5 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
8 [Rich Salz]
9
10 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
11 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
12 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
13 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
14 name and is used as is.
15 [Richard Levitte]
16
17 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
18 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
19 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
20 [Rich Salz]
21
22 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
23 the "no-shared" Configure option.
24 [Matt Caswell]
25
26 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
27 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
28 algorithms.
29 [Matt Caswell]
30
31 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
32 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
33 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
34 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
35 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
36 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
37 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
38 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
39 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
40 [Matt Caswell]
41
42 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
43 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
44 enabled with '--debug' builds.
45 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
46
47 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
48 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
49 these have been added.
50 [Matt Caswell]
51
52 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
53 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
54 functions for managing these have been added.
55 [Richard Levitte]
56
57 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
58 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
59 these have been added.
60 [Matt Caswell]
61
62 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
63 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
64 have been added.
65 [Matt Caswell]
66
67 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
68 [Matt Caswell]
69
70 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
71 [Richard Levitte]
72
73 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
74 it is always safe to #include a header now.
75 [Rich Salz]
76
77 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
78 [Richard Levitte]
79
80 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
81 [Rich Salz]
82
83 *) Add support for HKDF.
84 [Alessandro Ghedini]
85
86 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
87 [Bill Cox]
88
89 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
90 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
91 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
92 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
93 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
94 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
95 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
96 [Matt Caswell]
97
98 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
99 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
100 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
101 [Catriona Lucey]
102
103 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
104 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
105 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
106 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
107 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
108 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
109 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
110
111 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
112 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
113 [Todd Short]
114
115 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
116 [Todd Short]
117
118 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
119 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
120 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
121 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
122 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
123 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
124 default cipherlist.
125 [Emilia Käsper]
126
127 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
128 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
129 [Rich Salz]
130
131 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
132 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
133 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
134 [Matt Caswell]
135
136 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
137 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
138 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
139 implemented by other servers.
140 [Emilia Käsper]
141
142 *) Add X25519 support.
143 Integrate support for X25519 into EC library. This includes support
144 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
145 draft-josefsson-pkix-newcurves-01: specifically X25519 uses the
146 OID from that draft, encodes public keys using little endian
147 format in the ECPoint structure and private keys using
148 little endian form in the privateKey field of the ECPrivateKey
149 structure. TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-06
150 and uses X25519(29).
151
152 Note: the current version supports key generation, public and
153 private key encoding and ECDH key agreement using the EC API.
154 Low level point operations such as EC_POINT_add(), EC_POINT_mul()
155 are NOT supported.
156 [Steve Henson]
157
158 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
159 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
160 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
161 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
162 seed, even if the seed is configured.
163
164 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
165 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
166 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
167 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
168 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
169 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
170 that of a valid user.
171 [Emilia Käsper]
172
173 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
174 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
175 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
176 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
177
178 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
179 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
180
181 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
182 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
183 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
184 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
185
186 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
187 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
188 irrelevant.
189 [Richard Levitte]
190
191 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
192 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
193 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
194 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
195 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
196 of how OpenSSL was configured.
197
198 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
199 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
200 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
201 [Richard Levitte]
202
203 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
204 [Rich Salz]
205
206 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
207 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
208 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
209 removed.
210 [Richard Levitte]
211
212 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
213 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
214 old #define's might need to be updated.
215 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
216
217 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
218 [Rich Salz]
219
220 *) New "unified" build system
221
222 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
223 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
224
225 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
226 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
227 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
228
229 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
230 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
231 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
232 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
233 descrip.mms.tmpl.
234
235 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
236 [Richard Levitte]
237
238 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
239 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
240 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
241 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
242 [Matt Caswell]
243
244 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
245 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
246
247 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
248 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
249 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
250 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
251 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
252 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
253 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
254 have been adapted accordingly.
255 [Richard Levitte]
256
257 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
258 the leading 0-byte.
259 [Emilia Käsper]
260
261 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
262 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
263 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
264 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
265 [Emilia Käsper]
266
267 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
268 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
269 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
270 'unsigned char*'.
271 [Emilia Käsper]
272
273 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
274 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
275 [Emilia Käsper]
276
277 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
278 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
279 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
280 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
281 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
282 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
283 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
284
285 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
286 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
287
288 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
289 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
290 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
291 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
292 Text::Template.
293
294 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
295 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
296 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
297 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
298 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
299 %target).
300 [Richard Levitte]
301
302 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
303 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
304 straightforward and less interdependent.
305
306 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
307 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
308 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
309
310 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
311 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
312 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
313 installed.
314 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
315 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
316 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
317 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
318
319 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
320 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
321 [Richard Levitte]
322
323 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
324 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
325 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
326 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
327 is present).
328 [Matt Caswell]
329
330 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
331 configuring.
332 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
333
334 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
335 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
336 before trying to build now.*
337 [Rich Salz]
338
339 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
340 has changed.
341 [Rich Salz]
342
343 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
344
345 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
346 the application's responsibility. The application provides
347 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
348 used to authenticate the peer.
349
350 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
351 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
352 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
353 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
354 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
355 [Viktor Dukhovni]
356
357 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
358 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
359 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
360 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
361 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
362 or the 1.1.0 releases.
363
364 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
365 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
366 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
367 support for the deprecated features from the library and
368 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
369 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
370 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
371 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
372 version.
373
374 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
375 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
376 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
377 compile with later releases.
378
379 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
380 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
381 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
382 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
383 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
384 [Viktor Dukhovni]
385
386 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
387 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
388 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
389 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
390 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
391 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
392 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
393 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
394 [Kurt Roeckx]
395
396 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
397 [Andy Polyakov]
398
399 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
400 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
401 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
402 ECDSA_SIG format.
403
404 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
405 include the ec.h header file instead.
406 [Steve Henson]
407
408 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
409 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
410 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
411 [Kurt Roeckx]
412
413 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
414 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
415 were added:
416
417 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
418 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
419
420 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
421 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
422 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
423
424 Additional changes:
425 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
426 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
427 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
428 an already created structure.
429 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
430 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
431 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
432 for deprecated builds.
433 [Richard Levitte]
434
435 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
436 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
437 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
438 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
439 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
440 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
441 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
442 [Matt Caswell]
443
444 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
445 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
446 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
447 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
448 [Kurt Roeckx]
449
450 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
451 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
452 [Kurt Roeckx]
453
454 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
455 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
456 [Kurt Roeckx]
457
458 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
459 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
460 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
461 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
462 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
463 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
464 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
465 also been removed.
466 [Matt Caswell]
467
468 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
469 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
470 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
471 [Rich Salz]
472
473 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
474 [Rich Salz]
475
476 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
477 sureware and ubsec.
478 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
479
480 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
481
482 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
483 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
484
485 FOO *x;
486
487 it must be:
488
489 FOO x;
490
491 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
492 set a mandatory field to NULL.
493
494 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
495 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
496 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
497 SEQUENCE OF.
498 [Steve Henson]
499
500 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
501 [Emilia Käsper]
502
503 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
504 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
505 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
506 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
507 [Matt Caswell]
508
509 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
510 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
511 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
512 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
513 [Emilia Käsper]
514
515 *) Fix no-stdio build.
516 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
517 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
518
519 *) New testing framework
520 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
521 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
522 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
523 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
524 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
525 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
526

532 [Richard Levitte]
533
534 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
535 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
536 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
537 and others were changed. All are now documented.
538 [Rich Salz]
539
540 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
541 return an error
542 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
543
544 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
545 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
546
547 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
548 original RSA_PSK patch.
549 [Steve Henson]
550
551 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
552 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
553 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
554 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
555 [Matt Caswell]
556
557 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
558 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
559 [Richard Levitte]
560
561 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
562 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
563 hasn't been working properly for a while.
564 [Emilia Käsper]
565
566 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
567 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
568 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
569 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
570 transferred.
571 [Matt Caswell]
572
573 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
574 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
575 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
576 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
577 [Matt Caswell]
578
579 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
580 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
581 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
582 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
583 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
584 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
585 [Matt Caswell]
586
587 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
588 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
589 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
590 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
591 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
592 header file has been removed.
593 [Matt Caswell]
594
595 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
596 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
597 [Matt Caswell]
598
599 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
600 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
601 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
602
603 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
604 Added a test.
605 [Rich Salz]
606
607 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
608 [Rich Salz]
609
610 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
611 sha256
612 [Rich Salz]
613
614 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
615 [Matt Caswell]
616
617 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
618 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
619 initial patch which was a great help during development.
620 [Steve Henson]
621
622 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
623 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
624 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
625 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
626 [Matt Caswell]
627
628 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
629 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
630 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
631 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
632 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
633 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
634 [Matt Caswell]
635
636 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
637 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
638 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
639 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
640 [Matt Caswell]
641
642 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
643 compatible client hello.
644 [Kurt Roeckx]
645
646 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
647 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
648 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
649
650 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
651 [Rich Salz]
652
653 *) Removed old DES API.
654 [Rich Salz]
655
656 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
657 Sony NEWS4
658 BEOS and BEOS_R5
659 NeXT
660 SUNOS
661 MPE/iX
662 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
663 DGUX
664 NCR
665 Tandem
666 Cray
667 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
668 [Rich Salz]
669
670 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
671 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
672 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
673 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
674 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
675 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
676 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
677 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
678 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
679 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
680 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
681 [Rich Salz]
682
683 *) Cleaned up dead code
684 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
685 [Rich Salz]
686
687 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
688 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
689 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
690 [Rich Salz]
691
692 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
693 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
694 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
695 [Rich Salz]
696
697 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
698 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
699 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
700
701 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
702 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
703 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
704
705 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
706 compilation flags.
707 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
708
709 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
710 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
711 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
712
713 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
714 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
715
716 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
717 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
718 server.
719
720 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
721 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
722 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
723 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
724
725 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
726 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
727 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
728 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
729
730 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
731 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
732 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
733
734 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
735 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
736 [Steve Henson]
737
738 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
739
740 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
741 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
742
743 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
744 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
745
746 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
747 effect.
748
749 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
750
751 [Steve Henson]
752
753 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
754 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
755 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
756 algorithms and include tests cases.
757 [Steve Henson]
758
759 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
760 enveloped data.
761 [Steve Henson]
762
763 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
764 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
765 [Steve Henson]
766
767 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
768 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
769
770 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
771 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
772 [Steve Henson]
773
774 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
775 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
776 failures.
777 [Steve Henson]
778
779 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
780 sign or verify all in one operation.
781 [Steve Henson]
782
783 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
784 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
785 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
786 [Steve Henson]
787
788 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
789 [Steve Henson]
790
791 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
792 [Steve Henson]
793
794 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
795 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
796 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
797 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
798 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
799 [Steve Henson]
800
801 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
802 based on NID.
803 [Steve Henson]
804
805 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
806 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
807 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
808 [Steve Henson]
809
810 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
811 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
812 [Steve Henson]
813
814 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
815 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
816
817 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
818 POST to handle HMAC cases.
819 [Steve Henson]
820
821 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
822 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
823 [Steve Henson]
824
825 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
826 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
827 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
828 [Steve Henson]
829
830 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
831 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
832 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
833 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
834 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
835 requested amount of entropy.
836 [Steve Henson]
837
838 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
839 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
840 [Steve Henson]
841
842 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
843 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
844 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
845 support.
846 [Steve Henson]
847
848 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
849 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
850 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
851 [Steve Henson]
852
853 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
854 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
855 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
856 will never use XTS mode.
857 [Steve Henson]
858
859 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
860 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
861 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
862 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
863 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
864 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
865 [Steve Henson]
866
867 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
868 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
869 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
870 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
871 [Steve Henson]
872
873 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
874 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
875 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
876 [Steve Henson]
877
878 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
879 [Steve Henson]
880
881 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
882 [Steve Henson]
883
884 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
885 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
886 [Steve Henson]
887
888 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
889 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
890 [Steve Henson]
891
892 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
893 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
894 [Steve Henson]
895
896 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
897 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
898 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
899 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
900 and rename any affected symbols.
901 [Steve Henson]
902
903 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
904 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
905 [Steve Henson]
906
907 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
908 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
909 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
910 [Steve Henson]
911
912 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
913 [Steve Henson]
914
915 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
916 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
917 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
918 [Steve Henson]
919
920 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
921 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
922 [Steve Henson]
923
924 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
925 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
926 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
927 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
928 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
929 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
930 set before the key.
931 [Steve Henson]
932
933 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
934 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
935 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
936 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
937 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
938 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
939 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
940 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
941 [Steve Henson]
942
943 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
944 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
945 [Steve Henson]
946
947 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
948
949 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
950 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
951
952 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
953 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
954 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
955 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
956 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
957 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
958
959 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
960 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
961 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
962 security.
963 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
964
965 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
966 parameters by name.
967 [Steve Henson]
968
969 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
970 Add CMAC pkey methods.
971 [Steve Henson]
972
973 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
974 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
975 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
976 [Steve Henson]
977
978 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
979 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
980 multi-process servers.
981 [Steve Henson]
982
983 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
984 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
985 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
986 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
987 RAND_METHOD structure.
988 [Steve Henson]
989
990 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
991 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
992 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
993 whose return value is often ignored.
994 [Steve Henson]
995
996 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
997 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
998 validated when establishing a connection.

1001 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1002
1003 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1004
1005 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1006 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1007 AES-NI.
1008
1009 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1010 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1011 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1012 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1013 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1014 bytes.
1015
1016 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1017 (CVE-2016-2107)
1018 [Kurt Roeckx]
1019
1020 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1021
1022 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1023 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1024 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1025 corruption.
1026
1027 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1028 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1029 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1030 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1031 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1032 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1033
1034 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1035 (CVE-2016-2105)
1036 [Matt Caswell]
1037
1038 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1039
1040 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1041 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1042 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1043 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1044 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1045 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1046 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1047 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1048 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1049 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1050 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1051 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1052 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1053 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1054 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1055 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

1059 [Matt Caswell]
1060
1061 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1062
1063 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1064 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1065 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1066
1067 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1068 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1069 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1070 applications are not affected.

1074 [Stephen Henson]
1075
1076 *) EBCDIC overread
1077
1078 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1079 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1080 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

1098 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1099
1100 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1101 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1102 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1103 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1104
1105 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1106 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1107 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1108 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1109 will need to explicitly call either of:
1110
1111 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1112 or
1113 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1114
1115 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1116 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1117 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1118 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1119 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

1121 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1122
1123 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1124
1125 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1126 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1127 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1128 considered rare.
1129
1130 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1131 libFuzzer.
1132 (CVE-2016-0705)
1133 [Stephen Henson]
1134
1135 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1136
1137 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1138
1139 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1140 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1141 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1142 is configured.
1143
1144 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1145 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1146 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1147 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1148 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1149 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1150 that of a valid user.
1151 (CVE-2016-0798)
1152 [Emilia Käsper]
1153
1154 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1155
1156 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1157 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1158 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1159 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1160 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1161 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1162 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1163 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1164 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1165 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1166 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1167
1168 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1169 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1170 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1171 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1172 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1173
1174 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1175 (CVE-2016-0797)
1176 [Matt Caswell]
1177
1178 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1179
1180 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1181 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1182 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1183
1184 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1185 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1186 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1187 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1188 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1189 also occur.
1190
1191 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1192 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1193 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1194 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1195 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1196 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1197 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1198 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1199 as command line arguments.
1200
1201 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1202 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1203 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1204
1205 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.

1207 [Matt Caswell]
1208
1209 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1210
1211 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1212 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1213 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1214 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1215 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1216
1217 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1218 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

1225 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1226 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1227 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
1228 [Emilia Käsper]
1229
1230 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1231 *) DH small subgroups
1232
1233 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1234 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1235 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1236 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1237 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1238 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1239 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1240 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1241 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1242 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1243
1244 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1245 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1246 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1247 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1248 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1249
1250 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1251 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1252 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1253 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1254
1255 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1256 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1257
1258 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

1261
1262 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1263
1264 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1265 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1266 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1267 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1275
1276 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1277
1278 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1279 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1280 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1281 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1282 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1283 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1284 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1285 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1286 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1287 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1288 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1289 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1296
1297 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1298 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1299 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1300 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1301 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1302 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1303 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1334 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1335
1336 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1337 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1338 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1339 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1340 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1341 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1357
1358 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1359 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1360 field.
1361
1362 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1363 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1364 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1365 client authentication enabled.

1372
1373 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1374 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1375 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1376 time string.
1377
1378 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1379 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1380 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1381 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1382 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1383 callbacks.

1438 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1439
1440 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1441
1442 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1443 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1444 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1445 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1446 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1447 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1448 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1449 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1450
1451 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1452 (CVE-2015-0290)
1453 [Matt Caswell]
1454
1455 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1456
1457 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1458 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1459 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1460 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1461 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1462 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1463 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1464 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1465 server.

