10 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
13 arguments to config / Configure.
14 [Richard Levitte]
15
16 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
17 [Paul Yang]
18
19 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
20 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
21 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
22 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
23
24 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
25 as documented in RFC6066.
26 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
27 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
28
29 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
30 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
31 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
32 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
33
34 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
35 original author does not agree with the license change.
36 [Rich Salz]
37
38 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
39 [Jon Spillett]
40
41 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
42 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
43 [Rich Salz]
44
45 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
46 without clearing the errors.
47 [Richard Levitte]
48
49 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
50 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
51 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
52 [Rich Salz]
53
54 *) Add SHA3.
55 [Andy Polyakov]
56
57 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
58 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
59 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
60 as a fallback).
61
62 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
63 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
64 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
65 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
66 [Richard Levitte]
67
68 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
69 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
70 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
71 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
72 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
73 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
74 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
75 [Richard Levitte]
76
77 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
78 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
79 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
80 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
81 [Richard Levitte]
82
83 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
84 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
85 error code calls like this:
86
87 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
88
89 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
90 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
91 affect new modules.
92 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
93
94 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
95 [Rich Salz]
96
97 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
98 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
99 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
100 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
101 [Richard Levitte]
102
103 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
104 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
105 than just the call where this user data is passed.
106 [Richard Levitte]
107
108 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
109 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
110 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
111
112 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
113 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
114 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
115 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
116 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
117 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
118 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
119 issues.
120 [Matt Caswell]
121
122 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
123 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
124 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
125 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
126 [Richard Levitte]
127
128 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
129 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
130 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
131
132 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
133 does for RSA, etc.
134 [Richard Levitte]
135
136 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
137 platform rather than 'mingw'.
138 [Richard Levitte]
139
140 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
141 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
142 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
143 certificates and CRLs.
144 [Paul Dale]
145
146 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
147 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
148 [Andy Polyakov]
149
150 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
151 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
152 [Richard Levitte]
153
154 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
155 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
156 which is the minimum version we support.
157 [Richard Levitte]
158
159 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
160 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
161 are no longer allowed.
162 [Emilia Käsper]
163
164 *) Add support for ARIA
165 [Paul Dale]
166
167 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
168 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
169 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
170 using "-servername".
171 [Matt Caswell]
172
173 *) Add support for SipHash
174 [Todd Short]
175
176 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
177 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
178 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
179 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
180 [Matt Caswell]
181
182 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
183 using the algorithm defined in
184 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
185 [Richard Levitte]
186
187 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
188 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
189
190 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
191 [Emilia Käsper]
192
193 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
194 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
195 [Rich Salz]
196
197 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [xx XXX xxxx]
198
199 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
200
201 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
202 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
203 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
204 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
205 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
206 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
207 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
208 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
209 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
210 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
211
212 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
213 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
214
215 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
216 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
217 (CVE-2017-3738)
218 [Andy Polyakov]
219
220 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
221
222 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
223
224 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
225 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
226 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
227 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
228 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
229 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
230 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
231 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
232 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
233 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
234 key that is shared between multiple clients.
235
236 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
237 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
238
239 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
240 (CVE-2017-3736)
241 [Andy Polyakov]
242
243 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
244
245 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
246 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
247 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
248
249 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
250 (CVE-2017-3735)
251 [Rich Salz]
252
253 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
254
255 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
256 platform rather than 'mingw'.
257 [Richard Levitte]
258
259 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
260 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
261 which is the minimum version we support.
262 [Richard Levitte]
263
264 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
265
266 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
267
268 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
269 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
270 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
271 and servers are affected.
272
273 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
274 (CVE-2017-3733)
275 [Matt Caswell]
276
277 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
278
279 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
280
281 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
282 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
283 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
284
285 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
286 (CVE-2017-3731)
287 [Andy Polyakov]
288
289 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
290
291 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
292 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
293 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
294 of Service attack.
295
296 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
297 (CVE-2017-3730)
298 [Matt Caswell]
299
300 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
301
302 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
303 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
304 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
305 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
306 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
307 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
308 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
309 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
310 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
311 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
312 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
313 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
314 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
315
316 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
317 (CVE-2017-3732)
318 [Andy Polyakov]
319
320 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
321
322 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
323
324 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
325 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
326 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
327
328 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
329 (CVE-2016-7054)
330 [Richard Levitte]
331
332 *) CMS Null dereference
333
334 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
335 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
336 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
337 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
338 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
339 affected.
340
341 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
342 (CVE-2016-7053)
343 [Stephen Henson]
344
345 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
346
347 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
348 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
349 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
350 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
351 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
352 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
353 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
354 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
355 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
356 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
357 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
358 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
359 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
360 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
361
362 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
363 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
364 providing reproducible case.
365 (CVE-2016-7055)
366 [Andy Polyakov]
367
368 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
369 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
370 [Richard Levitte]
371
372 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
373
374 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
375
376 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
377 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
378 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
379 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
380 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
381 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
382
383 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
384
385 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
386 (CVE-2016-6309)
387 [Matt Caswell]
388
389 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
390
391 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
392
393 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
394 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
395 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
396 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
397 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
398 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
399 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
400
401 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
402 (CVE-2016-6304)
403 [Matt Caswell]
404
405 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
406
407 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
408 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
409 Denial Of Service attack.
410
411 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
412 (CVE-2016-6305)
413 [Matt Caswell]
414
415 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
416 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
417
418 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
419 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
420 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
421 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
422 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
423 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
424 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
425 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
426 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
427 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
428 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
429 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
430 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
431 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
432 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
433
434 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
435 that the connection fails
436 or
437 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
438 very little free memory
439 or
440 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
441 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
442 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
443 memory to service the multiple requests.
444
445 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
446 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
447 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
448 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
449 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
450
451 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
452 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
453 [Matt Caswell]
454
455 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
456 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
457 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
458 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
459 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
460 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
461 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
462 [Andy Polyakov]
463
464 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
465
466 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
467 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
468 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
469 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
470 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
471 non-ASCII password.
472 [Andy Polyakov]
473
474 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
475 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
476 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
477 [Rich Salz]
478
479 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
480 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
481 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
482 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
483 [Matt Caswell]
484
485 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
486 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
487 success.
488 [Matt Caswell]
489
490 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
491 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
492 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
493 no-ops and deprecated.
494 [Matt Caswell]
495
496 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
497 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
498 were also closed.
499 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
500
501 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
502 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
503 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
504 [Rich Salz]
505
506 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
507 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
508 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
509 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
510 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
511 and the validity of object reference counter.

514 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
515 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
516 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
517 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
518 [Richard Levitte]
519
520 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
521 [Richard Levitte]
522
523 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
524 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
525 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
526 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
527
528 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
529
530 [Richard Levitte]
531
532 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
533 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
534 [Steve Henson]
535
536 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
537 [Andy Polyakov]
538
539 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
540 [Rich Salz]
541
542 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
543 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
544 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
545 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
546 name and is used as is.
547 [Richard Levitte]
548
549 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
550 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
551 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
552 [Rich Salz]
553
554 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
555 the "no-shared" Configure option.
556 [Matt Caswell]
557
558 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
559 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
560 algorithms.
561 [Matt Caswell]
562
563 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
564 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
565 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
566 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
567 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
568 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
569 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
570 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
571 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
572 [Matt Caswell]
573
574 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
575 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
576 enabled with '--debug' builds.
577 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
578
579 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
580 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
581 these have been added.
582 [Matt Caswell]
583
584 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
585 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
586 functions for managing these have been added.
587 [Richard Levitte]
588
589 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
590 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
591 these have been added.
592 [Matt Caswell]
593
594 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
595 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
596 have been added.
597 [Matt Caswell]
598
599 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
600 [Matt Caswell]
601
602 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
603 [Richard Levitte]
604
605 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
606 it is always safe to #include a header now.
607 [Rich Salz]
608
609 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
610 [Richard Levitte]
611
612 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
613 [Rich Salz]
614
615 *) Add support for HKDF.
616 [Alessandro Ghedini]
617
618 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
619 [Bill Cox]
620
621 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
622 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
623 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
624 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
625 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
626 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
627 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
628 [Matt Caswell]
629
630 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
631 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
632 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
633 [Catriona Lucey]
634
635 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
636 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
637 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
638 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
639 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
640 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
641 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
642
643 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
644 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
645 [Todd Short]
646
647 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
648 [Todd Short]
649
650 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
651 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
652 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
653 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
654 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
655 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
656 default cipherlist.
657 [Emilia Käsper]
658
659 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
660 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
661 [Rich Salz]
662
663 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
664 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
665 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
666 [Matt Caswell]
667
668 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
669 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
670 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
671 implemented by other servers.
672 [Emilia Käsper]
673
674 *) Add X25519 support.
675 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
676 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
677 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
678 key generation and key derivation.
679
680 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
681 X25519(29).
682 [Steve Henson]
683
684 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
685 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
686 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
687 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
688 seed, even if the seed is configured.
689
690 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
691 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
692 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
693 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
694 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
695 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
696 that of a valid user.
697 [Emilia Käsper]
698
699 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
700 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
701 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
702 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
703
704 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
705 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
706
707 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
708 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
709 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
710 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
711
712 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
713 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
714 irrelevant.
715 [Richard Levitte]
716
717 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
718 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
719 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
720 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
721 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
722 of how OpenSSL was configured.
723
724 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
725 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
726 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
727 [Richard Levitte]
728
729 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
730 [Rich Salz]
731
732 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
733 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
734 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
735 removed.
736 [Richard Levitte]
737
738 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
739 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
740 old #define's might need to be updated.
741 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
742
743 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
744 [Rich Salz]
745
746 *) New "unified" build system
747
748 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
749 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
750
751 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
752 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
753 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
754
755 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
756 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
757 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
758 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
759 descrip.mms.tmpl.
760
761 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
762 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
763 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
764 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
765 libraries" in INSTALL.
766
767 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
768 [Richard Levitte]
769
770 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
771 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
772 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
773 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
774 [Matt Caswell]
775
776 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
777 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
778
779 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
780 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
781 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
782 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
783 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
784 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
785 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
786 have been adapted accordingly.
787 [Richard Levitte]
788
789 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
790 the leading 0-byte.
791 [Emilia Käsper]
792
793 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
794 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
795 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
796 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
797 [Emilia Käsper]
798
799 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
800 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
801 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
802 'unsigned char*'.
803 [Emilia Käsper]
804
805 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
806 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
807 [Emilia Käsper]
808
809 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
810 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
811 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
812 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
813 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
814 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
815 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
816
817 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
818 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
819
820 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
821 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
822 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
823 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
824 Text::Template.
825
826 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
827 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
828 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
829 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
830 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
831 %target).
832 [Richard Levitte]
833
834 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
835 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
836 straightforward and less interdependent.
837
838 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
839 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
840 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
841
842 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
843 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
844 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
845 installed.
846 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
847 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
848 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
849 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
850
851 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
852 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
853 [Richard Levitte]
854
855 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
856 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
857 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
858 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
859 is present).
860 [Matt Caswell]
861
862 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
863 configuring.
864 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
865
866 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
867 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
868 before trying to build now.*
869 [Rich Salz]
870
871 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
872 has changed.
873 [Rich Salz]
874
875 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
876
877 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
878 the application's responsibility. The application provides
879 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
880 used to authenticate the peer.
881
882 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
883 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
884 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
885 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
886 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
887 [Viktor Dukhovni]
888
889 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
890 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
891 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
892 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
893 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
894 or the 1.1.0 releases.
895
896 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
897 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
898 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
899 support for the deprecated features from the library and
900 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
901 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
902 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
903 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
904 version.
905
906 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
907 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
908 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
909 compile with later releases.
910
911 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
912 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
913 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
914 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
915 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
916 [Viktor Dukhovni]
917
918 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
919 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
920 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
921 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
922 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
923 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
924 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
925 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
926 [Kurt Roeckx]
927
928 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
929 [Andy Polyakov]
930
931 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
932 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
933 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
934 ECDSA_SIG format.
935
936 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
937 include the ec.h header file instead.
938 [Steve Henson]
939
940 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
941 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
942 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
943 [Kurt Roeckx]
944
945 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
946 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
947 were added:
948
949 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
950 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
951
952 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
953 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
954 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
955
956 Additional changes:
957 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
958 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
959 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
960 an already created structure.
961 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
962 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
963 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
964 for deprecated builds.
965 [Richard Levitte]
966
967 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
968 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
969 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
970 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
971 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
972 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
973 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
974 [Matt Caswell]
975
976 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
977 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
978 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
979 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
980 [Kurt Roeckx]
981
982 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
983 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
984 [Kurt Roeckx]
985
986 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
987 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
988 [Kurt Roeckx]
989
990 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
991 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
992 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
993 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
994 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
995 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
996 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
997 also been removed.
998 [Matt Caswell]
999
1000 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1001 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1002 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1003 [Rich Salz]
1004
1005 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1006 [Rich Salz]
1007
1008 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1009 sureware and ubsec.
1010 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1011
1012 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1013
1014 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1015 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1016
1017 FOO *x;
1018
1019 it must be:
1020
1021 FOO x;
1022
1023 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1024 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1025
1026 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1027 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1028 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1029 SEQUENCE OF.
1030 [Steve Henson]
1031
1032 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1033 [Emilia Käsper]
1034
1035 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1036 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1037 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1038 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1039 [Matt Caswell]
1040
1041 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1042 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1043 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1044 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1045 [Emilia Käsper]
1046
1047 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1048 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1049 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1050
1051 *) New testing framework
1052 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1053 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1054 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1055 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1056 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1057 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1058
1059 For documentation on our testing modules, do:

1062 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1063
1064 [Richard Levitte]
1065
1066 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1067 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1068 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1069 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1070 [Rich Salz]
1071
1072 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1073 return an error
1074 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1075
1076 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1077 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1078
1079 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1080 original RSA_PSK patch.
1081 [Steve Henson]
1082
1083 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1084 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1085 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1086 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1087 [Matt Caswell]
1088
1089 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1090 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1091 [Richard Levitte]
1092
1093 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1094 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1095 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1096 [Emilia Käsper]
1097
1098 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1099 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1100 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1101 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1102 transferred.
1103 [Matt Caswell]
1104
1105 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1106 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1107 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1108 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1109 [Matt Caswell]
1110
1111 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1112 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1113 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1114 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1115 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1116 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1117 [Matt Caswell]
1118
1119 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1120 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1121 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1122 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1123 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1124 header file has been removed.
1125 [Matt Caswell]
1126
1127 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1128 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1129 [Matt Caswell]
1130
1131 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1132 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1133 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1134
1135 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1136 Added a test.
1137 [Rich Salz]
1138
1139 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1140 [Rich Salz]
1141
1142 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1143 sha256
1144 [Rich Salz]
1145
1146 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1147 [Matt Caswell]
1148
1149 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1150 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1151 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1152 [Steve Henson]
1153
1154 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1155 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1156 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1157 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1158 [Matt Caswell]
1159
1160 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1161 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1162 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1163 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1164 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1165 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1166 [Matt Caswell]
1167
1168 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1169 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1170 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1171 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1172 [Matt Caswell]
1173
1174 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1175 compatible client hello.
1176 [Kurt Roeckx]
1177
1178 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1179 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1180 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1181
1182 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1183 [Rich Salz]
1184
1185 *) Removed old DES API.
1186 [Rich Salz]
1187
1188 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1189 Sony NEWS4
1190 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1191 NeXT
1192 SUNOS
1193 MPE/iX
1194 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1195 DGUX
1196 NCR
1197 Tandem
1198 Cray
1199 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1200 [Rich Salz]
1201
1202 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1203 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1204 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1205 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1206 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1207 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1208 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1209 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1210 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1211 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1212 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1213 [Rich Salz]
1214
1215 *) Cleaned up dead code
1216 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1217 [Rich Salz]
1218
1219 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1220 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1221 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1222 [Rich Salz]
1223
1224 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1225 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1226 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1227 [Rich Salz]
1228
1229 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1230 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1231 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1232
1233 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1234 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1235 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1236
1237 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1238 compilation flags.
1239 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1240
1241 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1242 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1243 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1244
1245 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1246 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1247
1248 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1249 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1250 server.
1251
1252 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1253 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1254 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1255 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1256
1257 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1258 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1259 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1260 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1261
1262 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1263 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1264 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1265
1266 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1267 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1268 [Steve Henson]
1269
1270 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1271
1272 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1273 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1274
1275 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1276 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1277
1278 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1279 effect.
1280
1281 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1282
1283 [Steve Henson]
1284
1285 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1286 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1287 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1288 algorithms and include tests cases.
1289 [Steve Henson]
1290
1291 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1292 enveloped data.
1293 [Steve Henson]
1294
1295 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1296 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1297 [Steve Henson]
1298
1299 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1300 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1301
1302 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1303 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1304 [Steve Henson]
1305
1306 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1307 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1308 failures.
1309 [Steve Henson]
1310
1311 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1312 sign or verify all in one operation.
1313 [Steve Henson]
1314
1315 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1316 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1317 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1318 [Steve Henson]
1319
1320 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1321 [Steve Henson]
1322
1323 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1324 [Steve Henson]
1325
1326 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1327 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1328 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1329 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1330 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1331 [Steve Henson]
1332
1333 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1334 based on NID.
1335 [Steve Henson]
1336
1337 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1338 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1339 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1340 [Steve Henson]
1341
1342 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1343 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1344
1345 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1346 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1347 [Steve Henson]
1348
1349 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1350 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1351 [Steve Henson]
1352
1353 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1354 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1355 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1356 [Steve Henson]
1357
1358 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1359 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1360 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1361 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1362 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1363 requested amount of entropy.
1364 [Steve Henson]
1365
1366 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1367 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1368 [Steve Henson]
1369
1370 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1371 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1372 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1373 support.
1374 [Steve Henson]
1375
1376 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1377 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1378 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1379 [Steve Henson]
1380
1381 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1382 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1383 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1384 will never use XTS mode.
1385 [Steve Henson]
1386
1387 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1388 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1389 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1390 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1391 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1392 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1393 [Steve Henson]
1394
1395 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1396 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1397 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1398 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1399 [Steve Henson]
1400
1401 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1402 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1403 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1404 [Steve Henson]
1405
1406 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1407 [Steve Henson]
1408
1409 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1410 [Steve Henson]
1411
1412 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1413 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1414 [Steve Henson]
1415
1416 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1417 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1418 [Steve Henson]
1419
1420 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1421 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1422 [Steve Henson]
1423
1424 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1425 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1426 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1427 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1428 and rename any affected symbols.
1429 [Steve Henson]
1430
1431 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1432 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1433 [Steve Henson]
1434
1435 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1436 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1437 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1438 [Steve Henson]
1439
1440 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1441 [Steve Henson]
1442
1443 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1444 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1445 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1446 [Steve Henson]
1447
1448 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1449 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1450 [Steve Henson]
1451
1452 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1453 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1454 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1455 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1456 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1457 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1458 set before the key.
1459 [Steve Henson]
1460
1461 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1462 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1463 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1464 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1465 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1466 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1467 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1468 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1469 [Steve Henson]
1470
1471 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1472 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1473 [Steve Henson]
1474
1475 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1476
1477 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1478 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1479
1480 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1481 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1482 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1483 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1484 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1485 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1486
1487 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1488 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1489 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1490 security.
1491 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1492
1493 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1494 parameters by name.
1495 [Steve Henson]
1496
1497 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1498 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1499 [Steve Henson]
1500
1501 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1502 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1503 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1504 [Steve Henson]
1505
1506 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1507 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1508 multi-process servers.
1509 [Steve Henson]
1510
1511 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1512 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1513 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1514 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1515 RAND_METHOD structure.
1516 [Steve Henson]
1517
1518 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1519 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1520 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1521 whose return value is often ignored.
1522 [Steve Henson]
1523
1524 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.

1531 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1532
1533 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1534 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1535 AES-NI.
1536
1537 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1538 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1539 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1540 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1541 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1542 bytes.

