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

801 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
802 (CVE-2017-3736)
803 [Andy Polyakov]
804
805 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
806
807 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
808 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
809 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
810
811 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
812 (CVE-2017-3735)
813 [Rich Salz]
814
815 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
816
817 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
818 platform rather than 'mingw'.
819 [Richard Levitte]
820
821 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.

826 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
827
828 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
829
830 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
831 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
832 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
833 and servers are affected.

835 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).

840
841 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
842
843 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
844 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
845 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.

847 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
848 (CVE-2017-3731)
849 [Andy Polyakov]
850
851 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
852
853 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
854 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
855 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
856 of Service attack.
857
858 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
859 (CVE-2017-3730)
860 [Matt Caswell]
861
862 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
863
864 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
865 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
866 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
867 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
868 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
869 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
870 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
871 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
872 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
873 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
874 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
875 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
876 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
877
878 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

883
884 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
885
886 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
887 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
888 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.

890 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
891 (CVE-2016-7054)
892 [Richard Levitte]
893
894 *) CMS Null dereference
895
896 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
897 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
898 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
899 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
900 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
901 affected.
902
903 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
904 (CVE-2016-7053)
905 [Stephen Henson]
906
907 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
908
909 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
910 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
911 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
912 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
913 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
914 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
915 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
916 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
917 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
918 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
919 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
920 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
921 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
922 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
923
924 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
925 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
926 providing reproducible case.
927 (CVE-2016-7055)
928 [Andy Polyakov]
929
930 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,

933
934 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
935
936 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
937
938 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
939 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
940 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
941 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
942 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
943 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
944
945 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.

952
953 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
954
955 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
956 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
957 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
958 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
959 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
960 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
961 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