1472
1473 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1474 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1475 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1476 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1477 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1478 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1483
1484 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer

1486 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1487 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any

1497
1498 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1499 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1500 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1501
1502 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY

1514
1515 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or

1526 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1527 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1528
1529 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1530 (OpenSSL development team).
1531 (CVE-2015-0293)
1532 [Emilia Käsper]
1533
1534 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1535
1536 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1537 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1538 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1539 (CVE-2015-1787)
1540 [Matt Caswell]
1541
1542 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1543
1544 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1545 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1546 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1547 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1548 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1549 SSL_client_methodv23)
1550 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1551 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1552
1553 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1554 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1555 output may be predictable.
1556
1557 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1558 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1559
1560 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1561 (CVE-2015-0285)
1562 [Matt Caswell]
1563
1564 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1565
1566 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1567 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1568 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1569 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1570 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1571 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1572
1573 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1574 commit 517073cd4b.
1575 (CVE-2015-0209)
1576 [Matt Caswell]
1577
1578 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1579
1580 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1581 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1582
1583 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1584 (CVE-2015-0288)
1585 [Stephen Henson]
1586
1587 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1588 [Kurt Roeckx]
1589
1590 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1591
1592 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1593 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1594 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1595 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1596 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1597 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1598 [Andy Polyakov]
1599
1600 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1601 (other platforms pending).
1602 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1603
1604 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1605 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1606 [Rob Stradling]
1607
1608 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1609 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1610 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1611 [Bodo Moeller]
1612
1613 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1614 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1615 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1616 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1617 [Andy Polyakov]
1618
1619 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1620 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1621
1622 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1623 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1624 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1625 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1626 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1627
1628 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1629 [Andy Polyakov]
1630
1631 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1632 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1633 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1634 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1635
1636 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1637 RSAZ.
1638 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1639
1640 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1641 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1642 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1643 for TLS encrypt.
1644
1645 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1646 [Andy Polyakov]
1647
1648 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1649 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1650 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1651 [Steve Henson]
1652
1653 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1654 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1655 [Steve Henson]
1656
1657 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1658 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1659 [Steve Henson]
1660
1661 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1662 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1663 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1664 algorithms and include tests cases.
1665 [Steve Henson]
1666
1667 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1668 structure.
1669 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1670
1671 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1672 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1673 [Steve Henson]
1674
1675 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1676 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1677 summary of the connection parameters.
1678 [Steve Henson]
1679
1680 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1681 of connection parameters.
1682 [Steve Henson]
1683
1684 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1685 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1686
1687 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1688 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1689 [Steve Henson]
1690
1691 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1692 [Steve Henson]
1693
1694 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1695 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1696 [Steve Henson]
1697
1698 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1699 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1700 [Steve Henson]
1701
1702 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1703 certificates.
1704 [Steve Henson]
1705
1706 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1707 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1708 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1709 [Steve Henson]
1710
1711 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1712 [Steve Henson]
1713
1714 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1715 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1716 [Steve Henson]
1717
1718 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1719 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1720 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1721 tracing.
1722 [Steve Henson]
1723
1724 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1725 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1726 [Steve Henson]
1727
1728 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1729 OID NID.
1730 [Steve Henson]
1731
1732 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1733 client to OpenSSL.
1734 [Steve Henson]
1735
1736 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1737 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1738 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1739 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1740 [Steve Henson]
1741
1742 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1743 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1744 [Steve Henson]
1745
1746 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1747 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1748 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1749 comparison.
1750 [Steve Henson]
1751
1752 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1753 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1754 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1755 use the certificate.
1756 [Steve Henson]
1757
1758 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1759 [Steve Henson]
1760
1761 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1762 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1763 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
1764 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1765 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1766 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1767 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1768
1769 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1770 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1771
1772 [Steve Henson]
1773
1774 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1775 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1776 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1777 [Steve Henson]
1778
1779 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1780 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1781 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1782 supported signature algorithms.
1783 [Steve Henson]
1784
1785 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1786 [Steve Henson]
1787
1788 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1789 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1790 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1791 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1792 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1793 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1794 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1795 [Steve Henson]
1796
1797 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1798 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1799 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1800 to have similar checks in it.
1801
1802 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1803 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1804 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1805 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1806 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1807 [Steve Henson]
1808
1809 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1810 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1811 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1812 shared signature algorithms.
1813 [Steve Henson]
1814
1815 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1816 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1817 to support them.
1818 [Steve Henson]
1819
1820 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1821 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1822 it couldn't be removed.
1823 [Steve Henson]
1824
1825 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1826 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
1827 [Steve Henson]
1828
1829 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1830 functions. Add manual page.
1831 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1832
1833 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1834 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1835 a certificate.
1836 [Steve Henson]
1837
1838 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1839 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1840
1841 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1842 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1843 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1844 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1845 utility) or reject.
1846 [Steve Henson]
1847
1848 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1849 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1850 [Steve Henson]
1851
1852 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1853 platform support for Linux and Android.
1854 [Andy Polyakov]
1855
1856 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1857 [Andy Polyakov]
1858
1859 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1860 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1861 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1862 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1863 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1864 [Steve Henson]
1865
1866 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1867 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1868 the new parameter format automatically.
1869 [Steve Henson]
1870
1871 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1872 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1873 [Steve Henson]
1874
1875 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1876 [Steve Henson]
1877
1878 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1879 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1880 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1881 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1882 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1883 [Steve Henson]
1884
1885 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1886 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1887 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1888 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1889 to set list of supported curves.
1890 [Steve Henson]
1891
1892 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1893 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1894 to print out received values.
1895 [Steve Henson]
1896
1897 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1898 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1899 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1900 [Steve Henson]
1901
1902 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1903 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1904 [Steve Henson]
1905
1906 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1907 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1908 [Steve Henson]
1909
1910 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1911 certificates.
1912 [Steve Henson]
1913
1914 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1915 the certificate.
1916 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1917 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1918 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1919
1920 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1921
1922 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1923 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1924
1925 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1926
1927 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1928 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1929 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1930 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1931 (CVE-2014-3571)
1932 [Steve Henson]
1933
1934 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1935 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1936 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1937 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1938 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1939 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1940 (CVE-2015-0206)
1941 [Matt Caswell]
1942
1943 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1944 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1945 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1946 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1947 (CVE-2014-3569)
1948 [Kurt Roeckx]
1949
1950 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1951 ECDH ciphersuites.
1952
1953 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1954 reporting this issue.
1955 (CVE-2014-3572)
1956 [Steve Henson]
1957
1958 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1959 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1960 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1961 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1962 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1963 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1964 (CVE-2015-0204)
1965 [Steve Henson]
1966
1967 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1968 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1969 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1970 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1971 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1972 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1973 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1974 this issue.
1975 (CVE-2015-0205)
1976 [Steve Henson]
1977
1978 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1979 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1980
1981 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1982 and can vary with the CTX.
1983 [Adam Langley]
1984
1985 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1986
1987 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1988 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1989 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1990 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1991 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1992
1993 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1994
1995 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1996 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1997
1998 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1999
2000 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2001 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2002 errors for some broken certificates.
2003
2004 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2005
2006 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2007
2008 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2009 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2010
2011 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2012 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2013 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2014 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2015
2016 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2017 of the OpenSSL core team.
2018
2019 (CVE-2014-8275)
2020 [Steve Henson]
2021
2022 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2023 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2024 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2025 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2026 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2027 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2028 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2029 the OpenSSL core team.
2030 (CVE-2014-3570)
2031 [Andy Polyakov]
2032
2033 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2034 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2035 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2036 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2037 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2038
2039 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2040 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2041 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2042 [Emilia Käsper]
2043
2044 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2045 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2046 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2047 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2048 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2049
2050 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2051 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2052 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2053 [Emilia Käsper]
2054
2055 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2056
2057 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2058
2059 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2060 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2061 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2062 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2063 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2064 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2065 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2066
2067 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2068 (CVE-2014-3513)
2069 [OpenSSL team]
2070
2071 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2072
2073 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2074 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2075 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2076 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2077 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2078 attack.
2079 (CVE-2014-3567)
2080 [Steve Henson]
2081
2082 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2083
2084 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2085 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2086 configured to send them.
2087 (CVE-2014-3568)
2088 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2089
2090 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2091 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2092 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2093 (CVE-2014-3566)
2094 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2095
2096 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2097
2098 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2099 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2100 DigestInfo structures.
2101
2102 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2103
2104 [Steve Henson]
2105
2106 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2107
2108 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2109 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2110 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2111
2112 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2113 Group for discovering this issue.
2114 (CVE-2014-3512)
2115 [Steve Henson]
2116
2117 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2118 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2119 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2120 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2121 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2122
2123 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2124 researching this issue.
2125 (CVE-2014-3511)
2126 [David Benjamin]
2127
2128 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2129 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2130 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2131 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2132
2133 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2134 issue.
2135 (CVE-2014-3510)
2136 [Emilia Käsper]
2137
2138 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2139 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2140 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2141 (CVE-2014-3507)
2142 [Adam Langley]
2143
2144 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2145 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2146 Denial of Service attack.
2147 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2148 (CVE-2014-3506)
2149 [Adam Langley]
2150
2151 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2152 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2153 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2154 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2155 this issue.
2156 (CVE-2014-3505)
2157 [Adam Langley]
2158
2159 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2160 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2161 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2162
2163 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2164 issue.
2165 (CVE-2014-3509)
2166 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2167
2168 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2169 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2170 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2171 Denial of Service attack.
2172
2173 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2174 discovering and researching this issue.
2175 (CVE-2014-5139)
2176 [Steve Henson]
2177
2178 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2179 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2180 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2181 output to the attacker.
2182
2183 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2184 (CVE-2014-3508)
2185 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2186
2187 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2188 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2189 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2190 [Bodo Moeller]
2191
2192 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2193
2194 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2195 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2196 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2197
2198 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2199 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2200 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2201
2202 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2203 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2204 in a DoS attack.
2205
2206 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2207 (CVE-2014-0221)
2208 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2209
2210 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2211 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2212 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2213 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2214
2215 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2216 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2217
2218 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2219 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2220
2221 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2222 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2223 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2226 compilation flags.
2227 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2228
2229 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2230 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2231 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2232
2233 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2234 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2235
2236 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2237
2238 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2239 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2240 server.
2241
2242 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2243 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2244 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2245 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2246
2247 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2248 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2249 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2250 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2251
2252 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2253 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2254 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2255
2256 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2257
2258 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2259 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2260 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2261 is at least 512 bytes long.
2262
2263 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2264
2265 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2266
2267 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2268 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2269 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2270 (CVE-2013-4353)
2271
2272 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2273 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2274 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2275 [Steve Henson]
2276
2277 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2278 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2279 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2280 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2281 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2282 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2283 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2284
2285 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2286
2287 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2288 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2289 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2290
2291 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2292
2293 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2294
2295 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2296 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2297 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2298
2299 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2300 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2301 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2302 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2303 (CVE-2013-0169)
2304 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2305
2306 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2307 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2308 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2309 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2310 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2311 (CVE-2012-2686)
2312 [Adam Langley]
2313
2314 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2315 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2316 [Steve Henson]
2317
2318 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2319 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2320
2321 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2322 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2323 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2324 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2325 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2326
2327 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2328 [Steve Henson]
2329
2330 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2331 if renegotiating.
2332 [Steve Henson]
2333
2334 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2335
2336 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2337 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2338
2339 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2340 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2341 (CVE-2012-2333)
2342 [Steve Henson]
2343
2344 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2345 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2346 [Steve Henson]
2347
2348 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2349 approved.
2350 [Steve Henson]
2351
2352 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2353
2354 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2355 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2356 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2357 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2358 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2359 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2360 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2361 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2362 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2363 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2364 [Steve Henson]
2365
2366 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2367 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2368 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2369 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2370 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2371 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2372 client side.
2373 [Andy Polyakov]
2374
2375 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2376
2377 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2378 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2379 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2380
2381 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2382 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2383 (CVE-2012-2110)
2384 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2385
2386 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2387 [Adam Langley]
2388
2389 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2390 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2391
2392 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2393 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2394 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2395 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2396 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2397 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2398 Most broken servers should now work.
2399 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2400 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2401 [Steve Henson]
2402
2403 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2404 [Andy Polyakov]
2405
2406 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2407
2408 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2409 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2410 [Steve Henson]
2411
2412 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2413 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2414 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2415 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2416 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2417 [Steve Henson]
2418
2419 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2420 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2421 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2422 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2423 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2424 [Steve Henson]
2425
2426 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2427 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2428
2429 *) Add support for SCTP.
2430 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2431
2432 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2433 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2434
2435 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2436
2437 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2438 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2439 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2440 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2441 - s390x: z196 support;
2442 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2443
2444 [Andy Polyakov]
2445
2446 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2447 (removal of unnecessary code)
2448 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2449
2450 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2451 [Eric Rescorla]
2452
2453 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2454 [Eric Rescorla]
2455
2456 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2457 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2458 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2459 by Google.
2460 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2461
2462 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2463 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2464 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2465 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2466 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2467
2468 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2469 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2470 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2471
2472 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2473 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2474 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2475
2476 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2477 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2478 implementations).
2479 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2480
2481 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2482 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2483 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2484 [Steve Henson]
2485
2486 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2487 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2488 particular PSS.
2489 [Steve Henson]
2490
2491 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2492 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2493 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2494 [Steve Henson]
2495
2496 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2497 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2498 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2499 the appropriate parameters.
2500 [Steve Henson]
2501
2502 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2503 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2504 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2505 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2506 against a number of sample certificates.
2507 [Steve Henson]
2508
2509 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2510 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2511
2512 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2513 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2514
2515 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2516 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2517 parameters r, s.
2518 [Steve Henson]
2519
2520 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2521 RFC3211.
2522 [Steve Henson]
2523
2524 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2525 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2526 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2527 password based CMS).
2528 [Steve Henson]
2529
2530 *) Session-handling fixes:
2531 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2532 but also support Session Tickets.
2533 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2534 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2535 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2536 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2537 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2538 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2539
2540 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2541 [Bodo Moeller]
2542
2543 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2544
2545 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2546 [Andy Polyakov]
2547
2548 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2549 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2550 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2551 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2552 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2553 [Steve Henson]
2554
2555 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2556 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2557 [Steve Henson]
2558
2559 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2560 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2561 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2562 [Steve Henson]
2563
2564 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2565 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2566 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2567 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2568 [Steve Henson]
2569
2570 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2571 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2572 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2573 [Steve Henson]
2574
2575 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2576 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2577
2578 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2579 [Steve Henson]
2580
2581 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2582 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2583 [Steve Henson]
2584
2585 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2586 [Steve Henson]
2587
2588 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2589 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2590 [Steve Henson]
2591
2592 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2593 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2594 [Steve Henson]
2595
2596 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2597 [Steve Henson]
2598
2599 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2600 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2601 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2602 [Steve Henson]
2603
2604 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2605 [Steve Henson]
2606
2607 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2608 [Steve Henson]
2609
2610 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2611 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2612 [Steve Henson]
2613
2614 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2615 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2616 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2617 [Steve Henson]
2618
2619 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2620 [Steve Henson]
2621
2622 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2623 and enable MD5.
2624 [Steve Henson]
2625
2626 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2627 FIPS modules versions.
2628 [Steve Henson]
2629
2630 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2631 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2632 until after the certificate request message is received.
2633 [Steve Henson]
2634
2635 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2636 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2637 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2638 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2639 [Steve Henson]
2640
2641 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2642 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2643 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2644 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2645 [Steve Henson]
2646
2647 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2648 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2649 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2650 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2651 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2652 and version checking.
2653 [Steve Henson]
2654
2655 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2656 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2657 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2658 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2659 [Steve Henson]
2660
2661 *) Add SRP support.
2662 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2663
2664 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2665 [Steve Henson]
2666
2667 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2668 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2669 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2670
2671 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2672 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2673 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2674 [Steve Henson]
2675
2676 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2677 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2678
2679 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2680 a few changes are required:
2681
2682 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2683 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2684 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2685 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2686 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2687 [Steve Henson]
2688
2689 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2690
2691 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2692 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2693 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2694 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2695 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2696 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2697 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2698 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2699 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2700 [Steve Henson]
2701
2702 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2703 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2704 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2705 [Steve Henson]
2706
2707 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2708
2709 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2710 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2711 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2712 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2713 [Antonio Martin]
2714
2715 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2716
2717 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2718 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2719 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2720 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2721 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2722 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2723 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2724 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2725 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2726 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2727 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2728 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2729 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2730
2731 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2732 (CVE-2011-4576)
2733 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2734
2735 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2736 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2737 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2738 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2739
2740 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2741 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2742
2743 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2744 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2745 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2746 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2747
2748 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2749 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2750
2751 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2752 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2753
2754 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2755 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2756
2757 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2758 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2759 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2760
2761 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2762 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2763 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2764
2765 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2766 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2767 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2768 the last update always remained unused).
2769 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2770
2771 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2772 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2773
2774 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2775
2776 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2777 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2778 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2779
2780 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2781 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2782 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2783
2784 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2785 [Bodo Moeller]
2786
2787 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2788 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2789 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2790 [Steve Henson]
2791
2792 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2793 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2794
2795 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2796
2797 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2798
2799 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2800
2801 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2802 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2803
2804 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2805 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2806 ambiguous.
2807 [Steve Henson]
2808
2809 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2810
2811 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2812 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2813 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2814 [Steve Henson]
2815
2816 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2817 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2818 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2819 [Ben Laurie]
2820
2821 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2822
2823 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2824 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2825 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2826 [Steve Henson]
2827
2828 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2829 a DLL.
2830 [Steve Henson]
2831
2832 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2833
2834 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2835 (CVE-2010-1633)
2836 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2837
2838 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2839
2840 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2841 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2842 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2843 [Steve Henson]
2844
2845 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2846 [Steve Henson]
2847
2848 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2849 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2850 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2851
2852 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2853 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2854 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2855 [Steve Henson]
2856
2857 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2858 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2859 [Steve Henson]
2860
2861 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2862 some responders need this.
2863 [Steve Henson]
2864
2865 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2866 correctly.
2867 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2868
2869 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2870 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2871 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2872 [Steve Henson]
2873
2874 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2875 [Steve Henson]
2876
2877 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2878 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2879 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2880 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2881 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2882 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2883 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2884 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2885 [Steve Henson]
2886
2887 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2888 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2889 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2890 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2891
2892 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2893 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2894
2895 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2896 be used on C++.
2897 [Steve Henson]
2898
2899 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2900 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2901 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2902 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2903 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2904 attempting to work them out.
2905 [Steve Henson]
2906
2907 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2908 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2909 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2910 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2911 [Steve Henson]
2912
2913 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2914 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2915 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2916 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2917 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2918 [Steve Henson]
2919
2920 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2921 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2922 you can do:
2923
2924 openssl sha256 foo
2925
2926 as well as:
2927
2928 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2929
2930 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2931
2932 [Steve Henson]
2933
2934 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2935 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2936
2937 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2938 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2939
2940 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2941 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2942 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2943 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2944 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2945 [Steve Henson]
2946
2947 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2948 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2949 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2950 [Steve Henson]
2951
2952 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2953 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2957 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2958
2959 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2960 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2961 [Steve Henson]
2962
2963 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2964 [Ben Laurie]
2965
2966 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2967 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2968 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2969 CONF_VALUE.
2970 [Ben Laurie]
2971
2972 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2973 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2974 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2975 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2976 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2977 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2978 [Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2981 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2982
2983 This work was sponsored by Google.
2984 [Steve Henson]
2985
2986 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2987 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2988 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2989 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2990 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2991 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2992 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by

2996 [Steve Henson]
2997
2998 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2999
3000 This work was sponsored by Google.
3001 [Steve Henson]
3002
3003 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3004 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3005 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3006 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3007
3008 This work was sponsored by Google.
3009 [Steve Henson]
3010
3011 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3012 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3013 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3014 CRL functionality in future.
3015

