 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7440 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7441 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7442
7443 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7444
7445 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7446 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7447 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7448
7449 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7450 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7451
7452 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7453 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7454 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7455 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7456 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7457 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7458 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7459
7460 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7461 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7462 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7463 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7464 [Bodo Moeller]
7465
7466 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7467 [Bodo Moeller]
7468
7469 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7470 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7471 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7472 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7473 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7474 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7475
7476 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7477 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7478 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7479 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7480 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7481 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7482
7483 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7484 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7485 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7486 BN_generate_prime().)
7487
7488 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7489 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7490 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7491 better.
7492 [Bodo Moeller]
7493
7494 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7495 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7496 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7497
7498 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7499 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7500 when using non-blocking I/O.
7501 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7502
7503 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7504 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7505
7506 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7507 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7508 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7509
7510 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7511 configuration for the versions before that.
7512 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7513
7514 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7515 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7516 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7517 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7518 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7519
7520 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7521 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7522 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7523 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7524
7525 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7526 value is 0.
7527 [Richard Levitte]
7528
7529 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7530 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7531 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7532
7533 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7534 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7535
7536 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7537 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7538 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7539 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7540 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7541 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7542 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7543 session cache.
7544
7545 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7546 using a local variable.
7547 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7548
7549 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7550 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7551 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7552
7553 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7554 [Richard Levitte]
7555
7556 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7557 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7558
7559 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7560 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7561 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7562
7563 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7564
7565 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7566 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7567 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7568 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7569 [Bodo Moeller]
7570
7571 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7572 present.
7573 [Steve Henson]
7574
7575 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7576 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7577 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7578 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7579 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7580
7581 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7582 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7583 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7584
7585 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7586 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7587 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7588
7589 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7590 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7591 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7592 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7593
7594 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7595 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7596 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7597 modules).
7598 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7599
7600 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7601 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7602 from 0.9.7.
7603 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7604
7605 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7606 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7607 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7608 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7609
7610 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7611 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7612 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7613 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7614
7615 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7616 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7617
7618 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7619 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7620 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7621 [Bodo Moeller]
7622
7623 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7624 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7625 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7626 become invalid.
7627 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7628
7629 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7630 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7631 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7632 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7633 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7634 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7635 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7636 [Bodo Moeller]
7637
7638 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7639 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7640 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7641 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7642
7643 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7644 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7645 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7646 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7647 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7648 the client will at least see that alert.
7649 [Bodo Moeller]
7650
7651 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7652 correctly.
7653 [Bodo Moeller]
7654
7655 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7656 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7657 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7658
7659 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7660 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
7661 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7662 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7663 HelloRequest.
7664
7665 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7666 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7667 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7668
7669 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7670 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7671 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7672 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7673 may leak via logfiles.)
7674
7675 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7676 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7677 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7678 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7679 the legal range.
7680 [Bodo Moeller]
7681
7682 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7683 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7684 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7685
7686 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7687 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7688 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7689 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7690 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7691 [Bodo Moeller]
7692
7693 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7694 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7695
7696 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7697 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7698 followed by modular reduction.
7699 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
7700
7701 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
7702 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
7703 [Bodo Moeller]
7704
7705 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
7706 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
7707 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
7708 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
7709 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7710
7711 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
7712 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7713
7714 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
7715 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
7716 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7717
7718 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
7719 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
7720 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
7721 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
7722 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
7723 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
7724 automatically.
7725 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
7726
7727 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
7728 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
7729 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
7730 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
7731 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
7732
7733 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
7734 [Andy Polyakov]
7735
7736 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
7737 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
7738 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
7739 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
7740 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
7741 to allow the necessary settings.
7742 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7743
7744 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
7745 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
7746 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
7747 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
7748 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7749
7750 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
7751 dh->length and always used
7752
7753 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
7754
7755 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
7756 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
7757 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
7758 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
7759 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
7760 dh->length.
7761
7762 So switch back to
7763
7764 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
7765
7766 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
7767 otherwise.
7768 [Bodo Moeller]
7769
7770 *) In
7771
7772 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
7773 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
7774 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
7775 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
7776
7777 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
7778 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
7779 always reject numbers >= n.
7780 [Bodo Moeller]
7781
7782 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
7783 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
7784 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
7785 variable) is not atomic.
7786 [Bodo Moeller]
7787
7788 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7789 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7790 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7791 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7792
7793 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7794 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7795
7796 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7797 little-endian MIPS.
7798 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7799
7800 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7801 [Richard Levitte]
7802
7803 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7804
7805 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7806 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7807 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7808 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7809 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7810 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7811 to traverse all of 'state'.
7812
7813 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7814 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7815 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7816
7817 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7818 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7819
7820 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7821 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7822 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7823 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7824 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7825 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7826 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7827 further strengthens the PRNG.
7828 [Bodo Moeller]
7829
7830 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7831 [Andy Polyakov]
7832
7833 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7834 an error message in this case.
7835 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7836
7837 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7838 [Steve Henson]
7839
7840 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7841 positive and less than q.
7842 [Bodo Moeller]
7843
7844 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7845 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7846 that itself.
7847 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7848
7849 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7850 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7851 [Bodo Moeller]
7852
7853 *) Fix OAEP check.
7854 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7855
7856 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7857 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7858 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7859 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7860 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7861 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7862 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7863 paper.)
7864
7865 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7866 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7867 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7868 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7869
7870 Both problems are now fixed.
7871 [Bodo Moeller]
7872
7873 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7874 (previously it was 1024).
7875 [Bodo Moeller]
7876
7877 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7878 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7879 [Steve Henson]
7880
7881 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7882 [Steve Henson]
7883
7884 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7885 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7886 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7887 [Steve Henson]
7888
7889 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7890 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7891 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7892 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7893 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7894 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7895 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7896 environment variables.
7897
7898 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7899 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7900 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7901 [Bodo Moeller]
7902
7903 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7904 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7905 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7906 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7907 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7908 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7909 [Bodo Moeller]
7910
7911 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7912 versions of 'test'.
7913 [Bodo Moeller]
7914
7915 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7916
7917 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7918 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7919
7920 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7921 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7922 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7923 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7924 CygWin.
7925 [Richard Levitte]
7926
7927 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7928 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7929 amount of data available.
7930 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7931 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7932
7933 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7934 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7935 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7936 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7937 [Bodo Moeller]
7938
7939 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7940 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7941 and UnixWare.
7942 [Richard Levitte]
7943
7944 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7945 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7946 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7947 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7948 [Ulf Moeller]
7949
7950 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7951 [Andy Polyakov]
7952
7953 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7954 [Richard Levitte]
7955
7956 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7957 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7958 [Steve Henson]
7959 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7960
7961 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7962 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7963 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7964 (but broken) behaviour.
7965 [Steve Henson]
7966
7967 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7968 it when found.
7969 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7970
7971 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7972 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7973 [Bodo Moeller]
7974
7975 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7976 did not exist.