967 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
968
969 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
970 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
971 Denial Of Service attack.
972
973 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
974 (CVE-2016-6305)
975 [Matt Caswell]
976
977 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
978 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
979
980 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
981 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
982 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
983 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
984 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
985 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
986 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
987 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
988 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
989 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
990 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
991 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
992 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
993 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
994 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
995
996 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
997 that the connection fails
998 or
999 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1000 very little free memory
1001 or
1002 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1003 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1004 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1005 memory to service the multiple requests.
1006
1007 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1008 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1009 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1010 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1011 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1026 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1027
1028 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1029 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1030 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1031 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1032 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1033 non-ASCII password.
1034 [Andy Polyakov]
1035
1036 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1037 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1038 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1039 [Rich Salz]
1040
1041 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1042 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1043 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1044 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1045 [Matt Caswell]
1046
1047 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1048 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1049 success.
1050 [Matt Caswell]
1051
1052 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1053 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1054 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1055 no-ops and deprecated.
1056 [Matt Caswell]
1057
1058 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1059 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1060 were also closed.
1061 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1062
1063 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1064 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1065 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1066 [Rich Salz]
1067
1068 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1069 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1070 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1071 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1072 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1073 and the validity of object reference counter.
1074 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1075
1076 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1077 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1078 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1079 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1080 [Richard Levitte]
1081
1082 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1083 [Richard Levitte]
1084
1085 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1086 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1087 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1088 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1089
1090 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1091
1092 [Richard Levitte]
1093
1094 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1095 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1096 [Steve Henson]
1097
1098 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1099 [Andy Polyakov]
1100
1101 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1102 [Rich Salz]
1103
1104 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1105 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1106 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1107 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1108 name and is used as is.
1109 [Richard Levitte]
1110
1111 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1112 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1113 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1114 [Rich Salz]
1115
1116 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1117 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1118 [Matt Caswell]
1119
1120 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1121 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1122 algorithms.
1123 [Matt Caswell]
1124
1125 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1126 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1127 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1128 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1129 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1130 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1131 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1132 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1133 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1134 [Matt Caswell]
1135
1136 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1137 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1138 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1139 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1140
1141 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1142 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1143 these have been added.
1144 [Matt Caswell]
1145
1146 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1147 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1148 functions for managing these have been added.
1149 [Richard Levitte]
1150
1151 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1152 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1153 these have been added.
1154 [Matt Caswell]
1155
1156 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1157 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1158 have been added.
1159 [Matt Caswell]
1160
1161 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1162 [Matt Caswell]
1163
1164 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1165 [Richard Levitte]
1166
1167 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1168 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1169 [Rich Salz]
1170
1171 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1172 [Richard Levitte]
1173
1174 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1175 [Rich Salz]
1176
1177 *) Add support for HKDF.
1178 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1179
1180 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1181 [Bill Cox]
1182
1183 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1184 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1185 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1186 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1187 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1188 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1189 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1190 [Matt Caswell]
1191
1192 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1193 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1194 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1195 [Catriona Lucey]
1196
1197 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1198 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1199 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1200 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1201 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1202 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1203 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1204
1205 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1206 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1207 [Todd Short]
1208
1209 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1210 [Todd Short]
1211
1212 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1213 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1214 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1215 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1216 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1217 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1218 default cipherlist.
1219 [Emilia Käsper]
1220
1221 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1222 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1223 [Rich Salz]
1224
1225 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1226 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1227 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1228 [Matt Caswell]
1229
1230 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1231 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1232 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1233 implemented by other servers.
1234 [Emilia Käsper]
1235
1236 *) Add X25519 support.
1237 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1238 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1239 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1240 key generation and key derivation.
1241
1242 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1243 X25519(29).
1244 [Steve Henson]
1245
1246 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1247 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1248 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1249 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1250 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1251
1252 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1253 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1254 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1255 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1256 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1257 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1258 that of a valid user.
1259 [Emilia Käsper]
1260
1261 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1262 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1263 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1264 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1265
1266 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1267 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1268
1269 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1270 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1271 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1272 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1273
1274 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1275 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1276 irrelevant.
1277 [Richard Levitte]
1278
1279 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1280 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1281 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1282 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1283 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1284 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1285
1286 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1287 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1288 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1289 [Richard Levitte]
1290
1291 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1292 [Rich Salz]
1293
1294 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1295 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1296 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1297 removed.
1298 [Richard Levitte]
1299
1300 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1301 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1302 old #define's might need to be updated.
1303 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1304
1305 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1306 [Rich Salz]
1307
1308 *) New "unified" build system
1309
1310 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1311 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1312
1313 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1314 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1315 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1316
1317 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1318 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1319 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1320 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1321 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1322
1323 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1324 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1325 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1326 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1327 libraries" in INSTALL.
1328
1329 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1330 [Richard Levitte]
1331
1332 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1333 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1334 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1335 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1336 [Matt Caswell]
1337
1338 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1339 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1340