3017 [Steve Henson]
3018
3019 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3020
3021 This work was sponsored by Google.
3022 [Steve Henson]
3023
3024 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3025 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3026
3027 This work was sponsored by Google.
3028 [Steve Henson]
3029
3030 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3031 and URI types are currently supported.
3032
3033 This work was sponsored by Google.
3034 [Steve Henson]
3035
3036 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3037 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3038 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3039 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3040 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3041 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3042 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3043 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3044
3045 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3046 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3047 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3048
3049 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3050 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3051 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3052 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3053
3054 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3055 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3056 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3057 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3058 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3059 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3060 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3061 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3062 of &errno.)
3063 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3064
3065 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3066 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3067 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3068
3069 This work was sponsored by Google.
3070 [Steve Henson]
3071
3072 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3073 [Ben Laurie]
3074
3075 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3076 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3077 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3078 [Ben Laurie]
3079
3080 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3081 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3082 [Nick Mathewson]
3083
3084 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3085 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3086 [Ben Laurie]
3087
3088 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3089 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3090 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3091 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3092 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3093 content types and variants.
3094 [Steve Henson]
3095
3096 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3097 [Steve Henson]
3098
3099 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3100 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3101 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3102 files from the associated perl scripts.
3103 [Steve Henson]
3104
3105 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3106 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3107 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3108
3109 *) s390x assembler pack.
3110 [Andy Polyakov]
3111
3112 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3113 "family."
3114 [Andy Polyakov]
3115
3116 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3117 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3118 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3119 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3120 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3121 to use. For example, specify an option
3122
3123 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3124
3125 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3126 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3127 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3128 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3129 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3130 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3131
3132 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3133 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3134 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3135 return non-zero for success.
3136
3137 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3138 by using
3139
3140 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3141 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3142
3143 where
3144
3145 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3146 void *arg;
3147
3148 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3149 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3150 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3151 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3152 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3153 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3154 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3155 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3156 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3157
3158 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3159 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3160 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3161 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3162 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3163 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3164
3165 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3166 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3167 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3168 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3169 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3170 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3171
3172 [Bodo Moeller]
3173
3174 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3175 MAC.
3176
3177 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3178
3179 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3180 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3181 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3182 supported.
3183
3184 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3185 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3186 SSL_SESSION.
3187
3188 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3189 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3190 with no application modification.
3191
3192 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3193 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3194
3195 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3196 or server extensions to be examined.
3197
3198 This work was sponsored by Google.
3199 [Steve Henson]
3200
3201 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3202 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3203 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3204
3205 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3206 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3207 ciphersuite support.
3208 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3209
3210 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3211 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3212 to output in BER and PEM format.
3213 [Steve Henson]
3214
3215 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3216 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3217 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3218 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3219 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3220 [Steve Henson]
3221
3222 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3223 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3224 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3225 utility.
3226 [Steve Henson]
3227
3228 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3229 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3230 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3231 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3232 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3233 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3234 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3235 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3236 enabled again.
3237
3238 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3239 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3240 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3241 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3242
3243 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3244 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3245 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3246 the default order.
3247 [Bodo Moeller]
3248
3249 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3250 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3251 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3252 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3253 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3254 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3255 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3256 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3257 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3258
3259 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3260 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3261 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3262 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3263 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3264 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3265 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3266 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3267 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3268 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3269 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3270 kinds of kludges.
3271
3272 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3273 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3274 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3275
3276 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3277 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3278 "CAMELLIA256".
3279 [Bodo Moeller]
3280
3281 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3282 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3283 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3284 [Nils Larsch]
3285
3286 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3287 it yet and it is largely untested.
3288 [Steve Henson]
3289
3290 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3291 [Nils Larsch]
3292
3293 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3294 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3295 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3296 [Steve Henson]
3297
3298 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3299 [Andy Polyakov]
3300
3301 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3302 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3303 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3304 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3305 [Steve Henson]
3306
3307 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3308 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3309 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3310 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3311 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3315 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3316 [Cryptocom]
3317
3318 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3319 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3320 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3321 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3322 [Steve Henson]
3323
3324 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3325 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3326 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3327 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3328 [Steve Henson]
3329
3330 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3331 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3332 [Steve Henson]
3333
3334 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3335 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3336 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3337 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3338 [Steve Henson]
3339
3340 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3341 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3342 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3343 [Steve Henson]
3344
3345 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3346 utility.
3347 [Steve Henson]
3348
3349 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3350 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3351 [Steve Henson]
3352
3353 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3354 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3355 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3356 if necessary.
3357 [Steve Henson]
3358
3359 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3360 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3361 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3362 [Steve Henson]
3363
3364 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3365 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3366 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3367 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3368 [Steve Henson]
3369
3370 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3371 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3372 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3373 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3374 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3375 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3376 [Douglas Stebila]
3377
3378 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3379 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3380 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3381 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3382 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3383
3384 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3385 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3386 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3387 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3388 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3389 protocol).
3390
3391 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3392 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3393 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3394 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3395
3396 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3397 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3398 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3399 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3400 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3401
3402 aECDH - ECDH cert
3403 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3404 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3405
3406 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3407 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3408
3409 [Bodo Moeller]
3410
3411 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3412 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3413 [Steve Henson]
3414
3415 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3416 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3417 [Steve Henson]
3418
3419 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3420 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3421 functional reference processing.
3422 [Steve Henson]
3423
3424 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3425 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3426 process.
3427 [Steve Henson]
3428
3429 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3430 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3431 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3432 [Steve Henson]
3433
3434 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3435 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3436 application to support multiple signers.
3437 [Steve Henson]
3438
3439 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3440 digest MAC.
3441 [Steve Henson]
3442
3443 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3444 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3445 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3446 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3447 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3448 [Steve Henson]
3449
3450 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3451 new API.
3452 [Steve Henson]
3453
3454 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3455 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3456 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3457 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3458 a no op.
3459 [Steve Henson]
3460
3461 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3462 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3463 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3464 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3465 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3466 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3467 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3468 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3469 [Steve Henson]
3470
3471 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3472 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3473 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3474 between digests and public key types.
3475 [Steve Henson]
3476
3477 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3478 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3479 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3480 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3481 [Steve Henson]
3482
3483 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3484 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3485 key ASN1 method.
3486 [Steve Henson]
3487
3488 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3489 [Steve Henson]
3490
3491 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3492 pkeyutl.
3493 [Steve Henson]
3494
3495 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3496 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3497 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3498 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3499 pkey, genpkey.
3500 [Steve Henson]
3501
3502 *) BeOS support.
3503 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3504
3505 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3506 manual pages.
3507 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3508
3509 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3510 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3511 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3512 functionality for RSA.
3513 [Steve Henson]
3514
3515 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3516 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3517 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3518 [Steve Henson]
3519
3520 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3521 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3522 [Steve Henson]
3523
3524 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3525 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3526 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3527 [Steve Henson]
3528
3529 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3530 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3531 [Douglas Stebila]
3532
3533 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3534 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3535 [Steve Henson]
3536
3537 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3538 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3539 type.
3540 [Steve Henson]
3541
3542 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3543 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3544 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3545 structure.
3546 [Steve Henson]
3547
3548 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3549 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3550 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3551 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3552 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3553 of public and private key structures.
3554 [Steve Henson]
3555
3556 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3557 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3558 [Douglas Stebila]
3559
3560 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3561 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3562 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3563
3564 New ciphersuites:
3565 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3566 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3567
3568 New functions:
3569 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3570 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3571 SSL_get_psk_identity
3572 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3573
3574 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3575
3576 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3577 and response verification functionality.
3578 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3579
3580 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3581 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3582 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3583 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3584 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3585 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3586 server_name extension.
3587
3588 New functions (subject to change):
3589
3590 SSL_get_servername()
3591 SSL_get_servername_type()
3592 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3593
3594 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3595
3596 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3597 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3598 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3599 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3600 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3601
3602 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3603
3604 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3605 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3606 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3607 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3608 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3609 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3610 option.
3611
3612 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3613
3614 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3615 [Andy Polyakov]
3616
3617 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3618 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3619 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3620 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3621 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3622 [Andy Polyakov]
3623
3624 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3625 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3626 macro.
3627 [Bodo Moeller]
3628
3629 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3630 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3631 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3632 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3633 [Andy Polyakov]
3634
3635 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3636 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3637 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3638 using the maximum available value.
3639 [Steve Henson]
3640
3641 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3642 in addition to the text details.
3643 [Bodo Moeller]
3644
3645 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3646 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3647 handle several customised structures at all.
3648 [Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3651 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3652 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3653 [Steve Henson]
3654
3655 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3656 [Steve Henson]
3657
3658 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3659 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3660 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3661 [Steve Henson]
3662
3663 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3664 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3665 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3666 [Nils Larsch]
3667
3668 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3669 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3670 all fields.
3671 [Steve Henson]
3672
3673 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3674 [Steve Henson]
3675
3676 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3677 [NTT]
3678
3679 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3680
3681 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3682 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3683 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3684 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3685 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3686 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3687 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3688 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3689
3690 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3691 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3692 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3693
3694 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3695
3696 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3697 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3698
3699 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3700 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3701 [Bodo Moeller]
3702
3703 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3704 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3705 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3706 [Steve Henson]
3707
3708 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3709 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3710 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3711 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3712 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3713 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3714 [Steve Henson]
3715
3716 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3717 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3718 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3719 [Steve Henson]
3720
3721 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3722 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3723 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3724 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3725 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3726 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3727 CVE-2009-4355.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3731 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3732 [Bodo Moeller]
3733
3734 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3735 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3736 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3737 [Steve Henson]
3738
3739 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3740 [Steve Henson]
3741
3742 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3743 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3744 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3745 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3746 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3747 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3748 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3749 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3750 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3751 [Steve Henson]
3752
3753 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3754 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3755 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3756 [Steve Henson]
3757
3758 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3759 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3760 [Steve Henson]
3761
3762 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3763 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3764 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3765 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3766 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3767 know what you are doing.
3768 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3769
3770 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3771 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3772 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3773 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3774 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3775 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3776 the handshake.
3777 [Steve Henson]
3778
3779 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3780 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3781 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3782 correctly.
3783 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3784
3785 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3786 warnings in other configurations.
3787 [Steve Henson]
3788
3789 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3790 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3791 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3792 systems need.
3793 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3794
3795 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3796 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3797 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3798
3799 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3800 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3801 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3802 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3803 [Steve Henson]
3804
3805 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3806 and restored.
3807 [Steve Henson]
3808
3809 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3810 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3811 clash.
3812 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3813
3814 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3815 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3816 other than a simple chain.
3817 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3818
3819 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3820 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3821 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3822 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3823 [Steve Henson]
3824
3825 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3826 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3827 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3828 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3829 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3830 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3831 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3832 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3833 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3834
3835 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3836 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3837 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3838 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3839 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3840 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3841 (CVE-2009-1377)
3842 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3843
3844 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3845 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3846 [Daniel Mentz]
3847
3848 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3849 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3850
3851 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3852 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3853
3854 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3855
3856 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3857 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3858 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3859 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3860 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3861 you're doing.
3862 [Ben Laurie]
3863
3864 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3865
3866 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3867 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3868 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3869 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3870
3871 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3872 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3873 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3874 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3875
3876 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3877 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3878 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3879 [Steve Henson]
3880
3881 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3882 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3883 level.
3884 [Steve Henson]
3885
3886 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3887 to handle some structures.
3888 [Steve Henson]
3889
3890 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3891 for a '\n'
3892 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3893
3894 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3895 [Matthieu Herrb]
3896
3897 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3898 [Steve Henson]
3899
3900 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3901 [Steve Henson]
3902
3903 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3904 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3905 chosen compiler.
3906 [Ben Laurie]
3907
3908 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3909
3910 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3911 (CVE-2008-5077).
3912 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3913
3914 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3915 [Ben Laurie]
3916
3917 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3918 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3919 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3920 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3921
3922 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3923 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3924
3925 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3926 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3927 [Bodo Moeller]
3928
3929 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3930 s_client and s_server.
3931 [Ben Laurie]
3932
3933 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3934 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3935
3936 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3937 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3938
3939 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3940 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3941 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3942 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3943 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3944 [Bodo Moeller]
3945
3946 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3947
3948 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3949 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3950 [PR #1679]
3951
3952 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3953 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3954 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3955
3956 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3957 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3958 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3959 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3960
3961 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3962 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3963
3964 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3965
3966 *) Various precautionary measures:
3967
3968 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3969
3970 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3971 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3972 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3973
3974 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3975 outside the expected range.
3976
3977 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3978 builds.
3979
3980 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3981
3982 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3983 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3984 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3985
3986 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3987 [Steve Henson]
3988
3989 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3990 [Huang Ying]
3991
3992 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3993
3994 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3995 [Steve Henson]
3996
3997 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3998 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3999 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4000
4001 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4002 [Steve Henson]
4003
4004 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
4005 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4006 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
4007 files.
4008 [Steve Henson]
4009
4010 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4011
4012 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4013 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4014 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4015 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4016
4017 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4018 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4019 [Joe Orton]
4020
4021 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4022
4023 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4024 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4025 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4026
4027 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4028
4029 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4030 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4031 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4032 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4033 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4034
4035 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4036 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4037 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4038 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4039 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4040 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4041 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4042
4043 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4044
4045 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4046 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4047 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4048 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4049 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4050
4051 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4052 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4053
4054 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4055 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4056 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4057 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4058 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4059
4060 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4061
4062 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4063 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4064 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4065 sets may exist with different names.
4066 [Steve Henson]
4067
4068 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4069 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4070 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4071 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4072 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4073 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4074 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4075 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4076 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4077 implementation.
4078 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4079
4080 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4081 implemention in the following ways:
4082
4083 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4084 hard coded.
4085
4086 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4087 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4088 ignored for embedded content.
4089
4090 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4091 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4092 [Steve Henson]
4093
4094 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4095 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4096 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4097 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4098
4099 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4100 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4101 [Steve Henson]
4102
4103 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4104 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4105 [Steve Henson]
4106
4107 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4108 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4109 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4110 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4111 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4112 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4113 data.
4114 [Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4117 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4118 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4119
4120 *) Netware support:
4121
4122 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4123 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4124 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4125 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4126 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4127 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4128 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4129 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4130 platform
4131 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4132 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4133 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4134 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4135 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4136 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4137 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4138
4139 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4140 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4141 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4142 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4143 to s_client and s_server.
4144 [Steve Henson]
4145
4146 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4147
4148 *) Fix various bugs:
4149 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4150 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4151 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4152 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4153 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4154
4155 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4156
4157 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4158 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4159 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4160 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4161 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4162 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4163 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4164 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4165 [Andy Polyakov]
4166
4167 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4168 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4169 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4170 Steve Henson]
4171
4172 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4173 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4174 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4175 supported.
4176
4177 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4178 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4179 SSL_SESSION.
4180
4181 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4182 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4183 with no application modification.
4184
4185 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4186 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4187
4188 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4189 or server extensions to be examined.
4190
4191 This work was sponsored by Google.
4192 [Steve Henson]
4193
4194 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4195 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4196 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4197 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4198 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4199 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4200 server_name extension.
4201
4202 New functions (subject to change):
4203
4204 SSL_get_servername()
4205 SSL_get_servername_type()
4206 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4207
4208 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4209
4210 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4211 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4212 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4213 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4214 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4215
4216 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4217
4218 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4219 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4220 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4221 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4222 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4223 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4224 option.
4225
4226 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4227
4228 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4229 [Steve Henson]
4230
4231 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4232 [Andy Polyakov]
4233
4234 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4235 (which previously caused an internal error).
4236 [Bodo Moeller]
4237
4238 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4239 [Ben Laurie]
4240
4241 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4242 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4243
4244 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4245 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4246 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4247
4248 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4249 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4250 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4251 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4252
4253 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4254 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4255 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4256 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4257
4258 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4259 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4260 information. For detailed background information, see
4261 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4262 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4263 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4264 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4265 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4266 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4267 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4268 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4269 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4270 remove a conditional branch.
4271
4272 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4273 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4274 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4275 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4276 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4277 remains as a deprecated alias.
4278
4279 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4280 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4281 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4282 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4283
4284 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4285 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4286 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4287 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4288 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4289 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4290 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4291 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4292
4293 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4294
4295 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4296 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4297 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4298 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4299 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4300 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4301 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4302 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4303 in a different context.
4304 [Bodo Moeller]
4305
4306 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4307 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4308 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4309 [Bodo Moeller]
4310
4311 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4312 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4313 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4314
4315 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4316
4317 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4318 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4319 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4320 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4321 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4322 [Victor Duchovni]
4323
4324 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4325 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4326 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4327 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4328 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4329 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4330 [Bodo Moeller]
4331
4332 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4333 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4334 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4335 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4336 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4337 [Bodo Moeller]
4338
4339 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4340 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4341
4342 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4343 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4344 Improve header file function name parsing.
4345 [Steve Henson]
4346
4347 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4348 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4349 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4350
4351 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4352
4353 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4354 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4355 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4356
4357 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4358 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4361 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4362
4363 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4364 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4365 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4366
4367 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4368 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4369 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4370 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4371 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4372 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4373 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4374 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4375 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4376
4377 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4378 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4379 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4380 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4381 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4382
4383 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4384 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4385 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4386 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4387 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4388 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4389 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4390 multiple values to extend the available space.
4391
4392 [Bodo Moeller]
4393
4394 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4395
4396 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4397 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4398
4399 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4400 [Ben Laurie]
4401
4402 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4403 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4404 undesirable limitations.
4405 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4406
4407 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4408 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4409 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4410 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4411 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4412 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4413 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4414 [Bodo Moeller]
4415
4416 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4417
4418 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4419 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4420 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4421
4422 The latter two were purportedly from
4423 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4424 appear there.
4425
4426 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4427 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4428 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4429 [Bodo Moeller]
4430
4431 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4432 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4433 [Bodo Moeller]
4434
4435 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4436 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4437 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4438 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4439
4440 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4441 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4442 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4443 [NTT]
4444
4445 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4446 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4447 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4448 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4449 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4450 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4451 [Steve Henson]
4452
4453 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4454
4455 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4456 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4457 [Steve Henson]
4458
4459 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4460 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4461
4462 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4463 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4464 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4465 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4466 [Douglas Stebila]
4467
4468 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4469 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4470 [Steve Henson]
4471
4472 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4473 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4474 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4475 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4476 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4477 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4478 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4479 can't be loaded.
4480 [Steve Henson]
4481
4482 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4483 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4484 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4485 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4486 [Steve Henson]
4487
4488 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4489 under VC++ build system.
4490 [Steve Henson]
4491
4492 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4493 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4494 [Richard Levitte]
4495
4496 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4497
4498 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4499 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4500 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4501 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4502 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4503
4504 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4505 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4506 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4507
4508 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4509 [Steve Henson]
4510
4511 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4512 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4513 [Nils Larsch]
4514
4515 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4516 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4517
4518 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4519 [Nick Mathewson]
4520
4521 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4522 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4523
4524 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4525 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4526 [Steve Henson]
4527
4528 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4529 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4530 smime utility.
4531 [Steve Henson]
4532
4533 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4534
4535 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4536 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4537
4538 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4539 [Richard Levitte]
4540
4541 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4542 key into the same file any more.
4543 [Richard Levitte]
4544
4545 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4546 [Andy Polyakov]
4547
4548 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4549 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4550
4551 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4552 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4553 [Richard Levitte]
4554
4555 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4556 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4557 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4558 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4559 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4560 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4561
4562 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4563 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4564 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4565 [Steve Henson]
4566
4567 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4568 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4569 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4570 - add new function for parameter creation
4571 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4572 BN_BLINDING parameters
4573 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4574 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4575 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4576 threads.
4577 [Nils Larsch]
4578
4579 *) Add support for DTLS.
4580 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4581
4582 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4583 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4584 [Walter Goulet]
4585
4586 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4587 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4588 [Nils Larsch]
4589
4590 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4591 the apps/openssl applications.
4592 [Nils Larsch]
4593
4594 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4595 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4596 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4597 [Ben Laurie]
4598
4599 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4600 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4601
4602 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4603 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4604
4605 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4606 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4607 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4608 avoid this algorithm.)
4609
4610 [Bodo Moeller]
4611
4612 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4613 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4614 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4615 [Richard Levitte]
4616
4617 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4618 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4619 [Andy Polyakov]
4620
4621 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4622 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4623 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4624 pod file:
4625
4626 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4627
4628 The blank line is mandatory.
4629
4630 [Steve Henson]
4631
4632 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4633 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4634 sources.
4635 [Steve Henson]
4636
4637 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4638 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4639
4640 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4641 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4642 to support policy checking and print out.
4643 [Steve Henson]
4644
4645 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4646 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4647 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4648 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4649
4650 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4651 [Geoff Thorpe]
4652
4653 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4654 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4655
4656 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4657 implementation contributed by IBM.
4658 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4659
4660 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4661 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4662 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4663 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4664
4665 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4666 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4667
4668 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4669 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4670 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4671 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4672 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4673 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4674 [Steve Henson]
4675
4676 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4677 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4678 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4679 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4680 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4681 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4682 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4683 [Geoff Thorpe]
4684
4685 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4686 [Steve Henson]
4687
4688 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4689 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4690 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4691 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4692 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4693 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4694 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4695 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4696 [Steve Henson]
4697
4698 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4699 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4700 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4701 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4702 [Steve Henson]
4703
4704 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4705 syntax:
4706
4707 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4708 [Steve Henson]
4709
4710 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4711 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4712 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4713 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4714 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4715 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4716 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4717 [Geoff Thorpe]
4718
4719 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4720 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4721 [Geoff Thorpe]
4722
4723 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4724 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4725 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4726 [Steve Henson]
4727
4728 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4729 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4730 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4731 below).
4732 [Geoff Thorpe]
4733
4734 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4735 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4736 [Richard Levitte]
4737
4738 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4739 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4740 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4741 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4742 [Geoff Thorpe]
4743
4744 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4745 initialised value as BN_new().
4746 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4747
4748 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4749 [Steve Henson]
4750
4751 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4752 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4753 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4754 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4755 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4756 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4757 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4758 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4759 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4760 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4761 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4762 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4763 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4764 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4765 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4766
4767 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4768 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4769 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4770 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4771 [Geoff Thorpe]
4772
4773 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4774 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4775 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4776 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4777 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4778 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4779 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4780 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4781 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4782 [Geoff Thorpe]
4783
4784 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4785 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4786 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4787 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4788 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4789 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4790 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4791 [Geoff Thorpe]
4792
4793 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4794 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4795 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4796 these have been updated also.
4797 [Geoff Thorpe]
4798
4799 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4800 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4801 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4802 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4803 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4804 functions.
4805 [Steve Henson]
4806
4807 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4808 structure of type "other".
4809 [Steve Henson]
4810
4811 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4812 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4813 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4814 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4815 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4816 situation in the script.
4817 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4818
4819 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4820 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4821 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4822 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4823 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4824 used as premaster secret.
4825 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4826