7977 [Bodo Moeller]
7978
7979 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7980 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7981
7982 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7983 [Richard Levitte]
7984
7985 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7986 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7987 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7988
7989 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7990 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7991 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7992 [Steve Henson]
7993
7994 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7995 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7996 [Ulf Moeller]
7997
7998 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7999 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8000
8001 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8002
8003 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8004
8005 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8006 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8007 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8008 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8009 [Bodo Moeller]
8010
8011 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8012 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8013
8014 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8015 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8016 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8017
8018 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8019 was empty.
8020 [Steve Henson]
8021 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8022
8023 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8024 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8025 but the code is actually correct.
8026 [Steve Henson]
8027
8028 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8029 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8030 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8031 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8032 and leaves the highest bit random.
8033 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8034
8035 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8036 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8037 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8038 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8039 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8040 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8041 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8042 [Bodo Moeller]
8043
8044 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8045 [Ulf Moeller]
8046
8047 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8048 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8049 [Steve Henson]
8050
8051 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8052 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8053 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8054 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8055 headers.
8056 [Richard Levitte]
8057
8058 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8059 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8060 and break the signature.
8061 [Steve Henson]
8062 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8063
8064 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8065 DH ciphersuites.
8066 [Steve Henson]
8067
8068 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8069 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8070 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8071 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8072 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8073 [Bodo Moeller]
8074
8075 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8076 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8077
8078 *) ./config script fixes.
8079 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8080
8081 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8082 [Bodo Moeller]
8083
8084 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8085 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8086 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8087 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8088 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8089
8090 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8091 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8092 [Bodo Moeller]
8093
8094 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8095 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8096 [Steve Henson]
8097
8098 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8099 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8100 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8101 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8102
8103 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8104 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8105
8106 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8107 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8108 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8109 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8110 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8111
8112 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8113 [Bodo Moeller]
8114
8115 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8116 [Ulf Möller]
8117
8118 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8119 [Ulf Möller]
8120
8121 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8122 [Bodo Moeller]
8123
8124 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8125 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8126 [Bodo Moeller]
8127
8128 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8129 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8130 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8131 result of the server certificate verification.)
8132 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8133
8134 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8135 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8136 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8137 [Bodo Moeller]
8138
8139 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8140 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8141 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8142 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8143 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8144 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8145 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8146 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8147 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8148 [Bodo Moeller]
8149
8150 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8151 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8152 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8153 happening the other way round.
8154 [Geoff Thorpe]
8155
8156 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8157 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8158 [Bodo Moeller]
8159
8160 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8161 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8162 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8163 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8164 [Richard Levitte]
8165
8166 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8167 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8168
8169 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8170
8171 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8172 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8173 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8174 that.
8175
8176 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8177
8178 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8179
8180 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8181 static ones.
8182 [Richard Levitte]
8183
8184 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8185
8186 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8187 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8188 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8189 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8190 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8191
8192 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8193 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
8194 matter what.
8195 [Richard Levitte]
8196
8197 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8198 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8199
8200 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8201
8202 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8203 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8204 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8205 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8206 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8207 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8208 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8209 by the Finished messages.
8210 [Bodo Moeller]
8211
8212 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8213 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8214
8215 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8216 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8217 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8218 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8219 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8220 appropriately.
8221 [Steve Henson]
8222
8223 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8224 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8225 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8226 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8227 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8228 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8229 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8230 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8231 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8232 together.
8233 [Steve Henson]
8234
8235 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8236 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8237 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8238 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8239
8240 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8241 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8242 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8243 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8244 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8245 the answer.
8246
8247 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8248 been tested well enough.
8249 [Richard Levitte]
8250
8251 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8252 it can return incorrect results.
8253 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8254 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8255 [Bodo Moeller]
8256
8257 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8258 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8259 include zero length content when signing messages.
8260 [Steve Henson]
8261
8262 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8263 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8264 [Bodo Möller]
8265
8266 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8267 [Richard Levitte]
8268
8269 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8270 wrong sign.
8271 [Ulf Möller]
8272
8273 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8274 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8275 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8276 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8277 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8278 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8279 [Richard Levitte]
8280
8281 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8282 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8283
8284 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8285 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8286
8287 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8288 random number < q in the DSA library.
8289 [Ulf Möller]
8290
8291 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8292 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8293 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8294 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8295 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8296 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8297 just makes things more complicated.)
8298 [Bodo Moeller]
8299
8300 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8301 from EGD.
8302 [Ben Laurie]
8303
8304 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8305 work better on such systems.
8306 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8307
8308 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8309 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8310 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8311 [Steve Henson]
8312
8313 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8314 if there was more than one signature.
8315 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8316
8317 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8318 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
8319 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8320 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8321 [Richard Levitte]
8322
8323 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8324 rather than always using the current time.
8325 [Steve Henson]
8326
8327 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8328 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8329 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8330 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8331 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8332 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8333
8334 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8335 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8336
8337 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8338
8339 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8340 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8341 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8342 the same hash value.
8343
8344 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8345 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8346 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8347 with X509_STORE internally.
8348
8349 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8350 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8351
8352 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8353 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8354 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8355 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8356 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8357 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8358 entirely (maybe later...).
8359
8360 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8361
8362 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8363 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8364 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8365 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8366 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8367 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8368 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8369 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8370
8371 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8372 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8373
8374 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8375 to customise the verify behaviour.
8376 [Steve Henson]
8377
8378 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8379 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8380 [Steve Henson]
8381
8382 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8383 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8384 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8385 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8386 request is improperly encoded.
8387 [Steve Henson]
8388
8389 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8390 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8391 BIO_write(b, ...).
8392
8393 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8394 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8395
8396 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8397 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8398 words set to zero.)
8399 [Bodo Moeller]
8400
8401 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8402 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8403 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8404 [Bodo Moeller]
8405
8406 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8407 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8408 BIO/fp routines also added.
8409 [Steve Henson]
8410
8411 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8412 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8413
8414 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8415 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8416 demos/state_machine.
8417 [Ben Laurie]
8418
8419 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8420 generation and verification.
8421 [Steve Henson]
8422
8423 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8424 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8425 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8426 encode and decode it manually.
8427 [Steve Henson]
8428
8429 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8430 compile under VC++.
8431 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8432
8433 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8434 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8435 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8436 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8437
8438 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8439 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8440 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8441 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8442 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8443 [Steve Henson]
8444
8445 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8446 [Richard Levitte]
8447
8448 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8449 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8450 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8451
8452 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8453 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8454 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8455 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8456 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8457 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8458 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8459 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8460
8461 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8462 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8463
8464 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8465
8466 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8467 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8468 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8469
8470 [Richard Levitte]
8471
8472 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8473 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8474 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8475 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8476 [Richard Levitte]
8477
8478 *) MD4 implemented.
8479 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8480
8481 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8482 [Richard Levitte]
8483
8484 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8485 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8486 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8487 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8488 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8489 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8490 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8491 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8492 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8493 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8494 short or long names are found.
8495 [Steve Henson]
8496
8497 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8498 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8499
8500 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8501 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8502 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8503 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8504
8505 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8506 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8507 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8508 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8509 [Bodo Moeller]
8510
8511 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8512 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8513 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8514 [Richard Levitte]
8515
8516 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8517 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8518 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8519 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8520 to allow the various flags to be set.