1341 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1342 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1343 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1344 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1345 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1346 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1347 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1348 have been adapted accordingly.
1349 [Richard Levitte]
1350
1351 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1352 the leading 0-byte.
1353 [Emilia Käsper]
1354
1355 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1356 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1357 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1358 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1359 [Emilia Käsper]
1360
1361 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1362 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1363 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1364 'unsigned char*'.
1365 [Emilia Käsper]
1366
1367 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1368 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1369 [Emilia Käsper]
1370
1371 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1372 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1373 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1374 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1375 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1376 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1377 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1378
1379 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1380 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1381
1382 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1383 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1384 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1385 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1386 Text::Template.
1387
1388 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1389 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1390 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1391 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1392 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1393 %target).
1394 [Richard Levitte]
1395
1396 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1397 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1398 straightforward and less interdependent.
1399
1400 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1401 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1402 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1403
1404 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1405 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1406 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1407 installed.
1408 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1409 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1410 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1411 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1412
1413 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1414 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1415 [Richard Levitte]
1416
1417 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1418 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1419 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1420 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1421 is present).
1422 [Matt Caswell]
1423
1424 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1425 configuring.
1426 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1427
1428 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1429 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1430 before trying to build now.*
1431 [Rich Salz]
1432
1433 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1434 has changed.
1435 [Rich Salz]
1436
1437 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1438
1439 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1440 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1441 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1442 used to authenticate the peer.
1443
1444 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1445 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1446 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1447 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1448 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1449 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1450
1451 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1452 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1453 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1454 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1455 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1456 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1457
1458 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1459 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1460 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1461 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1462 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1463 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1464 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1465 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1466 version.
1467
1468 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1469 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1470 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1471 compile with later releases.
1472
1473 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1474 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1475 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1476 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1477 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1478 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1479
1480 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1481 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1482 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1483 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1484 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1485 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1486 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1487 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1488 [Kurt Roeckx]
1489
1490 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1491 [Andy Polyakov]
1492
1493 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1494 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1495 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1496 ECDSA_SIG format.
1497
1498 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1499 include the ec.h header file instead.
1500 [Steve Henson]
1501
1502 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1503 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1504 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1505 [Kurt Roeckx]
1506
1507 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1508 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1509 were added:
1510
1511 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1512 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1513
1514 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1515 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1516 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1517
1518 Additional changes:
1519 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1520 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1521 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1522 an already created structure.
1523 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1524 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1525 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1526 for deprecated builds.
1527 [Richard Levitte]
1528
1529 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1530 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1531 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1532 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1533 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1534 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1535 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1536 [Matt Caswell]
1537
1538 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1539 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1540 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1541 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1542 [Kurt Roeckx]
1543
1544 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1545 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1546 [Kurt Roeckx]
1547
1548 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1549 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1550 [Kurt Roeckx]
1551
1552 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1553 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1554 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1555 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1556 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1557 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1558 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1559 also been removed.
1560 [Matt Caswell]
1561
1562 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1563 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1564 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1565 [Rich Salz]
1566
1567 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1568 [Rich Salz]
1569
1570 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1571 sureware and ubsec.
1572 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1573
1574 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1575
1576 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1577 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1578
1579 FOO *x;
1580
1581 it must be:
1582
1583 FOO x;
1584
1585 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1586 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1587
1588 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1589 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1590 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1591 SEQUENCE OF.
1592 [Steve Henson]
1593
1594 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1595 [Emilia Käsper]
1596
1597 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1598 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1599 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1600 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1601 [Matt Caswell]
1602
1603 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1604 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1605 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1606 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1607 [Emilia Käsper]
1608
1609 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1610 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1611 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1612
1613 *) New testing framework
1614 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1615 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1616 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1617 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1618 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1619 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1620
1621 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1622
1623 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1624 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1625
1626 [Richard Levitte]
1627
1628 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1629 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1630 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1631 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1632 [Rich Salz]
1633
1634 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1635 return an error
1636 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1637
1638 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1639 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1640
1641 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1642 original RSA_PSK patch.
1643 [Steve Henson]
1644
1645 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1646 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1647 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1648 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1649 [Matt Caswell]
1650
1651 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1652 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1653 [Richard Levitte]
1654
1655 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1656 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1657 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1658 [Emilia Käsper]
1659
1660 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1661 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1662 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1663 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1664 transferred.
1665 [Matt Caswell]
1666
1667 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1668 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1669 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1670 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1671 [Matt Caswell]
1672
1673 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1674 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1675 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1676 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1677 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1678 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1679 [Matt Caswell]
1680
1681 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1682 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1683 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1684 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1685 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1686 header file has been removed.
1687 [Matt Caswell]
1688
1689 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1690 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1691 [Matt Caswell]
1692
1693 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1694 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1695 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1696
1697 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1698 Added a test.
1699 [Rich Salz]
1700
1701 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1702 [Rich Salz]
1703
1704 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1705 sha256