4827 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4828 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4829 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4830
4831 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4832 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4833
4834 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4835 control of the error stack.
4836 [Richard Levitte]
4837
4838 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4839 [Richard Levitte]
4840
4841 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4842 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4843 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4844 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4845 [Richard Levitte]
4846
4847 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4848 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4849 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4850 [Richard Levitte]
4851
4852 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4853 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4854 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4855 a memory area.
4856 [Richard Levitte]
4857
4858 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4859 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4860 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4861 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4862 [Richard Levitte]
4863
4864 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4865 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4866 the following flags are defined:
4867
4868 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4869 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4870 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4871 number.
4872
4873 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4874 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4875 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4876 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4877 returns zero.
4878 [Richard Levitte]
4879
4880 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4881 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4882 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4883 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4884 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4885 [Richard Levitte]
4886
4887 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4888 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4889 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4890 [Richard Levitte]
4891
4892 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4893 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4894 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4895 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4896 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4897 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4898 [Richard Levitte]
4899
4900 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4901 req and dirName.
4902 [Steve Henson]
4903
4904 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4905 [Steve Henson]
4906
4907 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4908 [Steve Henson]
4909
4910 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4911 [Steve Henson]
4912
4913 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4914 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4915 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4916 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4917 default implementation more easily.
4918 [Geoff Thorpe]
4919
4920 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4921 in config files.
4922 [Steve Henson]
4923
4924 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4925 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4926 [Richard Levitte]
4927
4928 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4929 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4930 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4931 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4932
4933 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4934 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4935 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4936 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4937 [Steve Henson]
4938
4939 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4940 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4941 to do it.
4942 [Richard Levitte]
4943
4944 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4945 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4946 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4947 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4948 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4949 scalar * generator).
4950 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4951
4952 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4953 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4954 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4955 correctly.
4956 [Steve Henson]
4957
4958 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4959 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4960 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4961 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4962 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4963 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4964 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4965 linker additions, eg;
4966 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4967 [Geoff Thorpe]
4968
4969 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4970 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4971 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4972 [Geoff Thorpe]
4973
4974 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4975 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4976 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4977 via PR#459)
4978 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4979
4980 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4981 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4982 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4983 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4984 [Geoff Thorpe]
4985
4986 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4987 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4988 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4989 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4990 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4991 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4992 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4993 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4994 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4995 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4996
4997 Example for using the new callback interface:
4998
4999 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5000 void *my_arg = ...;
5001 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5002
5003 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5004
5005 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5006 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5007 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5008 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5009 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5010 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5011 */
5012
5013 [Geoff Thorpe]
5014
5015 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5016 available to TLS with the number defined in
5017 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5018 [Richard Levitte]
5019
5020 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5021 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5022
5023 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5024 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5025 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5026 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5027
5028 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5029 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5030
5031 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5032 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5033 well.
5034 [Richard Levitte]
5035
5036 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5037 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5038 [Richard Levitte]
5039
5040 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5041 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5042 and a macro that behave like
5043 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5044
5045 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5046 [Nils Larsch]
5047
5048 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5049 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5050 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5051 if applicable.
5052 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5053
5054 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5055 [Bodo Moeller]
5056
5057 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5058 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5059 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5060 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5061 directory engines/.
5062 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5063 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5064 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5065 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5066 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
5067 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5068 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5069 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5070
5071 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5072 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5073 [Richard Levitte]
5074
5075 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5076 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5077
5078 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5079 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5080 files while avoiding the low level API.
5081
5082 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5083 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5084 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5085 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5086
5087 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5088 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5089 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5090 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5091 instead of the low level API.
5092 [Steve Henson]
5093
5094 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5095 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5096 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5097 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5098 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5099 PKCS#7 code.
5100
5101 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5102 down to the template encoder.
5103 [Steve Henson]
5104
5105 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5106 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5107 [Bodo Moeller]
5108
5109 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5110 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5111 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5112 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5113
5114 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5115 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5116
5117 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5118 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5119
5120 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5121 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5122 [Bodo Moeller]
5123
5124 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5125 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5126 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5127 [Bodo Moeller]
5128
5129 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5130 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5131
5132 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5133 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5134
5135 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5136 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5137 New EC_METHOD:
5138
5139 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5140
5141 New API functions:
5142
5143 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5144 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5145 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5146 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5147 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5148 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5149
5150 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5151 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5152 enable it).
5153
5154 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5155 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5156 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5157 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5158 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5159 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5160 various internal method names.)
5161
5162 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5163 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5164
5165 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5166 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5167
5168 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5169 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5170
5171 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5172 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5173 methods are undefined.
5174
5175 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5176 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5177
5178 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5179 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5180 length of the modulus.
5181
5182 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5183 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5184
5185 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5186 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5187
5188 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5189 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5190
5191 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5192 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5193 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5194
5195 BN_GF2m_add
5196 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5197 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5198 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5199 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5200 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5201 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5202 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5203 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5204 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5205
5206 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5207 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5208
5209 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5210 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5211 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5212 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5213 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5214 where
5215 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5216 This applies to the following functions:
5217
5218 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5219 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5220 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5221 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5222 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5223 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5224 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5225 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5226 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5227 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5228
5229 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5230
5231 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5232 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5233
5234 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5235
5236 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5237 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5238 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5239 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5240 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5241
5242 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5243 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5244
5245 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5246 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5247 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5248
5249 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5250 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5251
5252 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5253 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5254 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5255 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5256 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5257
5258 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5259 functions
5260 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5261 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5262 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5263 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5264 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5265 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5266 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5267 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5268 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5269 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5270 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5271 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5272
5273 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5274 functions
5275 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5276 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5277 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5278 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5279 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5280
5281 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5282 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5283 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5284 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5285
5286 *) Add functions
5287 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5288 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5289 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5290 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5291 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5292 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5293 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5294
5295 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5296 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5297 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5298 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5299 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5300 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5301 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5302 adding different types of curves.
5303 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5304
5305 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5306 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5307 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5308 [Bodo Moeller]
5309
5310 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5311 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5312
5313 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5314 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5315 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5316 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5317
5318 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5319
5320 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5321 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5322
5323 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5324 library. Most notably,
5325 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5326 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5327 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5328 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5329 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5330 extracted before the specific public key;
5331 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5332 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5333
5334 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5335 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5336 function
5337 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5338 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5339 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5340 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5341 accessed via
5342 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5343 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5344 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5345
5346 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5347 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5348 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5349 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5350 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5351 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5352 differing sizes.
5353 [Richard Levitte]
5354
5355 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5356
5357 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5358 sensitive data.
5359 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5360
5361 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5362 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5363 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5364 [Bodo Moeller]
5365
5366 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5367 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5368 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5369 [Victor Duchovni]
5370
5371 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5372 [Steve Henson]
5373
5374 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5375 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5376 [Steve Henson]
5377
5378 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5379 run algorithm test programs.
5380 [Steve Henson]
5381
5382 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5383 [Steve Henson]
5384
5385 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5386 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5387 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5388 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5389 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5390 [Bodo Moeller]
5391
5392 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5393 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5394 [Steve Henson]
5395
5396 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5397
5398 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5399 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5400 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5401
5402 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5403 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5404
5405 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5406 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5407
5408 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5409 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5410 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5411
5412 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5413 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5414 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5415 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5416 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5417 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5418 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5419 [Bodo Moeller]
5420
5421 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5422
5423 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5424 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5425
5426 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5427 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5428 undesirable limitations.
5429 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5430
5431 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5432
5433 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5434 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5435 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5436
5437 The latter two were purportedly from
5438 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5439 appear there.
5440
5441 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5442 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5443 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5444 [Bodo Moeller]
5445
5446 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5447 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5448 [Bodo Moeller]
5449
5450 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5451
5452 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5453 module in FIPS mode.
5454 [Steve Henson]
5455
5456 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5457 [Steve Henson]
5458
5459 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5460 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5461 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5462 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5463 [Steve Henson]
5464
5465 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5466
5467 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5468 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5469 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5470 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5471 the difference induced by this change.
5472 [Andy Polyakov]
5473
5474 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5475
5476 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5477 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5478 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5479 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5480 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5481
5482 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5483 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5484 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5485
5486 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5487 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5488 [Steve Henson]
5489
5490 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5491 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5492 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5493 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5494 biased k.)
5495 [Bodo Moeller]
5496
5497 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5498 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5499 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5500 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5501 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5502
5503 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5504 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5505 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5506 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5507 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5508 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5509
5510 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5511
5512 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5513 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5514 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5515 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5516 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5517 [Bodo Moeller]
5518
5519 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5520 clients need.
5521 [Steve Henson]
5522
5523 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5524 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5525 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5526 [Steve Henson]
5527
5528 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5529 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5530 structures constant.
5531 [Steve Henson]
5532
5533 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5534
5535 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5536 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5537
5538 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5539 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5540 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5541 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5542 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5543 some needed definitions.
5544 [Steve Henson]
5545
5546 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5547 [Ulf Möller]
5548
5549 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5550 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5551 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5552 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5553 [Richard Levitte]
5554
5555 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5556
5557 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5558 server and client random values. Previously
5559 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5560 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5561
5562 This change has negligible security impact because:
5563
5564 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5565 data.
5566
5567 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5568 handshake.
5569
5570 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5571 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5572 values.
5573
5574 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5575 to our attention.
5576
5577 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5578
5579 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5580 [Ulf Möller]
5581
5582 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5583 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5584 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5585
5586 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5587 [Steve Henson]
5588
5589 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5590 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5591 [Andy Polyakov]
5592
5593 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5594 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5595 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5596
5597 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5598 [Steve Henson]
5599
5600 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5601 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
5602 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
5603 certificates.
5604 [Steve Henson]
5605
5606 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5607 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5608 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5609 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5610
5611 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5612 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5613 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5614 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5615 been given)
5616 [Richard Levitte]
5617
5618 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5619
5620 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5621 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5622 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5623 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5624 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5625 [Steve Henson]
5626
5627 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5628 [Steve Henson]
5629
5630 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5631 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5632
5633 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5634 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5635 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5636 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5637 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5638 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5639 rather than being initialized to 1.
5640 [Steve Henson]
5641
5642 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5643
5644 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5645 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5646 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5647
5648 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5649 (CVE-2004-0112)
5650 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5651
5652 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5653 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5654 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5655 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5656 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5657 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5658 [Richard Levitte]
5659
5660 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5661 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5662 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5663 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5664 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5665 for these cases.
5666 [Steve Henson]
5667
5668 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5669 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5670 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5671 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5672 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5673 [Steve Henson]
5674
5675 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5676 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5677 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5678 < 0.9.7.
5679 [Steve Henson]
5680
5681 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5682 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5683
5684 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5685 [Steve Henson]
5686
5687 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5688
5689 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5690
5691 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5692 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5693
5694 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5695
5696 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5697 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5698
5699 [Steve Henson]
5700
5701 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5702 exiting on the first error in a request.
5703 [Steve Henson]
5704
5705 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5706 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5707 specifications.
5708 [Steve Henson]
5709
5710 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5711 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5712 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5713 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5714
5715 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5716 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5717 [Richard Levitte]
5718
5719 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5720 blocks during encryption.
5721 [Richard Levitte]
5722
5723 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5724 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5725 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5726 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5727 certain size.
5728 [Steve Henson]
5729
5730 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5731 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5732 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5733 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5734 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5735 parser.
5736 [Steve Henson]
5737
5738 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5739
5740 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5741 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5742 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5743 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5744 [Bodo Moeller]
5745
5746 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5747 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5748 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5749 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5750 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5751
5752 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5753 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5754 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5755 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5756 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5757 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5758 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5759 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5760 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5761 [Bodo Moeller]
5762
5763 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5764 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5765 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5766 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5767 [Geoff Thorpe]
5768
5769 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5770 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5771 [Ulf Moeller]
5772
5773 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5774
5775 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5776 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5777 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5778 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5779 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5780
5781 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5782 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5783 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5784
5785 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5786 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5787 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5788 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5789 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5790
5791 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5792 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5793 used by default when no-err is given.
5794 [Richard Levitte]
5795
5796 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5797 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5798
5799 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5800 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5801 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5802 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5803 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5804
5805 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5806 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5807 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5808 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5809
5810 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5811
5812 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5813
5814 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5815
5816 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5817 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5818 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5819 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5820 root is omitted).
5821 [Steve Henson]
5822
5823 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5824 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5825
5826 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5827 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5828 [Steve Henson]
5829
5830 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5831 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5832 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5833 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5834 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5835
5836 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5837 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5838 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5839 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5840 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5841 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5842 followup to PR #377.
5843 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5844
5845 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5846 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5847 [Andy Polyakov]
5848
5849 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5850 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5851 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5852 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5853
5854 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5855
5856 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5857 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5858
5859 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5860 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5861 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5862 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5863 client and server.
5864 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5865 PR #377.
5866 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5867
5868 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5869 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5870 removed entirely.
5871 [Richard Levitte]
5872
5873 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5874 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5875 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5876 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5877 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5878 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5879 of libcrypto.
5880 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5881 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5882 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5883 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5884 have to be made anyway).
5885 [Richard Levitte]
5886
5887 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5888 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5889 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5890 [Steve Henson]
5891
5892 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5893 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5894 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5895 [Richard Levitte]
5896
5897 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5898 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5899 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5900
5901 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5902 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5903 edit numbers of the version.
5904 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5905
5906 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5907 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5908 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5909
5910 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5911 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5912
5913 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5914 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5915 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5916
5917 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5918 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5919
5920 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5921 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5922
5923 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5924 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5925
5926 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5927 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5928
5929 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5930 overflows.
5931 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5932
5933 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5934 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5935 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5936
5937 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5938 representations in a platform independent manner.
5939 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5940
5941 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5942 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5943 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5944
5945 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5946 indents.
5947 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5948
5949 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5950 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5951
5952 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5953 full. Fixed.
5954 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5955
5956 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5957 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5958 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5959
5960 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5961 unconditionally).
5962 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5963
5964 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5965 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5966
5967 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5968 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5969
5970 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5971 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5972
5973 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5974 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5975
5976 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5977 CBCParameter.
5978 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5979
5980 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5981 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5982
5983 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5984 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5985
5986 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5987 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5988 exploitable.
5989 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5990
5991 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5992 the 0.9.6 release series:
5993
5994 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5995 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5996 (CVE-2002-0657)
5997 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5998
5999 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6000 [Richard Levitte]
6001
6002 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6003 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6004
6005 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6006 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6007
6008 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6009 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6010 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6011 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6012
6013 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6014 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6015 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6016
6017 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6018 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6019 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6020 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6021
6022 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6023 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6024 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6025 some local tweaks:
6026
6027 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6028 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6029 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6030 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6031 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6032 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6033 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6034 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6035 done
6036
6037 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6038 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6039 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6040 [Richard Levitte]
6041
6042 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6043 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6044 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6045 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6046 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6047
6048 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6049 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6050
6051 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6052 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6053 [Richard Levitte]
6054
6055 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6056 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6057 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6058 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6059 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6060 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6061 [Steve Henson]
6062
6063 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6064 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6065 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6066 [Steve Henson]
6067
6068 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6069 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6070 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6071
6072 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6073 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6074 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6075 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6076 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6077 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6078 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6079 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6080
6081 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6082 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6083 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6084 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6085 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6086 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6087 [Steve Henson]
6088
6089 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6090 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6091 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6092 declaration has been changed from
6093 int (*cb)()
6094 into
6095 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6096 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6097 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6098 has been changed into
6099 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6100
6101 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6102 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6103 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6104
6105 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6106 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6107
6108 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6109 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6110 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6111 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6112 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6113 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6114 always load it have also been added.
6115 [Steve Henson]
6116
6117 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6118 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6119 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6120
6121 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6122
6123 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6124 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6125 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6126
6127 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6128 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6129 command line option can be used to specify an
6130 alternative file.
6131 [Steve Henson]
6132
6133 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6134 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6135 [Steve Henson]
6136
6137 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6138 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6139 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6140 [Steve Henson]
6141
6142 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6143 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6144 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6145 to work with the new engine framework.
6146 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6147
6148 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6149 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6150 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6151 to work with the new engine framework.
6152 [Richard Levitte]
6153
6154 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6155 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6156 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6157
6158 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6159 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6160
6161 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6162 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6163 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6164 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6165 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6166 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6167
6168 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6169 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6170
6171 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6172 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6173
6174 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6175 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6176 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6177 [Ben Laurie]
6178
6179 *) Add new functions
6180 ERR_peek_last_error
6181 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6182 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6183 These are similar to
6184 ERR_peek_error
6185 ERR_peek_error_line
6186 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6187 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6188 still in the error queue.
6189 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6190
6191 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6192 like:
6193 default_algorithms = ALL
6194 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6195 [Steve Henson]
6196
6197 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6198 [Steve Henson]
6199
6200 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6201 [Steve Henson]
6202
6203 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6204 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6205 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6206 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6207
6208 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6209 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6210
6211 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6212 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6213
6214 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6215 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6216 [Bodo Moeller]
6217
6218 *) New functions/macros
6219
6220 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6221 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6222 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6223 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6224
6225 to request calling a callback function
6226
6227 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6228 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6229
6230 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6231 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6232 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6233 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6234 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6235 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6236 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6237 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6238 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6239 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6240
6241 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6242 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6243 [Bodo Moeller]
6244
6245 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6246 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6247 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6248 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6249 the configuration scripts.
6250
6251 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6252 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6253 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6254
6255 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6256 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6257
6258 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6259 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6260 when reusing an existing buffer.
6261 [Bodo Moeller]
6262
6263 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6264 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6265 [Steve Henson]
6266
6267 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6268 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6269 [Ben Laurie]
6270
6271 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6272 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6273 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6274 has the same effect.
6275 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6276
6277 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6278 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6279 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6280 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6281 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6282 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6283 exception.
6284
6285 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6286 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6287 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6288 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6289
6290 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6291 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6292 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6293 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6294
6295 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6296 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6297 won't work.
6298
6299 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6300 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6301 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6302 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6303 default), and then completely removed.
6304 [Richard Levitte]
6305
6306 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6307 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6308 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6309 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6310 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6311 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6312 particular extension is supported.
6313 [Steve Henson]
6314
6315 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6316 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6317 [Steve Henson]
6318
6319 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6320 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6321 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6322 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6323 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6324 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6325 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6326 requires the destination to be valid.
6327
6328 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6329 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6330 [Steve Henson]
6331
6332 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6333 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6334 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6335 [Bodo Moeller]
6336
6337 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6338 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6339
6340 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6341 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6342 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6343 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6344 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6345 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6346 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6347 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6348 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6349 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6350 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6351 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6352 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6353 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6354 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6355 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6356 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6357 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6358 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6359 the new code.
6360 [Geoff Thorpe]
6361
6362 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6363 [Steve Henson]
6364
6365 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6366 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6367 become part of libeay.num as well.
6368 [Richard Levitte]
6369
6370 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6371 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6372 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6373 false once a handshake has been completed.
6374 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6375 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6376 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6377 client has followed the request.)
6378 [Bodo Moeller]
6379
6380 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6381 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6382 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6383 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6384
6385 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6386 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6387 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6388 [Bodo Moeller]
6389
6390 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6391 [Steve Henson]
6392
6393 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6394 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6395 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6396 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6397
6398 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6399 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6400 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6401
6402 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6403 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6404 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6405 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6406 [Geoff Thorpe]
6407
6408 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6409 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6410 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6411 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6412 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6413 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6414 [Geoff Thorpe]
6415
6416 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6417 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6418 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6419 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6420 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6421 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6422 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6423 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6424 [Geoff Thorpe]
6425
6426 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6427 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6428 [Geoff Thorpe]
6429
6430 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6431 [Ben Laurie]
6432
6433 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6434 md_data void pointer.
6435 [Ben Laurie]
6436
6437 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6438 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6439 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6440 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6441 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6442 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6443 [Ben Laurie]
6444
6445 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6446 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6447 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6448 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6449 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6450 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6451 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6452 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6453 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6454 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6455 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6456 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6457 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6458 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6459 rather than letting it slide.
6460
6461 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6462 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6463 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6464 [Geoff Thorpe]
6465
6466 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6467 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6468 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6469 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6470 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6471 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6472 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6473 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6474 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6475 [Geoff Thorpe]
6476
6477 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6478 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6479 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6480 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6481 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6482
6483 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6484 [Geoff Thorpe]
6485
6486 *) Add EVP test program.
6487 [Ben Laurie]
6488
6489 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6490 [Ben Laurie]
6491
6492 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6493 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6494 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6495 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6496 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6497 [Steve Henson]
6498
6499 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6500 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6501 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6502 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6503 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6504 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6505 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6506
6507 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6508 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6509 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6510 Usage example:
6511
6512 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6513
6514 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6515 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6516 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6517 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6518 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6519
6520 [Ben Laurie]
6521
6522 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6523 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6524 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6525 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6526 anyway): E.g.,
6527
6528 des_key_schedule ks;
6529
6530 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6531 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6532
6533 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6534 [Ben Laurie]
6535
6536 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6537 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6538 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6539 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6540 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6541 functions prevents this.
6542 [Steve Henson]
6543
6544 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6545 [Ben Laurie]
6546
6547 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6548 correct _ecb suffix.
6549 [Ben Laurie]
6550
6551 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6552 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6553 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6554 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6555 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6556 [Steve Henson]
6557
6558 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6559 [Richard Levitte]
6560
6561 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6562 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6563 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6564 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6565
6566 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6567 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6568
6569 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6570 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6571 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6572 via Richard Levitte]
6573
6574 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6575 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6576 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6577 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6578 [Geoff Thorpe]
6579
6580 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6581 Before:
6582 encrypt
6583 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6584 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