8521 [Steve Henson]
8522
8523 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8524 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8525 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8526 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8527 dates to be checked.
8528 [Steve Henson]
8529
8530 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8531 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8532 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8533 [Steve Henson]
8534
8535 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8536 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8537 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8538 [Steve Henson]
8539
8540 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8541 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8542 [Bodo Moeller]
8543
8544 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8545 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8546 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8547 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8548 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8549 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8550 [Richard Levitte]
8551
8552 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8553 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8554 Random Numbers.
8555 [Ulf Möller]
8556
8557 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8558 DSA key.
8559 [Steve Henson]
8560
8561 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8562 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8563 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8564 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8565 form signing output easier to verify.
8566 [Steve Henson]
8567
8568 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8569 [Steve Henson]
8570
8571 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8572 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8573 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8574 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8575 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8576 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8577 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8578 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8579 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8580 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8581 [Steve Henson]
8582
8583 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8584
8585 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8586 the syntax given in objects.README.
8587 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8588 obj_mac.h.
8589 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8590 obj_mac.h.
8591
8592 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8593 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8594 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8595 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8596 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8597 consistent name changes.
8598 [Richard Levitte]
8599
8600 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8601 [Bodo Moeller]
8602
8603 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8604 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8605 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8606 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8607 [Richard Levitte]
8608
8609 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8610 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8611 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8612 of safestack.h .
8613 [Steve Henson]
8614
8615 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8616 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8617 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8618 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8619 [Steve Henson]
8620
8621 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8622 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8623 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8624 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8625 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8626 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8627 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8628 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8629 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8630 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8631 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8632 [Steve Henson]
8633
8634 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8635 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8636 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8637 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
8638 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8639 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8640 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8641 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8642 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8643 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8644 [Steve Henson]
8645
8646 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8647 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8648 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8649 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8650
8651 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8652 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8653 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8654 omit any duplicate addresses.
8655 [Steve Henson]
8656
8657 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8658 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8659 [Bodo Moeller]
8660
8661 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8662 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8663 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8664 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8665 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8666 [Bodo Moeller]
8667
8668 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8669 software:
8670 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8671 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8672 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8673 Free => OPENSSL_free
8674 [Richard Levitte]
8675
8676 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8677 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8678 [Bodo Moeller]
8679
8680 *) CygWin32 support.
8681 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8682
8683 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8684 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8685 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8686 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8687 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8688 approach.
8689 [Geoff Thorpe]
8690
8691 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8692 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8693 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8694 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8695 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8696 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8697 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8698 [Geoff Thorpe]
8699
8700 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
8701 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
8702 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
8703 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
8704 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
8705 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
8706 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
8707 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
8708 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
8709 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
8710 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
8711 [Bodo Moeller]
8712
8713 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
8714 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
8715 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
8716 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
8717 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
8718
8719 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
8720 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
8721 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
8722 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
8723 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
8724
8725 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
8726 ciphers.
8727
8728 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
8729 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
8730 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
8731 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
8732
8733 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
8734
8735 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
8736 of macros.
8737
8738 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
8739 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
8740 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
8741 flags.
8742
8743 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
8744 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
8745 any installed hardware versions can.
8746 [Steve Henson]
8747
8748 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
8749 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
8750 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
8751 number.
8752 [Bodo Moeller]
8753
8754 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
8755 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
8756 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
8757 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
8758 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
8759
8760 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
8761 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
8762 [Steve Henson]
8763
8764 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
8765 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
8766 [Richard Levitte]
8767
8768 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
8769 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
8770 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
8771 features.
8772 [Steve Henson]
8773
8774 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
8775 [Ulf Möller]
8776
8777 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
8778 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
8779 but no ssl client purpose.
8780 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
8781
8782 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
8783 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
8784 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
8785 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
8786 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
8787 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8788 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8789 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8790 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8791 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8792 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8793 [Steve Henson]
8794
8795 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8796 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8797 be obtained from the error queue.
8798 [Bodo Moeller]
8799
8800 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8801 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8802 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8803 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8804 [Bodo Moeller]
8805
8806 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8807 [Ulf Möller]
8808
8809 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8810 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8811 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8812 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8813 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8814 [Geoff Thorpe]
8815
8816 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8817 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8818 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8819 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8820 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8821 [Geoff Thorpe]
8822
8823 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8824 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8825 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8826 may not be NULL.
8827 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8828
8829 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8830 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8831 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8832 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8833 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8834 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8835 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8836 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8837 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8838 or "the configuration storage API"...
8839
8840 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8841
8842 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8843 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8844
8845 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8846
8847 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8848
8849 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8850 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8851 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8852 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8853 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8854 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8855 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8856
8857 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8858 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8859 [Richard Levitte]
8860
8861 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8862 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8863 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8864 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8865 [Bodo Moeller]
8866
8867 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8868 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8869 them in a portable way.
8870 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8871
8872 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8873
8874 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8875
8876 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8877 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8878
8879 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8880 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8881 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8882 <attili@amaxo.com>]
8883
8884 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8885 was larger than the MD block size.
8886 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8887
8888 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8889 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8890 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8891 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8892 components.
8893 [Steve Henson]
8894
8895 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8896 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8897 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8898
8899 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8900 discouraged.
8901 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8902
8903 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8904 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8905 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8906 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8907 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8908 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8909
8910 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8911 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8912
8913 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8914 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8915 [Bodo Moeller]
8916
8917 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8918 [Bodo Moeller]
8919
8920 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8921 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8922 its own key.
8923 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8924 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8925 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
8926 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8927 [Bodo Moeller]
8928
8929 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8930 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8931 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8932 does not suppress any output.
8933 [Richard Levitte]
8934
8935 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8936 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8937 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8938 with all the associated security issues.
8939
8940 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8941 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8942 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8943 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8944 use the value in the default purpose.
8945 [Steve Henson]
8946
8947 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8948 and fix a memory leak.
8949 [Steve Henson]
8950
8951 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8952 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8953 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8954 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8955 [Bodo Moeller]
8956
8957 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8958 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8959 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8960 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8961 [Bodo Moeller]
8962
8963 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8964 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8965 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8966 [Bodo Moeller]
8967
8968 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8969 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8970 [Bodo Moeller]
8971
8972 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8973 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8974 which was free.
8975 [Steve Henson]
8976
8977 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8978 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8979 [Bodo Moeller]
8980
8981 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8982 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8983 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8984 [Bodo Moeller]
8985
8986 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8987 number generation fails.
8988 [Bodo Moeller]
8989
8990 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8991 [Bodo Moeller]
8992
8993 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8994 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8995
8996 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8997 [Ulf Möller]
8998
8999 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9000 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9001
9002 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9003 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9004
9005 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9006
9007 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9008 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9009 [Steve Henson]
9010
9011 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9012 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9013
9014 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9015 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9016 [Ulf Möller]
9017
9018 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9019 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9020 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9021 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9022 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9023 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9024
9025 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9026 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9027 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9028 for example.