1544 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1545 (CVE-2016-2107)
1546 [Kurt Roeckx]
1547
1548 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1549
1550 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1551 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1552 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1553 corruption.
1554
1555 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1556 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1557 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1558 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1559 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1560 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1561
1562 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1563 (CVE-2016-2105)
1564 [Matt Caswell]
1565
1566 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1567
1568 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1569 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1570 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1571 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1572 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1573 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1574 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1575 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1576 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1577 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1578 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1579 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1580 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1581 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1582 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1583 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

1587 [Matt Caswell]
1588
1589 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1590
1591 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1592 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1593 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1594
1595 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1596 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1597 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1598 applications are not affected.

1604 *) EBCDIC overread
1605
1606 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1607 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1608 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

1626 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1627
1628 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1629 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1630 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1631 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1632
1633 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1634 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1635 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1636 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1637 will need to explicitly call either of:
1638
1639 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1640 or
1641 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1642
1643 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1644 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1645 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1646 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1647 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1648 (CVE-2016-0800)
1649 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1650
1651 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1652
1653 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1654 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1655 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1656 considered rare.
1657
1658 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1659 libFuzzer.
1660 (CVE-2016-0705)
1661 [Stephen Henson]
1662
1663 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1664
1665 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1666
1667 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1668 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1669 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1670 is configured.
1671
1672 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1673 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1674 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1675 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1676 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1677 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1678 that of a valid user.
1679 (CVE-2016-0798)
1680 [Emilia Käsper]
1681
1682 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1683
1684 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1685 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1686 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1687 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1688 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1689 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1690 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1691 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1692 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1693 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1694 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1695
1696 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1697 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1698 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1699 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1700 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1701
1702 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1703 (CVE-2016-0797)
1704 [Matt Caswell]
1705
1706 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1707
1708 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1709 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1710 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1711
1712 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1713 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1714 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1715 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1716 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1717 also occur.
1718
1719 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1720 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1721 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1722 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1723 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1724 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1725 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1726 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1727 as command line arguments.
1728
1729 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1730 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1731 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1732
1733 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1734 (CVE-2016-0799)
1735 [Matt Caswell]
1736
1737 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1738
1739 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1740 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1741 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1742 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1743 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1744
1745 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1746 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

1755 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1757
1758 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1759 *) DH small subgroups
1760
1761 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1762 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1763 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1764 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1765 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1766 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1767 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1768 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1769 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1770 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1771
1772 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1773 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1774 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1775 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1776 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1777
1778 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1779 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1780 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1781 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1782
1783 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1784 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1785
1786 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

1789
1790 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1791
1792 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1793 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1794 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1795 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1804 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1805
1806 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1807 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1808 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1809 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1810 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1811 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1812 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1813 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1814 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1815 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1816 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1817 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1824
1825 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1826 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1827 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1828 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1829 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1830 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1831 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1863
1864 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1865 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1866 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1867 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1868 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1869 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1886 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1887 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1888 field.
1889
1890 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1891 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1892 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with

1902 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1903 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1904 time string.
1905
1906 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1907 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1908 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1909 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client

1967
1968 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1969
1970 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1971 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1972 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1973 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1974 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1975 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1976 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1977 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.

1981 [Matt Caswell]
1982
1983 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1984
1985 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1986 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1987 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1988 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1989 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1990 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1991 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1992 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1993 server.