6596 [Ben Laurie]
6597
6598 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6599 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6600
6601 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6602 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6603 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6604 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6605 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6606 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6607 [Steve Henson]
6608
6609 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6610 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6611 [Richard Levitte]
6612
6613 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6614 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6615 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6616 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6617
6618 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6619 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6620 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6621 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6622 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6623 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6624 callback.
6625 [Richard Levitte]
6626
6627 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6628 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6629 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6630 and interrupts/cancellations.
6631 [Richard Levitte]
6632
6633 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6634 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6635 [Steve Henson]
6636
6637 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6638 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6639 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6640
6641 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6642 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6643 kind of callback.
6644 [Richard Levitte]
6645
6646 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6647 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6648 than this minimum value is recommended.
6649 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6650
6651 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6652 that are easily reachable.
6653 [Richard Levitte]
6654
6655 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6656 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6657
6658 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6659
6660 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6661 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6662 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6663 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6664 [Steve Henson]
6665
6666 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6667 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6668 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6669 [Steve Henson]
6670
6671 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6672 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6673 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6674 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6675 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6676 internally such as S/MIME.
6677
6678 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6679 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6680 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6681
6682 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6683 applications.
6684 [Steve Henson]
6685
6686 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6687 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6688 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6689 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6690
6691 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6692
6693 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6694
6695 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6696 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6697 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6698 handling.
6699 [Steve Henson]
6700
6701 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6702 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6703 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6704 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6705 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6706 a window system and the like.
6707 [Richard Levitte]
6708
6709 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6710 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6711 [Geoff]
6712
6713 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6714 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6715 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6716 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6717 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6718 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6719 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6720 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6721 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6722 ENGINE structure.
6723 [Geoff]
6724
6725 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6726 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6727 tag cache.
6728 [Steve Henson]
6729
6730 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6731 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6732 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6733 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6734 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6735 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6736 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6737 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6738 [Geoff]
6739
6740 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6741 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6742 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6743 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6744 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6745 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6746 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6747 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6748 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6749 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6750 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6751 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6752 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6753 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6754 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6755 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6756 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6757 [Geoff]
6758
6759 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6760 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6761 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6762 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6763 internal engine_int.h header.
6764 [Geoff]
6765
6766 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6767 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6768 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6769 modify their own ones).
6770 [Geoff]
6771
6772 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6773 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6774 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6775 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6776 later on via ctrl() commands.
6777 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6778 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6779 structural references.
6780 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6781 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6782 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6783 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6784 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6785 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6786 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6787 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6788 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6789 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6790 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6791 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6792 [Geoff]
6793
6794 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6795 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6796 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6797 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6798 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6799 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6800 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6801 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6802 [Bodo Moeller]
6803
6804 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6805 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6806 [Steve Henson]
6807
6808 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6809 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6810 [Steve Henson]
6811
6812 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6813 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6814 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6815 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6816 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6817 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6818 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6819 [Steve Henson]
6820
6821 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6822 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6823 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6824 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6825 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6826
6827 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6828 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6829 generator).
6830 [Bodo Moeller]
6831
6832 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6833
6834 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6835 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6836 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6837
6838 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6839 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6840
6841 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6842 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6843 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6844
6845 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6846 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6847
6848 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6849 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6850
6851 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6852
6853 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6854 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6855 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6856 [Bodo Moeller]
6857
6858 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6859 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6860 [Richard Levitte]
6861
6862 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6863 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6864 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6865 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6866 is 40 of more characters long.
6867 [Steve Henson]
6868
6869 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6870 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6871 pointers.
6872 [Steve Henson]
6873
6874 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6875 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6876 [Bodo Moeller]
6877
6878 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6879 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6880 might.
6881 [Steve Henson]
6882
6883 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6884
6885 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6886 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6887
6888 ASN1 error codes
6889 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6890 ...
6891 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6892 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6893 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6894 ...
6895 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6896 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6897
6898 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6899 [Bodo Moeller]
6900
6901 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6902 suffices.
6903 [Bodo Moeller]
6904
6905 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6906 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6907 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6908 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6909 and
6910 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6911
6912 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6913 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6914
6915 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6916 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6917 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6918 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6919 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6920 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6921
6922 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6923 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6924
6925 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6926 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6927
6928 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6929 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6930
6931 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6932 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6933 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6934 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6935
6936 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6937 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6938
6939 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6940 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6941
6942 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6943 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6944 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6945 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6946 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6947 [Richard Levitte]
6948
6949 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6950 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6951 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6952 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6953 [Steve Henson]
6954
6955 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6956 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6957 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6958 trust settings.
6959 [Steve Henson]
6960
6961 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6962 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6963 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6964 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6965 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6966 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6967 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6968 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6969 ocsp utility.
6970 [Steve Henson]
6971
6972 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6973 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6974 [Steve Henson]
6975
6976 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6977 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6978 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6979 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6980 [Steve Henson]
6981
6982 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6983 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6984 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6985 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6986 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6987 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6988 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6989 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6990 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6991 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6992 [Steve Henson]
6993
6994 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6995 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6996 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6997 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6998 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6999 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7000 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7001 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7002
7003 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7004 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7005 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7006 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7007 [Richard Levitte]
7008
7009 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7010 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7011 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7012 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7013 opensslconf.h.
7014 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7015 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7016 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7017 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7018 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7019 what is available.
7020 [Richard Levitte]
7021
7022 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7023 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7024 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7025 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7026 auto incremented.
7027 [Steve Henson]
7028
7029 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7030 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7031 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7032 [Steve Henson]
7033
7034 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7035 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7036 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7037 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7038 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7039 [Steve Henson]
7040
7041 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7042 [Steve Henson]
7043
7044 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7045 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7046 option to ocsp utility.
7047 [Steve Henson]
7048
7049 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7050 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7051 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7052 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7053 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7054 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7055 the request is nonce-less.
7056 [Steve Henson]
7057
7058 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7059 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7060 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7061 [Bodo Moeller]
7062
7063 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7064 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7065 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7066 [Steve Henson]
7067
7068 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7069 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7070 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7071 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7072 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7073 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7074
7075 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7076 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7077 appear to exist.
7078 [Steve Henson]
7079
7080 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7081 additional certificates supplied.
7082 [Steve Henson]
7083
7084 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7085 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7086 signature against.
7087 [Richard Levitte]
7088
7089 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7090 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7091 AES OIDs.
7092
7093 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7094 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7095 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7096 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7097 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7098 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7099 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7100 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7101 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7102
7103 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7104 request to response.
7105 [Steve Henson]
7106
7107 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7108 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7109 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7110 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7111 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7112 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7113 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7114 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7115 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7116 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7117 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7118 [Steve Henson]
7119
7120 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7121 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7122 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7123 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7124 [Steve Henson]
7125
7126 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7127 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7128
7129 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7130 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7131 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7132 [Steve Henson]
7133
7134 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7135 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7136 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7137 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7138 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7139
7140 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7141 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7142 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7143 [Steve Henson]
7144
7145 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7146 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7147 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7148 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7149 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7150 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7151 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7152 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7153
7154 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7155 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7156 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7157 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7158 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7159 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7160 [Steve Henson]
7161
7162 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7163 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7164 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7165 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7166 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7167 printout format cleaned up.
7168 [Steve Henson]
7169
7170 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7171 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7172 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7173 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7174 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7175 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7176 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7177 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7178 [Steve Henson]
7179
7180 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7181 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7182 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7183 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7184 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7185 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7186 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7187 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7188 [Steve Henson]
7189
7190 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7191 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7192 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7193 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7194 section to use.
7195 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7196
7197 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7198 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7199 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7200 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7201 [Steve Henson]
7202
7203 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7204 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7205 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7206 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7207 in the index file.
7208 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7209
7210 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7211 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7212 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7213 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7214
7215 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7216 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7217
7218 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7219 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7220 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7221 [Steve Henson]
7222
7223 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7224 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7225 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7226 [Bodo Moeller]
7227
7228 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7229 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7230 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7231 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7232 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7233 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7234 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7235 functions are provided:
7236
7237 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7238 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7239 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7240 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7241
7242 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7243 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7244 extended allocation function is enabled.
7245 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7246 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7247 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7248
7249 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7250 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7251 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7252 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7253 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7254 [Geoff Thorpe]
7255
7256 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7257 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7258 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7259 be queried.
7260 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7261 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
7262 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7263 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7264
7265 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7266 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7267 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7268 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7269 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7270 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7271 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7272 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7273 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7274 [Richard Levitte]
7275
7276 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7277 provide utility functions which an application needing
7278 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7279 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7280 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7281
7282 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7283 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7284 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7285 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7286 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7287 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7288 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7289 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7290 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7291
7292 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7293 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7294 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7295 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7296 [Steve Henson]
7297
7298 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7299 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7300 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7301 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7302 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7303 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7304 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7305 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7306 will be added elsewhere.
7307 [Steve Henson]
7308
7309 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7310 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7311 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7312 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7313 [Steve Henson]
7314
7315 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7316 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7317 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7318 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7319 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7320 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7321 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7322 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7323 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7324 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7325 to produce the required SET OF.
7326 [Steve Henson]
7327
7328 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7329 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7330 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7331 [Richard Levitte]
7332
7333 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7334 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7335 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7336 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7337 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7338 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7339 [Steve Henson]
7340
7341 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7342 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7343 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7344 [Steve Henson]
7345
7346 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7347 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7348 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7349 [Richard Levitte]
7350
7351 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7352 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7353 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7354 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7355 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7356 [Steve Henson]
7357
7358 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7359 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7360 [Steve Henson]
7361
7362 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7363 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7364 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7365 certifcates and CRLs.
7366 [Steve Henson]
7367
7368 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7369 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7370 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7371 [Steve Henson]
7372
7373 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7374 entries for variables.
7375 [Steve Henson]
7376
7377 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7378 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7379 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7380 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7381 [Bodo Moeller]
7382
7383 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7384 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7385 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7386 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7387 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7388 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7389 [Bodo Moeller]
7390
7391 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7392 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7393
7394 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7395 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7396 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7397 [Steve Henson]
7398
7399 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7400 print routines.
7401 [Steve Henson]
7402
7403 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7404 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7405 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7406 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7407 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7408 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7409 [Steve Henson]
7410
7411 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7412 [Steve Henson]
7413
7414 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7415 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7416 for now but they will eventually go away.
7417 [Steve Henson]
7418
7419 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7420 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7421 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7422 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7423 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7424 has also been converted to the new form.
7425 [Steve Henson]
7426
7427 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7428 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7429 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7430 for negative moduli.
7431 [Bodo Moeller]
7432
7433 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7434 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7435 [Bodo Moeller]
7436
7437 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7438 set.
7439 [Bodo Moeller]
7440
7441 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7442 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7443 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7444 type-specific callbacks.
7445 [Geoff Thorpe]
7446
7447 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7448 RFC 2712.
7449 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7450 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7451
7452 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7453 in sections depending on the subject.
7454 [Richard Levitte]
7455
7456 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7457 Windows.
7458 [Richard Levitte]
7459
7460 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7461 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7462 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7463 be handled deterministically).
7464 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7465
7466 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7467 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7468 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7469 [Bodo Moeller]
7470
7471 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7472 [Bodo Moeller]
7473
7474 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7475 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7476 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7477 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7478 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7479 [Bodo Moeller]
7480
7481 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7482 sign of the number in question.
7483
7484 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7485
7486 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7487 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7488 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7489 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7490 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7491 [Bodo Moeller]
7492
7493 *) New function BN_swap.
7494 [Bodo Moeller]
7495
7496 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7497 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7498 results on negative inputs.
7499 [Bodo Moeller]
7500
7501 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7502 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7503 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7504 [Bodo Moeller]
7505
7506 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7507 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7508 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7509 and add new functions:
7510
7511 BN_nnmod
7512 BN_mod_sqr
7513 BN_mod_add
7514 BN_mod_add_quick
7515 BN_mod_sub
7516 BN_mod_sub_quick
7517 BN_mod_lshift1
7518 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7519 BN_mod_lshift
7520 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7521
7522 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7523
7524 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7525 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7526
7527 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7528 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7529 be reduced modulo m.
7530 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7531
7532 #if 0
7533 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7534 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7535 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7536
7537 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7538 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7539 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7540 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7541 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7542 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7543 differing sizes.
7544 [Richard Levitte]
7545 #endif
7546
7547 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7548 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7549 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7550 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7551 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7552
7553 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7554 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7555 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7556 cause any problems.
7557 [Bodo Moeller]
7558
7559 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7560 [Richard Levitte]
7561
7562 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7563 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7564 [Richard Levitte]
7565
7566 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7567 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7568 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7569 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7570 time)
7571 [Richard Levitte]
7572
7573 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7574 [Richard Levitte]
7575
7576 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7577 [Richard Levitte]
7578
7579 *) Add the following functions:
7580
7581 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7582 ENGINE_load_chil()
7583 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7584 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7585 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7586
7587 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7588 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7589 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7590 libraries unless it's really needed.
7591
7592 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7593 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7594 declarations (they differed!).
7595 [Richard Levitte]
7596
7597 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7598 [Richard Levitte]
7599
7600 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7601 [Richard Levitte]
7602
7603 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7604 [Bodo Moeller]
7605
7606 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7607 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7608 [Richard Levitte]
7609
7610 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7611 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7612 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7613
7614 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7615 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7616 [Richard Levitte]
7617
7618 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7619 [Richard Levitte]
7620
7621 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7622 [Richard Levitte]
7623
7624 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7625 [Ben Laurie]
7626
7627 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7628 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7629 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7630
7631 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7632 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7633 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7634 different shared library filenames on each system.
7635 [Geoff Thorpe]
7636
7637 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7638 [Richard Levitte]
7639
7640 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7641 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7642 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7643 of two sections.
7644 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7645
7646 *) NCONF changes.
7647 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7648 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7649 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7650 binary backward compatibility.
7651 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7652 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7653 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7654 LDAP server.
7655 [Richard Levitte]
7656
7657 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7658 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7659 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7660 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7661 this case.
7662 [Steve Henson]
7663
7664 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7665 [Ben Laurie]
7666
7667 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7668 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7669 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7670 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7671 set.
7672 [Steve Henson]
7673
7674 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7675 [Richard Levitte]
7676
7677 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7678
7679 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7680 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7681 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7682
7683 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7684
7685 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7686
7687 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7688 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7689 [Steve Henson]
7690
7691 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7692
7693 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7694
7695 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7696 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7697
7698 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7699 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7700
7701 [Steve Henson]
7702
7703 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7704 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7705 specifications.
7706 [Steve Henson]
7707
7708 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7709 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7710 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7711 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7712
7713 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7714 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7715 [Richard Levitte]
7716
7717 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7718
7719 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7720 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7721 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7722 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7723 [Bodo Moeller]
7724
7725 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7726 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7727 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7728 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7729 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7730
7731 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7732 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7733 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7734 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7735 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7736 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7737 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7738 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7739 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7740 [Bodo Moeller]
7741
7742 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7743
7744 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7745 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7746 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7747 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7748 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7749
7750 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7751 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7752 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7753
7754 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7755
7756 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7757 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7758 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7759 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7760 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7761 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7762 [Geoff Thorpe]
7763
7764 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7765 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7766 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7767 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7768 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7769 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7770
7771 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7772 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7773 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7774
7775 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7776 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7777 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7778 EVP_cleanup().
7779 [Richard Levitte]
7780
7781 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7782 being properly terminated.
7783 [Richard Levitte]
7784
7785 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7786 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7787 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7788 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7789
7790 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7791 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7792 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7793 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7794 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7795 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7796 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7797 change.
7798 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7799
7800 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7801 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7802 [Bodo Moeller]
7803
7804 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7805 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7806 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7807 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7808 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7809 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7810 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7811 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7812
7813 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7814 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7815 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7816 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7817 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7818
7819 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7820 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7821 [Steve Henson]
7822
7823 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7824
7825 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7826 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7827 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7828
7829 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7830
7831 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7832 and get fix the header length calculation.
7833 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7834 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7835 Steve Henson]
7836
7837 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7838 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7839 assertions could call abort()).
7840 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7841
7842 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7843
7844 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7845 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7846 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7847 supplied buffer.
7848 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7849
7850 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7851 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7852 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7853 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7854
7855 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7856 [Nils Larsch]
7857
7858 *) New option
7859 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7860 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7861 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7862
7863 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7864 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7865 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7866 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7867 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7868 applications.
7869 [Bodo Moeller]
7870
7871 *) Changes in security patch:
7872
7873 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7874 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7875 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7876 F30602-01-2-0537.
7877
7878 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7879 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7880 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7881 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7882 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7883
7884 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7885 happen in practice.
7886 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7887
7888 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7889 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7890 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7891
7892 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7893 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7894 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7895
7896 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7897 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7898 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7899
7900 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7901
7902 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7903 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7904 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7905
7906 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7907 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7908
7909 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7910 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7911 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7912 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7913 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7914 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7915 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7916
7917 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7918 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7919 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7920 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7921 [Bodo Moeller]
7922
7923 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7924 [Bodo Moeller]
7925
7926 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7927 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7928 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7929 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7930 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7931 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7932
7933 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7934 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7935 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7936 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7937 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7938 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7939
7940 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7941 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7942 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7943 BN_generate_prime().)