9029 [Steve Henson]
9030
9031 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9032 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9033 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9034 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9035 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9036 counter, some don't.)
9037 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9038 counters or duplicate objects.
9039 [Steve Henson]
9040
9041 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9042 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9043 [Steve Henson]
9044
9045 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9046 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9047 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9048
9049 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9050 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9051 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9052 or -rand.
9053 [Ulf Möller]
9054
9055 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9056 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9057 [Steve Henson]
9058
9059 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9060 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9061 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9062 cipher list.
9063 [Steve Henson]
9064
9065 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9066 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9067 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9068 [Steve Henson]
9069
9070 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9071 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9072 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9073 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9074 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9075 should work without changes.
9076 [Richard Levitte]
9077
9078 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9079 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9080 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9081 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9082 must be defined. E.g.,
9083 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9084 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9085 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9086 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9087
9088 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9089 record layer.
9090 [Bodo Moeller]
9091
9092 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9093 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9094 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9095 [Steve Henson]
9096
9097 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9098 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9099 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9100 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9101 [Steve Henson]
9102
9103 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9104 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9105 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9106 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9107 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9108 is prompted for as usual.
9109 [Steve Henson]
9110
9111 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9112 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9113 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9114 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9115
9116 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9117 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9118 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9119 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9120 [Steve Henson]
9121
9122 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9123 [Andy Polyakov]
9124
9125 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9126 of seed file.
9127 [Steve Henson]
9128
9129 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9130 [Bodo Moeller]
9131
9132 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9133 [Steve Henson]
9134
9135 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9136 bits.
9137 [Ulf Möller]
9138
9139 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9140 [Ulf Möller]
9141
9142 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9143 [Andy Polyakov]
9144
9145 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9146 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9147 [Ulf Möller]
9148
9149 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9150 options to produce them.
9151 [Steve Henson]
9152
9153 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9154 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9155 [Ulf Möller]
9156
9157 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9158 for p == 0.
9159 [Ulf Möller]
9160
9161 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9162 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9163 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9164 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9165 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9166 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9167 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9168 [Steve Henson]
9169
9170 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9171 [Steve Henson]
9172
9173 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9174 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9175 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9176 [Bodo Moeller]
9177
9178 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9179 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9180
9181 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9182 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9183 [Ulf Möller]
9184
9185 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9186 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9187 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9188 has already seen).
9189 [Bodo Moeller]
9190
9191 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9192 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9193
9194 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9195 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9196 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9197 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9198 generation becomes much faster.
9199
9200 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9201 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9202 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9203 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9204 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9205 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9206 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9207 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9208 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9209 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9210 [Bodo Moeller]
9211
9212 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9213 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9214 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9215 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9216 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9217 trial division stage.
9218 [Bodo Moeller]
9219
9220 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9221 as ASN1_TIME.
9222 [Steve Henson]
9223
9224 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9225 [Steve Henson]
9226
9227 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9228 [Ulf Möller]
9229
9230 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9231 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9232 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9233 the comments.
9234 [Ulf Möller]
9235
9236 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9237 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9238 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9239 [Bodo Moeller]
9240
9241 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9242 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9243 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9244 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9245
9246 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9247 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9248 [Steve Henson]
9249
9250 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9251 [Ulf Möller]
9252
9253 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9254 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9255 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9256 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9257 [Ulf Möller]
9258
9259 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9260 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9261 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9262 [Ulf Möller]
9263
9264 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9265 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9266 (instead of parameters) in future.
9267 [Steve Henson]
9268
9269 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9270 when a new cipher list is set.
9271 [Steve Henson]
9272
9273 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9274 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9275 wrong.
9276
9277 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9278 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9279 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9280
9281 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9282 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9283 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9284 an error is flagged.
9285
9286 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9287 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9288 the readability was also increased :-)
9289 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9290
9291 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9292 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9293 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9294 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9295 as the root CA.
9296 [Steve Henson]
9297
9298 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9299 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9300 [Steve Henson]
9301
9302 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9303 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9304 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
9305 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9306 instead.
9307
9308 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9309 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9310 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9311 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9312 because they handle more complex structures.)
9313 [Steve Henson]
9314
9315 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9316 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9317 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9318 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9319
9320 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9321 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9322 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9323 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9324 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9325 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9326 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9327 [Ulf Möller]
9328
9329 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9330 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9331 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9332 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9333 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9334 [Bodo Moeller]
9335
9336 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9337 [Bodo Moeller]
9338
9339 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9340 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9341 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9342 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9343 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9344 to use this.
9345
9346 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9347 code.
9348 [Steve Henson]
9349
9350 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9351 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9352 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9353 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9354 [Steve Henson]
9355
9356 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9357 [Ulf Möller]
9358
9359 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9360 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9361 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9362 international characters are used.
9363
9364 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9365 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9366 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9367 in ASN1 order.
9368 [Steve Henson]
9369
9370 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9371 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9372 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9373 request.
9374
9375 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9376 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9377 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9378 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9379 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9380 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9381
9382 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9383 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9384 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9385 be handled by the string table functions.
9386
9387 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9388 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9389 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9390 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9391 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9392 types at all.
9393 [Steve Henson]
9394
9395 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9396 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9397 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9398 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9399 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9400
9401 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9402 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9403 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9404 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9405 [Bodo Moeller]
9406
9407 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9408 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9409 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9410 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9411 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9412 SHA1.
9413 [Andy Polyakov]
9414
9415 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9416 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9417 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9418 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9419 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9420 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9421 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9422 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9423
9424 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9425 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9426 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9427 [Steve Henson]
9428
9429 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9430 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9431 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9432 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9433 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9434 support to pkcs8 application.
9435 [Steve Henson]
9436
9437 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9438 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9439 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9440 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9441 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9442 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9443 [Bodo Moeller]
9444
9445 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9446 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9447 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9448 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9449 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9450 consistency.
9451 [Bodo Moeller]
9452
9453 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9454 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9455 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9456 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9457 example.
9458 [Steve Henson]
9459
9460 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9461 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9462 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9463 and any application specific purposes.
9464
9465 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9466 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9467 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9468 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9469 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9470 if the certificate is self signed.
9471 [Steve Henson]
9472
9473 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9474 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9475 [Steve Henson]
9476
9477 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9478 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9479 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9480 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9481 [Steve Henson]
9482
9483 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9484 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9485 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9486 Update documentation.
9487 [Steve Henson]
9488
9489 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9490 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9491 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9492 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9493 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9494 [Steve Henson]
9495
9496 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9497 for details.
9498 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9499
9500 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9501 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9502 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9503 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9504 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9505 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9506 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9507 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9508 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9509 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9510
9511 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9512
9513 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9514 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9515 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9516 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9517 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9518
9519 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9520 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9521 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9522 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9523 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9524 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9525 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9526 request additional information:
9527 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9528 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9529
9530 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9531 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9532 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9533 options.
9534
9535 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9536 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9537
9538 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
9539 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9540 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
9541
9542 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9543 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9544
9545 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9546 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9547 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9548 algorithm.