2001 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2002 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2003 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2004 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2005 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2006 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2007 (CVE-2015-0286)
2008 [Stephen Henson]
2009
2010 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2011
2012 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2013 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2014 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2015 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2016 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2017 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2018 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2019
2020 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2021 (CVE-2015-0208)
2022 [Stephen Henson]
2023
2024 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2025
2026 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2027 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2028 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2029
2030 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2031 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2032 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2033 not affected.
2034 (CVE-2015-0287)
2035 [Stephen Henson]
2036
2037 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2038
2039 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2040 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2041 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2042
2043 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2044 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2045 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2046
2047 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2048 (CVE-2015-0289)
2049 [Emilia Käsper]
2050
2051 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2052
2053 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2054 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2055 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2056
2057 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2058 (OpenSSL development team).
2059 (CVE-2015-0293)
2060 [Emilia Käsper]
2061
2062 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2063
2064 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2065 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2066 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2067 (CVE-2015-1787)
2068 [Matt Caswell]
2069
2070 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2071
2072 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2073 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2074 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2075 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2076 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2077 SSL_client_methodv23)
2078 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2079 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2080
2081 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2082 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2083 output may be predictable.
2084
2085 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2086 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2087
2088 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2089 (CVE-2015-0285)
2090 [Matt Caswell]
2091
2092 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2093
2094 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2095 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2096 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2097 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2098 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2099 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2100
2101 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2102 commit 517073cd4b.
2103 (CVE-2015-0209)
2104 [Matt Caswell]
2105
2106 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2107
2108 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2109 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2110
2111 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2112 (CVE-2015-0288)
2113 [Stephen Henson]
2114
2115 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2116 [Kurt Roeckx]
2117
2118 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2119
2120 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2121 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2122 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2123 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2124 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2125 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2126 [Andy Polyakov]
2127
2128 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2129 (other platforms pending).
2130 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2131
2132 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2133 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2134 [Rob Stradling]
2135
2136 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2137 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2138 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2139 [Bodo Moeller]
2140
2141 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2142 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2143 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2144 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2145 [Andy Polyakov]
2146
2147 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2148 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2149
2150 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2151 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2152 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2153 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2154 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2155
2156 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2157 [Andy Polyakov]
2158
2159 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2160 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2161 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2162 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2163
2164 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2165 RSAZ.
2166 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2167
2168 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2169 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2170 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2171 for TLS encrypt.
2172
2173 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2174 [Andy Polyakov]
2175
2176 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2177 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2178 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2179 [Steve Henson]
2180
2181 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2182 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2183 [Steve Henson]
2184
2185 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2186 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2187 [Steve Henson]
2188
2189 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2190 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2191 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2192 algorithms and include tests cases.
2193 [Steve Henson]
2194
2195 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2196 structure.
2197 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2198
2199 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2200 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2201 [Steve Henson]
2202
2203 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2204 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2205 summary of the connection parameters.
2206 [Steve Henson]
2207
2208 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2209 of connection parameters.
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2213 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2214
2215 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2216 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2217 [Steve Henson]
2218
2219 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2220 [Steve Henson]
2221
2222 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2223 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2224 [Steve Henson]
2225
2226 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2227 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2228 [Steve Henson]
2229
2230 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2231 certificates.
2232 [Steve Henson]
2233
2234 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2235 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2236 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2237 [Steve Henson]
2238
2239 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2240 [Steve Henson]
2241
2242 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2243 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2244 [Steve Henson]
2245
2246 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2247 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2248 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2249 tracing.
2250 [Steve Henson]
2251
2252 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2253 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2254 [Steve Henson]
2255
2256 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2257 OID NID.
2258 [Steve Henson]
2259
2260 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2261 client to OpenSSL.
2262 [Steve Henson]
2263
2264 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2265 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2266 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2267 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2268 [Steve Henson]
2269
2270 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2271 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2272 [Steve Henson]
2273
2274 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2275 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2276 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2277 comparison.
2278 [Steve Henson]
2279
2280 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2281 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2282 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2283 use the certificate.
2284 [Steve Henson]
2285
2286 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2287 [Steve Henson]
2288
2289 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2290 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2291 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2292 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2293 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2294 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2295 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2296
2297 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2298 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2299
2300 [Steve Henson]
2301
2302 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2303 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2304 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2305 [Steve Henson]
2306
2307 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2308 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2309 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2310 supported signature algorithms.
2311 [Steve Henson]
2312
2313 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2314 [Steve Henson]
2315
2316 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2317 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2318 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2319 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2320 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2321 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2322 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2323 [Steve Henson]
2324
2325 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2326 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2327 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2328 to have similar checks in it.
2329
2330 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2331 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2332 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2333 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2334 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2338 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2339 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2340 shared signature algorithms.
2341 [Steve Henson]
2342
2343 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2344 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2345 to support them.
2346 [Steve Henson]
2347
2348 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2349 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2350 it couldn't be removed.
2351 [Steve Henson]
2352
2353 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2354 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2355 [Steve Henson]
2356
2357 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2358 functions. Add manual page.
2359 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2360
2361 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2362 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2363 a certificate.
2364 [Steve Henson]
2365
2366 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2367 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2368
2369 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2370 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2371 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2372 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2373 utility) or reject.
2374 [Steve Henson]
2375
2376 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2377 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2378 [Steve Henson]
2379
2380 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2381 platform support for Linux and Android.
2382 [Andy Polyakov]
2383
2384 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2385 [Andy Polyakov]
2386
2387 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2388 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2389 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2390 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2391 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2392 [Steve Henson]
2393
2394 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2395 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2396 the new parameter format automatically.
2397 [Steve Henson]
2398
2399 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2400 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2401 [Steve Henson]
2402
2403 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2404 [Steve Henson]
2405
2406 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2407 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2408 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2409 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2410 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2411 [Steve Henson]
2412
2413 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2414 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2415 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2416 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2417 to set list of supported curves.
2418 [Steve Henson]
2419
2420 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2421 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2422 to print out received values.
2423 [Steve Henson]
2424
2425 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2426 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2427 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2428 [Steve Henson]
2429
2430 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2431 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2432 [Steve Henson]
2433
2434 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2435 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2436 [Steve Henson]
2437
2438 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2439 certificates.
2440 [Steve Henson]
2441
2442 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2443 the certificate.
2444 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2445 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2446 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2447
2448 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2449
2450 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2451 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2452
2453 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2454
2455 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2456 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2457 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2458 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2459 (CVE-2014-3571)
2460 [Steve Henson]
2461
2462 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2463 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2464 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2465 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2466 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2467 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2468 (CVE-2015-0206)
2469 [Matt Caswell]
2470
2471 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2472 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2473 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2474 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2475 (CVE-2014-3569)
2476 [Kurt Roeckx]
2477
2478 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2479 ECDH ciphersuites.
2480
2481 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2482 reporting this issue.
2483 (CVE-2014-3572)
2484 [Steve Henson]
2485
2486 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2487 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2488 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2489 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2490 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2491 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2492 (CVE-2015-0204)
2493 [Steve Henson]
2494
2495 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2496 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2497 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2498 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2499 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2500 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2501 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2502 this issue.
2503 (CVE-2015-0205)
2504 [Steve Henson]
2505
2506 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2507 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2508
2509 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2510 and can vary with the CTX.
2511 [Adam Langley]
2512
2513 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2514
2515 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2516 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2517 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2518 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2519 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2520
2521 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2522
2523 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2524 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2525
2526 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2527
2528 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2529 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2530 errors for some broken certificates.
2531
2532 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2533
2534 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2535
2536 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2537 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2538
2539 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2540 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2541 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2542 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2543
2544 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2545 of the OpenSSL core team.
2546
2547 (CVE-2014-8275)
2548 [Steve Henson]
2549
2550 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2551 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2552 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2553 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2554 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2555 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2556 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2557 the OpenSSL core team.
2558 (CVE-2014-3570)
2559 [Andy Polyakov]
2560
2561 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2562 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2563 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2564 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2565 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2566
2567 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2568 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2569 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2570 [Emilia Käsper]
2571
2572 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2573 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2574 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2575 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2576 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2577
2578 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2579 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2580 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2581 [Emilia Käsper]
2582
2583 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2584
2585 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2586
2587 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2588 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2589 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2590 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2591 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2592 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2593 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2594
2595 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2596 (CVE-2014-3513)
2597 [OpenSSL team]
2598
2599 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2600
2601 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2602 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2603 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2604 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2605 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2606 attack.
2607 (CVE-2014-3567)
2608 [Steve Henson]
2609
2610 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2611
2612 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2613 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2614 configured to send them.
2615 (CVE-2014-3568)
2616 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2617
2618 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2619 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2620 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2621 (CVE-2014-3566)
2622 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2623
2624 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2625
2626 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2627 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2628 DigestInfo structures.
2629
2630 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2631
2632 [Steve Henson]
2633
2634 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2635
2636 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2637 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2638 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2639
2640 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2641 Group for discovering this issue.
2642 (CVE-2014-3512)
2643 [Steve Henson]
2644
2645 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2646 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2647 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2648 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2649 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2650
2651 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2652 researching this issue.
2653 (CVE-2014-3511)
2654 [David Benjamin]
2655
2656 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2657 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2658 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2659 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2660
2661 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2662 issue.
2663 (CVE-2014-3510)
2664 [Emilia Käsper]
2665
2666 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2667 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2668 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2669 (CVE-2014-3507)
2670 [Adam Langley]
2671
2672 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2673 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2674 Denial of Service attack.
2675 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2676 (CVE-2014-3506)
2677 [Adam Langley]
2678
2679 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2680 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2681 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2682 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2683 this issue.
2684 (CVE-2014-3505)
2685 [Adam Langley]
2686
2687 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2688 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2689 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2690
2691 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2692 issue.
2693 (CVE-2014-3509)
2694 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2695
2696 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2697 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2698 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2699 Denial of Service attack.
2700
2701 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2702 discovering and researching this issue.
2703 (CVE-2014-5139)
2704 [Steve Henson]
2705
2706 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2707 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2708 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2709 output to the attacker.
2710
2711 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2712 (CVE-2014-3508)
2713 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2714
2715 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2716 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2717 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2718 [Bodo Moeller]
2719
2720 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2721
2722 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2723 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2724 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2725
2726 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2727 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2728 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2729
2730 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2731 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2732 in a DoS attack.
2733
2734 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2735 (CVE-2014-0221)
2736 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2737
2738 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2739 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2740 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2741 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2742
2743 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2744 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2745
2746 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2747 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2748
2749 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2750 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2751 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2752
2753 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2754 compilation flags.
2755 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2756
2757 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2758 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2759 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2760
2761 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2762 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2763
2764 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2765
2766 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2767 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2768 server.
2769
2770 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2771 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2772 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2773 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2774
2775 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2776 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2777 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2778 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2779
2780 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2781 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2782 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2783
2784 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2785
2786 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2787 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2788 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2789 is at least 512 bytes long.
2790
2791 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2792
2793 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2794
2795 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2796 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2797 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2798 (CVE-2013-4353)
2799
2800 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2801 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2802 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2803 [Steve Henson]
2804
2805 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2806 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2807 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2808 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2809 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2810 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2811 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2812
2813 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2814
2815 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2816 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2817 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2818
2819 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2820
2821 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2822
2823 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2824 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2825 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2826
2827 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2828 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2829 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2830 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2831 (CVE-2013-0169)
2832 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2833
2834 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2835 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2836 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2837 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2838 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2839 (CVE-2012-2686)
2840 [Adam Langley]
2841
2842 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2843 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2844 [Steve Henson]
2845
2846 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2847 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2848
2849 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2850 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2851 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2852 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2853 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2854
2855 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2856 [Steve Henson]
2857
2858 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2859 if renegotiating.
2860 [Steve Henson]
2861
2862 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2863
2864 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2865 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2866
2867 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2868 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2869 (CVE-2012-2333)
2870 [Steve Henson]
2871
2872 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2873 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2874 [Steve Henson]
2875
2876 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2877 approved.
2878 [Steve Henson]
2879
2880 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2881
2882 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2883 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2884 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2885 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
2886 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2887 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2888 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2889 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2890 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2891 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2892 [Steve Henson]
2893
2894 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2895 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2896 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2897 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2898 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2899 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2900 client side.
2901 [Andy Polyakov]
2902
2903 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2904
2905 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2906 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2907 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2908
2909 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2910 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2911 (CVE-2012-2110)
2912 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2913
2914 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2915 [Adam Langley]
2916
2917 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2918 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2919
2920 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2921 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2922 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2923 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2924 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2925 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2926 Most broken servers should now work.
2927 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2928 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2929 [Steve Henson]
2930
2931 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2932 [Andy Polyakov]
2933
2934 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2935
2936 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2937 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2938 [Steve Henson]
2939
2940 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2941 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2942 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2943 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2944 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2945 [Steve Henson]
2946
2947 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2948 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2949 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2950 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2951 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2952 [Steve Henson]
2953
2954 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2955 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2956
2957 *) Add support for SCTP.
2958 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2959
2960 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2961 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2962
2963 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2964
2965 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2966 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2967 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2968 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2969 - s390x: z196 support;
2970 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2971
2972 [Andy Polyakov]
2973
2974 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2975 (removal of unnecessary code)
2976 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2977
2978 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2979 [Eric Rescorla]
2980
2981 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2982 [Eric Rescorla]
2983
2984 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2985 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2986 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2987 by Google.
2988 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2989
2990 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2991 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2992 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2993 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2994 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2995
2996 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2997 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2998 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2999
3000 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3001 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3002 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3003
3004 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3005 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3006 implementations).
3007 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3008
3009 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3010 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3011 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3012 [Steve Henson]
3013
3014 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3015 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3016 particular PSS.
3017 [Steve Henson]
3018
3019 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3020 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3021 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3022 [Steve Henson]
3023
3024 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3025 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3026 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3027 the appropriate parameters.
3028 [Steve Henson]
3029
3030 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3031 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3032 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3033 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3034 against a number of sample certificates.
3035 [Steve Henson]
3036
3037 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3038 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3039
3040 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3041 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3042
3043 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3044 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3045 parameters r, s.
3046 [Steve Henson]
3047
3048 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3049 RFC3211.
3050 [Steve Henson]
3051
3052 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3053 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3054 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3055 password based CMS).
3056 [Steve Henson]
3057
3058 *) Session-handling fixes:
3059 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3060 but also support Session Tickets.
3061 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3062 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3063 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3064 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3065 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3066 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3067
3068 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3069 [Bodo Moeller]
3070
3071 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3072
3073 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3074 [Andy Polyakov]
3075
3076 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3077 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3078 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3079 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3080 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3081 [Steve Henson]
3082
3083 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3084 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3085 [Steve Henson]
3086
3087 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3088 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3089 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3090 [Steve Henson]
3091
3092 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3093 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3094 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3095 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3096 [Steve Henson]
3097
3098 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3099 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3100 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3101 [Steve Henson]
3102
3103 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3104 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3105
3106 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3107 [Steve Henson]
3108
3109 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3110 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3111 [Steve Henson]
3112
3113 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3114 [Steve Henson]
3115
3116 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3117 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3118 [Steve Henson]
3119
3120 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3121 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3122 [Steve Henson]
3123
3124 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3125 [Steve Henson]
3126
3127 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3128 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3129 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3130 [Steve Henson]
3131
3132 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3133 [Steve Henson]
3134
3135 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3136 [Steve Henson]
3137
3138 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3139 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3140 [Steve Henson]
3141
3142 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3143 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3144 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3145 [Steve Henson]
3146
3147 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3148 [Steve Henson]
3149
3150 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3151 and enable MD5.
3152 [Steve Henson]
3153
3154 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3155 FIPS modules versions.
3156 [Steve Henson]
3157
3158 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3159 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3160 until after the certificate request message is received.
3161 [Steve Henson]
3162
3163 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3164 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3165 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3166 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3167 [Steve Henson]
3168
3169 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3170 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3171 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3172 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3176 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3177 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3178 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3179 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3180 and version checking.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3184 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3185 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3186 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3187 [Steve Henson]
3188
3189 *) Add SRP support.
3190 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3191
3192 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3193 [Steve Henson]
3194
3195 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3196 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3197 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3198
3199 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3200 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3201 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3202 [Steve Henson]
3203
3204 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3205 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3206
3207 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3208 a few changes are required:
3209
3210 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3211 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3212 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3213 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3214 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3215 [Steve Henson]
3216
3217 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3218
3219 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3220 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3221 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3222 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3223 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3224 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3225 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3226 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3227 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3228 [Steve Henson]
3229
3230 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3231 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3232 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3233 [Steve Henson]
3234
3235 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3236
3237 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3238 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3239 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3240 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3241 [Antonio Martin]
3242
3243 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3244
3245 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3246 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3247 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3248 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3249 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3250 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3251 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3252 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3253 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3254 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3255 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3256 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3257 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3258
3259 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3260 (CVE-2011-4576)
3261 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3262
3263 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3264 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3265 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3266 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3267
3268 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3269 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3270
3271 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3272 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3273 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3274 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3275
3276 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3277 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3278
3279 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3280 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3281
3282 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3283 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3284
3285 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3286 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3287 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3288
3289 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3290 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3291 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3292
3293 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3294 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3295 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3296 the last update always remained unused).
3297 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3298
3299 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3300 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3301
3302 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3303
3304 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3305 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3306 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3307
3308 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3309 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3310 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3311
3312 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3313 [Bodo Moeller]
3314
3315 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3316 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3317 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3318 [Steve Henson]
3319
3320 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3321 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3322
3323 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3324
3325 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3326
3327 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3328
3329 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3330 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3331
3332 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3333 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3334 ambiguous.
3335 [Steve Henson]
3336
3337 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3338
3339 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3340 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3341 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3342 [Steve Henson]
3343
3344 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3345 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3346 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3347 [Ben Laurie]
3348
3349 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3350
3351 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3352 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3353 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3354 [Steve Henson]
3355
3356 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3357 a DLL.
3358 [Steve Henson]
3359
3360 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3361
3362 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3363 (CVE-2010-1633)
3364 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3365
3366 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3367
3368 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3369 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3370 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3371 [Steve Henson]
3372
3373 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3374 [Steve Henson]
3375
3376 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3377 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3378 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3379
3380 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3381 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3382 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3383 [Steve Henson]
3384
3385 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3386 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3387 [Steve Henson]
3388
3389 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3390 some responders need this.
3391 [Steve Henson]
3392
3393 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3394 correctly.
3395 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3396
3397 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3398 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3399 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3400 [Steve Henson]
3401
3402 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3403 [Steve Henson]
3404
3405 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3406 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3407 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3408 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3409 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3410 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3411 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3412 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3413 [Steve Henson]
3414
3415 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3416 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3417 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3418 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3419
3420 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3421 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3422
3423 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3424 be used on C++.
3425 [Steve Henson]
3426
3427 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3428 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3429 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3430 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3431 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3432 attempting to work them out.
3433 [Steve Henson]
3434
3435 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3436 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3437 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3438 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3439 [Steve Henson]
3440
3441 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3442 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3443 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3444 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3445 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3446 [Steve Henson]
3447
3448 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3449 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3450 you can do:
3451
3452 openssl sha256 foo
3453
3454 as well as:
3455
3456 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3457
3458 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3459
3460 [Steve Henson]
3461
3462 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3463 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3464
3465 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3466 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3467
3468 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3469 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3470 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3471 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3472 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3473 [Steve Henson]
3474
3475 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3476 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3477 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3478 [Steve Henson]
3479
3480 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3481 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3482 [Steve Henson]
3483
3484 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3485 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3486
3487 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3488 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3489 [Steve Henson]
3490
3491 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3492 [Ben Laurie]
3493
3494 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3495 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3496 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3497 CONF_VALUE.
3498 [Ben Laurie]
3499
3500 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3501 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3502 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3503 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3504 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3505 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3506 [Steve Henson]
3507
3508 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3509 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3510
3511 This work was sponsored by Google.
3512 [Steve Henson]
3513
3514 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3515 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3516 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3517 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3518 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3519 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3520 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3521 default.
3522
3523 This work was sponsored by Google.
3524 [Steve Henson]
3525
3526 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3527
3528 This work was sponsored by Google.
3529 [Steve Henson]
3530
3531 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3532 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3533 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3534 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3535
3536 This work was sponsored by Google.
3537 [Steve Henson]
3538
3539 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3540 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3541 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3542 CRL functionality in future.
3543
3544 This work was sponsored by Google.
3545 [Steve Henson]
3546
3547 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3548
3549 This work was sponsored by Google.
3550 [Steve Henson]
3551
3552 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3553 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3554
3555 This work was sponsored by Google.
3556 [Steve Henson]
3557
3558 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3559 and URI types are currently supported.
3560
3561 This work was sponsored by Google.
3562 [Steve Henson]
3563
3564 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3565 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3566 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3567 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3568 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3569 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3570 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3571 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3572
3573 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3574 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3575 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3576
3577 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3578 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3579 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3580 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3581
3582 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3583 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3584 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3585 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3586 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3587 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3588 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3589 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3590 of &errno.)
3591 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3592
3593 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3594 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3595 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3596
3597 This work was sponsored by Google.
3598 [Steve Henson]
3599
3600 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3601 [Ben Laurie]
3602
3603 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3604 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3605 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3606 [Ben Laurie]
3607
3608 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3609 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3610 [Nick Mathewson]
3611
3612 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3613 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3614 [Ben Laurie]
3615
3616 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3617 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3618 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3619 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3620 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3621 content types and variants.
3622 [Steve Henson]
3623
3624 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3625 [Steve Henson]
3626
3627 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3628 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3629 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3630 files from the associated perl scripts.
3631 [Steve Henson]
3632
3633 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3634 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3635 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3636
3637 *) s390x assembler pack.
3638 [Andy Polyakov]
3639
3640 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3641 "family."
3642 [Andy Polyakov]
3643
3644 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3645 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3646 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3647 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3648 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3649 to use. For example, specify an option
3650
3651 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3652
3653 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3654 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3655 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3656 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3657 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3658 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3659
3660 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3661 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3662 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3663 return non-zero for success.
3664
3665 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3666 by using
3667
3668 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3669 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3670
3671 where
3672
3673 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3674 void *arg;
3675
3676 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3677 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3678 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3679 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3680 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3681 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3682 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3683 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3684 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3685
3686 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3687 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3688 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3689 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3690 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3691 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3692
3693 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3694 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3695 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3696 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3697 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3698 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3699
3700 [Bodo Moeller]
3701
3702 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3703 MAC.
3704
3705 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3706
3707 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3708 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3709 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3710 supported.
3711
3712 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3713 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3714 SSL_SESSION.
3715
3716 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3717 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3718 with no application modification.
3719
3720 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3721 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3722
3723 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3724 or server extensions to be examined.
3725
3726 This work was sponsored by Google.
3727 [Steve Henson]
3728
3729 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3730 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3731 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3732
3733 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3734 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3735 ciphersuite support.
3736 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3737
3738 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3739 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3740 to output in BER and PEM format.
3741 [Steve Henson]
3742
3743 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3744 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3745 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3746 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3747 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3748 [Steve Henson]
3749
3750 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3751 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3752 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3753 utility.
3754 [Steve Henson]
3755
3756 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3757 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3758 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3759 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3760 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3761 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3762 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3763 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3764 enabled again.
3765
3766 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3767 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3768 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3769 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3770
3771 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3772 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
3773 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3774 the default order.
3775 [Bodo Moeller]
3776
3777 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3778 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3779 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3780 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3781 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3782 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3783 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3784 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3785 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3786
3787 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3788 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3789 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3790 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3791 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3792 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3793 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3794 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3795 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3796 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3797 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3798 kinds of kludges.
3799
3800 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3801 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3802 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3803
3804 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3805 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3806 "CAMELLIA256".
3807 [Bodo Moeller]
3808
3809 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3810 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3811 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3812 [Nils Larsch]
3813
3814 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3815 it yet and it is largely untested.
3816 [Steve Henson]
3817
3818 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3819 [Nils Larsch]
3820
3821 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3822 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3823 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3824 [Steve Henson]
3825
3826 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3827 [Andy Polyakov]
3828
3829 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3830 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3831 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3832 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3833 [Steve Henson]
3834
3835 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3836 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3837 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3838 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3839 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3840 [Steve Henson]
3841
3842 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3843 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3844 [Cryptocom]
3845
3846 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3847 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3848 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3849 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3850 [Steve Henson]
3851
3852 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3853 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3854 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3855 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3856 [Steve Henson]
3857
3858 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3859 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3860 [Steve Henson]
3861
3862 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3863 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3864 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3865 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3866 [Steve Henson]
3867
3868 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3869 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3870 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3871 [Steve Henson]
3872
3873 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3874 utility.
3875 [Steve Henson]
3876
3877 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3878 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3879 [Steve Henson]
3880
3881 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3882 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3883 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3884 if necessary.
3885 [Steve Henson]
3886
3887 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3888 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3889 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3890 [Steve Henson]
3891
3892 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3893 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3894 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3895 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3896 [Steve Henson]
3897
3898 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3899 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3900 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3901 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3902 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3903 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3904 [Douglas Stebila]
3905
3906 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3907 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3908 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3909 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3910 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3911
3912 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3913 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3914 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3915 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3916 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3917 protocol).
3918
3919 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3920 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3921 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3922 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3923
3924 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3925 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3926 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3927 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3928 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3929
3930 aECDH - ECDH cert
3931 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3932 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3933
3934 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3935 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3936
3937 [Bodo Moeller]
3938
3939 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3940 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3941 [Steve Henson]
3942
3943 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3944 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3945 [Steve Henson]
3946
3947 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3948 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3949 functional reference processing.
3950 [Steve Henson]
3951
3952 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
3953 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3954 process.
3955 [Steve Henson]
3956
3957 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3958 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3959 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3960 [Steve Henson]
3961
3962 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3963 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3964 application to support multiple signers.
3965 [Steve Henson]
3966
3967 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3968 digest MAC.
3969 [Steve Henson]
3970
3971 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3972 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3973 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3974 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3975 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3976 [Steve Henson]
3977
3978 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3979 new API.
3980 [Steve Henson]
3981
3982 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3983 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3984 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3985 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3986 a no op.
3987 [Steve Henson]
3988
3989 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3990 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3991 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3992 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3993 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3994 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3995 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3996 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3997 [Steve Henson]
3998
3999 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4000 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4001 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4002 between digests and public key types.
4003 [Steve Henson]
4004
4005 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4006 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4007 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4008 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4009 [Steve Henson]
4010
4011 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4012 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4013 key ASN1 method.
4014 [Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4017 [Steve Henson]
4018
4019 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4020 pkeyutl.
4021 [Steve Henson]
4022
4023 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4024 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4025 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4026 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4027 pkey, genpkey.
4028 [Steve Henson]
4029
4030 *) BeOS support.
4031 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4032
4033 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4034 manual pages.
4035 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4036
4037 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4038 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4039 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4040 functionality for RSA.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4044 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4045 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4046 [Steve Henson]
4047
4048 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4049 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4050 [Steve Henson]
4051
4052 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4053 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4054 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4055 [Steve Henson]
4056
4057 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4058 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4059 [Douglas Stebila]
4060
4061 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4062 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4063 [Steve Henson]
4064
4065 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4066 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4067 type.
4068 [Steve Henson]
4069
4070 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4071 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4072 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4073 structure.
4074 [Steve Henson]
4075
4076 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4077 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4078 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4079 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4080 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4081 of public and private key structures.
4082 [Steve Henson]
4083
4084 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4085 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4086 [Douglas Stebila]
4087
4088 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4089 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4090 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4091
4092 New ciphersuites:
4093 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4094 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4095
4096 New functions:
4097 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4098 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4099 SSL_get_psk_identity
4100 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4101
4102 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4103
4104 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4105 and response verification functionality.
4106 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4107
4108 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4109 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4110 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4111 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4112 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4113 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4114 server_name extension.
4115
4116 New functions (subject to change):
4117
4118 SSL_get_servername()
4119 SSL_get_servername_type()
4120 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4121
4122 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4123
4124 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4125 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4126 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4127 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4128 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4129
4130 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4131
4132 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4133 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4134 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4135 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4136 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4137 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4138 option.
4139
4140 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4141
4142 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4143 [Andy Polyakov]
4144
4145 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4146 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4147 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4148 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4149 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4150 [Andy Polyakov]
4151
4152 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4153 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4154 macro.
4155 [Bodo Moeller]
4156
4157 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4158 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4159 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4160 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4161 [Andy Polyakov]
4162
4163 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4164 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4165 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4166 using the maximum available value.
4167 [Steve Henson]
4168
4169 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4170 in addition to the text details.
4171 [Bodo Moeller]
4172
4173 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4174 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4175 handle several customised structures at all.
4176 [Steve Henson]
4177
4178 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4179 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4180 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4181 [Steve Henson]
4182
4183 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4184 [Steve Henson]
4185
4186 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4187 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4188 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4189 [Steve Henson]
4190
4191 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4192 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4193 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4194 [Nils Larsch]
4195
4196 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4197 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4198 all fields.
4199 [Steve Henson]
4200
4201 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4202 [Steve Henson]
4203
4204 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4205 [NTT]
4206
4207 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4208
4209 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4210 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4211 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4212 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4213 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4214 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4215 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4216 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4217
4218 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4219 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4220 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4221
4222 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4223
4224 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4225 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4226
4227 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4228 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4229 [Bodo Moeller]
4230
4231 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4232 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4233 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4234 [Steve Henson]
4235
4236 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4237 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4238 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4239 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4240 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4241 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4242 [Steve Henson]
4243
4244 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4245 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4246 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4247 [Steve Henson]
4248
4249 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4250 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4251 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4252 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4253 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4254 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4255 CVE-2009-4355.
4256 [Steve Henson]
4257
4258 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4259 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4260 [Bodo Moeller]
4261
4262 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4263 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4264 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4265 [Steve Henson]
4266
4267 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4268 [Steve Henson]
4269
4270 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4271 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4272 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4273 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4274 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4275 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4276 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4277 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4278 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4279 [Steve Henson]
4280
4281 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4282 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4283 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4284 [Steve Henson]
4285
4286 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4287 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4288 [Steve Henson]
4289
4290 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4291 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4292 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4293 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4294 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4295 know what you are doing.
4296 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4297
4298 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4299 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4300 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4301 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4302 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4303 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4304 the handshake.
4305 [Steve Henson]
4306
4307 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4308 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4309 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4310 correctly.
4311 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4312
4313 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4314 warnings in other configurations.
4315 [Steve Henson]
4316
4317 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4318 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4319 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4320 systems need.
4321 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4322
4323 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4324 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4325 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4326
4327 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4328 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4329 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4330 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4331 [Steve Henson]
4332
4333 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4334 and restored.
4335 [Steve Henson]
4336
4337 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4338 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4339 clash.
4340 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4341
4342 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4343 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4344 other than a simple chain.
4345 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4346
4347 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4348 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4349 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4350 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4351 [Steve Henson]
4352
4353 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4354 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4355 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4356 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4357 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4358 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4359 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4360 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4361 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4362
4363 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4364 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4365 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4366 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4367 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4368 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4369 (CVE-2009-1377)
4370 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4371
4372 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4373 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4374 [Daniel Mentz]
4375
4376 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4377 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4378
4379 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4380 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4381
4382 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4383
4384 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4385 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4386 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4387 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4388 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4389 you're doing.
4390 [Ben Laurie]
4391
4392 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4393
4394 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4395 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4396 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4397 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4398
4399 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4400 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4401 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4402 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4403
4404 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4405 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4406 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4407 [Steve Henson]
4408
4409 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4410 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4411 level.
4412 [Steve Henson]
4413
4414 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4415 to handle some structures.
4416 [Steve Henson]
4417
4418 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4419 for a '\n'
4420 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4421
4422 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4423 [Matthieu Herrb]
4424
4425 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4426 [Steve Henson]
4427
4428 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4429 [Steve Henson]
4430
4431 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4432 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4433 chosen compiler.
4434 [Ben Laurie]
4435
4436 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4437
4438 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4439 (CVE-2008-5077).
4440 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4441
4442 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4443 [Ben Laurie]
4444
4445 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4446 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4447 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4448 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4449
4450 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4451 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4452
4453 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4454 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4455 [Bodo Moeller]
4456
4457 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4458 s_client and s_server.
4459 [Ben Laurie]
4460
4461 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4462 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4463
4464 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4465 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4466
4467 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4468 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4469 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4470 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4471 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4472 [Bodo Moeller]
4473
4474 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4475
4476 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4477 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4478 [PR #1679]
4479
4480 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4481 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4482 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4483
4484 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4485 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4486 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4487 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4488
4489 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4490 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4491
4492 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4493
4494 *) Various precautionary measures:
4495
4496 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4497
4498 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4499 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4500 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4501
4502 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4503 outside the expected range.
4504
4505 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4506 builds.
4507
4508 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4509
4510 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4511 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4512 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4513
4514 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4515 [Steve Henson]
4516
4517 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4518 [Huang Ying]
4519
4520 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4521
4522 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4523 [Steve Henson]
4524
4525 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4526 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4527 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4528
4529 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4530 [Steve Henson]
4531
4532 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4533 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4534 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4535 files.
4536 [Steve Henson]
4537
4538 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4539
4540 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4541 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
4542 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4543 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4544
4545 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4546 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4547 [Joe Orton]
4548
4549 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4550
4551 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4552 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4553 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4554
4555 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4556
4557 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4558 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4559 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4560 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4561 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4562
4563 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4564 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4565 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4566 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4567 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4568 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4569 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4570
4571 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4572
4573 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4574 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4575 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4576 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4577 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4578
4579 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4580 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4581
4582 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4583 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4584 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4585 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4586 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4587
4588 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4589
4590 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4591 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4592 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4593 sets may exist with different names.
4594 [Steve Henson]
4595
4596 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4597 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4598 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4599 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4600 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4601 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4602 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4603 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4604 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4605 implementation.
4606 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4607
4608 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4609 implementation in the following ways:
4610
4611 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4612 hard coded.
4613
4614 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4615 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4616 ignored for embedded content.
4617
4618 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4619 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4620 [Steve Henson]
4621
4622 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4623 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4624 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4625 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4626
4627 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4628 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4629 [Steve Henson]
4630
4631 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4632 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4633 [Steve Henson]
4634
4635 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4636 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4637 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4638 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4639 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4640 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4641 data.
4642 [Steve Henson]
4643
4644 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4645 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4646 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4647
4648 *) Netware support:
4649
4650 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4651 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4652 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4653 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4654 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4655 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4656 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4657 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4658 platform
4659 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4660 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4661 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4662 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4663 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4664 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4665 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4666
4667 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4668 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4669 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4670 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4671 to s_client and s_server.
4672 [Steve Henson]
4673
4674 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4675
4676 *) Fix various bugs:
4677 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4678 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4679 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4680 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4681 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4682
4683 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4684
4685 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4686 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4687 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4688 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4689 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4690 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4691 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4692 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4693 [Andy Polyakov]
4694
4695 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4696 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4697 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4698 Steve Henson]
4699
4700 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4701 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4702 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4703 supported.
4704
4705 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4706 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4707 SSL_SESSION.
4708
4709 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4710 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4711 with no application modification.
4712
4713 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4714 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4715
4716 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4717 or server extensions to be examined.
4718
4719 This work was sponsored by Google.
4720 [Steve Henson]
4721
4722 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4723 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4724 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4725 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4726 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4727 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4728 server_name extension.
4729
4730 New functions (subject to change):
4731
4732 SSL_get_servername()
4733 SSL_get_servername_type()
4734 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4735
4736 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4737
4738 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4739 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4740 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4741 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4742 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4743
4744 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4745
4746 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4747 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4748 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4749 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4750 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4751 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4752 option.
4753
4754 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4755
4756 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4757 [Steve Henson]
4758
4759 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4760 [Andy Polyakov]
4761
4762 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4763 (which previously caused an internal error).
4764 [Bodo Moeller]
4765
4766 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4767 [Ben Laurie]
4768
4769 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4770 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4771
4772 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4773 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4774 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4775
4776 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4777 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4778 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4779 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4780
4781 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4782 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4783 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4784 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4785
4786 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4787 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4788 information. For detailed background information, see
4789 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4790 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4791 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4792 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4793 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4794 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4795 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4796 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4797 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4798 remove a conditional branch.
4799
4800 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4801 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4802 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4803 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4804 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4805 remains as a deprecated alias.
4806
4807 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4808 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4809 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4810 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4811
4812 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4813 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4814 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4815 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4816 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4817 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4818 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4819 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4820
4821 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4822
4823 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4824 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4825 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4826 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4827 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4828 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4829 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4830 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4831 in a different context.
4832 [Bodo Moeller]
4833
4834 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4835 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4836 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4837 [Bodo Moeller]
4838
4839 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4840 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4841 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4842
4843 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4844
4845 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4846 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4847 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4848 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4849 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4850 [Victor Duchovni]
4851
4852 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4853 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4854 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4855 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4856 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4857 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4858 [Bodo Moeller]
4859
4860 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4861 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4862 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4863 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4864 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4865 [Bodo Moeller]
4866
4867 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4868 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4869
4870 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4871 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4872 Improve header file function name parsing.
4873 [Steve Henson]
4874
4875 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4876 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4877 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4878
4879 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4880
4881 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4882 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4883 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4884
4885 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4886 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4887
4888 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4889 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4890
4891 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4892 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4893 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4894
4895 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4896 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4897 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4898 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4899 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4900 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4901 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4902 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4903 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4904
4905 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4906 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4907 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4908 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4909 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4910
4911 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4912 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4913 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4914 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4915 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4916 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4917 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4918 multiple values to extend the available space.