1706 [Rich Salz]
1707
1708 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1709 [Matt Caswell]
1710
1711 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1712 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1713 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1714 [Steve Henson]
1715
1716 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1717 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1718 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1719 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1720 [Matt Caswell]
1721
1722 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1723 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1724 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1725 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1726 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1727 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1728 [Matt Caswell]
1729
1730 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1731 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1732 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1733 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1734 [Matt Caswell]
1735
1736 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1737 compatible client hello.
1738 [Kurt Roeckx]
1739
1740 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1741 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1742 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1743
1744 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1745 [Rich Salz]
1746
1747 *) Removed old DES API.
1748 [Rich Salz]
1749
1750 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1751 Sony NEWS4
1752 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1753 NeXT
1754 SUNOS
1755 MPE/iX
1756 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1757 DGUX
1758 NCR
1759 Tandem
1760 Cray
1761 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1762 [Rich Salz]
1763
1764 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1765 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1766 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1767 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1768 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1769 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1770 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1771 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1772 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1773 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1774 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1775 [Rich Salz]
1776
1777 *) Cleaned up dead code
1778 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1779 [Rich Salz]
1780
1781 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1782 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1783 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1784 [Rich Salz]
1785
1786 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1787 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1788 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1789 [Rich Salz]
1790
1791 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1792 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1793 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1794
1795 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1796 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1797 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1798
1799 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1800 compilation flags.
1801 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1802
1803 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1804 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1805 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1806
1807 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1808 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1809
1810 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1811 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1812 server.
1813
1814 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1815 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1816 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1817 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1818
1819 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1820 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1821 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1822 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1823
1824 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1825 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1826 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1827
1828 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1829 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1830 [Steve Henson]
1831
1832 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1833
1834 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1835 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1836
1837 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1838 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1839
1840 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1841 effect.
1842
1843 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1844
1845 [Steve Henson]
1846
1847 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1848 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1849 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1850 algorithms and include tests cases.
1851 [Steve Henson]
1852
1853 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1854 enveloped data.
1855 [Steve Henson]
1856
1857 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1858 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1859 [Steve Henson]
1860
1861 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1862 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1863
1864 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1865 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1866 [Steve Henson]
1867
1868 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1869 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1870 failures.
1871 [Steve Henson]
1872
1873 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1874 sign or verify all in one operation.
1875 [Steve Henson]
1876
1877 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1878 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1879 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1880 [Steve Henson]
1881
1882 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1883 [Steve Henson]
1884
1885 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1886 [Steve Henson]
1887
1888 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1889 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1890 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1891 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1892 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1893 [Steve Henson]
1894
1895 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1896 based on NID.
1897 [Steve Henson]
1898
1899 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1900 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1901 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1902 [Steve Henson]
1903
1904 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1905 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1906
1907 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1908 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1909 [Steve Henson]
1910
1911 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1912 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1913 [Steve Henson]
1914
1915 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1916 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1917 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1918 [Steve Henson]
1919
1920 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1921 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1922 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1923 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1924 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1925 requested amount of entropy.
1926 [Steve Henson]
1927
1928 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1929 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1930 [Steve Henson]
1931
1932 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1933 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1934 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1935 support.
1936 [Steve Henson]
1937
1938 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1939 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1940 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1941 [Steve Henson]
1942
1943 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1944 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1945 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1946 will never use XTS mode.
1947 [Steve Henson]
1948
1949 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1950 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1951 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1952 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1953 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1954 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1955 [Steve Henson]
1956
1957 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1958 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1959 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1960 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1961 [Steve Henson]
1962
1963 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1964 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1965 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1966 [Steve Henson]
1967
1968 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1969 [Steve Henson]
1970
1971 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1972 [Steve Henson]
1973
1974 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1975 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1976 [Steve Henson]
1977
1978 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1979 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1980 [Steve Henson]
1981
1982 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1983 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1984 [Steve Henson]
1985
1986 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1987 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1988 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1989 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1990 and rename any affected symbols.
1991 [Steve Henson]
1992
1993 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1994 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1995 [Steve Henson]
1996
1997 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1998 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1999 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2000 [Steve Henson]
2001
2002 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2003 [Steve Henson]
2004
2005 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2006 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2007 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2008 [Steve Henson]
2009
2010 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2011 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2012 [Steve Henson]
2013
2014 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2015 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2016 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2017 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2018 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2019 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2020 set before the key.
2021 [Steve Henson]
2022
2023 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2024 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2025 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2026 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2027 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2028 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2029 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2030 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2031 [Steve Henson]
2032
2033 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2034 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2035 [Steve Henson]
2036
2037 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2038
2039 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2040 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2041
2042 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2043 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2044 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2045 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2046 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2047 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2048
2049 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2050 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2051 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2052 security.
2053 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2054
2055 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2056 parameters by name.
2057 [Steve Henson]
2058
2059 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2060 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2061 [Steve Henson]
2062
2063 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2064 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2065 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2066 [Steve Henson]
2067
2068 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2069 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2070 multi-process servers.
2071 [Steve Henson]
2072
2073 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2074 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2075 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2076 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2077 RAND_METHOD structure.
2078 [Steve Henson]
2079
2080 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2081 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2082 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2083 whose return value is often ignored.
2084 [Steve Henson]
2085
2086 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2087 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2088 validated when establishing a connection.