9549 [Steve Henson]
9550
9551 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9552 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9553 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9554
9555 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9556 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9557 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9558 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9559 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9560 included in OpenSSL.
9561 [Steve Henson]
9562
9563 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9564 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9565 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9566 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9567 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9568 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9569 [Bodo Moeller]
9570
9571 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9572 PKCS12 structure.
9573 [Steve Henson]
9574
9575 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9576 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9577 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9578 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9579 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9580 structure.
9581 [Steve Henson]
9582
9583 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9584 need initialising.
9585 [Steve Henson]
9586
9587 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9588 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9589 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9590 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9591 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9592 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9593 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9594 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9595 be maintained manually.
9596
9597 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9598 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9599 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9600 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9601 work because people forget to call this function]
9602 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9603 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9604 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9605 [Steve Henson]
9606
9607 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9608 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9609 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9610 should be discouraged from doing it.
9611 [Ben Laurie]
9612
9613 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9614 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9615 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9616 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9617 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9618 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9619 [Steve Henson]
9620
9621 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9622 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9623 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9624
9625 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9626 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9627 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9628
9629 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9630 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9631 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9632 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9633 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9634 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9635
9636 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9637 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9638 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9639
9640 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9641 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9642 and vice versa.
9643
9644 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9645 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9646 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9647 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9648 [Steve Henson]
9649
9650 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9651 [Steve Henson]
9652
9653 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9654 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9655 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9656 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9657 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9658 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9659 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9660 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9661 keys so we should be OK.
9662
9663 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9664 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9665 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9666 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9667 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9668 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9669 stay in the name of compatibility.
9670
9671 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9672 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9673 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9674
9675 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9676 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9677 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9678 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9679 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9680 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9681 supplied key).
9682 [Steve Henson]
9683
9684 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9685 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9686 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9687 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9688 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9689 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9690 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9691 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9692 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9693 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9694 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9695 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9696 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9697 [Steve Henson]
9698
9699 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
9700 [Steve Henson]
9701
9702 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
9703 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
9704 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
9705 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
9706 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
9707 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
9708 single self signed certificate. This means that:
9709 openssl verify ss.pem
9710 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
9711 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
9712 is OK.
9713 [Steve Henson]
9714
9715 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
9716 (and add it to external session representation).
9717 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
9718 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
9719 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
9720 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
9721 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
9722 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
9723 security holes.
9724 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
9725
9726 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
9727 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
9728 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
9729 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
9730
9731 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
9732 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
9733 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
9734 [Steve Henson]
9735
9736 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
9737 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
9738 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
9739 code.
9740 [Steve Henson]
9741
9742 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
9743 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
9744 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
9745
9746 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
9747 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
9748 certificate auxiliary information.
9749 [Steve Henson]
9750
9751 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
9752 the 'enc' command.
9753 [Steve Henson]
9754
9755 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
9756 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
9757 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
9758 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
9759 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
9760 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
9761 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
9762 [Richard Levitte]
9763
9764 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
9765 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
9766 [Steve Henson]
9767
9768 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
9769 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9770 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
9771 manpages and fix a few bugs.
9772 [Steve Henson]
9773
9774 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
9775 [Steve Henson]
9776
9777 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
9778 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
9779 [Steve Henson]
9780
9781 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
9782 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
9783 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
9784 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
9785 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
9786 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
9787 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9788 using the new 'x509' options.
9789
9790 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9791 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9792 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9793 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9794 for all purposes.
9795 [Steve Henson]
9796
9797 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9798 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9799 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9800 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9801 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9802 [Mark Cox]
9803
9804 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9805 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9806 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9807 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9808 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9809 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9810 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9811 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9812 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9813 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9814 [Steve Henson]
9815
9816 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9817 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9818 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9819 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9820 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9821 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9822 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9823 [Steve Henson]
9824
9825 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9826 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9827 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9828 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9829 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9830 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9831 openssl.cnf for more info.
9832 [Steve Henson]
9833
9834 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9835 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9836 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9837 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9838 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9839 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9840 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9841 md should be large enough anyway.
9842 [Bodo Moeller]
9843
9844 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9845 for handling the random seed file.
9846
9847 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9848 ca,
9849 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9850 s_client,
9851 s_server,
9852 x509 (when signing).
9853 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9854 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9855 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9856
9857 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9858 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9859 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9860 that support '-rand'.
9861 [Bodo Moeller]
9862
9863 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9864 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9865 [Bodo Moeller]
9866
9867 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9868 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9869 [Bill Perry]
9870
9871 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9872 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9873 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9874 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9875 is suitable.
9876 [Steve Henson]
9877
9878 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9879 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9880 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9881 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9882 [Steve Henson]
9883
9884 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9885 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9886 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9887 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9888 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9889 print out all the purposes.
9890 [Steve Henson]
9891
9892 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9893 functions.
9894 [Steve Henson]
9895
9896 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9897 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9898 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9899 single function call.
9900 [Steve Henson]
9901
9902 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9903 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9904 [Andy Polyakov]
9905
9906 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9907 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9908 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9909 [Steve Henson]
9910
9911 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9912 when producing the local key id.
9913 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9914
9915 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9916 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9917 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9918 "server.pem".
9919 [Steve Henson]
9920
9921 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9922 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9923 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9924 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9925 [Steve Henson]
9926
9927 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9928 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9929 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9930 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9931
9932 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9933 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9934 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9935 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9936
9937 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9938 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9939 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9940 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9941 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9942 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9943 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9944 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9945 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9946 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9947 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9948 trivial: move one line.
9949 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9950
9951 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9952 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9953 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9954 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9955 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9956 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9957 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9958 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9959 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9960 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9961 with an event loop for example.
9962 [Steve Henson]
9963
9964 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9965 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9966 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9967 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9968 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9969 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9970 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9971 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9972 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9973 [Steve Henson]
9974
9975 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9976 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9977 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9978 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9979 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9980 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9981 [Steve Henson]
9982
9983 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9984 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9985 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9986 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9987
9988 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9989 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9990 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9991 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9992 key generation.
9993 [Steve Henson]
9994
9995 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9996 (still largely untested)
9997 [Bodo Moeller]
9998
9999 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10000 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10001 [Steve Henson]
10002
10003 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10004 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10005 [Steve Henson]
10006
10007 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10008 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10009 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10010 [Bodo Moeller]
10011
10012 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10013 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10014 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10015 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10016 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10017 [Steve Henson]
10018
10019 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10020 [Andy Polyakov]
10021
10022 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10023 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10024 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10025 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10026 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10027 in ca.
10028 [Steve Henson]
10029
10030 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10031 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10032 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10033 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10034 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10035 [Steve Henson]
10036
10037 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10038 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10039 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10040 are otherwise ignored at present.
10041 [Steve Henson]
10042
10043 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10044 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10045 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10046 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10047 copied until the next read.
10048 [Steve Henson]
10049
10050 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10051 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10052 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10053 [Steve Henson]
10054
10055 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10056 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10057 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10058 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10059 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10060 associated functions.
10061 [Steve Henson]
10062
10063 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10064 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10065 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10066 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10067 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10068 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10069 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10070 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10071 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10072 memory BIOs.