4920 [Bodo Moeller]
4921
4922 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4923
4924 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4925 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4926
4927 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4928 [Ben Laurie]
4929
4930 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4931 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4932 undesirable limitations.
4933 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4934
4935 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4936 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4937 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4938 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4939 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4940 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4941 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4942 [Bodo Moeller]
4943
4944 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4945
4946 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4947 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4948 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4949
4950 The latter two were purportedly from
4951 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4952 appear there.
4953
4954 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4955 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4956 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4957 [Bodo Moeller]
4958
4959 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4960 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4961 [Bodo Moeller]
4962
4963 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4964 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4965 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4966 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4967
4968 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4969 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4970 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4971 [NTT]
4972
4973 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4974 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4975 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
4976 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4977 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4978 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4979 [Steve Henson]
4980
4981 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4982
4983 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4984 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4985 [Steve Henson]
4986
4987 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4988 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4989
4990 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4991 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4992 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4993 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4994 [Douglas Stebila]
4995
4996 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4997 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4998 [Steve Henson]
4999
5000 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5001 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5002 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5003 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5004 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5005 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5006 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5007 can't be loaded.
5008 [Steve Henson]
5009
5010 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5011 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5012 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5013 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5014 [Steve Henson]
5015
5016 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5017 under VC++ build system.
5018 [Steve Henson]
5019
5020 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5021 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5022 [Richard Levitte]
5023
5024 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5025
5026 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5027 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5028 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5029 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5030 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5031
5032 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5033 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5034 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5035
5036 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5037 [Steve Henson]
5038
5039 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5040 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5041 [Nils Larsch]
5042
5043 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5044 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5045
5046 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5047 [Nick Mathewson]
5048
5049 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5050 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5051
5052 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5053 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5054 [Steve Henson]
5055
5056 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5057 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5058 smime utility.
5059 [Steve Henson]
5060
5061 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5062
5063 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5064 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5065
5066 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5067 [Richard Levitte]
5068
5069 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5070 key into the same file any more.
5071 [Richard Levitte]
5072
5073 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5074 [Andy Polyakov]
5075
5076 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5077 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5078
5079 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5080 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5081 [Richard Levitte]
5082
5083 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5084 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5085 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5086 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5087 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5088 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5089
5090 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5091 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5092 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5093 [Steve Henson]
5094
5095 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5096 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5097 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5098 - add new function for parameter creation
5099 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5100 BN_BLINDING parameters
5101 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5102 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5103 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5104 threads.
5105 [Nils Larsch]
5106
5107 *) Add support for DTLS.
5108 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5109
5110 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5111 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5112 [Walter Goulet]
5113
5114 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5115 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5116 [Nils Larsch]
5117
5118 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5119 the apps/openssl applications.
5120 [Nils Larsch]
5121
5122 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5123 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5124 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5125 [Ben Laurie]
5126
5127 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5128 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5129
5130 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5131 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5132
5133 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5134 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5135 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5136 avoid this algorithm.)
5137
5138 [Bodo Moeller]
5139
5140 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5141 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5142 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5143 [Richard Levitte]
5144
5145 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5146 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5147 [Andy Polyakov]
5148
5149 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5150 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5151 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5152 pod file:
5153
5154 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5155
5156 The blank line is mandatory.
5157
5158 [Steve Henson]
5159
5160 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5161 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5162 sources.
5163 [Steve Henson]
5164
5165 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5166 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5167
5168 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5169 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5170 to support policy checking and print out.
5171 [Steve Henson]
5172
5173 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5174 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5175 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5176 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5177
5178 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5179 [Geoff Thorpe]
5180
5181 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5182 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5183
5184 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5185 implementation contributed by IBM.
5186 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5187
5188 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5189 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5190 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5191 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5192
5193 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5194 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5195
5196 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5197 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5198 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5199 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5200 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5201 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5202 [Steve Henson]
5203
5204 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5205 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5206 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5207 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5208 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5209 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5210 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5211 [Geoff Thorpe]
5212
5213 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5214 [Steve Henson]
5215
5216 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5217 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5218 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5219 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5220 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5221 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5222 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5223 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5224 [Steve Henson]
5225
5226 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5227 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5228 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5229 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5230 [Steve Henson]
5231
5232 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5233 syntax:
5234
5235 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5236 [Steve Henson]
5237
5238 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5239 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5240 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5241 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5242 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5243 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5244 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5245 [Geoff Thorpe]
5246
5247 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5248 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5249 [Geoff Thorpe]
5250
5251 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5252 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5253 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5254 [Steve Henson]
5255
5256 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5257 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5258 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5259 below).
5260 [Geoff Thorpe]
5261
5262 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5263 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5264 [Richard Levitte]
5265
5266 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5267 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5268 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5269 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5270 [Geoff Thorpe]
5271
5272 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5273 initialised value as BN_new().
5274 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5275
5276 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5277 [Steve Henson]
5278
5279 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5280 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5281 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5282 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5283 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5284 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5285 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5286 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5287 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5288 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5289 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5290 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5291 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5292 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5293 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5294
5295 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5296 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5297 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5298 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5299 [Geoff Thorpe]
5300
5301 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5302 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5303 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5304 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5305 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5306 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5307 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5308 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5309 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5310 [Geoff Thorpe]
5311
5312 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5313 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5314 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5315 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5316 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5317 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5318 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5319 [Geoff Thorpe]
5320
5321 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5322 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5323 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5324 these have been updated also.
5325 [Geoff Thorpe]
5326
5327 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5328 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5329 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5330 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5331 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5332 functions.
5333 [Steve Henson]
5334
5335 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5336 structure of type "other".
5337 [Steve Henson]
5338
5339 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5340 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5341 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5342 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5343 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5344 situation in the script.
5345 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5346
5347 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5348 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5349 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5350 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5351 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5352 used as premaster secret.
5353 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5354
5355 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5356 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5357 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5358
5359 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5360 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5361
5362 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5363 control of the error stack.
5364 [Richard Levitte]
5365
5366 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5367 [Richard Levitte]
5368
5369 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5370 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5371 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5372 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5373 [Richard Levitte]
5374
5375 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5376 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5377 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5378 [Richard Levitte]
5379
5380 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5381 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5382 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5383 a memory area.
5384 [Richard Levitte]
5385
5386 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5387 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5388 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5389 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5390 [Richard Levitte]
5391
5392 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5393 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5394 the following flags are defined:
5395
5396 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5397 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5398 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5399 number.
5400
5401 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5402 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5403 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5404 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5405 returns zero.
5406 [Richard Levitte]
5407
5408 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5409 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5410 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5411 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5412 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5413 [Richard Levitte]
5414
5415 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5416 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5417 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5418 [Richard Levitte]
5419
5420 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5421 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5422 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5423 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5424 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5425 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5426 [Richard Levitte]
5427
5428 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5429 req and dirName.
5430 [Steve Henson]
5431
5432 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5433 [Steve Henson]
5434
5435 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5436 [Steve Henson]
5437
5438 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5439 [Steve Henson]
5440
5441 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5442 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5443 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5444 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5445 default implementation more easily.
5446 [Geoff Thorpe]
5447
5448 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5449 in config files.
5450 [Steve Henson]
5451
5452 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5453 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5454 [Richard Levitte]
5455
5456 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5457 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5458 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5459 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5460
5461 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5462 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5463 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5464 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5465 [Steve Henson]
5466
5467 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5468 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5469 to do it.
5470 [Richard Levitte]
5471
5472 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5473 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5474 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5475 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5476 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5477 scalar * generator).
5478 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5479
5480 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5481 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5482 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5483 correctly.
5484 [Steve Henson]
5485
5486 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5487 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5488 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5489 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5490 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5491 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5492 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5493 linker additions, eg;
5494 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5495 [Geoff Thorpe]
5496
5497 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5498 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5499 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5500 [Geoff Thorpe]
5501
5502 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5503 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5504 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5505 via PR#459)
5506 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5507
5508 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5509 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5510 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5511 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5512 [Geoff Thorpe]
5513
5514 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5515 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5516 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5517 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5518 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5519 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5520 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5521 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5522 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5523 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5524
5525 Example for using the new callback interface:
5526
5527 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5528 void *my_arg = ...;
5529 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5530
5531 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5532
5533 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5534 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5535 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5536 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5537 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5538 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5539 */
5540
5541 [Geoff Thorpe]
5542
5543 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5544 available to TLS with the number defined in
5545 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5546 [Richard Levitte]
5547
5548 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5549 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5550
5551 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5552 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5553 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5554 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5555
5556 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5557 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5558
5559 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5560 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5561 well.
5562 [Richard Levitte]
5563
5564 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5565 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5566 [Richard Levitte]
5567
5568 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5569 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5570 and a macro that behave like
5571 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5572
5573 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5574 [Nils Larsch]
5575
5576 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5577 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5578 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5579 if applicable.
5580 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5581
5582 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5583 [Bodo Moeller]
5584
5585 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5586 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5587 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5588 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5589 directory engines/.
5590 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5591 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5592 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5593 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5594 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5595 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5596 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5597 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5598
5599 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5600 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5601 [Richard Levitte]
5602
5603 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5604 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5605
5606 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5607 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5608 files while avoiding the low level API.
5609
5610 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5611 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5612 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5613 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5614
5615 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5616 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5617 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5618 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5619 instead of the low level API.
5620 [Steve Henson]
5621
5622 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5623 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5624 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5625 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5626 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5627 PKCS#7 code.
5628
5629 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5630 down to the template encoder.
5631 [Steve Henson]
5632
5633 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5634 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5635 [Bodo Moeller]
5636
5637 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5638 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5639 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5640 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5641
5642 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5643 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5644
5645 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5646 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5647
5648 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5649 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5650 [Bodo Moeller]
5651
5652 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5653 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5654 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5655 [Bodo Moeller]
5656
5657 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5658 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5659
5660 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5661 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5662
5663 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5664 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5665 New EC_METHOD:
5666
5667 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5668
5669 New API functions:
5670
5671 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5672 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5673 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5674 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5675 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5676 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5677
5678 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5679 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5680 enable it).
5681
5682 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5683 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5684 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5685 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5686 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5687 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5688 various internal method names.)
5689
5690 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5691 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5692
5693 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5694 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5695
5696 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5697 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5698
5699 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5700 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5701 methods are undefined.
5702
5703 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5704 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5705
5706 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5707 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5708 length of the modulus.
5709
5710 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5711 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5712
5713 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5714 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5715
5716 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5717 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5718
5719 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5720 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5721 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5722
5723 BN_GF2m_add
5724 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5725 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5726 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5727 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5728 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5729 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5730 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5731 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5732 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5733
5734 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5735 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5736
5737 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5738 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5739 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5740 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5741 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5742 where
5743 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5744 This applies to the following functions:
5745
5746 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5747 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5748 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5749 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5750 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5751 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5752 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5753 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5754 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5755 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5756
5757 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5758
5759 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5760 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5761
5762 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5763
5764 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5765 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5766 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5767 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5768 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5769
5770 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5771 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5772
5773 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5774 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5775 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5776
5777 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5778 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5779
5780 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5781 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5782 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5783 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5784 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5785
5786 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5787 functions
5788 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5789 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5790 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5791 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5792 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5793 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5794 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5795 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5796 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5797 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5798 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5799 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5800
5801 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5802 functions
5803 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5804 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5805 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5806 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5807 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5808
5809 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5810 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5811 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5812 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5813
5814 *) Add functions
5815 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5816 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5817 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5818 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5819 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5820 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5821 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5822
5823 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5824 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5825 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5826 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5827 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5828 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5829 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5830 adding different types of curves.
5831 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5832
5833 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5834 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5835 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5836 [Bodo Moeller]
5837
5838 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5839 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5840
5841 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5842 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5843 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5844 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5845
5846 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5847
5848 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5849 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5850
5851 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5852 library. Most notably,
5853 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5854 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5855 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5856 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5857 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5858 extracted before the specific public key;
5859 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5860 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5861
5862 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5863 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5864 function
5865 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5866 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5867 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5868 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5869 accessed via
5870 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5871 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5872 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5873
5874 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5875 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5876 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5877 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5878 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5879 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5880 differing sizes.
5881 [Richard Levitte]
5882
5883 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5884
5885 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5886 sensitive data.
5887 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5888
5889 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5890 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5891 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5892 [Bodo Moeller]
5893
5894 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5895 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5896 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5897 [Victor Duchovni]
5898
5899 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5900 [Steve Henson]
5901
5902 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5903 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5904 [Steve Henson]
5905
5906 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5907 run algorithm test programs.
5908 [Steve Henson]
5909
5910 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5911 [Steve Henson]
5912
5913 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5914 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5915 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5916 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5917 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5918 [Bodo Moeller]
5919
5920 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5921 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5922 [Steve Henson]
5923
5924 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5925
5926 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5927 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5928 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5929
5930 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5931 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5932
5933 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5934 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5935
5936 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5937 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5938 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5939
5940 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5941 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5942 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5943 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5944 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5945 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5946 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5947 [Bodo Moeller]
5948
5949 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5950
5951 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5952 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5953
5954 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5955 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5956 undesirable limitations.
5957 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5958
5959 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5960
5961 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5962 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5963 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5964
5965 The latter two were purportedly from
5966 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5967 appear there.
5968
5969 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5970 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5971 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5972 [Bodo Moeller]
5973
5974 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5975 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5976 [Bodo Moeller]
5977
5978 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5979
5980 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5981 module in FIPS mode.
5982 [Steve Henson]
5983
5984 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5985 [Steve Henson]
5986
5987 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5988 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5989 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5990 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5991 [Steve Henson]
5992
5993 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5994
5995 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5996 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5997 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5998 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5999 the difference induced by this change.
6000 [Andy Polyakov]
6001
6002 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6003
6004 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6005 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6006 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6007 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6008 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6009
6010 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6011 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6012 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6013
6014 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6015 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6016 [Steve Henson]
6017
6018 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6019 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6020 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6021 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6022 biased k.)
6023 [Bodo Moeller]
6024
6025 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6026 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6027 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6028 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6029 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6030
6031 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6032 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6033 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6034 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6035 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6036 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6037
6038 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6039
6040 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6041 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6042 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6043 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6044 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6045 [Bodo Moeller]
6046
6047 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6048 clients need.
6049 [Steve Henson]
6050
6051 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6052 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6053 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6054 [Steve Henson]
6055
6056 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6057 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6058 structures constant.
6059 [Steve Henson]
6060
6061 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6062
6063 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6064 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6065
6066 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6067 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6068 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6069 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6070 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6071 some needed definitions.
6072 [Steve Henson]
6073
6074 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6075 [Ulf Möller]
6076
6077 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6078 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6079 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6080 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6081 [Richard Levitte]
6082
6083 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6084
6085 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6086 server and client random values. Previously
6087 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6088 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6089
6090 This change has negligible security impact because:
6091
6092 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6093 data.
6094
6095 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6096 handshake.
6097
6098 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6099 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6100 values.
6101
6102 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6103 to our attention.
6104
6105 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6106
6107 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6108 [Ulf Möller]
6109
6110 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6111 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6112 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6113
6114 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6115 [Steve Henson]
6116
6117 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6118 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6119 [Andy Polyakov]
6120
6121 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6122 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6123 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6124
6125 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6126 [Steve Henson]
6127
6128 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6129 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6130 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6131 certificates.
6132 [Steve Henson]
6133
6134 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6135 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6136 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6137 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6138
6139 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6140 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6141 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6142 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6143 been given)
6144 [Richard Levitte]
6145
6146 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6147
6148 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6149 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6150 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6151 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6152 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6153 [Steve Henson]
6154
6155 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6156 [Steve Henson]
6157
6158 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6159 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6160
6161 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6162 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6163 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6164 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6165 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6166 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6167 rather than being initialized to 1.
6168 [Steve Henson]
6169
6170 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6171
6172 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6173 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6174 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6175
6176 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6177 (CVE-2004-0112)
6178 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6179
6180 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6181 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6182 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6183 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6184 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6185 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6186 [Richard Levitte]
6187
6188 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6189 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6190 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6191 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6192 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6193 for these cases.
6194 [Steve Henson]
6195
6196 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6197 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6198 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6199 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6200 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6201 [Steve Henson]
6202
6203 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6204 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6205 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6206 < 0.9.7.
6207 [Steve Henson]
6208
6209 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6210 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6211
6212 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6213 [Steve Henson]
6214
6215 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6216
6217 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6218
6219 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6220 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6221
6222 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6223
6224 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6225 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6226
6227 [Steve Henson]
6228
6229 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6230 exiting on the first error in a request.
6231 [Steve Henson]
6232
6233 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6234 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6235 specifications.
6236 [Steve Henson]
6237
6238 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6239 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6240 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6241 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6242
6243 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6244 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6245 [Richard Levitte]
6246
6247 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6248 blocks during encryption.
6249 [Richard Levitte]
6250
6251 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6252 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6253 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6254 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6255 certain size.
6256 [Steve Henson]
6257
6258 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6259 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6260 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6261 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6262 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6263 parser.
6264 [Steve Henson]
6265
6266 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6267
6268 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6269 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6270 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6271 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6272 [Bodo Moeller]
6273
6274 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6275 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6276 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6277 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6278 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6279
6280 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6281 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6282 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6283 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6284 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6285 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6286 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6287 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6288 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6289 [Bodo Moeller]
6290
6291 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6292 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6293 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6294 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6295 [Geoff Thorpe]
6296
6297 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6298 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6299 [Ulf Moeller]
6300
6301 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6302
6303 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6304 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6305 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6306 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6307 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6308
6309 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6310 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6311 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6312
6313 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6314 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6315 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6316 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6317 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6318
6319 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6320 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6321 used by default when no-err is given.
6322 [Richard Levitte]
6323
6324 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6325 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6326
6327 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6328 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6329 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6330 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6331 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6332
6333 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6334 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6335 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6336 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6337
6338 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6339
6340 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6341
6342 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6343
6344 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6345 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6346 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6347 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6348 root is omitted).
6349 [Steve Henson]
6350
6351 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6352 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6353
6354 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6355 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6356 [Steve Henson]
6357
6358 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6359 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6360 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6361 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6362 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6363
6364 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6365 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6366 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6367 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6368 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6369 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6370 followup to PR #377.
6371 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6372
6373 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6374 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6375 [Andy Polyakov]
6376
6377 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6378 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6379 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6380 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6381
6382 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6383
6384 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6385 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6386
6387 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6388 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6389 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6390 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6391 client and server.
6392 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6393 PR #377.
6394 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6395
6396 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6397 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6398 removed entirely.
6399 [Richard Levitte]
6400
6401 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6402 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6403 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6404 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6405 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6406 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6407 of libcrypto.
6408 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6409 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6410 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6411 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6412 have to be made anyway).
6413 [Richard Levitte]
6414
6415 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6416 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6417 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6418 [Steve Henson]
6419
6420 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6421 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6422 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6423 [Richard Levitte]
6424
6425 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6426 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6427 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6428
6429 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6430 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6431 edit numbers of the version.
6432 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6433
6434 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6435 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6436 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6437
6438 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6439 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6440
6441 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6442 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6443 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6444
6445 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6446 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6447
6448 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6449 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6450
6451 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6452 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6453
6454 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6455 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6456
6457 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6458 overflows.
6459 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6460
6461 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6462 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6463 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6464
6465 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6466 representations in a platform independent manner.
6467 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6468
6469 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6470 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6471 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6472
6473 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6474 indents.
6475 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6476
6477 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6478 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6479
6480 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6481 full. Fixed.