2091 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2092
2093 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2094
2095 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2096 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2097 AES-NI.
2098
2099 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2100 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2101 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2102 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2103 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2104 bytes.
2105
2106 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2107 (CVE-2016-2107)
2108 [Kurt Roeckx]
2109
2110 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2111
2112 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2113 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2114 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2115 corruption.
2116
2117 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2118 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2119 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2120 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2121 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2122 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2123
2124 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2125 (CVE-2016-2105)
2126 [Matt Caswell]
2127
2128 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2129
2130 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2131 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2132 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2133 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2134 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2135 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2136 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2137 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2138 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2139 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2140 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2141 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2142 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2143 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2144 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2145 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2146
2147 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2148 (CVE-2016-2106)
2149 [Matt Caswell]
2150
2151 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2152
2153 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2154 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2155 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2156
2157 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2158 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2159 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2160 applications are not affected.
2161
2162 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2163 (CVE-2016-2109)
2164 [Stephen Henson]
2165
2166 *) EBCDIC overread
2167
2168 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2169 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2170 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2171
2172 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2173 (CVE-2016-2176)
2174 [Matt Caswell]
2175
2176 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2177 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2178 [Todd Short]
2179
2180 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2181 default.
2182 [Kurt Roeckx]
2183
2184 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2185 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2186 [Kurt Roeckx]
2187
2188 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2189
2190 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2191 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2192 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2193 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2194
2195 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2196 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2197 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2198 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2199 will need to explicitly call either of:
2200
2201 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2202 or
2203 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2204
2205 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2206 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2207 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2208 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2209 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2210 (CVE-2016-0800)
2211 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2212
2213 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2214
2215 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2216 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2217 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2218 considered rare.
2219
2220 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2221 libFuzzer.
2222 (CVE-2016-0705)
2223 [Stephen Henson]
2224
2225 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2226
2227 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2228
2229 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2230 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2231 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2232 is configured.
2233
2234 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2235 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2236 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2237 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2238 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2239 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2240 that of a valid user.
2241 (CVE-2016-0798)
2242 [Emilia Käsper]
2243
2244 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2245
2246 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2247 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2248 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2249 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2250 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2251 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2252 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2253 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2254 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2255 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2256 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2257
2258 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2259 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2260 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2261 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2262 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2263
2264 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2265 (CVE-2016-0797)
2266 [Matt Caswell]
2267
2268 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2269
2270 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2271 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2272 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2273
2274 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2275 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2276 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2277 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2278 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2279 also occur.
2280
2281 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2282 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2283 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2284 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2285 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2286 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2287 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2288 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2289 as command line arguments.
2290
2291 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2292 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2293 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2294
2295 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2296 (CVE-2016-0799)
2297 [Matt Caswell]
2298
2299 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2300
2301 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2302 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2303 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2304 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2305 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2306
2307 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2308 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2309 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2310 http://cachebleed.info.
2311 (CVE-2016-0702)
2312 [Andy Polyakov]
2313
2314 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2315 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2316 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2317 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2318 [Emilia Käsper]
2319
2320 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2321 *) DH small subgroups
2322
2323 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2324 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2325 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2326 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2327 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2328 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2329 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2330 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2331 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2332 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2333
2334 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2335 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2336 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2337 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2338 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2339
2340 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2341 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2342 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2343 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2344
2345 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2346 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2347
2348 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2349 (CVE-2016-0701)
2350 [Matt Caswell]
2351
2352 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2353
2354 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2355 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2356 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2357 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
2358