7944
7945 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7946 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7947 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7948 better.
7949 [Bodo Moeller]
7950
7951 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7952 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7953 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7954
7955 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7956 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7957 when using non-blocking I/O.
7958 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7959
7960 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7961 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7962
7963 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7964 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7965 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7966
7967 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7968 configuration for the versions before that.
7969 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7970
7971 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7972 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7973 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7974 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7975 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7976
7977 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7978 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7979 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7980 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7981
7982 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7983 value is 0.
7984 [Richard Levitte]
7985
7986 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7987 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7988 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7989
7990 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7991 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7992
7993 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7994 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7995 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7996 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7997 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7998 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7999 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8000 session cache.
8001
8002 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8003 using a local variable.
8004 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8005
8006 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8007 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8008 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8009
8010 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8011 [Richard Levitte]
8012
8013 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8014 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8015
8016 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8017 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8018 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8019
8020 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8021
8022 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8023 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8024 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8025 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8026 [Bodo Moeller]
8027
8028 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8029 present.
8030 [Steve Henson]
8031
8032 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8033 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8034 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8035 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8036 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8037
8038 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8039 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8040 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8041
8042 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8043 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8044 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8045
8046 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8047 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8048 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8049 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8050
8051 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8052 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8053 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8054 modules).
8055 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8056
8057 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8058 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8059 from 0.9.7.
8060 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8061
8062 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8063 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8064 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8065 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8066
8067 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8068 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8069 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8070 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8071
8072 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8073 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8074
8075 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8076 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8077 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8078 [Bodo Moeller]
8079
8080 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8081 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8082 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8083 become invalid.
8084 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8085
8086 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8087 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8088 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8089 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8090 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8091 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8092 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8093 [Bodo Moeller]
8094
8095 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8096 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8097 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8098 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8099
8100 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8101 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8102 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8103 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8104 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8105 the client will at least see that alert.
8106 [Bodo Moeller]
8107
8108 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8109 correctly.
8110 [Bodo Moeller]
8111
8112 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8113 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8114 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8115
8116 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8117 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8118 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8119 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8120 HelloRequest.
8121
8122 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8123 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8124 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8125
8126 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8127 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8128 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8129 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8130 may leak via logfiles.)
8131
8132 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8133 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8134 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8135 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8136 the legal range.
8137 [Bodo Moeller]
8138
8139 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8140 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8141 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8142
8143 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8144 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8145 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8146 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8147 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8148 [Bodo Moeller]
8149
8150 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8151 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8152
8153 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8154 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8155 followed by modular reduction.
8156 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8157
8158 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8159 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8160 [Bodo Moeller]
8161
8162 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8163 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8164 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8165 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8166 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8167
8168 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8169 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8170
8171 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8172 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8173 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8174
8175 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8176 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8177 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8178 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8179 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8180 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8181 automatically.
8182 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8183
8184 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8185 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8186 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8187 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8188 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8189
8190 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8191 [Andy Polyakov]
8192
8193 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8194 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8195 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8196 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8197 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8198 to allow the necessary settings.
8199 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8200
8201 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8202 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8203 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8204 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8205 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8206
8207 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8208 dh->length and always used
8209
8210 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8211
8212 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8213 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8214 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8215 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8216 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8217 dh->length.
8218
8219 So switch back to
8220
8221 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8222
8223 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8224 otherwise.
8225 [Bodo Moeller]
8226
8227 *) In
8228
8229 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8230 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8231 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8232 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8233
8234 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8235 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8236 always reject numbers >= n.
8237 [Bodo Moeller]
8238
8239 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8240 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8241 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8242 variable) is not atomic.
8243 [Bodo Moeller]
8244
8245 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8246 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8247 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8248 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8249
8250 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8251 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8252
8253 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8254 little-endian MIPS.
8255 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8256
8257 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8258 [Richard Levitte]
8259
8260 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8261
8262 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8263 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8264 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8265 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8266 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8267 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8268 to traverse all of 'state'.
8269
8270 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8271 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8272 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8273
8274 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8275 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8276
8277 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8278 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8279 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8280 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8281 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8282 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8283 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8284 further strengthens the PRNG.
8285 [Bodo Moeller]
8286
8287 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8288 [Andy Polyakov]
8289
8290 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8291 an error message in this case.
8292 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8293
8294 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8295 [Steve Henson]
8296
8297 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8298 positive and less than q.
8299 [Bodo Moeller]
8300
8301 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8302 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8303 that itself.
8304 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8305
8306 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8307 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8308 [Bodo Moeller]
8309
8310 *) Fix OAEP check.
8311 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8312
8313 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8314 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8315 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8316 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8317 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8318 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8319 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8320 paper.)
8321
8322 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8323 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8324 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8325 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8326
8327 Both problems are now fixed.
8328 [Bodo Moeller]
8329
8330 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8331 (previously it was 1024).
8332 [Bodo Moeller]
8333
8334 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8335 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8336 [Steve Henson]
8337
8338 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8339 [Steve Henson]
8340
8341 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8342 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8343 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8344 [Steve Henson]
8345
8346 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8347 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8348 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8349 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8350 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8351 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8352 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8353 environment variables.
8354
8355 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8356 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8357 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8358 [Bodo Moeller]
8359
8360 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8361 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8362 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8363 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8364 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8365 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8366 [Bodo Moeller]
8367
8368 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8369 versions of 'test'.
8370 [Bodo Moeller]
8371
8372 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8373
8374 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8375 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8376
8377 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8378 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8379 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8380 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8381 CygWin.
8382 [Richard Levitte]
8383
8384 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8385 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8386 amount of data available.
8387 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8388 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8389
8390 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8391 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8392 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8393 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8394 [Bodo Moeller]
8395
8396 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8397 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8398 and UnixWare.
8399 [Richard Levitte]
8400
8401 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8402 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8403 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8404 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8405 [Ulf Moeller]
8406
8407 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8408 [Andy Polyakov]
8409
8410 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8411 [Richard Levitte]
8412
8413 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8414 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8415 [Steve Henson]
8416 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8417
8418 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8419 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8420 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8421 (but broken) behaviour.
8422 [Steve Henson]
8423
8424 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8425 it when found.
8426 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8427
8428 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8429 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8430 [Bodo Moeller]
8431
8432 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8433 did not exist.
8434 [Bodo Moeller]
8435
8436 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8437 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8438
8439 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8440 [Richard Levitte]
8441
8442 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8443 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8444 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8445
8446 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8447 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8448 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8449 [Steve Henson]
8450
8451 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8452 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8453 [Ulf Moeller]
8454
8455 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8456 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8457
8458 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8459
8460 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8461
8462 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8463 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8464 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8465 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8466 [Bodo Moeller]
8467
8468 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8469 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8470
8471 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8472 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8473 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8474
8475 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8476 was empty.
8477 [Steve Henson]
8478 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8479
8480 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8481 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8482 but the code is actually correct.
8483 [Steve Henson]
8484
8485 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8486 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8487 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8488 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8489 and leaves the highest bit random.
8490 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8491
8492 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8493 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8494 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8495 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8496 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8497 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8498 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8499 [Bodo Moeller]
8500
8501 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8502 [Ulf Moeller]
8503
8504 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8505 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8506 [Steve Henson]
8507
8508 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8509 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8510 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8511 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8512 headers.
8513 [Richard Levitte]
8514
8515 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8516 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8517 and break the signature.
8518 [Steve Henson]
8519 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8520
8521 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8522 DH ciphersuites.
8523 [Steve Henson]
8524
8525 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8526 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8527 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8528 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8529 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8530 [Bodo Moeller]
8531
8532 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8533 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8534
8535 *) ./config script fixes.
8536 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8537
8538 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8539 [Bodo Moeller]
8540
8541 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8542 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8543 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8544 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8545 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8546
8547 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8548 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8549 [Bodo Moeller]
8550
8551 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8552 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8553 [Steve Henson]
8554
8555 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8556 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8557 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8558 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8559
8560 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8561 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8562
8563 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8564 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8565 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8566 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8567 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8568
8569 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8570 [Bodo Moeller]
8571
8572 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8573 [Ulf Möller]
8574
8575 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8576 [Ulf Möller]
8577
8578 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8579 [Bodo Moeller]
8580
8581 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8582 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8583 [Bodo Moeller]
8584
8585 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8586 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8587 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8588 result of the server certificate verification.)
8589 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8590
8591 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8592 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8593 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8594 [Bodo Moeller]
8595
8596 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8597 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8598 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8599 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8600 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8601 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8602 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8603 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8604 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8605 [Bodo Moeller]
8606
8607 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8608 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8609 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8610 happening the other way round.
8611 [Geoff Thorpe]
8612
8613 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8614 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8615 [Bodo Moeller]
8616
8617 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8618 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8619 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8620 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8621 [Richard Levitte]
8622
8623 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8624 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8625
8626 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8627
8628 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8629 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8630 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8631 that.
8632
8633 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8634
8635 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8636
8637 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8638 static ones.
8639 [Richard Levitte]
8640
8641 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8642
8643 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8644 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8645 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8646 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8647 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8648
8649 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8650 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8651 matter what.
8652 [Richard Levitte]
8653
8654 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8655 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8656
8657 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8658
8659 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8660 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8661 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8662 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8663 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8664 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8665 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8666 by the Finished messages.
8667 [Bodo Moeller]
8668
8669 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8670 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8671
8672 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8673 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8674 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8675 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8676 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8677 appropriately.
8678 [Steve Henson]
8679
8680 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8681 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8682 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8683 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8684 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8685 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8686 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8687 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8688 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8689 together.
8690 [Steve Henson]
8691
8692 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8693 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8694 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8695 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8696
8697 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8698 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8699 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8700 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8701 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8702 the answer.
8703
8704 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8705 been tested well enough.
8706 [Richard Levitte]
8707
8708 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8709 it can return incorrect results.
8710 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8711 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8712 [Bodo Moeller]
8713
8714 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8715 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8716 include zero length content when signing messages.
8717 [Steve Henson]
8718
8719 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8720 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8721 [Bodo Möller]
8722
8723 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8724 [Richard Levitte]
8725
8726 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8727 wrong sign.
8728 [Ulf Möller]
8729
8730 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8731 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8732 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8733 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8734 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8735 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8736 [Richard Levitte]
8737
8738 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8739 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8740
8741 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8742 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8743
8744 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8745 random number < q in the DSA library.
8746 [Ulf Möller]
8747
8748 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8749 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8750 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8751 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8752 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8753 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8754 just makes things more complicated.)
8755 [Bodo Moeller]
8756
8757 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8758 from EGD.
8759 [Ben Laurie]
8760
8761 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8762 work better on such systems.
8763 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8764
8765 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8766 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8767 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8768 [Steve Henson]
8769
8770 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8771 if there was more than one signature.
8772 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8773
8774 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8775 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8776 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8777 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8778 [Richard Levitte]
8779
8780 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8781 rather than always using the current time.
8782 [Steve Henson]
8783
8784 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8785 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8786 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8787 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8788 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8789 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8790
8791 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8792 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8793
8794 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8795
8796 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8797 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8798 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8799 the same hash value.
8800
8801 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8802 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8803 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8804 with X509_STORE internally.
8805
8806 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8807 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8808
8809 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8810 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8811 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8812 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8813 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8814 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8815 entirely (maybe later...).
8816
8817 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8818
8819 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8820 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8821 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8822 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8823 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8824 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8825 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8826 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8827
8828 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8829 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8830
8831 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8832 to customise the verify behaviour.
8833 [Steve Henson]
8834
8835 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8836 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8837 [Steve Henson]
8838
8839 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8840 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8841 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8842 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8843 request is improperly encoded.
8844 [Steve Henson]
8845
8846 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8847 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8848 BIO_write(b, ...).
8849
8850 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8851 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8852
8853 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8854 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8855 words set to zero.)
8856 [Bodo Moeller]
8857
8858 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8859 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8860 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8861 [Bodo Moeller]
8862
8863 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8864 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8865 BIO/fp routines also added.
8866 [Steve Henson]
8867
8868 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8869 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8870
8871 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8872 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8873 demos/state_machine.
8874 [Ben Laurie]
8875
8876 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8877 generation and verification.
8878 [Steve Henson]
8879
8880 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8881 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8882 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8883 encode and decode it manually.
8884 [Steve Henson]
8885
8886 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8887 compile under VC++.
8888 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8889
8890 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8891 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8892 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8893 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8894
8895 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8896 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8897 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8898 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8899 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8900 [Steve Henson]
8901
8902 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8903 [Richard Levitte]
8904
8905 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8906 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8907 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8908
8909 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8910 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8911 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8912 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8913 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8914 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8915 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8916 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8917
8918 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8919 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8920
8921 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8922
8923 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8924 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8925 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8926
8927 [Richard Levitte]
8928
8929 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8930 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8931 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8932 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8933 [Richard Levitte]
8934
8935 *) MD4 implemented.
8936 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8937
8938 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8939 [Richard Levitte]
8940
8941 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8942 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8943 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8944 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8945 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8946 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8947 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8948 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8949 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8950 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8951 short or long names are found.
8952 [Steve Henson]
8953
8954 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8955 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8956
8957 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8958 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8959 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8960 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8961
8962 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8963 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8964 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8965 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8966 [Bodo Moeller]
8967
8968 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8969 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8970 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8971 [Richard Levitte]
8972
8973 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8974 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8975 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8976 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8977 to allow the various flags to be set.
8978 [Steve Henson]
8979
8980 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8981 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8982 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8983 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8984 dates to be checked.
8985 [Steve Henson]
8986
8987 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8988 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8989 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8990 [Steve Henson]
8991
8992 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8993 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8994 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8995 [Steve Henson]
8996
8997 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8998 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8999 [Bodo Moeller]
9000
9001 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9002 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9003 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9004 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9005 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9006 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9007 [Richard Levitte]
9008
9009 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9010 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9011 Random Numbers.
9012 [Ulf Möller]
9013
9014 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9015 DSA key.
9016 [Steve Henson]
9017
9018 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9019 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9020 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9021 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9022 form signing output easier to verify.
9023 [Steve Henson]
9024
9025 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9026 [Steve Henson]
9027
9028 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9029 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9030 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9031 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9032 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9033 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9034 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9035 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9036 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9037 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9038 [Steve Henson]
9039
9040 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9041
9042 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9043 the syntax given in objects.README.
9044 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9045 obj_mac.h.
9046 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9047 obj_mac.h.
9048
9049 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9050 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9051 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9052 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9053 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9054 consistent name changes.
9055 [Richard Levitte]
9056
9057 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9058 [Bodo Moeller]
9059
9060 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9061 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9062 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9063 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9064 [Richard Levitte]
9065
9066 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9067 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9068 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9069 of safestack.h .
9070 [Steve Henson]
9071
9072 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9073 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9074 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9075 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9076 [Steve Henson]
9077
9078 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9079 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9080 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9081 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9082 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9083 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9084 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9085 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9086 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9087 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9088 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9089 [Steve Henson]
9090
9091 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9092 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9093 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9094 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9095 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9096 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9097 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9098 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9099 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9100 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9101 [Steve Henson]
9102
9103 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9104 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9105 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9106 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9107
9108 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9109 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9110 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9111 omit any duplicate addresses.
9112 [Steve Henson]
9113
9114 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9115 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9116 [Bodo Moeller]
9117
9118 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9119 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9120 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9121 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9122 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9123 [Bodo Moeller]
9124
9125 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9126 software:
9127 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9128 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9129 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9130 Free => OPENSSL_free
9131 [Richard Levitte]
9132
9133 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9134 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9135 [Bodo Moeller]
9136
9137 *) CygWin32 support.
9138 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9139
9140 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9141 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9142 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9143 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9144 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9145 approach.
9146 [Geoff Thorpe]
9147
9148 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9149 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9150 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9151 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9152 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9153 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9154 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9155 [Geoff Thorpe]
9156
9157 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9158 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9159 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9160 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9161 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9162 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9163 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9164 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9165 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9166 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9167 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9168 [Bodo Moeller]
9169
9170 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9171 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9172 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9173 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9174 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9175
9176 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9177 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9178 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9179 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9180 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9181
9182 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9183 ciphers.
9184
9185 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9186 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9187 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9188 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9189
9190 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9191
9192 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9193 of macros.
9194
9195 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9196 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9197 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9198 flags.
9199
9200 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9201 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9202 any installed hardware versions can.
9203 [Steve Henson]
9204
9205 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9206 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9207 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9208 number.
9209 [Bodo Moeller]
9210
9211 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9212 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9213 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9214 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9215 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9216
9217 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9218 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9219 [Steve Henson]
9220
9221 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9222 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9223 [Richard Levitte]
9224
9225 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9226 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9227 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9228 features.
9229 [Steve Henson]
9230
9231 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9232 [Ulf Möller]
9233
9234 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9235 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9236 but no ssl client purpose.
9237 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9238
9239 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9240 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9241 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9242 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9243 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9244 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9245 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9246 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9247 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9248 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9249 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9250 [Steve Henson]
9251
9252 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9253 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9254 be obtained from the error queue.
9255 [Bodo Moeller]
9256
9257 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9258 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9259 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9260 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9261 [Bodo Moeller]
9262
9263 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9264 [Ulf Möller]
9265
9266 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9267 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9268 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9269 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9270 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9271 [Geoff Thorpe]
9272
9273 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9274 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9275 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9276 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9277 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9278 [Geoff Thorpe]
9279
9280 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9281 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9282 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9283 may not be NULL.
9284 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9285
9286 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9287 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9288 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9289 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9290 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9291 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9292 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9293 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9294 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9295 or "the configuration storage API"...
9296
9297 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9298
9299 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9300 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9301
9302 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9303
9304 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9305
9306 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9307 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9308 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9309 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9310 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9311 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9312 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9313
9314 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9315 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9316 [Richard Levitte]
9317
9318 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9319 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9320 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9321 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9322 [Bodo Moeller]