6482 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6483
6484 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6485 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6486 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6487
6488 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6489 unconditionally).
6490 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6491
6492 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6493 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6494
6495 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6496 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6497
6498 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6499 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6500
6501 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6502 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6503
6504 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6505 CBCParameter.
6506 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6507
6508 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6509 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6510
6511 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6512 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6513
6514 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6515 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6516 exploitable.
6517 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6518
6519 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6520 the 0.9.6 release series:
6521
6522 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6523 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6524 (CVE-2002-0657)
6525 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6526
6527 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6528 [Richard Levitte]
6529
6530 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6531 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6532
6533 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6534 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6535
6536 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6537 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6538 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6539 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6540
6541 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6542 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6543 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6544
6545 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6546 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6547 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6548 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6549
6550 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6551 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6552 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6553 some local tweaks:
6554
6555 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6556 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6557 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6558 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6559 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6560 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6561 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6562 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6563 done
6564
6565 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6566 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6567 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6568 [Richard Levitte]
6569
6570 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6571 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6572 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6573 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6574 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6575
6576 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6577 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6578
6579 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6580 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6581 [Richard Levitte]
6582
6583 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6584 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6585 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6586 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6587 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6588 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6589 [Steve Henson]
6590
6591 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6592 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6593 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6594 [Steve Henson]
6595
6596 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6597 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6598 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6599
6600 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6601 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6602 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6603 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6604 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6605 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6606 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6607 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6608
6609 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6610 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6611 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6612 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6613 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6614 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
6615 [Steve Henson]
6616
6617 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6618 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6619 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6620 declaration has been changed from
6621 int (*cb)()
6622 into
6623 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6624 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6625 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6626 has been changed into
6627 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6628
6629 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6630 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6631 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6632
6633 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6634 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6635
6636 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6637 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6638 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6639 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6640 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6641 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6642 always load it have also been added.
6643 [Steve Henson]
6644
6645 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6646 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6647 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6648
6649 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6650
6651 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6652 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6653 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6654
6655 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6656 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6657 command line option can be used to specify an
6658 alternative file.
6659 [Steve Henson]
6660
6661 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6662 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6663 [Steve Henson]
6664
6665 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6666 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6667 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6668 [Steve Henson]
6669
6670 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6671 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6672 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6673 to work with the new engine framework.
6674 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6675
6676 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6677 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6678 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6679 to work with the new engine framework.
6680 [Richard Levitte]
6681
6682 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6683 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6684 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6685
6686 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6687 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6688
6689 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6690 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6691 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6692 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6693 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6694 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6695
6696 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6697 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6698
6699 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6700 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6701
6702 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6703 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6704 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6705 [Ben Laurie]
6706
6707 *) Add new functions
6708 ERR_peek_last_error
6709 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6710 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6711 These are similar to
6712 ERR_peek_error
6713 ERR_peek_error_line
6714 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6715 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6716 still in the error queue.
6717 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6718
6719 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6720 like:
6721 default_algorithms = ALL
6722 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6723 [Steve Henson]
6724
6725 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6726 [Steve Henson]
6727
6728 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6729 [Steve Henson]
6730
6731 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6732 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6733 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6734 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6735
6736 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6737 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6738
6739 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6740 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6741
6742 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6743 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6744 [Bodo Moeller]
6745
6746 *) New functions/macros
6747
6748 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6749 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6750 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6751 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6752
6753 to request calling a callback function
6754
6755 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6756 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6757
6758 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6759 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6760 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6761 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6762 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6763 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6764 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6765 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6766 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6767 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6768
6769 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6770 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6771 [Bodo Moeller]
6772
6773 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6774 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6775 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6776 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6777 the configuration scripts.
6778
6779 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6780 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6781 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6782
6783 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6784 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6785
6786 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6787 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6788 when reusing an existing buffer.
6789 [Bodo Moeller]
6790
6791 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6792 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6793 [Steve Henson]
6794
6795 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6796 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6797 [Ben Laurie]
6798
6799 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6800 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6801 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6802 has the same effect.
6803 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6804
6805 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6806 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6807 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6808 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6809 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6810 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6811 exception.
6812
6813 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6814 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6815 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6816 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6817
6818 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6819 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6820 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6821 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6822
6823 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6824 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6825 won't work.
6826
6827 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6828 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6829 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6830 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6831 default), and then completely removed.
6832 [Richard Levitte]
6833
6834 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6835 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6836 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6837 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6838 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6839 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6840 particular extension is supported.
6841 [Steve Henson]
6842
6843 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6844 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6845 [Steve Henson]
6846
6847 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6848 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6849 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6850 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6851 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6852 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6853 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6854 requires the destination to be valid.
6855
6856 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6857 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6858 [Steve Henson]
6859
6860 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6861 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6862 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6863 [Bodo Moeller]
6864
6865 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6866 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6867
6868 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6869 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6870 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6871 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6872 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6873 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6874 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6875 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6876 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6877 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6878 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6879 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6880 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6881 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6882 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6883 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6884 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6885 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6886 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6887 the new code.
6888 [Geoff Thorpe]
6889
6890 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6891 [Steve Henson]
6892
6893 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6894 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6895 become part of libeay.num as well.
6896 [Richard Levitte]
6897
6898 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6899 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6900 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6901 false once a handshake has been completed.
6902 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6903 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6904 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6905 client has followed the request.)
6906 [Bodo Moeller]
6907
6908 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6909 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6910 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6911 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6912
6913 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6914 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6915 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6916 [Bodo Moeller]
6917
6918 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6919 [Steve Henson]
6920
6921 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6922 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6923 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6924 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6925
6926 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6927 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6928 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6929
6930 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6931 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6932 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6933 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6934 [Geoff Thorpe]
6935
6936 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6937 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6938 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6939 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6940 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6941 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6942 [Geoff Thorpe]
6943
6944 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6945 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6946 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6947 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6948 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6949 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6950 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6951 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6952 [Geoff Thorpe]
6953
6954 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6955 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6956 [Geoff Thorpe]
6957
6958 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6959 [Ben Laurie]
6960
6961 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6962 md_data void pointer.
6963 [Ben Laurie]
6964
6965 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6966 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6967 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6968 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6969 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6970 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6971 [Ben Laurie]
6972
6973 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6974 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6975 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6976 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6977 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6978 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6979 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6980 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6981 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6982 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6983 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6984 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6985 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6986 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6987 rather than letting it slide.
6988
6989 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6990 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6991 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6992 [Geoff Thorpe]
6993
6994 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6995 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6996 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6997 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6998 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6999 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7000 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7001 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7002 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7003 [Geoff Thorpe]
7004
7005 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7006 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7007 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7008 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7009 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7010
7011 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7012 [Geoff Thorpe]
7013
7014 *) Add EVP test program.
7015 [Ben Laurie]
7016
7017 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7018 [Ben Laurie]
7019
7020 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7021 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7022 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7023 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7024 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7025 [Steve Henson]
7026
7027 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7028 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7029 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7030 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7031 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7032 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7033 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7034
7035 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7036 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7037 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7038 Usage example:
7039
7040 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7041
7042 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7043 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7044 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7045 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7046 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7047
7048 [Ben Laurie]
7049
7050 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7051 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7052 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7053 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7054 anyway): E.g.,
7055
7056 des_key_schedule ks;
7057
7058 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7059 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7060
7061 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7062 [Ben Laurie]
7063
7064 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7065 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7066 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7067 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7068 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7069 functions prevents this.
7070 [Steve Henson]
7071
7072 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7073 [Ben Laurie]
7074
7075 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7076 correct _ecb suffix.
7077 [Ben Laurie]
7078
7079 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7080 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7081 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7082 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7083 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7084 [Steve Henson]
7085
7086 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7087 [Richard Levitte]
7088
7089 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7090 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7091 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7092 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7093
7094 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7095 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7096
7097 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7098 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7099 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7100 via Richard Levitte]
7101
7102 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7103 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7104 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7105 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7106 [Geoff Thorpe]
7107
7108 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7109 Before:
7110 encrypt
7111 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7112 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
7113 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
7114 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
7115 decrypt
7116 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
7117 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
7118 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
7119 After:
7120 encrypt
7121 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
7122 decrypt
7123 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
7124 [Ben Laurie]
7125
7126 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7127 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7128
7129 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7130 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7131 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7132 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7133 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7134 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7135 [Steve Henson]
7136
7137 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7138 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7139 [Richard Levitte]
7140
7141 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7142 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7143 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7144 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7145
7146 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7147 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7148 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7149 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7150 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7151 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7152 callback.
7153 [Richard Levitte]
7154
7155 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7156 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7157 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7158 and interrupts/cancellations.
7159 [Richard Levitte]
7160
7161 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7162 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7163 [Steve Henson]
7164
7165 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7166 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7167 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7168
7169 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7170 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7171 kind of callback.
7172 [Richard Levitte]
7173
7174 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7175 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7176 than this minimum value is recommended.
7177 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7178
7179 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7180 that are easily reachable.
7181 [Richard Levitte]
7182
7183 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7184 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7185
7186 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7187
7188 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7189 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7190 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7191 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7192 [Steve Henson]
7193
7194 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7195 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7196 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7197 [Steve Henson]
7198
7199 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7200 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7201 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7202 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7203 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7204 internally such as S/MIME.
7205
7206 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7207 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7208 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7209
7210 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7211 applications.
7212 [Steve Henson]
7213
7214 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7215 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7216 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7217 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7218
7219 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7220
7221 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7222
7223 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7224 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7225 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7226 handling.
7227 [Steve Henson]
7228
7229 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7230 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7231 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7232 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7233 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7234 a window system and the like.
7235 [Richard Levitte]
7236
7237 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7238 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7239 [Geoff]
7240
7241 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7242 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7243 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7244 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7245 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7246 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7247 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7248 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7249 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7250 ENGINE structure.
7251 [Geoff]
7252
7253 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7254 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7255 tag cache.
7256 [Steve Henson]
7257
7258 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7259 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7260 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7261 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7262 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7263 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7264 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7265 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7266 [Geoff]
7267
7268 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7269 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7270 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7271 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7272 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7273 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7274 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7275 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7276 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7277 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7278 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7279 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7280 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7281 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7282 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7283 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7284 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7285 [Geoff]
7286
7287 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7288 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7289 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7290 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7291 internal engine_int.h header.
7292 [Geoff]
7293
7294 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7295 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7296 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7297 modify their own ones).
7298 [Geoff]
7299
7300 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7301 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7302 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7303 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7304 later on via ctrl() commands.
7305 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7306 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7307 structural references.
7308 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7309 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7310 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7311 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7312 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7313 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7314 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7315 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7316 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7317 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7318 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7319 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7320 [Geoff]
7321
7322 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7323 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7324 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7325 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7326 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7327 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7328 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7329 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7330 [Bodo Moeller]
7331
7332 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7333 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7334 [Steve Henson]
7335
7336 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7337 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7338 [Steve Henson]
7339
7340 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7341 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7342 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7343 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7344 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7345 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7346 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7347 [Steve Henson]
7348
7349 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7350 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7351 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7352 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7353 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7354
7355 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7356 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7357 generator).
7358 [Bodo Moeller]
7359
7360 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7361
7362 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7363 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7364 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7365
7366 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7367 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7368
7369 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7370 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7371 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7372
7373 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7374 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7375
7376 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7377 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7378
7379 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7380
7381 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7382 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7383 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7384 [Bodo Moeller]
7385
7386 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7387 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7388 [Richard Levitte]
7389
7390 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7391 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7392 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7393 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7394 is 40 of more characters long.
7395 [Steve Henson]
7396
7397 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7398 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7399 pointers.
7400 [Steve Henson]
7401
7402 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7403 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7404 [Bodo Moeller]
7405
7406 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7407 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7408 might.
7409 [Steve Henson]
7410
7411 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7412
7413 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7414 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7415
7416 ASN1 error codes
7417 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7418 ...
7419 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7420 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7421 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7422 ...
7423 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7424 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7425
7426 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7427 [Bodo Moeller]
7428
7429 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7430 suffices.
7431 [Bodo Moeller]
7432
7433 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7434 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7435 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7436 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7437 and
7438 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7439
7440 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7441 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7442
7443 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7444 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7445 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7446 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7447 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7448 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7449
7450 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7451 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7452
7453 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7454 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7455
7456 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7457 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7458
7459 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7460 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7461 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7462 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7463
7464 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7465 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7466
7467 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7468 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7469
7470 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7471 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7472 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7473 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7474 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7475 [Richard Levitte]
7476
7477 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7478 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7479 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7480 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7481 [Steve Henson]
7482
7483 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7484 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7485 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7486 trust settings.
7487 [Steve Henson]
7488
7489 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7490 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7491 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7492 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7493 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7494 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7495 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7496 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7497 ocsp utility.
7498 [Steve Henson]
7499
7500 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7501 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7502 [Steve Henson]
7503
7504 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7505 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7506 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7507 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7508 [Steve Henson]
7509
7510 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7511 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7512 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7513 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7514 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7515 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7516 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7517 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7518 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7519 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7520 [Steve Henson]
7521
7522 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7523 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7524 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7525 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7526 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7527 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7528 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7529 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7530
7531 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7532 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7533 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7534 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7535 [Richard Levitte]
7536
7537 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7538 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7539 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7540 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7541 opensslconf.h.
7542 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7543 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7544 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7545 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7546 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7547 what is available.
7548 [Richard Levitte]
7549
7550 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7551 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7552 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7553 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7554 auto incremented.
7555 [Steve Henson]
7556
7557 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7558 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7559 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7560 [Steve Henson]
7561
7562 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7563 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7564 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7565 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7566 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7567 [Steve Henson]
7568
7569 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7570 [Steve Henson]
7571
7572 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7573 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7574 option to ocsp utility.
7575 [Steve Henson]
7576
7577 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7578 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7579 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7580 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7581 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7582 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7583 the request is nonce-less.
7584 [Steve Henson]
7585
7586 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7587 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7588 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7589 [Bodo Moeller]
7590
7591 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7592 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7593 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7594 [Steve Henson]
7595
7596 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7597 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7598 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7599 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7600 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7601 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7602
7603 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7604 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7605 appear to exist.
7606 [Steve Henson]
7607
7608 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7609 additional certificates supplied.
7610 [Steve Henson]
7611
7612 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7613 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7614 signature against.
7615 [Richard Levitte]
7616
7617 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7618 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7619 AES OIDs.
7620
7621 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7622 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7623 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7624 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7625 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7626 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7627 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7628 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7629 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7630
7631 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7632 request to response.
7633 [Steve Henson]
7634
7635 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7636 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7637 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7638 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7639 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7640 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7641 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7642 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7643 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7644 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7645 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7646 [Steve Henson]
7647
7648 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7649 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7650 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7651 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7652 [Steve Henson]
7653
7654 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7655 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7656
7657 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7658 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7659 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7660 [Steve Henson]
7661
7662 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7663 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7664 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7665 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7666 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7667
7668 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7669 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7670 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7671 [Steve Henson]
7672
7673 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7674 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7675 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7676 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7677 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7678 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7679 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7680 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7681
7682 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7683 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7684 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7685 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7686 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7687 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7688 [Steve Henson]
7689
7690 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7691 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7692 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7693 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7694 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7695 printout format cleaned up.
7696 [Steve Henson]
7697
7698 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7699 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7700 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7701 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7702 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7703 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7704 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7705 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7706 [Steve Henson]
7707
7708 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7709 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7710 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7711 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7712 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7713 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7714 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7715 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7716 [Steve Henson]
7717
7718 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7719 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7720 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7721 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7722 section to use.
7723 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7724
7725 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7726 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7727 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7728 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7729 [Steve Henson]
7730
7731 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7732 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7733 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7734 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7735 in the index file.
7736 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7737
7738 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7739 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7740 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7741 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7742
7743 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7744 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7745
7746 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7747 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7748 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7749 [Steve Henson]
7750
7751 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7752 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7753 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7754 [Bodo Moeller]
7755
7756 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7757 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7758 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7759 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7760 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7761 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7762 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7763 functions are provided:
7764
7765 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7766 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7767 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7768 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7769
7770 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7771 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7772 extended allocation function is enabled.
7773 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7774 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7775 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7776
7777 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7778 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7779 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7780 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7781 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7782 [Geoff Thorpe]
7783
7784 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7785 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7786 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7787 be queried.
7788 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7789 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7790 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7791 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7792
7793 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7794 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7795 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7796 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7797 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7798 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7799 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7800 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7801 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7802 [Richard Levitte]
7803
7804 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7805 provide utility functions which an application needing
7806 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7807 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7808 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7809
7810 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7811 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7812 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7813 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7814 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7815 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7816 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7817 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7818 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7819
7820 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7821 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7822 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7823 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7824 [Steve Henson]
7825
7826 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7827 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7828 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7829 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7830 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7831 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7832 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7833 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7834 will be added elsewhere.
7835 [Steve Henson]
7836
7837 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7838 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7839 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7840 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7841 [Steve Henson]
7842
7843 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7844 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7845 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7846 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7847 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7848 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7849 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7850 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7851 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7852 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7853 to produce the required SET OF.
7854 [Steve Henson]
7855
7856 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7857 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7858 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7859 [Richard Levitte]
7860
7861 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7862 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7863 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7864 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7865 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7866 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7867 [Steve Henson]
7868
7869 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7870 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7871 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7872 [Steve Henson]
7873
7874 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7875 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7876 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7877 [Richard Levitte]
7878
7879 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7880 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7881 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7882 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7883 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7884 [Steve Henson]
7885
7886 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7887 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7888 [Steve Henson]
7889
7890 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7891 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7892 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7893 certificates and CRLs.
7894 [Steve Henson]
7895
7896 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7897 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7898 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7899 [Steve Henson]
7900
7901 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7902 entries for variables.
7903 [Steve Henson]
7904
7905 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7906 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7907 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7908 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7909 [Bodo Moeller]
7910
7911 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7912 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7913 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7914 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7915 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7916 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7917 [Bodo Moeller]
7918
7919 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7920 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7921
7922 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7923 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7924 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7925 [Steve Henson]
7926
7927 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7928 print routines.
7929 [Steve Henson]
7930
7931 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7932 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7933 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7934 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7935 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7936 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7937 [Steve Henson]
7938
7939 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7940 [Steve Henson]
7941
7942 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7943 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7944 for now but they will eventually go away.
7945 [Steve Henson]
7946
7947 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7948 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7949 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7950 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7951 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7952 has also been converted to the new form.
7953 [Steve Henson]
7954
7955 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7956 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7957 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7958 for negative moduli.
7959 [Bodo Moeller]
7960
7961 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7962 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7963 [Bodo Moeller]
7964
7965 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7966 set.
7967 [Bodo Moeller]
7968
7969 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7970 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7971 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7972 type-specific callbacks.
7973 [Geoff Thorpe]
7974
7975 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7976 RFC 2712.
7977 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7978 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7979
7980 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7981 in sections depending on the subject.
7982 [Richard Levitte]
7983