10073 [Steve Henson]
10074
10075 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10076 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10077 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10078 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
10079 [Bodo Moeller]
10080
10081 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10082 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10083 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10084 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10085 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10086 functionality.
10087 [Steve Henson]
10088
10089 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10090 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10091 under Win32.
10092 [Steve Henson]
10093
10094 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10095 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10096 extensions to be obtained and added.
10097 [Steve Henson]
10098
10099 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10100 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10101 [Bodo Moeller]
10102
10103 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10104
10105 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10106 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10107
10108 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10109 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10110
10111 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10112 program.
10113 [Steve Henson]
10114
10115 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10116 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10117 DH parameters contain its length).
10118
10119 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10120 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10121 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10122 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10123 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10124 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10125 utter importance to use
10126 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10127 or
10128 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10129 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10130 attacks may become possible!
10131 [Bodo Moeller]
10132
10133 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10134 [Bodo Moeller]
10135
10136 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10137 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10138 [Steve Henson]
10139
10140 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10141 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10142 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10143 or long name.
10144 [Steve Henson]
10145
10146 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10147 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10148 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10149 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10150 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10151 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10152 private key operations.
10153 [Steve Henson]
10154
10155 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10156 [Andy Polyakov]
10157
10158 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10159 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10160 to
10161 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10162 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10163 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10164 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10165 the password callback is called.
10166 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10167
10168 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10169
10170 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10171 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10172 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10173 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10174 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10175 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10176 this will work.
10177
10178 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10179 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10180 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10181 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10182 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10183 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10184 [Bodo Moeller]
10185
10186 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10187 [Andy Polyakov]
10188
10189 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10190 delete an unused file.
10191 [Ulf Möller]
10192
10193 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10194 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10195 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10196 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10197 [Steve Henson]
10198
10199 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10200 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10201 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10202 of an error.
10203 [Bodo Moeller]
10204
10205 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10206 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10207 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10208
10209 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10210 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10211 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10212 comparison" warnings.
10213 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10214 [Steve Henson]
10215
10216 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10217 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10218 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10219 [Steve Henson]
10220
10221 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10222 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10223
10224 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10225 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10226
10227 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10228 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10229 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10230
10231 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10232 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10233 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10234 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10235 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10236 this bug.
10237 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10238
10239 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10240 The interface is as follows:
10241 Applications can use
10242 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10243 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10244 "off" is now the default.
10245 The library internally uses
10246 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10247 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10248 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10249
10250 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10251 even the default) are now avoided.
10252
10253 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10254 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10255 than just having a counter.
10256
10257 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10258
10259 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10260 extensions.
10261 [Bodo Moeller]
10262
10263 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10264 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10265 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10266 Initial "mode" flags are:
10267
10268 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10269 a single record has been written.
10270 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10271 retries use the same buffer location.
10272 (But all of the contents must be
10273 copied!)
10274 [Bodo Moeller]
10275
10276 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10277 worked.
10278
10279 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10280 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10281
10282 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10283 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10284 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10285 [Steve Henson]
10286
10287 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10288 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10289 test programs.
10290 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10291
10292 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10293 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10294 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10295 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10296 point to the end.
10297 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10298 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10299
10300 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10301 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10302 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10303 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10304 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10305 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10306 [Steve Henson]
10307
10308 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10309 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10310 necessary function names.
10311 [Steve Henson]
10312
10313 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10314 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10315 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10316 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10317 [Bodo Moeller]
10318
10319 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10320 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10321 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10322 [Steve Henson]
10323
10324 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10325 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10326 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10327 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10328 such programs?)
10329 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10330 need locks.
10331 [Bodo Moeller]
10332
10333 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10334 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10335 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10336 [Bodo Moeller]
10337
10338 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10339 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10340 appropriate.
10341 [Bodo Moeller]
10342
10343 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10344 for the encoded length.
10345 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10346
10347 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10348 [Steve Henson]
10349
10350 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10351 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10352 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10353 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10354 [Steve Henson]
10355
10356 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10357 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10358 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10359
10360 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10361 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10362 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10363 unusual formatting.
10364 [Steve Henson]
10365
10366 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10367 to use the new extension code.
10368 [Steve Henson]
10369
10370 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10371 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10372 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10373 constant.
10374 [Steve Henson]
10375
10376 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10377 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10378 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10379 [Bodo Moeller]
10380
10381 #if 0
10382 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10383 [Ben Laurie]
10384 #else
10385 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10386 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10387 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10388 #endif
10389
10390 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10391 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10392 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10393 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10394 [Ben Laurie]
10395
10396 *) DES library cleanups.
10397 [Ulf Möller]
10398
10399 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10400 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10401 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10402 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10403 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10404 of v2.0.
10405 [Steve Henson]
10406
10407 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10408 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10409 [Bodo Moeller]
10410
10411 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10412 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10413 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10414 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10415 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10416 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10417 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10418 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10419 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10420 [Steve Henson]
10421
10422 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10423 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10424 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10425 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10426 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10427 value doesn't matter.
10428 [Steve Henson]
10429
10430 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10431 support mutable.
10432 [Ben Laurie]
10433
10434 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10435 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10436 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10437 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10438
10439 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10440 [Ulf Möller]
10441
10442 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10443 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10444 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10445
10446 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10447 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10448
10449 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10450 [Ben Laurie]
10451
10452 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10453 [Ben Laurie]
10454
10455 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10456 [Ben Laurie]
10457
10458 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10459 [Bodo Moeller]
10460
10461
10462 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10463
10464 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10465
10466 *) Updated some demos.
10467 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10468
10469 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10470 [Wu Zhigang]
10471
10472 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10473 [Steve Henson]
10474
10475 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10476 [Steve Henson]
10477
10478 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10479 instead of using a fixed path.
10480 [Bodo Moeller]
10481
10482 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10483 [Andy Polyakov]
10484
10485 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10486 [Richard Levitte]
10487
10488
10489 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10490
10491 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10492 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10493 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10494
10495 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10496 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10497 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10498 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10499 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10500 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10501 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10502 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10503 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10504 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10505 [Steve Henson]
10506
10507 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10508 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10509 [Steve Henson]
10510
10511 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10512 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10513 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10514 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10515 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10516
10517 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10518 [Bodo Moeller]
10519
10520 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10521 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10522 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10523 [Steve Henson]
10524
10525 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10526 [Ben Laurie]
10527
10528 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10529 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10530 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10531 key elements as negative integers.
10532 [Steve Henson]
10533
10534 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10535 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10536
10537 *) VMS support.
10538 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10539
10540 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10541 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10542 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10543 [Steve Henson]
10544
10545 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10546 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10547 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10548 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10549 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10550 [Bodo Moeller]
10551
10552 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10553 [Ulf Möller]
10554
10555 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10556 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10557 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10558 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10559
10560 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10561 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10562 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10563
10564 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10565 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10566 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10567 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10568 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10569 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10570 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10571 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10572 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10573
10574 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10575 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10576 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10577 does not influence s as it used to.