9323
9324 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9325 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9326 them in a portable way.
9327 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9328
9329 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9330
9331 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9332
9333 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9334 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9335
9336 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9337 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9338 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9339 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9340
9341 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9342 was larger than the MD block size.
9343 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9344
9345 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9346 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9347 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9348 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9349 components.
9350 [Steve Henson]
9351
9352 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9353 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9354 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9355
9356 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9357 discouraged.
9358 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9359
9360 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9361 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9362 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9363 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9364 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9365 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9366
9367 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9368 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9369
9370 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9371 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9372 [Bodo Moeller]
9373
9374 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9375 [Bodo Moeller]
9376
9377 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9378 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9379 its own key.
9380 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9381 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9382 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9383 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9384 [Bodo Moeller]
9385
9386 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9387 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9388 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9389 does not suppress any output.
9390 [Richard Levitte]
9391
9392 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9393 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9394 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9395 with all the associated security issues.
9396
9397 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9398 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9399 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9400 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9401 use the value in the default purpose.
9402 [Steve Henson]
9403
9404 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9405 and fix a memory leak.
9406 [Steve Henson]
9407
9408 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9409 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9410 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9411 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9412 [Bodo Moeller]
9413
9414 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9415 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9416 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9417 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9418 [Bodo Moeller]
9419
9420 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9421 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9422 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9423 [Bodo Moeller]
9424
9425 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9426 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9427 [Bodo Moeller]
9428
9429 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9430 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9431 which was free.
9432 [Steve Henson]
9433
9434 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9435 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9436 [Bodo Moeller]
9437
9438 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9439 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9440 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9441 [Bodo Moeller]
9442
9443 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9444 number generation fails.
9445 [Bodo Moeller]
9446
9447 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9448 [Bodo Moeller]
9449
9450 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9451 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9452
9453 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9454 [Ulf Möller]
9455
9456 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9457 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9458
9459 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9460 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9461
9462 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9463
9464 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9465 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9466 [Steve Henson]
9467
9468 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9469 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9470
9471 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9472 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9473 [Ulf Möller]
9474
9475 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9476 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9477 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9478 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9479 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9480 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9481
9482 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9483 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9484 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9485 for example.
9486 [Steve Henson]
9487
9488 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9489 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9490 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9491 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9492 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9493 counter, some don't.)
9494 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9495 counters or duplicate objects.
9496 [Steve Henson]
9497
9498 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9499 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9500 [Steve Henson]
9501
9502 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9503 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9504 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9505
9506 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9507 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9508 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9509 or -rand.
9510 [Ulf Möller]
9511
9512 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9513 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9514 [Steve Henson]
9515
9516 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9517 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9518 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9519 cipher list.
9520 [Steve Henson]
9521
9522 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9523 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9524 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9525 [Steve Henson]
9526
9527 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9528 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9529 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9530 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9531 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9532 should work without changes.
9533 [Richard Levitte]
9534
9535 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9536 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9537 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9538 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9539 must be defined. E.g.,
9540 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9541 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9542 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9543 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9544
9545 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9546 record layer.
9547 [Bodo Moeller]
9548
9549 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9550 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9551 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9552 [Steve Henson]
9553
9554 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9555 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9556 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9557 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9558 [Steve Henson]
9559
9560 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9561 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9562 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9563 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9564 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9565 is prompted for as usual.
9566 [Steve Henson]
9567
9568 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9569 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9570 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9571 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9572
9573 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9574 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9575 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9576 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9577 [Steve Henson]
9578
9579 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9580 [Andy Polyakov]
9581
9582 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9583 of seed file.
9584 [Steve Henson]
9585
9586 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9587 [Bodo Moeller]
9588
9589 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9590 [Steve Henson]
9591
9592 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9593 bits.
9594 [Ulf Möller]
9595
9596 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9597 [Ulf Möller]
9598
9599 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9600 [Andy Polyakov]
9601
9602 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9603 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9604 [Ulf Möller]
9605
9606 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9607 options to produce them.
9608 [Steve Henson]
9609
9610 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9611 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9612 [Ulf Möller]
9613
9614 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9615 for p == 0.
9616 [Ulf Möller]
9617
9618 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9619 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9620 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9621 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9622 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9623 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9624 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9625 [Steve Henson]
9626
9627 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9628 [Steve Henson]
9629
9630 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9631 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9632 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9633 [Bodo Moeller]
9634
9635 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9636 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9637
9638 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9639 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9640 [Ulf Möller]
9641
9642 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9643 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9644 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9645 has already seen).
9646 [Bodo Moeller]
9647
9648 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9649 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9650
9651 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9652 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9653 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9654 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9655 generation becomes much faster.
9656
9657 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9658 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9659 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9660 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9661 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9662 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9663 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9664 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9665 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9666 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9667 [Bodo Moeller]
9668
9669 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9670 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9671 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9672 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9673 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9674 trial division stage.
9675 [Bodo Moeller]
9676
9677 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9678 as ASN1_TIME.
9679 [Steve Henson]
9680
9681 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9682 [Steve Henson]
9683
9684 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9685 [Ulf Möller]
9686
9687 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9688 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9689 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9690 the comments.
9691 [Ulf Möller]
9692
9693 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9694 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9695 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9696 [Bodo Moeller]
9697
9698 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9699 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9700 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9701 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9702
9703 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9704 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9705 [Steve Henson]
9706
9707 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9708 [Ulf Möller]
9709
9710 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9711 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9712 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9713 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9714 [Ulf Möller]
9715
9716 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9717 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9718 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9719 [Ulf Möller]
9720
9721 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9722 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9723 (instead of parameters) in future.
9724 [Steve Henson]
9725
9726 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9727 when a new cipher list is set.
9728 [Steve Henson]
9729
9730 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9731 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9732 wrong.
9733
9734 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9735 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9736 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9737
9738 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9739 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9740 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9741 an error is flagged.
9742
9743 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9744 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9745 the readability was also increased :-)
9746 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9747
9748 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9749 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9750 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9751 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9752 as the root CA.
9753 [Steve Henson]
9754
9755 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9756 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9757 [Steve Henson]
9758
9759 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9760 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9761 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9762 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9763 instead.
9764
9765 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9766 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9767 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9768 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9769 because they handle more complex structures.)
9770 [Steve Henson]
9771
9772 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9773 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9774 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9775 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9776
9777 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9778 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9779 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9780 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9781 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9782 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9783 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9784 [Ulf Möller]
9785
9786 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9787 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9788 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9789 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9790 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9791 [Bodo Moeller]
9792
9793 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9794 [Bodo Moeller]
9795
9796 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9797 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9798 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9799 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9800 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9801 to use this.
9802
9803 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9804 code.
9805 [Steve Henson]
9806
9807 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9808 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9809 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9810 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9811 [Steve Henson]
9812
9813 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9814 [Ulf Möller]
9815
9816 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9817 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9818 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9819 international characters are used.
9820
9821 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9822 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9823 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9824 in ASN1 order.
9825 [Steve Henson]
9826
9827 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9828 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9829 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9830 request.
9831
9832 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9833 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9834 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9835 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9836 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9837 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9838
9839 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9840 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9841 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9842 be handled by the string table functions.
9843
9844 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9845 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9846 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9847 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9848 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9849 types at all.
9850 [Steve Henson]
9851
9852 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9853 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9854 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9855 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9856 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9857
9858 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9859 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9860 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9861 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9862 [Bodo Moeller]
9863
9864 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9865 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9866 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9867 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9868 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9869 SHA1.
9870 [Andy Polyakov]
9871
9872 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9873 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9874 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9875 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9876 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9877 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9878 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9879 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9880
9881 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9882 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9883 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9884 [Steve Henson]
9885
9886 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9887 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9888 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9889 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9890 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9891 support to pkcs8 application.
9892 [Steve Henson]
9893
9894 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9895 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9896 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9897 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9898 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9899 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9900 [Bodo Moeller]
9901
9902 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9903 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9904 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9905 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9906 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9907 consistency.
9908 [Bodo Moeller]
9909
9910 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9911 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9912 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9913 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9914 example.
9915 [Steve Henson]
9916
9917 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9918 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9919 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9920 and any application specific purposes.
9921
9922 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9923 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9924 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9925 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9926 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9927 if the certificate is self signed.
9928 [Steve Henson]
9929
9930 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9931 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9932 [Steve Henson]
9933
9934 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9935 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9936 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9937 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9938 [Steve Henson]
9939
9940 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9941 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9942 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9943 Update documentation.
9944 [Steve Henson]
9945
9946 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9947 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9948 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9949 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9950 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9951 [Steve Henson]
9952
9953 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9954 for details.
9955 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9956
9957 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9958 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9959 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9960 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9961 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9962 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9963 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9964 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9965 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9966 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9967
9968 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9969
9970 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9971 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9972 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9973 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9974 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9975
9976 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9977 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9978 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9979 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9980 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9981 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9982 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9983 request additional information:
9984 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9985 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9986
9987 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9988 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9989 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9990 options.
9991
9992 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9993 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9994
9995 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
9996 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9997 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
9998
9999 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10000 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10001
10002 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10003 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10004 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10005 algorithm.
10006 [Steve Henson]
10007
10008 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10009 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10010 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10011
10012 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10013 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10014 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10015 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10016 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10017 included in OpenSSL.
10018 [Steve Henson]
10019
10020 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10021 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10022 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10023 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10024 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10025 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10026 [Bodo Moeller]
10027
10028 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10029 PKCS12 structure.
10030 [Steve Henson]
10031
10032 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10033 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10034 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10035 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10036 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10037 structure.
10038 [Steve Henson]
10039
10040 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10041 need initialising.
10042 [Steve Henson]
10043
10044 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10045 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10046 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10047 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10048 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10049 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10050 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10051 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10052 be maintained manually.
10053
10054 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10055 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10056 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10057 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10058 work because people forget to call this function]
10059 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10060 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10061 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10062 [Steve Henson]
10063
10064 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10065 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10066 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10067 should be discouraged from doing it.
10068 [Ben Laurie]
10069
10070 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10071 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10072 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10073 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10074 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10075 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10076 [Steve Henson]
10077
10078 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10079 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10080 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10081
10082 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10083 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10084 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10085
10086 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10087 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10088 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10089 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10090 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10091 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10092
10093 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10094 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10095 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10096
10097 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10098 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10099 and vice versa.
10100
10101 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10102 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10103 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10104 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10105 [Steve Henson]
10106
10107 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10108 [Steve Henson]
10109
10110 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10111 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10112 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10113 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10114 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10115 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10116 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10117 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10118 keys so we should be OK.
10119
10120 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10121 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10122 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10123 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10124 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10125 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10126 stay in the name of compatibility.
10127
10128 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10129 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10130 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10131
10132 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10133 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10134 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10135 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10136 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10137 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10138 supplied key).
10139 [Steve Henson]
10140
10141 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10142 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10143 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10144 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10145 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10146 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10147 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10148 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10149 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10150 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10151 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10152 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10153 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10154 [Steve Henson]
10155
10156 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10157 [Steve Henson]
10158
10159 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10160 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10161 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10162 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10163 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10164 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10165 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10166 openssl verify ss.pem
10167 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10168 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10169 is OK.
10170 [Steve Henson]
10171
10172 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10173 (and add it to external session representation).
10174 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10175 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10176 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10177 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10178 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10179 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10180 security holes.
10181 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10182
10183 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10184 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10185 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10186 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10187
10188 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10189 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10190 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10191 [Steve Henson]
10192
10193 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10194 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10195 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10196 code.
10197 [Steve Henson]
10198
10199 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10200 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10201 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10202
10203 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10204 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10205 certificate auxiliary information.
10206 [Steve Henson]
10207
10208 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10209 the 'enc' command.
10210 [Steve Henson]
10211
10212 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10213 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10214 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10215 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10216 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10217 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10218 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10219 [Richard Levitte]
10220
10221 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10222 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10223 [Steve Henson]
10224
10225 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10226 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10227 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10228 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10229 [Steve Henson]
10230
10231 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10232 [Steve Henson]
10233
10234 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10235 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10236 [Steve Henson]
10237
10238 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10239 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10240 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10241 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10242 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10243 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10244 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10245 using the new 'x509' options.
10246
10247 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10248 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10249 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10250 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10251 for all purposes.
10252 [Steve Henson]
10253
10254 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10255 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10256 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10257 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10258 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10259 [Mark Cox]
10260
10261 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10262 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10263 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10264 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10265 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10266 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10267 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10268 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10269 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10270 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10271 [Steve Henson]
10272
10273 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10274 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10275 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10276 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10277 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10278 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10279 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10280 [Steve Henson]
10281
10282 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10283 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10284 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10285 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10286 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10287 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10288 openssl.cnf for more info.
10289 [Steve Henson]
10290
10291 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10292 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10293 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10294 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10295 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10296 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10297 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10298 md should be large enough anyway.
10299 [Bodo Moeller]
10300
10301 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10302 for handling the random seed file.
10303
10304 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10305 ca,
10306 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10307 s_client,
10308 s_server,
10309 x509 (when signing).
10310 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10311 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10312 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10313
10314 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10315 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10316 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10317 that support '-rand'.
10318 [Bodo Moeller]
10319
10320 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10321 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10322 [Bodo Moeller]
10323
10324 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10325 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10326 [Bill Perry]
10327
10328 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10329 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10330 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10331 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10332 is suitable.
10333 [Steve Henson]
10334
10335 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10336 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10337 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10338 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10339 [Steve Henson]
10340
10341 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10342 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10343 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10344 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10345 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10346 print out all the purposes.
10347 [Steve Henson]
10348
10349 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10350 functions.
10351 [Steve Henson]
10352
10353 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10354 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10355 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10356 single function call.
10357 [Steve Henson]
10358
10359 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10360 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10361 [Andy Polyakov]
10362
10363 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10364 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10365 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10366 [Steve Henson]
10367
10368 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10369 when producing the local key id.
10370 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10371
10372 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10373 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10374 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10375 "server.pem".
10376 [Steve Henson]
10377
10378 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10379 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10380 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10381 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10382 [Steve Henson]
10383
10384 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10385 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10386 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10387 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10388
10389 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10390 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10391 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10392 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10393
10394 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10395 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10396 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10397 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10398 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10399 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10400 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10401 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10402 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10403 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10404 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10405 trivial: move one line.
10406 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10407
10408 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10409 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10410 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10411 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10412 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10413 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10414 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10415 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10416 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10417 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10418 with an event loop for example.
10419 [Steve Henson]
10420
10421 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10422 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10423 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10424 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10425 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10426 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10427 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10428 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10429 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10430 [Steve Henson]
10431
10432 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10433 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10434 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10435 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10436 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10437 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10438 [Steve Henson]
10439
10440 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10441 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10442 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10443 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10444
10445 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10446 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10447 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10448 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10449 key generation.
10450 [Steve Henson]
10451
10452 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10453 (still largely untested)
10454 [Bodo Moeller]
10455
10456 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10457 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10458 [Steve Henson]
10459
10460 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10461 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10462 [Steve Henson]
10463
10464 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10465 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10466 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10467 [Bodo Moeller]
10468
10469 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10470 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10471 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10472 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10473 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10474 [Steve Henson]
10475
10476 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10477 [Andy Polyakov]
10478
10479 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10480 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10481 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10482 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10483 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10484 in ca.
10485 [Steve Henson]
10486
10487 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10488 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10489 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10490 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10491 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10492 [Steve Henson]
10493
10494 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10495 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10496 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10497 are otherwise ignored at present.
10498 [Steve Henson]
10499
10500 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10501 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10502 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10503 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10504 copied until the next read.
10505 [Steve Henson]
10506
10507 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10508 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10509 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10510 [Steve Henson]
10511
10512 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10513 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10514 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10515 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10516 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10517 associated functions.
10518 [Steve Henson]
10519
10520 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10521 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10522 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10523 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10524 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10525 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10526 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10527 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10528 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10529 memory BIOs.
10530 [Steve Henson]
10531
10532 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10533 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10534 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10535 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10536 [Bodo Moeller]
10537
10538 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10539 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10540 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10541 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10542 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10543 functionality.
10544 [Steve Henson]
10545
10546 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10547 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10548 under Win32.
10549 [Steve Henson]
10550
10551 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10552 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10553 extensions to be obtained and added.
10554 [Steve Henson]
10555
10556 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10557 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10558 [Bodo Moeller]
10559
10560 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10561
10562 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10563 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10564
10565 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10566 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10567
10568 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10569 program.
10570 [Steve Henson]
10571
10572 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10573 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10574 DH parameters contain its length).
10575
10576 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10577 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10578 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10579 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10580 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10581 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10582 utter importance to use
10583 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10584 or
10585 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10586 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10587 attacks may become possible!
10588 [Bodo Moeller]
10589
10590 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10591 [Bodo Moeller]
10592
10593 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10594 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10595 [Steve Henson]
10596
10597 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10598 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10599 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10600 or long name.
10601 [Steve Henson]
10602
10603 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10604 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10605 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10606 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10607 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10608 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10609 private key operations.
10610 [Steve Henson]
10611
10612 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10613 [Andy Polyakov]
10614
10615 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10616 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10617 to
10618 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10619 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10620 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10621 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10622 the password callback is called.
10623 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10624
10625 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10626
10627 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10628 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10629 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10630 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10631 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10632 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10633 this will work.
10634
10635 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10636 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10637 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10638 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10639 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10640 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10641 [Bodo Moeller]
10642
10643 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10644 [Andy Polyakov]
10645
10646 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10647 delete an unused file.
10648 [Ulf Möller]
10649
10650 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10651 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10652 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10653 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10654 [Steve Henson]
10655
10656 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10657 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10658 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10659 of an error.
10660 [Bodo Moeller]
10661
10662 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10663 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10664 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10665