7984 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7985 Windows.
7986 [Richard Levitte]
7987
7988 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7989 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7990 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7991 be handled deterministically).
7992 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7993
7994 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7995 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7996 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7997 [Bodo Moeller]
7998
7999 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8000 [Bodo Moeller]
8001
8002 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8003 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8004 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8005 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8006 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8007 [Bodo Moeller]
8008
8009 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8010 sign of the number in question.
8011
8012 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8013
8014 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8015 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8016 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8017 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8018 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8019 [Bodo Moeller]
8020
8021 *) New function BN_swap.
8022 [Bodo Moeller]
8023
8024 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8025 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8026 results on negative inputs.
8027 [Bodo Moeller]
8028
8029 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8030 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8031 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8032 [Bodo Moeller]
8033
8034 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8035 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8036 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8037 and add new functions:
8038
8039 BN_nnmod
8040 BN_mod_sqr
8041 BN_mod_add
8042 BN_mod_add_quick
8043 BN_mod_sub
8044 BN_mod_sub_quick
8045 BN_mod_lshift1
8046 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8047 BN_mod_lshift
8048 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8049
8050 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8051
8052 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8053 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8054
8055 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8056 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8057 be reduced modulo m.
8058 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8059
8060 #if 0
8061 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8062 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8063 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8064
8065 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8066 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8067 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8068 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8069 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8070 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8071 differing sizes.
8072 [Richard Levitte]
8073 #endif
8074
8075 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8076 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8077 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8078 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8079 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8080
8081 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8082 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8083 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8084 cause any problems.
8085 [Bodo Moeller]
8086
8087 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8088 [Richard Levitte]
8089
8090 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8091 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8092 [Richard Levitte]
8093
8094 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8095 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8096 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8097 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8098 time)
8099 [Richard Levitte]
8100
8101 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8102 [Richard Levitte]
8103
8104 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8105 [Richard Levitte]
8106
8107 *) Add the following functions:
8108
8109 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8110 ENGINE_load_chil()
8111 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8112 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8113 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8114
8115 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8116 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8117 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8118 libraries unless it's really needed.
8119
8120 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8121 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8122 declarations (they differed!).
8123 [Richard Levitte]
8124
8125 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8126 [Richard Levitte]
8127
8128 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8129 [Richard Levitte]
8130
8131 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8132 [Bodo Moeller]
8133
8134 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8135 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8136 [Richard Levitte]
8137
8138 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8139 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8140 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8141
8142 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8143 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8144 [Richard Levitte]
8145
8146 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8147 [Richard Levitte]
8148
8149 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8150 [Richard Levitte]
8151
8152 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8153 [Ben Laurie]
8154
8155 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8156 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8157 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8158
8159 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8160 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8161 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8162 different shared library filenames on each system.
8163 [Geoff Thorpe]
8164
8165 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8166 [Richard Levitte]
8167
8168 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8169 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8170 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8171 of two sections.
8172 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8173
8174 *) NCONF changes.
8175 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8176 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8177 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8178 binary backward compatibility.
8179 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8180 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8181 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8182 LDAP server.
8183 [Richard Levitte]
8184
8185 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8186 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8187 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8188 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8189 this case.
8190 [Steve Henson]
8191
8192 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8193 [Ben Laurie]
8194
8195 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8196 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8197 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8198 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8199 set.
8200 [Steve Henson]
8201
8202 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8203 [Richard Levitte]
8204
8205 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8206
8207 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8208 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8209 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8210
8211 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8212
8213 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8214
8215 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8216 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8217 [Steve Henson]
8218
8219 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8220
8221 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8222
8223 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8224 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8225
8226 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8227 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8228
8229 [Steve Henson]
8230
8231 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8232 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8233 specifications.
8234 [Steve Henson]
8235
8236 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8237 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8238 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8239 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8240
8241 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8242 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8243 [Richard Levitte]
8244
8245 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8246
8247 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8248 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8249 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8250 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8251 [Bodo Moeller]
8252
8253 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8254 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8255 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8256 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8257 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8258
8259 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8260 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8261 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8262 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8263 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8264 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8265 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8266 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8267 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8268 [Bodo Moeller]
8269
8270 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8271
8272 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8273 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8274 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8275 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8276 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8277
8278 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8279 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8280 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8281
8282 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8283
8284 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8285 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8286 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8287 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8288 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8289 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8290 [Geoff Thorpe]
8291
8292 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8293 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8294 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8295 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8296 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8297 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8298
8299 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8300 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8301 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8302
8303 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8304 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8305 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8306 EVP_cleanup().
8307 [Richard Levitte]
8308
8309 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8310 being properly terminated.
8311 [Richard Levitte]
8312
8313 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8314 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8315 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8316 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8317
8318 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8319 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8320 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8321 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8322 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8323 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8324 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8325 change.
8326 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8327
8328 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8329 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8330 [Bodo Moeller]
8331
8332 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8333 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8334 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8335 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8336 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8337 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8338 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8339 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8340
8341 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8342 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8343 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8344 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8345 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8346
8347 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8348 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8349 [Steve Henson]
8350
8351 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8352
8353 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8354 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8355 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8356
8357 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8358
8359 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8360 and get fix the header length calculation.
8361 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8362 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8363 Steve Henson]
8364
8365 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8366 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8367 assertions could call abort()).
8368 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8369
8370 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8371
8372 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8373 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8374 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8375 supplied buffer.
8376 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8377
8378 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8379 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8380 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8381 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8382
8383 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8384 [Nils Larsch]
8385
8386 *) New option
8387 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8388 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8389 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8390
8391 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8392 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8393 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8394 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8395 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8396 applications.
8397 [Bodo Moeller]
8398
8399 *) Changes in security patch:
8400
8401 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8402 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8403 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8404 F30602-01-2-0537.
8405
8406 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8407 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8408 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8409 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8410 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8411
8412 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8413 happen in practice.
8414 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8415
8416 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8417 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8418 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8419
8420 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8421 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8422 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8423
8424 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8425 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8426 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8427
8428 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8429
8430 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8431 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8432 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8433
8434 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8435 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8436
8437 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8438 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8439 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8440 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8441 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8442 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8443 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8444
8445 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8446 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8447 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8448 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8449 [Bodo Moeller]
8450
8451 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8452 [Bodo Moeller]
8453
8454 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8455 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8456 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8457 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8458 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8459 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8460
8461 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8462 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8463 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8464 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8465 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8466 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8467
8468 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8469 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8470 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8471 BN_generate_prime().)
8472
8473 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8474 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8475 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8476 better.
8477 [Bodo Moeller]
8478
8479 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8480 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8481 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8482
8483 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8484 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8485 when using non-blocking I/O.
8486 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8487
8488 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8489 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8490
8491 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8492 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8493 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8494
8495 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8496 configuration for the versions before that.
8497 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8498
8499 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8500 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8501 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8502 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8503 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8504
8505 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8506 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8507 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8508 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8509
8510 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8511 value is 0.
8512 [Richard Levitte]
8513
8514 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8515 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8516 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8517
8518 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8519 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8520
8521 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8522 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8523 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8524 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8525 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8526 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8527 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8528 session cache.
8529
8530 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8531 using a local variable.
8532 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8533
8534 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8535 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8536 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8537
8538 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8539 [Richard Levitte]
8540
8541 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8542 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8543
8544 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8545 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8546 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8547
8548 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8549
8550 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8551 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8552 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8553 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8554 [Bodo Moeller]
8555
8556 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8557 present.
8558 [Steve Henson]
8559
8560 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8561 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8562 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8563 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8564 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8565
8566 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8567 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8568 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8569
8570 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8571 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8572 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8573
8574 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8575 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8576 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8577 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8578
8579 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8580 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8581 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8582 modules).
8583 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8584
8585 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8586 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8587 from 0.9.7.
8588 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8589
8590 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8591 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8592 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8593 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8594
8595 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8596 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8597 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8598 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8599
8600 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8601 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8602
8603 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8604 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8605 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8606 [Bodo Moeller]
8607
8608 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8609 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8610 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8611 become invalid.
8612 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8613
8614 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8615 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8616 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8617 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8618 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8619 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8620 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8621 [Bodo Moeller]
8622
8623 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8624 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8625 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8626 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8627
8628 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8629 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8630 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8631 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8632 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8633 the client will at least see that alert.
8634 [Bodo Moeller]
8635
8636 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8637 correctly.
8638 [Bodo Moeller]
8639
8640 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8641 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8642 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8643
8644 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8645 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8646 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8647 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8648 HelloRequest.
8649
8650 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8651 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8652 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8653
8654 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8655 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8656 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8657 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8658 may leak via logfiles.)
8659
8660 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8661 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8662 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8663 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8664 the legal range.
8665 [Bodo Moeller]
8666
8667 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8668 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8669 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8670
8671 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8672 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8673 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8674 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8675 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8676 [Bodo Moeller]
8677
8678 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8679 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8680
8681 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8682 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8683 followed by modular reduction.
8684 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8685
8686 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8687 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8688 [Bodo Moeller]
8689
8690 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8691 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8692 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8693 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8694 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8695
8696 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8697 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8698
8699 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8700 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8701 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8702
8703 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8704 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8705 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8706 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8707 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8708 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8709 automatically.
8710 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8711
8712 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8713 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8714 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8715 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8716 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8717
8718 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8719 [Andy Polyakov]
8720
8721 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8722 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8723 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8724 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8725 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8726 to allow the necessary settings.
8727 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8728
8729 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8730 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8731 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8732 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8733 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8734
8735 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8736 dh->length and always used
8737
8738 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8739
8740 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8741 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8742 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8743 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8744 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8745 dh->length.
8746
8747 So switch back to
8748
8749 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8750
8751 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8752 otherwise.
8753 [Bodo Moeller]
8754
8755 *) In
8756
8757 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8758 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8759 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8760 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8761
8762 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8763 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8764 always reject numbers >= n.
8765 [Bodo Moeller]
8766
8767 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8768 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8769 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8770 variable) is not atomic.
8771 [Bodo Moeller]
8772
8773 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8774 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8775 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8776 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8777
8778 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8779 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8780
8781 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8782 little-endian MIPS.
8783 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8784
8785 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8786 [Richard Levitte]
8787
8788 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8789
8790 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8791 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8792 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8793 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8794 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8795 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8796 to traverse all of 'state'.
8797
8798 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8799 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8800 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8801
8802 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8803 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8804
8805 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8806 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8807 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8808 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8809 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8810 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8811 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8812 further strengthens the PRNG.
8813 [Bodo Moeller]
8814
8815 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8816 [Andy Polyakov]
8817
8818 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8819 an error message in this case.
8820 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8821
8822 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8823 [Steve Henson]
8824
8825 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8826 positive and less than q.
8827 [Bodo Moeller]
8828
8829 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8830 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8831 that itself.
8832 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8833
8834 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8835 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8836 [Bodo Moeller]
8837
8838 *) Fix OAEP check.
8839 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8840
8841 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8842 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8843 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8844 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8845 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8846 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8847 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8848 paper.)
8849
8850 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8851 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8852 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8853 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8854
8855 Both problems are now fixed.
8856 [Bodo Moeller]
8857
8858 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8859 (previously it was 1024).
8860 [Bodo Moeller]
8861
8862 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8863 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8864 [Steve Henson]
8865
8866 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8867 [Steve Henson]
8868
8869 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8870 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8871 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8872 [Steve Henson]
8873
8874 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8875 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8876 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8877 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8878 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8879 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8880 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8881 environment variables.
8882
8883 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8884 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8885 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8886 [Bodo Moeller]
8887
8888 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8889 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8890 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8891 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8892 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8893 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8894 [Bodo Moeller]
8895
8896 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8897 versions of 'test'.
8898 [Bodo Moeller]
8899
8900 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8901
8902 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8903 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8904
8905 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8906 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8907 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8908 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8909 CygWin.
8910 [Richard Levitte]
8911
8912 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8913 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8914 amount of data available.
8915 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8916 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8917
8918 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8919 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8920 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8921 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8922 [Bodo Moeller]
8923
8924 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8925 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8926 and UnixWare.
8927 [Richard Levitte]
8928
8929 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8930 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8931 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8932 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8933 [Ulf Moeller]
8934
8935 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8936 [Andy Polyakov]
8937
8938 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8939 [Richard Levitte]
8940
8941 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8942 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8943 [Steve Henson]
8944 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8945
8946 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8947 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8948 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8949 (but broken) behaviour.
8950 [Steve Henson]
8951
8952 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8953 it when found.
8954 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8955
8956 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8957 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8958 [Bodo Moeller]
8959
8960 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8961 did not exist.
8962 [Bodo Moeller]
8963
8964 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8965 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8966
8967 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8968 [Richard Levitte]
8969
8970 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8971 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8972 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8973
8974 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8975 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8976 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8977 [Steve Henson]
8978
8979 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8980 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8981 [Ulf Moeller]
8982
8983 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8984 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8985
8986 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8987
8988 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8989
8990 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8991 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8992 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8993 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8994 [Bodo Moeller]
8995
8996 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8997 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8998
8999 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9000 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9001 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9002
9003 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9004 was empty.
9005 [Steve Henson]
9006 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9007
9008 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9009 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9010 but the code is actually correct.
9011 [Steve Henson]
9012
9013 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9014 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9015 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9016 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9017 and leaves the highest bit random.
9018 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9019
9020 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9021 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9022 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9023 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9024 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9025 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9026 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9027 [Bodo Moeller]
9028
9029 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9030 [Ulf Moeller]
9031
9032 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9033 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9034 [Steve Henson]
9035
9036 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9037 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9038 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9039 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9040 headers.
9041 [Richard Levitte]
9042
9043 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9044 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9045 and break the signature.
9046 [Steve Henson]
9047 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9048
9049 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9050 DH ciphersuites.
9051 [Steve Henson]
9052
9053 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9054 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9055 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9056 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9057 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9058 [Bodo Moeller]
9059
9060 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9061 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9062
9063 *) ./config script fixes.
9064 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9065
9066 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9067 [Bodo Moeller]
9068
9069 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9070 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9071 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9072 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9073 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9074
9075 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9076 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9077 [Bodo Moeller]
9078
9079 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9080 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9081 [Steve Henson]
9082
9083 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9084 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9085 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9086 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9087
9088 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9089 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9090
9091 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9092 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9093 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9094 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9095 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9096
9097 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9098 [Bodo Moeller]
9099
9100 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9101 [Ulf Möller]
9102
9103 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9104 [Ulf Möller]
9105
9106 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9107 [Bodo Moeller]
9108
9109 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9110 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9111 [Bodo Moeller]
9112
9113 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9114 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9115 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9116 result of the server certificate verification.)
9117 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9118
9119 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9120 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9121 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9122 [Bodo Moeller]
9123
9124 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9125 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9126 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9127 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9128 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9129 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9130 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9131 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9132 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9133 [Bodo Moeller]
9134
9135 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9136 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9137 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9138 happening the other way round.
9139 [Geoff Thorpe]
9140
9141 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9142 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9143 [Bodo Moeller]
9144
9145 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9146 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9147 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9148 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9149 [Richard Levitte]
9150
9151 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9152 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9153
9154 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9155
9156 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9157 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9158 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9159 that.
9160
9161 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9162
9163 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9164
9165 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9166 static ones.
9167 [Richard Levitte]
9168
9169 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9170
9171 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9172 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9173 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9174 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9175 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9176
9177 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9178 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9179 matter what.
9180 [Richard Levitte]
9181
9182 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9183 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9184
9185 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9186
9187 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9188 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9189 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9190 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9191 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9192 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9193 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9194 by the Finished messages.
9195 [Bodo Moeller]
9196
9197 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9198 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9199
9200 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9201 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9202 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9203 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9204 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9205 appropriately.
9206 [Steve Henson]
9207
9208 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9209 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9210 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9211 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9212 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9213 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9214 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9215 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9216 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9217 together.
9218 [Steve Henson]
9219
9220 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9221 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9222 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9223 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9224
9225 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9226 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9227 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9228 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9229 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9230 the answer.
9231
9232 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9233 been tested well enough.
9234 [Richard Levitte]
9235
9236 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9237 it can return incorrect results.
9238 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9239 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9240 [Bodo Moeller]
9241
9242 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9243 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9244 include zero length content when signing messages.
9245 [Steve Henson]
9246
9247 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9248 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9249 [Bodo Möller]
9250
9251 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9252 [Richard Levitte]
9253
9254 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9255 wrong sign.
9256 [Ulf Möller]
9257
9258 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9259 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9260 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9261 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9262 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9263 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9264 [Richard Levitte]
9265
9266 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9267 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9268
9269 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9270 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9271
9272 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9273 random number < q in the DSA library.
9274 [Ulf Möller]
9275
9276 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9277 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9278 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9279 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9280 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9281 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9282 just makes things more complicated.)
9283 [Bodo Moeller]
9284
9285 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9286 from EGD.
9287 [Ben Laurie]
9288
9289 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9290 work better on such systems.
9291 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9292
9293 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9294 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9295 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9296 [Steve Henson]
9297
9298 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9299 if there was more than one signature.
9300 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9301
9302 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9303 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9304 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9305 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9306 [Richard Levitte]
9307
9308 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9309 rather than always using the current time.
9310 [Steve Henson]
9311
9312 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9313 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9314 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9315 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9316 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9317 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9318
9319 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9320 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9321
9322 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9323
9324 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9325 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9326 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9327 the same hash value.
9328
9329 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9330 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9331 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9332 with X509_STORE internally.
9333
9334 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9335 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9336
9337 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9338 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9339 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9340 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9341 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9342 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9343 entirely (maybe later...).
9344
9345 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9346
9347 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9348 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9349 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9350 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9351 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9352 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9353 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9354 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9355
9356 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9357 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9358
9359 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9360 to customise the verify behaviour.
9361 [Steve Henson]
9362
9363 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9364 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9365 [Steve Henson]
9366
9367 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9368 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9369 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9370 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9371 request is improperly encoded.
9372 [Steve Henson]
9373
9374 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9375 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9376 BIO_write(b, ...).
9377
9378 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9379 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9380
9381 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9382 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9383 words set to zero.)
9384 [Bodo Moeller]
9385
9386 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9387 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9388 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9389 [Bodo Moeller]
9390
9391 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9392 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9393 BIO/fp routines also added.
9394 [Steve Henson]
9395
9396 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9397 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9398
9399 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9400 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9401 demos/state_machine.
9402 [Ben Laurie]
9403
9404 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9405 generation and verification.
9406 [Steve Henson]
9407
9408 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9409 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9410 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9411 encode and decode it manually.
9412 [Steve Henson]
9413
9414 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9415 compile under VC++.
9416 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9417
9418 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9419 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9420 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9421 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9422
9423 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9424 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9425 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9426 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9427 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9428 [Steve Henson]
9429
9430 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9431 [Richard Levitte]
9432
9433 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9434 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9435 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9436
9437 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9438 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9439 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9440 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9441 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9442 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9443 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9444 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9445
9446 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9447 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9448
9449 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9450
9451 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9452 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9453 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9454
9455 [Richard Levitte]
9456
9457 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9458 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9459 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9460 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9461 [Richard Levitte]
9462
9463 *) MD4 implemented.
9464 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9465
9466 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9467 [Richard Levitte]
9468
9469 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9470 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9471 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9472 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9473 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9474 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9475 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9476 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9477 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9478 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9479 short or long names are found.
9480 [Steve Henson]
9481
9482 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9483 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9484
9485 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9486 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9487 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9488 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9489
9490 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9491 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9492 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9493 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9494 [Bodo Moeller]
9495
9496 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9497 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9498 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9499 [Richard Levitte]
9500
9501 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9502 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9503 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9504 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9505 to allow the various flags to be set.
9506 [Steve Henson]
9507
9508 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9509 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9510 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9511 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9512 dates to be checked.
9513 [Steve Henson]
9514
9515 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9516 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9517 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9518 [Steve Henson]
9519
9520 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9521 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9522 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9523 [Steve Henson]
9524
9525 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9526 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9527 [Bodo Moeller]
9528
9529 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9530 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9531 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9532 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9533 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9534 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9535 [Richard Levitte]
9536
9537 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9538 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9539 Random Numbers.
9540 [Ulf Möller]
9541
9542 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9543 DSA key.
9544 [Steve Henson]
9545
9546 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9547 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9548 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9549 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9550 form signing output easier to verify.
9551 [Steve Henson]
9552
9553 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9554 [Steve Henson]
9555
9556 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9557 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9558 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9559 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9560 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9561 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9562 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9563 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9564 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9565 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9566 [Steve Henson]
9567
9568 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9569