2365
2366 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2367
2368 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2369 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2370 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2371 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2372 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2373 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2374 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2375 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2376 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2377 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2378 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2379 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2383 [Andy Polyakov]
2384
2385 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2386
2387 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2388 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2389 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2390 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2391 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2392 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2393 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2394 authentication.

2399
2400 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2401
2402 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2403 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2404 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2405 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

2411
2412 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.

2423
2424 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2425
2426 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2427 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2428 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2429 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2430 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2431 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2446 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2447
2448 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2449 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2450 field.
2451
2452 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2453 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2454 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2455 client authentication enabled.

2460
2461 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2462
2463 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2464 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2465 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2466 time string.
2467
2468 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2469 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2470 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2471 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2472 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2473 callbacks.

2478 [Emilia Käsper]
2479
2480 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2481
2482 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2483 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2484 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2485
2486 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2487 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2488 servers are not affected.
2489
2490 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2491 (CVE-2015-1790)
2492 [Emilia Käsper]
2493
2494 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2495
2496 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2497 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2498 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2499 the CMS code.
2500 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
2501 (CVE-2015-1792)
2502 [Stephen Henson]
2503
2504 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2505
2506 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2507 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2508 a double free of the ticket data.
2509 (CVE-2015-1791)
2510 [Matt Caswell]
2511
2512 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
2513 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
2514 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
2515 [Emilia Kasper]