10578
10579 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10580 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10581 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10582 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10583 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10584 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10585 [Bodo Moeller]
10586
10587 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10588 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10589 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10590 key type.
10591 [Steve Henson]
10592
10593 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10594 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10595 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10596 and 'x509').
10597 [Steve Henson]
10598
10599 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10600 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10601 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10602 extension option.
10603 [Steve Henson]
10604
10605 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10606 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10607 [Ben Laurie]
10608
10609 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10610 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10611
10612 *) Support Mingw32.
10613 [Ulf Möller]
10614
10615 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10616 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10617
10618 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10619 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10620
10621 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10622 [Ulf Möller]
10623
10624 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10625 [Anonymous]
10626
10627 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10629
10630 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10631 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10632 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10633 DER-encoded.)
10634 [Bodo Moeller]
10635
10636 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10637 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10638 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10639 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10640 now it really counts the depth.
10641 [Bodo Moeller]
10642
10643 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10644 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10645 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10646 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10647 didn't match the private key).
10648
10649 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10650 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10651 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10652 [Bodo Moeller]
10653
10654 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10655 [Ulf Möller]
10656
10657 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10658 David Harris.
10659 [Bodo Moeller]
10660
10661 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10662 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10663 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10664 [Bodo Moeller]
10665
10666 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10667 [Bodo Moeller]
10668
10669 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10670 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10671 such as /usr/local/bin.
10672 [Bodo Moeller]
10673
10674 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10675 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10676
10677 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10678 [Ulf Möller]
10679
10680 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10681 extension adding in x509 utility.
10682 [Steve Henson]
10683
10684 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10685 [Ulf Möller]
10686
10687 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10688 prototypes.
10689 [Steve Henson]
10690
10691 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10692 [Ulf Möller]
10693
10694 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10695 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10696 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10697 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10698 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10699 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
10700 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
10701 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
10702 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
10703 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
10704 [Steve Henson]
10705
10706 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
10707 [Bodo Moeller]
10708
10709 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
10710 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
10711 [Bodo Moeller]
10712
10713 *) Fix some race conditions.
10714 [Bodo Moeller]
10715
10716 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
10717 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
10718 [Steve Henson]
10719
10720 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
10721 [Ulf Möller]
10722
10723 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
10724 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
10725 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
10726 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
10727
10728 *) Fix lots of warnings.
10729 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10730
10731 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
10732 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
10733 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10734
10735 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
10736 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10737
10738 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
10739 [Ulf Möller]
10740
10741 *) Fix typos in error codes.
10742 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
10743
10744 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
10745 [Ulf Möller]
10746
10747 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
10748 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10749
10750 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
10751 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
10752 [Steve Henson]
10753
10754 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
10755 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
10756 [Ben Laurie]
10757
10758 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
10759 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
10760 [Steve Henson]
10761
10762 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
10763 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
10764 [Steve Henson]
10765
10766 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
10767 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
10768 [Steve Henson]
10769
10770 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
10771 support typesafe stack.
10772 [Steve Henson]
10773
10774 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
10775 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
10776
10777 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
10778 old X509V3 handling code.
10779 [Steve Henson]
10780
10781 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
10782 [Ulf Möller]
10783
10784 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
10785 [Bodo Moeller]
10786
10787 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10788 [Ben Laurie]
10789
10790 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10791 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10792
10793 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10794 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10795 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10796 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10797 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10798 [Ben Laurie]
10799
10800 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10801 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10802 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10803 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10804 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10805
10806 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10807 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10808 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10809 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10810
10811 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10812 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10813 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10815
10816 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10817 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10818 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10819 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10820 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10821 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10822 [Bodo Moeller]
10823
10824 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10825 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10826 [Bodo Moeller]
10827
10828 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10829 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10830 [Ulf Möller]
10831
10832 *) Tweaks to Configure
10833 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10834
10835 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10836 yet...
10837 [Steve Henson]
10838
10839 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10840 [Ulf Möller]
10841
10842 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10843 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10844 [Ulf Möller]
10845
10846 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10847 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10848 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10849 [Bodo Moeller]
10850
10851 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10852 [Bodo Moeller]
10853
10854 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10855 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10856 [Steve Henson]
10857
10858 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10859 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10860 to library startup routines.
10861 [Steve Henson]
10862
10863 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10864 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10865 codes along the way.
10866 [Steve Henson]
10867
10868 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10869 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10870 objects to objects.h
10871 [Steve Henson]
10872
10873 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10874 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10875 [Steve Henson]
10876
10877 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10878 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10879
10880 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10881 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10882 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10883
10884 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10885 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10886 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10887
10888 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10889 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10890 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10891
10892
10893 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10894
10895 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10896 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10897 [Ben Laurie]
10898
10899 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10900 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10901 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10902 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10903 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10904
10905 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10906 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10907 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10908 document.
10909 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10910
10911 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10912 Malloc, Free.
10913 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10914
10915 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10916 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10917
10918 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10919 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10920 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10921 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10922
10923 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10924 [Ben Laurie]
10925
10926 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10927 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10928 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10929 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10930 [Steve Henson]
10931
10932 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10933 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10934 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10935 [Steve Henson]
10936
10937 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10938 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10939 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10940 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10941 installed as `perl').
10942 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10943
10944 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10945 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10946
10947 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10948 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
10949 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10950 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10951 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10952 [Steve Henson]
10953
10954 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10955 [Ben Laurie]
10956
10957 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10958 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10959 is horrible: I feel ill....
10960 [Steve Henson]
10961
10962 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10963 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10964 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10965 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10966 [Steve Henson]
10967
10968 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10969 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10970
10971 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10972 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10973 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10974 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10975
10976 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10977 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10978 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10979 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10980 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10981 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10982 openssl_bio.xs.
10983 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10984
10985 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10986 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10987
10988 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10989 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10990
10991 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10992 [Ben Laurie]
10993
10994 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10995 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10996 in CRLs.
10997 [Steve Henson]
10998
10999 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11000 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11001 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11002 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11003 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11004 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11005 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11006 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11007 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11008 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11009 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11010
11011 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11012 [Ben Laurie]
11013
11014 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11015 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11016 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11017 for linking it into DSOs.
11018 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11019
11020 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11021 Fixed.
11022 [Ben Laurie]
11023
11024 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11025 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11026 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11027 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11028 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11029 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11030
11031 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11032 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11033 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11034 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11035 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11036 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11038
11039 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11040 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11041 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11042 encryption.
11043 [Ben Laurie]
11044
11045 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11046 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11047 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11048 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11049 [Steve Henson]
11050
11051 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11052 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11053 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11054 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11055 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11056 field as blank.
11057 [Steve Henson]
11058
11059 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11060 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11061 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11062 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11063 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11064
11065 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11066 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11067 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11068
11069 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11070 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11071
11072 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11073 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11074 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11075 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11076 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11077 [Steve Henson]
11078
11079 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11080 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11081 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11082 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11083 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11084 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11085 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11086 [Ben Laurie]
11087
11088 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11089 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11090 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11091 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11092 [Ben Laurie]
11093
11094 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11095 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11096
11097 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11098 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11099 [Steve Henson]
11100
11101 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11102 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11103 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11104 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11105 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11106 (e.g. s_server).