9570 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9571 the syntax given in objects.README.
9572 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9573 obj_mac.h.
9574 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9575 obj_mac.h.
9576
9577 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9578 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9579 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9580 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9581 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9582 consistent name changes.
9583 [Richard Levitte]
9584
9585 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9586 [Bodo Moeller]
9587
9588 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9589 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9590 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9591 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9592 [Richard Levitte]
9593
9594 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9595 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9596 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9597 of safestack.h .
9598 [Steve Henson]
9599
9600 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9601 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9602 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9603 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9604 [Steve Henson]
9605
9606 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9607 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9608 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9609 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9610 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9611 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9612 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9613 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9614 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9615 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9616 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9617 [Steve Henson]
9618
9619 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9620 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9621 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9622 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9623 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9624 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9625 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9626 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9627 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9628 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9629 [Steve Henson]
9630
9631 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9632 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9633 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9634 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9635
9636 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9637 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9638 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9639 omit any duplicate addresses.
9640 [Steve Henson]
9641
9642 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9643 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9644 [Bodo Moeller]
9645
9646 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9647 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9648 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9649 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9650 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9651 [Bodo Moeller]
9652
9653 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9654 software:
9655 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9656 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9657 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9658 Free => OPENSSL_free
9659 [Richard Levitte]
9660
9661 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9662 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9663 [Bodo Moeller]
9664
9665 *) CygWin32 support.
9666 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9667
9668 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9669 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9670 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9671 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9672 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9673 approach.
9674 [Geoff Thorpe]
9675
9676 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9677 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9678 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9679 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9680 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9681 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9682 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9683 [Geoff Thorpe]
9684
9685 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9686 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9687 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9688 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9689 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9690 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9691 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9692 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9693 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9694 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9695 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9696 [Bodo Moeller]
9697
9698 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9699 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9700 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9701 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9702 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9703
9704 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9705 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9706 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9707 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9708 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9709
9710 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9711 ciphers.
9712
9713 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9714 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9715 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9716 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9717
9718 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9719
9720 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9721 of macros.
9722
9723 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9724 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9725 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9726 flags.
9727
9728 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9729 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9730 any installed hardware versions can.
9731 [Steve Henson]
9732
9733 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9734 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9735 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9736 number.
9737 [Bodo Moeller]
9738
9739 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9740 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9741 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9742 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9743 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9744
9745 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9746 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9747 [Steve Henson]
9748
9749 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9750 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9751 [Richard Levitte]
9752
9753 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9754 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9755 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9756 features.
9757 [Steve Henson]
9758
9759 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9760 [Ulf Möller]
9761
9762 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9763 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9764 but no ssl client purpose.
9765 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9766
9767 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9768 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9769 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9770 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9771 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9772 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9773 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9774 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9775 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9776 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9777 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9778 [Steve Henson]
9779
9780 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9781 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9782 be obtained from the error queue.
9783 [Bodo Moeller]
9784
9785 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9786 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9787 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9788 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9789 [Bodo Moeller]
9790
9791 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9792 [Ulf Möller]
9793
9794 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9795 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9796 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9797 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9798 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9799 [Geoff Thorpe]
9800
9801 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9802 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9803 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9804 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9805 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9806 [Geoff Thorpe]
9807
9808 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9809 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9810 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9811 may not be NULL.
9812 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9813
9814 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9815 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9816 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9817 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9818 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9819 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9820 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9821 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9822 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9823 or "the configuration storage API"...
9824
9825 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9826
9827 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9828 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9829
9830 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9831
9832 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9833
9834 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9835 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9836 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9837 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9838 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9839 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9840 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9841
9842 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9843 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9844 [Richard Levitte]
9845
9846 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9847 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9848 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9849 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9850 [Bodo Moeller]
9851
9852 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9853 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9854 them in a portable way.
9855 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9856
9857 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9858
9859 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9860
9861 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9862 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9863
9864 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9865 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9866 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9867 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9868
9869 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9870 was larger than the MD block size.
9871 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9872
9873 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9874 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9875 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9876 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9877 components.
9878 [Steve Henson]
9879
9880 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9881 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9882 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9883
9884 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9885 discouraged.
9886 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9887
9888 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9889 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9890 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9891 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9892 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9893 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9894
9895 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9896 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9897
9898 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9899 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9900 [Bodo Moeller]
9901
9902 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9903 [Bodo Moeller]
9904
9905 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9906 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9907 its own key.
9908 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9909 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9910 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9911 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9912 [Bodo Moeller]
9913
9914 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9915 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9916 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9917 does not suppress any output.
9918 [Richard Levitte]
9919
9920 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9921 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9922 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9923 with all the associated security issues.
9924
9925 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9926 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9927 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9928 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9929 use the value in the default purpose.
9930 [Steve Henson]
9931
9932 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9933 and fix a memory leak.
9934 [Steve Henson]
9935
9936 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9937 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9938 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9939 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9940 [Bodo Moeller]
9941
9942 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9943 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9944 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9945 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9946 [Bodo Moeller]
9947
9948 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9949 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9950 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9951 [Bodo Moeller]
9952
9953 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9954 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9955 [Bodo Moeller]
9956
9957 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9958 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9959 which was free.
9960 [Steve Henson]
9961
9962 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9963 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9964 [Bodo Moeller]
9965
9966 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9967 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9968 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9969 [Bodo Moeller]
9970
9971 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9972 number generation fails.
9973 [Bodo Moeller]
9974
9975 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9976 [Bodo Moeller]
9977
9978 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9979 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9980
9981 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9982 [Ulf Möller]
9983
9984 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9985 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9986
9987 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9988 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9989
9990 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9991
9992 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9993 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9994 [Steve Henson]
9995
9996 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9997 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9998
9999 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10000 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10001 [Ulf Möller]
10002
10003 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10004 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10005 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10006 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10007 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10008 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10009
10010 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10011 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10012 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10013 for example.
10014 [Steve Henson]
10015
10016 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10017 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10018 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10019 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10020 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10021 counter, some don't.)
10022 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10023 counters or duplicate objects.
10024 [Steve Henson]
10025
10026 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10027 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10028 [Steve Henson]
10029
10030 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10031 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10032 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10033
10034 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10035 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10036 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10037 or -rand.
10038 [Ulf Möller]
10039
10040 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10041 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10042 [Steve Henson]
10043
10044 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10045 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10046 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10047 cipher list.
10048 [Steve Henson]
10049
10050 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10051 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10052 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10053 [Steve Henson]
10054
10055 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10056 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10057 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10058 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10059 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10060 should work without changes.
10061 [Richard Levitte]
10062
10063 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10064 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10065 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10066 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10067 must be defined. E.g.,
10068 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10069 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10070 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10071 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10072
10073 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10074 record layer.
10075 [Bodo Moeller]
10076
10077 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10078 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10079 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10080 [Steve Henson]
10081
10082 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10083 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10084 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10085 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10086 [Steve Henson]
10087
10088 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10089 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10090 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10091 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10092 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10093 is prompted for as usual.
10094 [Steve Henson]
10095
10096 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10097 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10098 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10099 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10100
10101 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10102 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10103 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10104 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10105 [Steve Henson]
10106
10107 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10108 [Andy Polyakov]
10109
10110 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10111 of seed file.
10112 [Steve Henson]
10113
10114 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10115 [Bodo Moeller]
10116
10117 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10118 [Steve Henson]
10119
10120 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10121 bits.
10122 [Ulf Möller]
10123
10124 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10125 [Ulf Möller]
10126
10127 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10128 [Andy Polyakov]
10129
10130 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10131 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10132 [Ulf Möller]
10133
10134 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10135 options to produce them.
10136 [Steve Henson]
10137
10138 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10139 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10140 [Ulf Möller]
10141
10142 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10143 for p == 0.
10144 [Ulf Möller]
10145
10146 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10147 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10148 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10149 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10150 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10151 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10152 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10153 [Steve Henson]
10154
10155 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10156 [Steve Henson]
10157
10158 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10159 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10160 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10161 [Bodo Moeller]
10162
10163 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10164 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10165
10166 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10167 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10168 [Ulf Möller]
10169
10170 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10171 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10172 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10173 has already seen).
10174 [Bodo Moeller]
10175
10176 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10177 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10178
10179 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10180 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10181 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10182 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10183 generation becomes much faster.
10184
10185 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10186 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10187 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10188 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10189 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10190 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10191 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10192 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10193 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10194 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10195 [Bodo Moeller]
10196
10197 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10198 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10199 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10200 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10201 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10202 trial division stage.
10203 [Bodo Moeller]
10204
10205 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10206 as ASN1_TIME.
10207 [Steve Henson]
10208
10209 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10210 [Steve Henson]
10211
10212 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10213 [Ulf Möller]
10214
10215 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10216 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10217 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10218 the comments.
10219 [Ulf Möller]
10220
10221 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10222 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10223 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10224 [Bodo Moeller]
10225
10226 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10227 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10228 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10229 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10230
10231 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10232 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10233 [Steve Henson]
10234
10235 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10236 [Ulf Möller]
10237
10238 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10239 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10240 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10241 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10242 [Ulf Möller]
10243
10244 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10245 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10246 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10247 [Ulf Möller]
10248
10249 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10250 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10251 (instead of parameters) in future.
10252 [Steve Henson]
10253
10254 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10255 when a new cipher list is set.
10256 [Steve Henson]
10257
10258 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10259 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10260 wrong.
10261
10262 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10263 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10264 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10265
10266 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10267 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10268 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10269 an error is flagged.
10270
10271 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10272 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10273 the readability was also increased :-)
10274 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10275
10276 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10277 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10278 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10279 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10280 as the root CA.
10281 [Steve Henson]
10282
10283 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10284 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10285 [Steve Henson]
10286
10287 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10288 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10289 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10290 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10291 instead.
10292
10293 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10294 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10295 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10296 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10297 because they handle more complex structures.)
10298 [Steve Henson]
10299
10300 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10301 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10302 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10303 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10304
10305 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10306 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10307 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10308 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10309 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10310 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10311 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10312 [Ulf Möller]
10313
10314 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10315 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10316 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10317 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10318 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10319 [Bodo Moeller]
10320
10321 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10322 [Bodo Moeller]
10323
10324 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10325 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10326 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10327 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10328 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10329 to use this.
10330
10331 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10332 code.
10333 [Steve Henson]
10334
10335 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10336 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10337 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10338 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10339 [Steve Henson]
10340
10341 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10342 [Ulf Möller]
10343
10344 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10345 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10346 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10347 international characters are used.
10348
10349 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10350 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10351 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10352 in ASN1 order.
10353 [Steve Henson]
10354
10355 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10356 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10357 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10358 request.
10359
10360 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10361 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10362 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10363 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10364 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10365 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10366
10367 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10368 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10369 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10370 be handled by the string table functions.
10371
10372 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10373 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10374 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10375 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10376 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10377 types at all.
10378 [Steve Henson]
10379
10380 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10381 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10382 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10383 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10384 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10385
10386 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10387 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10388 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10389 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10390 [Bodo Moeller]
10391
10392 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10393 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10394 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10395 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10396 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10397 SHA1.
10398 [Andy Polyakov]
10399
10400 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10401 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10402 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10403 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10404 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10405 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10406 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10407 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10408
10409 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10410 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10411 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10412 [Steve Henson]
10413
10414 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10415 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10416 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10417 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10418 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10419 support to pkcs8 application.
10420 [Steve Henson]
10421
10422 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10423 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10424 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10425 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10426 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10427 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10428 [Bodo Moeller]
10429
10430 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10431 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10432 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10433 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10434 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10435 consistency.
10436 [Bodo Moeller]
10437
10438 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10439 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10440 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10441 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10442 example.
10443 [Steve Henson]
10444
10445 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10446 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10447 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10448 and any application specific purposes.
10449
10450 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10451 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10452 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10453 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10454 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10455 if the certificate is self signed.
10456 [Steve Henson]
10457
10458 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10459 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10460 [Steve Henson]
10461
10462 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10463 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10464 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10465 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10466 [Steve Henson]
10467
10468 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10469 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10470 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10471 Update documentation.
10472 [Steve Henson]
10473
10474 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10475 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10476 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10477 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10478 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10479 [Steve Henson]
10480
10481 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10482 for details.
10483 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10484
10485 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10486 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10487 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10488 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10489 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10490 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10491 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10492 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10493 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10494 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10495
10496 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10497
10498 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10499 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10500 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10501 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10502 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10503
10504 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10505 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10506 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10507 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10508 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10509 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10510 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10511 request additional information:
10512 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10513 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10514
10515 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10516 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10517 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10518 options.
10519
10520 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10521 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10522
10523 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10524 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10525 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10526
10527 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10528 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10529
10530 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10531 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10532 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10533 algorithm.
10534 [Steve Henson]
10535
10536 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10537 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10538 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10539
10540 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10541 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10542 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10543 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10544 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10545 included in OpenSSL.
10546 [Steve Henson]
10547
10548 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10549 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10550 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10551 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10552 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10553 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10554 [Bodo Moeller]
10555
10556 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10557 PKCS12 structure.
10558 [Steve Henson]
10559
10560 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10561 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10562 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10563 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10564 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10565 structure.
10566 [Steve Henson]
10567
10568 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10569 need initialising.
10570 [Steve Henson]
10571
10572 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10573 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10574 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10575 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10576 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10577 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10578 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10579 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10580 be maintained manually.
10581
10582 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10583 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10584 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10585 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10586 work because people forget to call this function]
10587 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10588 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10589 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10590 [Steve Henson]
10591
10592 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10593 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10594 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10595 should be discouraged from doing it.
10596 [Ben Laurie]
10597
10598 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10599 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10600 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10601 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10602 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10603 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10604 [Steve Henson]
10605
10606 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10607 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10608 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10609
10610 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10611 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10612 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10613
10614 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10615 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10616 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10617 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10618 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10619 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10620
10621 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10622 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10623 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10624
10625 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10626 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10627 and vice versa.
10628
10629 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10630 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10631 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10632 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10633 [Steve Henson]
10634
10635 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10636 [Steve Henson]
10637
10638 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10639 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10640 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10641 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10642 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10643 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10644 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10645 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10646 keys so we should be OK.
10647
10648 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10649 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10650 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10651 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10652 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10653 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10654 stay in the name of compatibility.
10655
10656 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10657 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10658 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10659
10660 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10661 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10662 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10663 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10664 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10665 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10666 supplied key).
10667 [Steve Henson]
10668
10669 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10670 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10671 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10672 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10673 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10674 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10675 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10676 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10677 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10678 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10679 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10680 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10681 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10682 [Steve Henson]
10683
10684 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10685 [Steve Henson]
10686
10687 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10688 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10689 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10690 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10691 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10692 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10693 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10694 openssl verify ss.pem
10695 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10696 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10697 is OK.
10698 [Steve Henson]
10699
10700 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10701 (and add it to external session representation).
10702 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10703 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10704 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10705 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10706 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10707 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10708 security holes.
10709 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10710
10711 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10712 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10713 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10714 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10715
10716 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10717 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10718 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10719 [Steve Henson]
10720
10721 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10722 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10723 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10724 code.
10725 [Steve Henson]
10726
10727 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10728 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10729 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10730
10731 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10732 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10733 certificate auxiliary information.
10734 [Steve Henson]
10735
10736 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10737 the 'enc' command.
10738 [Steve Henson]
10739
10740 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10741 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10742 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10743 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10744 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10745 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10746 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10747 [Richard Levitte]
10748
10749 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10750 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10751 [Steve Henson]
10752
10753 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10754 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10755 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10756 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10757 [Steve Henson]
10758
10759 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10760 [Steve Henson]
10761
10762 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10763 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10764 [Steve Henson]
10765
10766 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10767 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10768 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10769 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10770 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10771 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10772 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10773 using the new 'x509' options.
10774
10775 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10776 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10777 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10778 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10779 for all purposes.
10780 [Steve Henson]
10781
10782 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10783 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10784 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10785 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10786 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10787 [Mark Cox]
10788
10789 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10790 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10791 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10792 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10793 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10794 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10795 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10796 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10797 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10798 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10799 [Steve Henson]
10800
10801 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10802 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10803 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10804 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10805 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10806 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10807 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10808 [Steve Henson]
10809
10810 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10811 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10812 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10813 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10814 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10815 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10816 openssl.cnf for more info.
10817 [Steve Henson]
10818
10819 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10820 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10821 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10822 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10823 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10824 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10825 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10826 md should be large enough anyway.
10827 [Bodo Moeller]
10828
10829 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10830 for handling the random seed file.
10831
10832 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10833 ca,
10834 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10835 s_client,
10836 s_server,
10837 x509 (when signing).
10838 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10839 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10840 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10841
10842 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10843 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10844 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10845 that support '-rand'.
10846 [Bodo Moeller]
10847
10848 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10849 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10850 [Bodo Moeller]
10851
10852 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10853 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10854 [Bill Perry]
10855
10856 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10857 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10858 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10859 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10860 is suitable.
10861 [Steve Henson]
10862
10863 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10864 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10865 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10866 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10867 [Steve Henson]
10868
10869 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10870 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10871 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10872 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10873 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10874 print out all the purposes.
10875 [Steve Henson]
10876
10877 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10878 functions.
10879 [Steve Henson]
10880
10881 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10882 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10883 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10884 single function call.
10885 [Steve Henson]
10886
10887 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10888 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10889 [Andy Polyakov]
10890
10891 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10892 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10893 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10894 [Steve Henson]
10895
10896 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10897 when producing the local key id.
10898 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10899
10900 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10901 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10902 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10903 "server.pem".
10904 [Steve Henson]
10905
10906 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10907 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10908 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10909 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10910 [Steve Henson]
10911
10912 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10913 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10914 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10915 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10916
10917 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10918 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10919 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10920 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10921
10922 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10923 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10924 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10925 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10926 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10927 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10928 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10929 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10930 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10931 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10932 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10933 trivial: move one line.
10934 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10935
10936 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10937 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10938 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10939 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10940 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10941 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10942 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10943 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10944 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10945 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10946 with an event loop for example.
10947 [Steve Henson]
10948
10949 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10950 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10951 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10952 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10953 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10954 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10955 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10956 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10957 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10958 [Steve Henson]
10959
10960 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10961 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10962 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10963 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10964 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10965 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10966 [Steve Henson]
10967
10968 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10969 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10970 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10971 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10972
10973 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10974 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10975 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10976 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10977 key generation.
10978 [Steve Henson]
10979
10980 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10981 (still largely untested)
10982 [Bodo Moeller]
10983
10984 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10985 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10986 [Steve Henson]
10987
10988 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10989 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10990 [Steve Henson]
10991
10992 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10993 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10994 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10995 [Bodo Moeller]
10996
10997 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10998 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10999 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11000 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11001 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11002 [Steve Henson]
11003
11004 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11005 [Andy Polyakov]
11006
11007 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11008 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11009 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11010 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11011 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11012 in ca.
11013 [Steve Henson]
11014
11015 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11016 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11017 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11018 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11019 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11020 [Steve Henson]
11021
11022 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11023 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11024 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11025 are otherwise ignored at present.
11026 [Steve Henson]
11027
11028 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11029 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11030 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11031 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11032 copied until the next read.
11033 [Steve Henson]
11034
11035 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11036 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11037 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11038 [Steve Henson]
11039
11040 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11041 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11042 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11043 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11044 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11045 associated functions.
11046 [Steve Henson]
11047
11048 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11049 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11050 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11051 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11052 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11053 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11054 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11055 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11056 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11057 memory BIOs.
11058 [Steve Henson]
11059
11060 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11061 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11062 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11063 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11064 [Bodo Moeller]
11065
11066 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11067 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11068 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11069 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11070 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11071 functionality.
11072 [Steve Henson]
11073