10666 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10667 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10668 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10669 comparison" warnings.
10670 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10671 [Steve Henson]
10672
10673 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10674 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10675 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10676 [Steve Henson]
10677
10678 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10679 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10680
10681 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10682 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10683
10684 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10685 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10686 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10687
10688 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10689 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10690 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10691 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10692 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10693 this bug.
10694 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10695
10696 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10697 The interface is as follows:
10698 Applications can use
10699 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10700 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10701 "off" is now the default.
10702 The library internally uses
10703 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10704 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10705 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10706
10707 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10708 even the default) are now avoided.
10709
10710 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10711 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10712 than just having a counter.
10713
10714 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10715
10716 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10717 extensions.
10718 [Bodo Moeller]
10719
10720 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10721 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10722 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10723 Initial "mode" flags are:
10724
10725 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10726 a single record has been written.
10727 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10728 retries use the same buffer location.
10729 (But all of the contents must be
10730 copied!)
10731 [Bodo Moeller]
10732
10733 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10734 worked.
10735
10736 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10737 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10738
10739 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10740 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10741 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10742 [Steve Henson]
10743
10744 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10745 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10746 test programs.
10747 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10748
10749 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10750 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10751 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10752 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10753 point to the end.
10754 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10755 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10756
10757 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10758 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10759 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10760 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10761 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10762 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10763 [Steve Henson]
10764
10765 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10766 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10767 necessary function names.
10768 [Steve Henson]
10769
10770 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10771 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10772 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10773 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10774 [Bodo Moeller]
10775
10776 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10777 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10778 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10779 [Steve Henson]
10780
10781 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10782 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10783 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10784 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10785 such programs?)
10786 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10787 need locks.
10788 [Bodo Moeller]
10789
10790 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10791 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10792 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10793 [Bodo Moeller]
10794
10795 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10796 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10797 appropriate.
10798 [Bodo Moeller]
10799
10800 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10801 for the encoded length.
10802 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10803
10804 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10805 [Steve Henson]
10806
10807 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10808 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10809 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10810 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10811 [Steve Henson]
10812
10813 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10814 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10815 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10816
10817 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10818 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10819 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10820 unusual formatting.
10821 [Steve Henson]
10822
10823 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10824 to use the new extension code.
10825 [Steve Henson]
10826
10827 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10828 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10829 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10830 constant.
10831 [Steve Henson]
10832
10833 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10834 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10835 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10836 [Bodo Moeller]
10837
10838 #if 0
10839 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10840 [Ben Laurie]
10841 #else
10842 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10843 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10844 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10845 #endif
10846
10847 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10848 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10849 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10850 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10851 [Ben Laurie]
10852
10853 *) DES library cleanups.
10854 [Ulf Möller]
10855
10856 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10857 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10858 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10859 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10860 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10861 of v2.0.
10862 [Steve Henson]
10863
10864 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10865 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10866 [Bodo Moeller]
10867
10868 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10869 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10870 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10871 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10872 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10873 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10874 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10875 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10876 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10877 [Steve Henson]
10878
10879 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10880 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10881 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10882 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10883 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10884 value doesn't matter.
10885 [Steve Henson]
10886
10887 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10888 support mutable.
10889 [Ben Laurie]
10890
10891 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10892 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10893 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10894 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10895
10896 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10897 [Ulf Möller]
10898
10899 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10900 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10901 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10902
10903 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10904 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10905
10906 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10907 [Ben Laurie]
10908
10909 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10910 [Ben Laurie]
10911
10912 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10913 [Ben Laurie]
10914
10915 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10916 [Bodo Moeller]
10917
10918
10919 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10920
10921 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10922
10923 *) Updated some demos.
10924 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10925
10926 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10927 [Wu Zhigang]
10928
10929 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10930 [Steve Henson]
10931
10932 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10933 [Steve Henson]
10934
10935 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10936 instead of using a fixed path.
10937 [Bodo Moeller]
10938
10939 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10940 [Andy Polyakov]
10941
10942 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10943 [Richard Levitte]
10944
10945
10946 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10947
10948 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10949 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10950 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10951
10952 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10953 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10954 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10955 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10956 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10957 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10958 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10959 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10960 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10961 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10962 [Steve Henson]
10963
10964 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10965 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10966 [Steve Henson]
10967
10968 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10969 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10970 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10971 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10972 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10973
10974 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10975 [Bodo Moeller]
10976
10977 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10978 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10979 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10980 [Steve Henson]
10981
10982 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10983 [Ben Laurie]
10984
10985 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10986 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10987 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10988 key elements as negative integers.
10989 [Steve Henson]
10990
10991 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10992 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10993
10994 *) VMS support.
10995 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10996
10997 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10998 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10999 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11000 [Steve Henson]
11001
11002 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11003 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11004 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11005 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11006 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11007 [Bodo Moeller]
11008
11009 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11010 [Ulf Möller]
11011
11012 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11013 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11014 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11015 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11016
11017 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11018 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11019 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11020
11021 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11022 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11023 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11024 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11025 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11026 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11027 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11028 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11029 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11030
11031 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11032 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11033 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11034 does not influence s as it used to.
11035
11036 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11037 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11038 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11039 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11040 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11041 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11042 [Bodo Moeller]
11043
11044 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11045 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11046 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11047 key type.
11048 [Steve Henson]
11049
11050 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11051 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11052 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11053 and 'x509').
11054 [Steve Henson]
11055
11056 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11057 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11058 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11059 extension option.
11060 [Steve Henson]
11061
11062 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11063 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11064 [Ben Laurie]
11065
11066 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11067 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11068
11069 *) Support Mingw32.
11070 [Ulf Möller]
11071
11072 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11073 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11074
11075 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11076 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11077
11078 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11079 [Ulf Möller]
11080
11081 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11082 [Anonymous]
11083
11084 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11085 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11086
11087 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11088 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11089 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11090 DER-encoded.)
11091 [Bodo Moeller]
11092
11093 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11094 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11095 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11096 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11097 now it really counts the depth.
11098 [Bodo Moeller]
11099
11100 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11101 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11102 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11103 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11104 didn't match the private key).
11105
11106 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11107 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11108 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11109 [Bodo Moeller]
11110
11111 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11112 [Ulf Möller]
11113
11114 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11115 David Harris.
11116 [Bodo Moeller]
11117
11118 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11119 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11120 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11121 [Bodo Moeller]
11122
11123 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11124 [Bodo Moeller]
11125
11126 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11127 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11128 such as /usr/local/bin.
11129 [Bodo Moeller]
11130
11131 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11132 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11133
11134 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11135 [Ulf Möller]
11136
11137 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11138 extension adding in x509 utility.
11139 [Steve Henson]
11140
11141 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11142 [Ulf Möller]
11143
11144 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11145 prototypes.
11146 [Steve Henson]
11147
11148 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11149 [Ulf Möller]
11150
11151 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11152 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11153 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11154 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11155 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11156 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11157 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11158 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11159 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11160 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11161 [Steve Henson]
11162
11163 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11164 [Bodo Moeller]
11165
11166 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11167 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11168 [Bodo Moeller]
11169
11170 *) Fix some race conditions.
11171 [Bodo Moeller]
11172
11173 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11174 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11175 [Steve Henson]
11176
11177 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11178 [Ulf Möller]
11179
11180 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11181 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11182 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11183 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11184
11185 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11186 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11187
11188 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11189 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11190 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11191
11192 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11193 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11194
11195 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11196 [Ulf Möller]
11197
11198 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11199 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11200
11201 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11202 [Ulf Möller]
11203
11204 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11205 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11206
11207 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11208 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11209 [Steve Henson]
11210
11211 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11212 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11213 [Ben Laurie]
11214
11215 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11216 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11217 [Steve Henson]
11218
11219 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11220 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11221 [Steve Henson]
11222
11223 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11224 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11225 [Steve Henson]
11226
11227 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11228 support typesafe stack.
11229 [Steve Henson]
11230
11231 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11232 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11233
11234 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11235 old X509V3 handling code.
11236 [Steve Henson]
11237
11238 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11239 [Ulf Möller]
11240
11241 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11242 [Bodo Moeller]
11243
11244 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11245 [Ben Laurie]
11246
11247 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11248 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11249
11250 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11251 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11252 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11253 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11254 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11255 [Ben Laurie]
11256
11257 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11258 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11259 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11260 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11261 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11262
11263 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11264 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11265 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11267
11268 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11269 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11270 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11271 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11272
11273 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11274 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11275 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11276 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11277 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11278 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11279 [Bodo Moeller]
11280
11281 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11282 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11283 [Bodo Moeller]
11284
11285 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11286 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11287 [Ulf Möller]
11288
11289 *) Tweaks to Configure
11290 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11291
11292 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11293 yet...
11294 [Steve Henson]
11295
11296 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11297 [Ulf Möller]
11298
11299 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11300 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11301 [Ulf Möller]
11302
11303 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11304 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11305 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11306 [Bodo Moeller]
11307
11308 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11309 [Bodo Moeller]
11310
11311 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11312 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11313 [Steve Henson]
11314
11315 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11316 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11317 to library startup routines.
11318 [Steve Henson]
11319
11320 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11321 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11322 codes along the way.
11323 [Steve Henson]
11324
11325 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11326 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11327 objects to objects.h
11328 [Steve Henson]
11329
11330 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11331 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11332 [Steve Henson]
11333
11334 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11335 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11336
11337 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11338 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11339 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11340
11341 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11342 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11343 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11344
11345 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11346 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11347 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11348
11349
11350 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11351
11352 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11353 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11354 [Ben Laurie]
11355
11356 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11357 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11358 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11359 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11360 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11361
11362 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11363 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11364 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11365 document.
11366 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11367
11368 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11369 Malloc, Free.
11370 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11371
11372 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11373 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11374
11375 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11376 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11377 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11378 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11379
11380 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11381 [Ben Laurie]
11382
11383 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11384 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11385 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11386 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11387 [Steve Henson]
11388
11389 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11390 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11391 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11392 [Steve Henson]
11393
11394 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11395 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11396 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11397 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11398 installed as `perl').
11399 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11400
11401 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11402 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11403
11404 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11405 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11406 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11407 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11408 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11409 [Steve Henson]
11410
11411 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11412 [Ben Laurie]
11413
11414 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11415 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11416 is horrible: I feel ill....
11417 [Steve Henson]
11418
11419 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11420 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11421 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11422 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11423 [Steve Henson]
11424
11425 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11426 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11427
11428 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11429 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11430 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11431 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11432
11433 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11434 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11435 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11436 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11437 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11438 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11439 openssl_bio.xs.
11440 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11441
11442 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11443 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11444
11445 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11446 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11447
11448 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11449 [Ben Laurie]
11450
11451 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11452 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11453 in CRLs.
11454 [Steve Henson]
11455
11456 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11457 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11458 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11459 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11460 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11461 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11462 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11463 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11464 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11465 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11466 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11467
11468 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11469 [Ben Laurie]
11470
11471 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11472 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11473 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11474 for linking it into DSOs.
11475 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11476
11477 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11478 Fixed.
11479 [Ben Laurie]
11480
11481 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11482 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11483 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11484 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11485 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11486 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11487
11488 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11489 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11490 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11491 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11492 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11493 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11494 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11495
11496 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11497 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11498 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11499 encryption.
11500 [Ben Laurie]
11501
11502 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11503 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11504 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11505 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11506 [Steve Henson]
11507
11508 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11509 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11510 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11511 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11512 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11513 field as blank.
11514 [Steve Henson]
11515
11516 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11517 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11518 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11519 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11520 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11521
11522 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11523 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11524 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11525
11526 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11527 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11528
11529 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11530 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11531 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11532 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11533 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11534 [Steve Henson]
11535
11536 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11537 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11538 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11539 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11540 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11541 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11542 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11543 [Ben Laurie]
11544
11545 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11546 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11547 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11548 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11549 [Ben Laurie]
11550
11551 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11552 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11553
11554 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11555 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11556 [Steve Henson]
11557
11558 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11559 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11560 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11561 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11562 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11563 (e.g. s_server).
11564 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11565 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11566 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11567 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11568 no way to reconfigure them.
11569 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11570 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11571 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11572 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11573 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11575
11576 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11577 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11578 recognized by the users.
11579 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11580
11581 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11582 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11583 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11584 already masked variable.
11585 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11586
11587 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11588 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11589
11590 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11591 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11592 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11593 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11594
11595 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11596 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11597 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11598
11599 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11600 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11601 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11602 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11603 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11604 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11605 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11606 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11607 now, too.
11608 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11609
11610 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11611 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11612 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11613
11614 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11615 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11616 config file.
11617 [Steve Henson]
11618
11619 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11620 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11621
11622 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11623 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11624 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11625 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11626 [Ben Laurie]
11627
11628 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11629 [Steve Henson]
11630
11631 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11632 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11633
11634 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11635 [Ben Laurie]
11636
11637 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11638 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11639 [Steve Henson]
11640
11641 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11642 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11643 [Steve Henson]
11644
11645 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11646 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11647 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11648 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11649 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11650 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11651 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11652 Ben Laurie]
11653
11654 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11655 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11656
11657 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11658 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11659 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11660 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11661 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11662
11663 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11664 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11665 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11666 [Steve Henson]
11667
11668 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11669 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11670 an example.
11671 [Steve Henson]
11672
11673 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11674 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11675 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11676
11677 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11678 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11679 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11680 build instructions.
11681 [Steve Henson]
11682
11683 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11684 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11685 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11686 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11687 [Steve Henson]
11688
11689 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11690 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11691 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11692 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11693 [Ben Laurie]
11694
11695 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11696 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11697 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11698 so it wasn't spotted.
11699 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11700
11701 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11702 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11703 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11704 vectors if you have them.
11705 [Ben Laurie]
11706
11707 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11708 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11709 [Ben Laurie]
11710
11711 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11712 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11713 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11714 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11715 If you do a:
11716 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11717 it will update them.
11718 [Steve Henson]
11719
11720 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11721 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11722 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11723 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11724 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11725 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11726 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11727 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11728
11729 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11730 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11731 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11732 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11733 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11734 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11735 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11736 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11737 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11738 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11739
11740 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11741 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11742 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11743 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11744 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11745 [Steve Henson]
11746
11747 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11748 INTEGER code.
11749 [Steve Henson]
11750
11751 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11752 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11753
11754 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11755 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11756
11757 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11758 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11759 [Ben Laurie]
11760
11761 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11762 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11763
11764 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11765 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11766
11767 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11768 [Steve Henson]
11769
11770 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11771 few typos.
11772 [Steve Henson]
11773
11774 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11775 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11776 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11777 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11778
11779 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11780 [Steve Henson]
11781
11782 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11783 [Steve Henson]
11784
11785 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11786 [Steve Henson]
11787
11788 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11789 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11790 [Steve Henson]
11791
11792 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11793 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11794 CA extensions.
11795 [Steve Henson]
11796
11797 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11798 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11799 [Steve Henson]
11800
11801 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11802 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11803 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11804 [Steve Henson]
11805
11806 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11807 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11808 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11809 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11810 properly to be processed.
11811 [Steve Henson]
11812
11813 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11814 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11815 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11816 [Ben Laurie]
11817
11818 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11819 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11820
11821 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11822 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11823 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11824 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11825 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11826 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11827 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11828 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11829 or delete all the .err files.
11830 [Steve Henson]
11831
11832 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11833 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11834 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11835 to regenerate it if needed.
11836 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11837 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11838
11839 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11840 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11841
11842 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11843 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11844 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11845 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11846 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11847 [Steve Henson]
11848
11849 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11850 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11851
11852 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11853 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11854
11855 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11856 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11857 error, but didn't set one).
11858 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11859
11860 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11861 [Ben Laurie]
11862
11863 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11864 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11865 [Steve Henson]
11866
11867 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11868 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11869
11870 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11871 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11872 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11873 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11874 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11875 OID is not part of the table.
11876 [Steve Henson]
11877
11878 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11879 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11880 [Ben Laurie]
11881
11882 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11883 [Ben Laurie]
11884
11885 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11886 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11887 was "1234").
11888 [Steve Henson]
11889
11890 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11891 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11892
11893 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11894 NULL pointers.
11895 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11896
11897 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11898 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11899
11900 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11901 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11902
11903 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11904 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11905
11906 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11907 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11908 [Ben Laurie]
11909
11910 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11911 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11912 [Steve Henson]
11913
11914 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11915 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11916
11917 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11918 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11919
11920 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11921 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11922
11923 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11924 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11925
11926 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11927 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11928 unused in the certificate verification process.
11929 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11930
11931 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11932 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11933 [Steve Henson]
11934
11935 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11936 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11937 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11938
11939 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11940 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11941 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11942 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11943 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11944
11945 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11946 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11947 [Steve Henson]
11948
11949 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11950 [Steve Henson]
11951
11952 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11953 [Paul Sutton]
11954
11955 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11956 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11957
11958 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11959 [Ben Laurie]
11960
11961 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11962 [Ben Laurie]
11963
11964 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11965 [Ben Laurie]
11966
11967 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11968 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11969 other error libraries.
11970 [Steve Henson]
11971
11972 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11973 [Steve Henson]
11974
11975 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
11976 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11977 be read in.
11978 [Steve Henson]
11979
11980 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11981 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11982 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11983 the new set of documentation files.
11984 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11985
11986 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11987 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11988 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11989 number of arguments.
11990 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11991
11992 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11993 [Ben Laurie]
11994
11995 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11996 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11997 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11998
11999 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12000 [Ben Laurie]
12001
12002 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12003 nextstep
12004 ncr-scde
12005 unixware-2.0
12006 unixware-2.0-pentium
12007 sco5-cc.
12008 [Ben Laurie]
12009
12010 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12011 before they are needed.
12012 [Ben Laurie]
12013
12014 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12015 [Ben Laurie]
12016
12017
12018 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]

12020 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12021 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12022 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12023
12024 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12025 [Paul Sutton]
12026
12027 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12028 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12029 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12030
12031 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12032 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12033 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12034
12035 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12036 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12038
12039 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12040 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12041
12042 *) Updated the README file.
12043 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12044
12045 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12046 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12047 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12048
12049 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12050 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12051 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12052
12053 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;

12067 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12068
12069 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12070 [Mark J. Cox]
12071
12072 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12073 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12074 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12075 summer 1998.

12089 [Eric A. Young]
12090
12091 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12092 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12093 available).
12094 [Eric A. Young]
12095

12153 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12154 [Eric A. Young]
12155
12156 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12157 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12158 [Eric A. Young]