11107 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11108 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11109 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11110 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11111 no way to reconfigure them.
11112 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11113 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11114 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11115 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11116 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11117 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11118
11119 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11120 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11121 recognized by the users.
11122 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11123
11124 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11125 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11126 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11127 already masked variable.
11128 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11129
11130 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11131 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11132
11133 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11134 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11135 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11136 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11137
11138 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11139 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11140 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11141
11142 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11143 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11144 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11145 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11146 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11147 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11148 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11149 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11150 now, too.
11151 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11152
11153 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11154 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11155 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11156
11157 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11158 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11159 config file.
11160 [Steve Henson]
11161
11162 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11163 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11164
11165 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11166 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11167 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11168 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11169 [Ben Laurie]
11170
11171 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11172 [Steve Henson]
11173
11174 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11175 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11176
11177 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11178 [Ben Laurie]
11179
11180 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11181 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11182 [Steve Henson]
11183
11184 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11185 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11186 [Steve Henson]
11187
11188 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11189 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11190 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11191 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11192 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11193 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11194 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11195 Ben Laurie]
11196
11197 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11198 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11199
11200 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11201 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11202 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11203 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11204 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11205
11206 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11207 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11208 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11209 [Steve Henson]
11210
11211 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11212 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11213 an example.
11214 [Steve Henson]
11215
11216 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11217 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11218 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11219
11220 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11221 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11222 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11223 build instructions.
11224 [Steve Henson]
11225
11226 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11227 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11228 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11229 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11230 [Steve Henson]
11231
11232 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11233 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11234 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11235 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11236 [Ben Laurie]
11237
11238 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11239 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11240 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11241 so it wasn't spotted.
11242 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11243
11244 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11245 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11246 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11247 vectors if you have them.
11248 [Ben Laurie]
11249
11250 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11251 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11252 [Ben Laurie]
11253
11254 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11255 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11256 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11257 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11258 If you do a:
11259 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11260 it will update them.
11261 [Steve Henson]
11262
11263 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11264 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11265 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11266 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11267 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11268 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11269 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11271
11272 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11273 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11274 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11275 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11276 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11277 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11278 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11279 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11280 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11281 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11282
11283 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11284 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11285 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11286 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11287 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11288 [Steve Henson]
11289
11290 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11291 INTEGER code.
11292 [Steve Henson]
11293
11294 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11295 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11296
11297 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11298 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11299
11300 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11301 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11302 [Ben Laurie]
11303
11304 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11305 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11306
11307 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11308 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11309
11310 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11311 [Steve Henson]
11312
11313 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11314 few typos.
11315 [Steve Henson]
11316
11317 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11318 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11319 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11320 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11321
11322 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11323 [Steve Henson]
11324
11325 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11326 [Steve Henson]
11327
11328 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11329 [Steve Henson]
11330
11331 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11332 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11333 [Steve Henson]
11334
11335 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11336 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11337 CA extensions.
11338 [Steve Henson]
11339
11340 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11341 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11342 [Steve Henson]
11343
11344 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11345 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11346 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11347 [Steve Henson]
11348
11349 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11350 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11351 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11352 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11353 properly to be processed.
11354 [Steve Henson]
11355
11356 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11357 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11358 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11359 [Ben Laurie]
11360
11361 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11362 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11363
11364 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11365 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11366 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11367 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11368 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11369 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11370 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11371 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11372 or delete all the .err files.
11373 [Steve Henson]
11374
11375 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11376 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11377 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11378 to regenerate it if needed.
11379 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11380 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11381
11382 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11383 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11384
11385 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11386 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11387 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11388 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11389 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11390 [Steve Henson]
11391
11392 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11393 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11394
11395 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11396 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11397
11398 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11399 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11400 error, but didn't set one).
11401 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11402
11403 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11404 [Ben Laurie]
11405
11406 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11407 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11408 [Steve Henson]
11409
11410 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11411 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11412
11413 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11414 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11415 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11416 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11417 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11418 OID is not part of the table.
11419 [Steve Henson]
11420
11421 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11422 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11423 [Ben Laurie]
11424
11425 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11426 [Ben Laurie]
11427
11428 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11429 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11430 was "1234").
11431 [Steve Henson]
11432
11433 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11434 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11435
11436 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11437 NULL pointers.
11438 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11439
11440 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11441 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11442
11443 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11444 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11445
11446 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11447 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11448
11449 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11450 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11451 [Ben Laurie]
11452
11453 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11454 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11455 [Steve Henson]
11456
11457 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11458 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11459
11460 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11461 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11462
11463 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11464 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11465
11466 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11467 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11468
11469 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11470 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11471 unused in the certificate verification process.
11472 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11473
11474 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11475 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11476 [Steve Henson]
11477
11478 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11479 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11480 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11481
11482 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11483 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11484 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11485 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11486 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11487
11488 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11489 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11490 [Steve Henson]
11491
11492 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11493 [Steve Henson]
11494
11495 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11496 [Paul Sutton]
11497
11498 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11499 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11500
11501 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11502 [Ben Laurie]
11503
11504 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11505 [Ben Laurie]
11506
11507 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11508 [Ben Laurie]
11509
11510 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11511 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11512 other error libraries.
11513 [Steve Henson]
11514
11515 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11516 [Steve Henson]
11517
11518 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
11519 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11520 be read in.
11521 [Steve Henson]
11522
11523 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11524 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11525 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11526 the new set of documenation files.
11527 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11528
11529 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11530 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11531 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11532 number of arguments.
11533 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11534
11535 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11536 [Ben Laurie]
11537
11538 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11539 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11540 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11541
11542 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11543 [Ben Laurie]
11544
11545 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11546 nextstep
11547 ncr-scde
11548 unixware-2.0
11549 unixware-2.0-pentium
11550 sco5-cc.
11551 [Ben Laurie]
11552
11553 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11554 before they are needed.
11555 [Ben Laurie]
11556
11557 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11558 [Ben Laurie]
11559
11560
11561 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11562
11563 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11564 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11565 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11566
11567 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11568 [Paul Sutton]
11569
11570 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11571 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11572 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11573
11574 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11575 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11576 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11577
11578 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11579 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11580 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11581
11582 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11583 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11584
11585 *) Updated the README file.
11586 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11587
11588 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
11589 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
11590 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11591
11592 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
11593 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
11594 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11595
11596 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
11597 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11598 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11599 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11600 o removed obsolete TODO file
11601 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11602 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11603
11604 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11605 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11606 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
11607 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
11608 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
11609 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11610 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11611
11612 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11613 [Mark J. Cox]
11614
11615 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11616 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11617 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11618 summer 1998.
11619 [The OpenSSL Project]

11631 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11632 [Eric A. Young]
11633
11634 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
11635 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
11636 available).
11637 [Eric A. Young]
11638
11639 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
11640 binary structures

11696 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11697 [Eric A. Young]
11698
11699 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
11700 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
11701 [Eric A. Young]