11074 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11075 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11076 under Win32.
11077 [Steve Henson]
11078
11079 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11080 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11081 extensions to be obtained and added.
11082 [Steve Henson]
11083
11084 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11085 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11086 [Bodo Moeller]
11087
11088 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11089
11090 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11091 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11092
11093 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11094 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11095
11096 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11097 program.
11098 [Steve Henson]
11099
11100 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11101 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11102 DH parameters contain its length).
11103
11104 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11105 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11106 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11107 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11108 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11109 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11110 utter importance to use
11111 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11112 or
11113 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11114 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11115 attacks may become possible!
11116 [Bodo Moeller]
11117
11118 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11119 [Bodo Moeller]
11120
11121 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11122 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11123 [Steve Henson]
11124
11125 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11126 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11127 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11128 or long name.
11129 [Steve Henson]
11130
11131 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11132 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11133 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11134 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11135 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11136 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11137 private key operations.
11138 [Steve Henson]
11139
11140 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11141 [Andy Polyakov]
11142
11143 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11144 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11145 to
11146 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11147 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11148 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11149 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11150 the password callback is called.
11151 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11152
11153 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11154
11155 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11156 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11157 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11158 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11159 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11160 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11161 this will work.
11162
11163 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11164 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11165 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11166 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11167 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11168 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11169 [Bodo Moeller]
11170
11171 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11172 [Andy Polyakov]
11173
11174 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11175 delete an unused file.
11176 [Ulf Möller]
11177
11178 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11179 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11180 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11181 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11182 [Steve Henson]
11183
11184 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11185 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11186 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11187 of an error.
11188 [Bodo Moeller]
11189
11190 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11191 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11192 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11193
11194 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11195 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11196 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11197 comparison" warnings.
11198 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11199 [Steve Henson]
11200
11201 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11202 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11203 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11204 [Steve Henson]
11205
11206 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11207 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11208
11209 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11210 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11211
11212 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11213 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11214 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11215
11216 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11217 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11218 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11219 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11220 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11221 this bug.
11222 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11223
11224 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11225 The interface is as follows:
11226 Applications can use
11227 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11228 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11229 "off" is now the default.
11230 The library internally uses
11231 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11232 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11233 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11234
11235 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11236 even the default) are now avoided.
11237
11238 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11239 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11240 than just having a counter.
11241
11242 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11243
11244 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11245 extensions.
11246 [Bodo Moeller]
11247
11248 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11249 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11250 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11251 Initial "mode" flags are:
11252
11253 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11254 a single record has been written.
11255 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11256 retries use the same buffer location.
11257 (But all of the contents must be
11258 copied!)
11259 [Bodo Moeller]
11260
11261 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11262 worked.
11263
11264 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11265 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11266
11267 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11268 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11269 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11270 [Steve Henson]
11271
11272 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11273 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11274 test programs.
11275 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11276
11277 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11278 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11279 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11280 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11281 point to the end.
11282 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11283 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11284
11285 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11286 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11287 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11288 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11289 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11290 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11291 [Steve Henson]
11292
11293 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11294 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11295 necessary function names.
11296 [Steve Henson]
11297
11298 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11299 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11300 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11301 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11302 [Bodo Moeller]
11303
11304 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11305 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11306 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11307 [Steve Henson]
11308
11309 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11310 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11311 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11312 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11313 such programs?)
11314 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11315 need locks.
11316 [Bodo Moeller]
11317
11318 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11319 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11320 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11321 [Bodo Moeller]
11322
11323 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11324 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11325 appropriate.
11326 [Bodo Moeller]
11327
11328 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11329 for the encoded length.
11330 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11331
11332 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11333 [Steve Henson]
11334
11335 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11336 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11337 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11338 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11339 [Steve Henson]
11340
11341 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11342 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11343 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11344
11345 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11346 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11347 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11348 unusual formatting.
11349 [Steve Henson]
11350
11351 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11352 to use the new extension code.
11353 [Steve Henson]
11354
11355 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11356 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11357 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11358 constant.
11359 [Steve Henson]
11360
11361 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11362 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11363 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11364 [Bodo Moeller]
11365
11366 #if 0
11367 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11368 [Ben Laurie]
11369 #else
11370 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11371 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11372 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11373 #endif
11374
11375 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11376 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11377 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11378 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11379 [Ben Laurie]
11380
11381 *) DES library cleanups.
11382 [Ulf Möller]
11383
11384 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11385 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11386 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11387 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11388 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11389 of v2.0.
11390 [Steve Henson]
11391
11392 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11393 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11394 [Bodo Moeller]
11395
11396 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11397 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11398 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11399 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11400 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11401 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11402 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11403 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11404 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11405 [Steve Henson]
11406
11407 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11408 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11409 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11410 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11411 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11412 value doesn't matter.
11413 [Steve Henson]
11414
11415 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11416 support mutable.
11417 [Ben Laurie]
11418
11419 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11420 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11421 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11422 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11423
11424 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11425 [Ulf Möller]
11426
11427 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11428 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11429 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11430
11431 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11432 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11433
11434 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11435 [Ben Laurie]
11436
11437 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11438 [Ben Laurie]
11439
11440 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11441 [Ben Laurie]
11442
11443 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11444 [Bodo Moeller]
11445
11446
11447 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11448
11449 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11450
11451 *) Updated some demos.
11452 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11453
11454 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11455 [Wu Zhigang]
11456
11457 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11458 [Steve Henson]
11459
11460 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11461 [Steve Henson]
11462
11463 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11464 instead of using a fixed path.
11465 [Bodo Moeller]
11466
11467 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11468 [Andy Polyakov]
11469
11470 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11471 [Richard Levitte]
11472
11473
11474 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11475
11476 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11477 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11478 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11479
11480 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11481 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11482 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11483 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11484 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11485 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11486 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11487 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11488 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11489 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11490 [Steve Henson]
11491
11492 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11493 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11494 [Steve Henson]
11495
11496 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11497 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11498 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11499 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11500 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11501
11502 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11503 [Bodo Moeller]
11504
11505 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11506 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11507 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11508 [Steve Henson]
11509
11510 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11511 [Ben Laurie]
11512
11513 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11514 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11515 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11516 key elements as negative integers.
11517 [Steve Henson]
11518
11519 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11520 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11521
11522 *) VMS support.
11523 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11524
11525 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11526 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11527 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11528 [Steve Henson]
11529
11530 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11531 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11532 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11533 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11534 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11535 [Bodo Moeller]
11536
11537 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11538 [Ulf Möller]
11539
11540 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11541 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11542 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11543 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11544
11545 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11546 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11547 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11548
11549 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11550 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11551 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11552 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11553 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11554 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11555 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11556 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11557 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11558
11559 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11560 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11561 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11562 does not influence s as it used to.
11563
11564 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11565 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11566 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11567 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11568 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11569 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11570 [Bodo Moeller]
11571
11572 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11573 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11574 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11575 key type.
11576 [Steve Henson]
11577
11578 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11579 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11580 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11581 and 'x509').
11582 [Steve Henson]
11583
11584 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11585 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11586 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11587 extension option.
11588 [Steve Henson]
11589
11590 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11591 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11592 [Ben Laurie]
11593
11594 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11595 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11596
11597 *) Support Mingw32.
11598 [Ulf Möller]
11599
11600 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11601 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11602
11603 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11604 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11605
11606 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11607 [Ulf Möller]
11608
11609 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11610 [Anonymous]
11611
11612 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11613 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11614
11615 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11616 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11617 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11618 DER-encoded.)
11619 [Bodo Moeller]
11620
11621 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11622 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11623 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11624 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11625 now it really counts the depth.
11626 [Bodo Moeller]
11627
11628 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11629 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11630 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11631 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11632 didn't match the private key).
11633
11634 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11635 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11636 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11637 [Bodo Moeller]
11638
11639 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11640 [Ulf Möller]
11641
11642 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11643 David Harris.
11644 [Bodo Moeller]
11645
11646 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11647 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11648 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11649 [Bodo Moeller]
11650
11651 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11652 [Bodo Moeller]
11653
11654 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11655 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11656 such as /usr/local/bin.
11657 [Bodo Moeller]
11658
11659 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11660 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11661
11662 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11663 [Ulf Möller]
11664
11665 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11666 extension adding in x509 utility.
11667 [Steve Henson]
11668
11669 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11670 [Ulf Möller]
11671
11672 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11673 prototypes.
11674 [Steve Henson]
11675
11676 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11677 [Ulf Möller]
11678
11679 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11680 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11681 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11682 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11683 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11684 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11685 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11686 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11687 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11688 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11689 [Steve Henson]
11690
11691 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11692 [Bodo Moeller]
11693
11694 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11695 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11696 [Bodo Moeller]
11697
11698 *) Fix some race conditions.
11699 [Bodo Moeller]
11700
11701 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11702 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11703 [Steve Henson]
11704
11705 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11706 [Ulf Möller]
11707
11708 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11709 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11710 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11711 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11712
11713 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11714 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11715
11716 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11717 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11718 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11719
11720 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11721 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11722
11723 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11724 [Ulf Möller]
11725
11726 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11727 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11728
11729 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11730 [Ulf Möller]
11731
11732 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11733 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11734
11735 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11736 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11737 [Steve Henson]
11738
11739 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11740 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11741 [Ben Laurie]
11742
11743 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11744 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11745 [Steve Henson]
11746
11747 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11748 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11749 [Steve Henson]
11750
11751 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11752 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11753 [Steve Henson]
11754
11755 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11756 support typesafe stack.
11757 [Steve Henson]
11758
11759 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11760 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11761
11762 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11763 old X509V3 handling code.
11764 [Steve Henson]
11765
11766 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11767 [Ulf Möller]
11768
11769 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11770 [Bodo Moeller]
11771
11772 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11773 [Ben Laurie]
11774
11775 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11776 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11777
11778 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11779 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11780 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11781 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11782 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11783 [Ben Laurie]
11784
11785 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11786 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11787 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11788 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11789 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11790
11791 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11792 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11793 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11794 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11795
11796 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11797 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11798 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11799 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11800
11801 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11802 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11803 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11804 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11805 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11806 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11807 [Bodo Moeller]
11808
11809 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11810 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11811 [Bodo Moeller]
11812
11813 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11814 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11815 [Ulf Möller]
11816
11817 *) Tweaks to Configure
11818 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11819
11820 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11821 yet...
11822 [Steve Henson]
11823
11824 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11825 [Ulf Möller]
11826
11827 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11828 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11829 [Ulf Möller]
11830
11831 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11832 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11833 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11834 [Bodo Moeller]
11835
11836 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11837 [Bodo Moeller]
11838
11839 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11840 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11841 [Steve Henson]
11842
11843 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11844 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11845 to library startup routines.
11846 [Steve Henson]
11847
11848 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11849 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11850 codes along the way.
11851 [Steve Henson]
11852
11853 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11854 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11855 objects to objects.h
11856 [Steve Henson]
11857
11858 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11859 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11860 [Steve Henson]
11861
11862 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11863 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11864
11865 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11866 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11867 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11868
11869 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11870 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11871 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11872
11873 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11874 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11875 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11876
11877
11878 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11879
11880 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11881 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11882 [Ben Laurie]
11883
11884 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11885 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11886 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11887 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11888 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11889
11890 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11891 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11892 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11893 document.
11894 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11895
11896 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11897 Malloc, Free.
11898 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11899
11900 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11901 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11902
11903 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11904 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11905 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11906 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11907
11908 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11909 [Ben Laurie]
11910
11911 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11912 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11913 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11914 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11915 [Steve Henson]
11916
11917 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11918 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11919 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11920 [Steve Henson]
11921
11922 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11923 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11924 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11925 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11926 installed as `perl').
11927 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11928
11929 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11930 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11931
11932 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11933 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11934 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11935 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11936 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11937 [Steve Henson]
11938
11939 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11940 [Ben Laurie]
11941
11942 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11943 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11944 is horrible: I feel ill....
11945 [Steve Henson]
11946
11947 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11948 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11949 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11950 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11951 [Steve Henson]
11952
11953 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11954 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11955
11956 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11957 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11958 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11959 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11960
11961 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11962 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11963 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11964 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11965 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11966 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11967 openssl_bio.xs.
11968 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11969
11970 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11971 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11972
11973 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11974 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11975
11976 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11977 [Ben Laurie]
11978
11979 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11980 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11981 in CRLs.
11982 [Steve Henson]
11983
11984 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11985 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11986 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11987 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11988 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11989 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11990 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11991 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11992 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11993 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11994 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11995
11996 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11997 [Ben Laurie]
11998
11999 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12000 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12001 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12002 for linking it into DSOs.
12003 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12004
12005 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12006 Fixed.
12007 [Ben Laurie]
12008
12009 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12010 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12011 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12012 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12013 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12015
12016 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12017 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12018 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12019 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12020 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12021 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12022 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12023
12024 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12025 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12026 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12027 encryption.
12028 [Ben Laurie]
12029
12030 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12031 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12032 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12033 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12034 [Steve Henson]
12035
12036 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12037 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12038 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12039 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12040 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12041 field as blank.
12042 [Steve Henson]
12043
12044 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12045 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12046 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12047 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12048 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12049
12050 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12051 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12052 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12053
12054 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12055 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12056
12057 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12058 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12059 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12060 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12061 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12062 [Steve Henson]
12063
12064 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12065 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12066 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12067 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12068 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12069 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12070 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12071 [Ben Laurie]
12072
12073 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12074 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12075 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12076 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12077 [Ben Laurie]
12078
12079 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12080 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12081
12082 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12083 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12084 [Steve Henson]
12085
12086 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12087 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12088 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12089 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12090 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12091 (e.g. s_server).
12092 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12093 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12094 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12095 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12096 no way to reconfigure them.
12097 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12098 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12099 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12100 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12101 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12102 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12103
12104 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12105 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12106 recognized by the users.
12107 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12108
12109 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12110 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12111 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12112 already masked variable.
12113 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12114
12115 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12116 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12117
12118 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12119 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12120 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12121 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12122
12123 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12124 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12125 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12126
12127 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12128 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12129 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12130 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12131 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12132 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12133 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12134 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12135 now, too.
12136 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12137
12138 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12139 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12140 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12141
12142 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12143 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12144 config file.
12145 [Steve Henson]
12146
12147 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12148 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12149
12150 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12151 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12152 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12153 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12154 [Ben Laurie]
12155
12156 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12157 [Steve Henson]
12158
12159 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12160 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12161
12162 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12163 [Ben Laurie]
12164
12165 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12166 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12167 [Steve Henson]
12168
12169 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12170 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12171 [Steve Henson]
12172
12173 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12174 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12175 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12176 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12177 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12178 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12179 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12180 Ben Laurie]
12181
12182 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12183 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12184
12185 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12186 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12187 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12188 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12189 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12190
12191 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12192 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12193 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12194 [Steve Henson]
12195
12196 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12197 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12198 an example.
12199 [Steve Henson]
12200
12201 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12202 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12203 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12204
12205 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12206 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12207 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12208 build instructions.
12209 [Steve Henson]
12210
12211 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12212 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12213 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12214 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12215 [Steve Henson]
12216
12217 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12218 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12219 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12220 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12221 [Ben Laurie]
12222
12223 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12224 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12225 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12226 so it wasn't spotted.
12227 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12228
12229 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12230 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12231 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12232 vectors if you have them.
12233 [Ben Laurie]
12234
12235 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12236 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12237 [Ben Laurie]
12238
12239 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12240 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12241 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12242 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12243 If you do a:
12244 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12245 it will update them.
12246 [Steve Henson]
12247
12248 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12249 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12250 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12251 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12252 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12253 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12254 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12255 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12256
12257 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12258 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12259 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12260 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12261 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12262 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12263 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12264 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12265 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12267
12268 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12269 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12270 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12271 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12272 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12273 [Steve Henson]
12274
12275 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12276 INTEGER code.
12277 [Steve Henson]
12278
12279 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12280 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12281
12282 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12283 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12284
12285 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12286 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12287 [Ben Laurie]
12288
12289 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12290 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12291
12292 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12293 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12294
12295 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12296 [Steve Henson]
12297
12298 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12299 few typos.
12300 [Steve Henson]
12301
12302 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12303 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12304 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12305 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12306
12307 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12308 [Steve Henson]
12309
12310 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12311 [Steve Henson]
12312
12313 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12314 [Steve Henson]
12315
12316 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12317 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12318 [Steve Henson]
12319
12320 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12321 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12322 CA extensions.
12323 [Steve Henson]
12324
12325 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12326 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12327 [Steve Henson]
12328
12329 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12330 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12331 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12332 [Steve Henson]
12333
12334 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12335 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12336 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12337 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12338 properly to be processed.
12339 [Steve Henson]
12340
12341 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12342 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12343 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12344 [Ben Laurie]
12345
12346 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12347 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12348
12349 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12350 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12351 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12352 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12353 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12354 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12355 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12356 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12357 or delete all the .err files.
12358 [Steve Henson]
12359
12360 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12361 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12362 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12363 to regenerate it if needed.
12364 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12365 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12366
12367 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12368 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12369
12370 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12371 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12372 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12373 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12374 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12375 [Steve Henson]
12376
12377 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12378 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12379
12380 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12381 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12382
12383 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12384 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12385 error, but didn't set one).
12386 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12387
12388 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12389 [Ben Laurie]
12390
12391 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12392 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12393 [Steve Henson]
12394
12395 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12396 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12397
12398 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12399 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12400 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12401 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12402 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12403 OID is not part of the table.
12404 [Steve Henson]
12405
12406 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12407 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12408 [Ben Laurie]
12409
12410 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12411 [Ben Laurie]
12412
12413 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12414 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12415 was "1234").
12416 [Steve Henson]
12417
12418 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12419 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12420
12421 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12422 NULL pointers.
12423 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12424
12425 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12426 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12427
12428 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12429 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12430
12431 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12432 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12433
12434 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12435 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12436 [Ben Laurie]
12437
12438 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12439 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12440 [Steve Henson]
12441
12442 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12443 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12444
12445 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12446 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12447
12448 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12449 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12450
12451 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12452 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12453
12454 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12455 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12456 unused in the certificate verification process.
12457 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12458
12459 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12460 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12461 [Steve Henson]
12462
12463 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12464 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12465 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12466
12467 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12468 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12469 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12470 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12471 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12472
12473 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12474 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12475 [Steve Henson]
12476
12477 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12478 [Steve Henson]
12479
12480 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12481 [Paul Sutton]
12482
12483 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12484 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12485
12486 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12487 [Ben Laurie]
12488
12489 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12490 [Ben Laurie]
12491
12492 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12493 [Ben Laurie]
12494
12495 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12496 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12497 other error libraries.
12498 [Steve Henson]
12499
12500 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12501 [Steve Henson]
12502
12503 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12504 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12505 be read in.
12506 [Steve Henson]
12507
12508 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12509 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12510 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12511 the new set of documentation files.
12512 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12513
12514 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12515 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12516 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12517 number of arguments.
12518 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12519
12520 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12521 [Ben Laurie]
12522
12523 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12524 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12525 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12526
12527 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12528 [Ben Laurie]
12529
12530 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12531 nextstep
12532 ncr-scde
12533 unixware-2.0
12534 unixware-2.0-pentium
12535 sco5-cc.
12536 [Ben Laurie]
12537
12538 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12539 before they are needed.
12540 [Ben Laurie]
12541
12542 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12543 [Ben Laurie]
12544
12545
12546 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12547
12548 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12549 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12550 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12551
12552 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12553 [Paul Sutton]
12554
12555 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12556 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12557 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12558
12559 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12560 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12561 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12562
12563 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12564 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12565 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12566
12567 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12568 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12569
12570 *) Updated the README file.
12571 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12572
12573 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12574 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12575 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12576
12577 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12578 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12579 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12580
12581 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12582 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12583 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12584 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12585 o removed obsolete TODO file
12586 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12587 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12588
12589 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12590 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12591 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12592 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12593 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12594 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12596
12597 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12598 [Mark J. Cox]
12599
12600 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12601 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12602 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12603 summer 1998.
12604 [The OpenSSL Project]

12615 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12616 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12617 [Eric A. Young]
12618
12619 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12620 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12621 available).
12622 [Eric A. Young]
12623
12624 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12625 binary structures
12626 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12627
12628 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12629 [Eric A. Young]
12630
12631 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
12632 [Eric A. Young]
12633
12634 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
12635 [Eric A. Young]
12636
12637 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
12638 [Eric A. Young]
12639
12640 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.

12645
12646 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
12647 [Eric A. Young]
12648
12649 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
12650 [Eric A. Young]
12651
12652 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
12653 [Eric A. Young]
12654
12655 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12656 [Eric A. Young]
12657
12658 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
12659 [Eric A. Young]
12660
12661 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
12662 [Eric A. Young]
12663
12664 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12665 [Eric A. Young]
12666
12667 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
12668 [Eric A. Young]
12669
12670 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
12671 [Eric A. Young]
12672
12673 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
12674 [Eric A. Young]
12675
12676 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
12677 [Eric A. Young]
12678
12679 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12680 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12681 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12682 [Eric A. Young]
12683
12684 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12685 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12686 [Eric A. Young]
12687
12688 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
12689 [Eric A. Young]
12690
12691 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
12692 [Eric A. Young]
12693

12705 bytes sent in the client random.
12706 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
12707