2517 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2518
2519 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2520
2521 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2522 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2523 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2524
2525 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2526 University.
2527 (CVE-2015-0291)
2528 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2529
2530 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2531
2532 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2533 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2534 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2535 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2536 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2537 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2538 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2539 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2540
2541 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2542 (CVE-2015-0290)
2543 [Matt Caswell]
2544
2545 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2546
2547 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2548 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2549 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2550 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2551 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2552 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2553 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2554 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2555 server.
2556
2557 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2558 (CVE-2015-0207)
2559 [Matt Caswell]
2560
2561 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2562
2563 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2564 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2565 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2566 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2567 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2568 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2569 (CVE-2015-0286)
2570 [Stephen Henson]
2571
2572 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2573
2574 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2575 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2576 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2577 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2578 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2579 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2580 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2581
2582 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2583 (CVE-2015-0208)
2584 [Stephen Henson]
2585
2586 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2587
2588 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2589 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2590 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2591
2592 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2593 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2594 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2595 not affected.
2596 (CVE-2015-0287)
2597 [Stephen Henson]
2598
2599 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2600
2601 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2602 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2603 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2604
2605 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2606 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2607 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2608
2609 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2610 (CVE-2015-0289)
2611 [Emilia Käsper]
2612
2613 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2614
2615 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2616 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2617 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2618
2619 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2620 (OpenSSL development team).
2621 (CVE-2015-0293)
2622 [Emilia Käsper]
2623
2624 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2625
2626 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2627 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2628 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2629 (CVE-2015-1787)
2630 [Matt Caswell]
2631
2632 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2633
2634 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2635 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2636 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2637 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2638 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2639 SSL_client_methodv23)
2640 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2641 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2642
2643 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2644 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2645 output may be predictable.
2646
2647 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2648 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2649
2650 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2651 (CVE-2015-0285)
2652 [Matt Caswell]
2653
2654 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2655
2656 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2657 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2658 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2659 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2660 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2661 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2662
2663 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2664 commit 517073cd4b.
2665 (CVE-2015-0209)
2666 [Matt Caswell]
2667
2668 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2669
2670 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2671 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2672
2673 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2674 (CVE-2015-0288)
2675 [Stephen Henson]
2676
2677 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2678 [Kurt Roeckx]
2679
2680 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2681
2682 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2683 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2684 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2685 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2686 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2687 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2688 [Andy Polyakov]
2689
2690 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2691 (other platforms pending).
2692 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2693
2694 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2695 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2696 [Rob Stradling]
2697
2698 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2699 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2700 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2701 [Bodo Moeller]
2702
2703 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2704 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2705 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2706 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2707 [Andy Polyakov]
2708
2709 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2710 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2711
2712 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2713 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2714 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2715 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2716 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2717
2718 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2719 [Andy Polyakov]
2720
2721 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2722 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2723 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2724 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2725
2726 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2727 RSAZ.
2728 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2729
2730 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2731 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2732 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2733 for TLS encrypt.
2734
2735 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2736 [Andy Polyakov]
2737
2738 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2739 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2740 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2741 [Steve Henson]
2742
2743 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2744 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2745 [Steve Henson]
2746
2747 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2748 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2749 [Steve Henson]
2750
2751 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2752 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2753 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2754 algorithms and include tests cases.
2755 [Steve Henson]
2756
2757 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2758 structure.
2759 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2760
2761 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2762 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2763 [Steve Henson]
2764
2765 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2766 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2767 summary of the connection parameters.
2768 [Steve Henson]
2769
2770 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2771 of connection parameters.
2772 [Steve Henson]
2773
2774 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2775 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2776
2777 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2778 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2779 [Steve Henson]
2780
2781 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2782 [Steve Henson]
2783
2784 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2785 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2786 [Steve Henson]
2787
2788 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2789 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2790 [Steve Henson]
2791
2792 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2793 certificates.
2794 [Steve Henson]
2795
2796 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2797 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2798 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2799 [Steve Henson]
2800
2801 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2802 [Steve Henson]
2803
2804 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2805 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2806 [Steve Henson]
2807
2808 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2809 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2810 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2811 tracing.
2812 [Steve Henson]
2813
2814 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2815 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2816 [Steve Henson]
2817
2818 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2819 OID NID.
2820 [Steve Henson]
2821
2822 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2823 client to OpenSSL.
2824 [Steve Henson]
2825
2826 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2827 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2828 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2829 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2830 [Steve Henson]
2831
2832 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2833 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2834 [Steve Henson]
2835
2836 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2837 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2838 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2839 comparison.
2840 [Steve Henson]
2841
2842 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2843 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2844 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2845 use the certificate.
2846 [Steve Henson]
2847
2848 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2849 [Steve Henson]
2850
2851 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2852 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2853 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2854 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2855 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2856 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2857 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2858
2859 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2860 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2861
2862 [Steve Henson]
2863
2864 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2865 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2866 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2867 [Steve Henson]
2868
2869 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2870 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2871 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2872 supported signature algorithms.
2873 [Steve Henson]
2874
2875 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2876 [Steve Henson]
2877
2878 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2879 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2880 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2881 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2882 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2883 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2884 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2885 [Steve Henson]
2886
2887 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2888 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2889 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2890 to have similar checks in it.
2891
2892 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2893 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2894 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2895 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2896 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2897 [Steve Henson]
2898
2899 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2900 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2901 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2902 shared signature algorithms.
2903 [Steve Henson]
2904
2905 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2906 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2907 to support them.
2908 [Steve Henson]
2909
2910 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2911 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2912 it couldn't be removed.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2916 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2917 [Steve Henson]
2918
2919 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2920 functions. Add manual page.
2921 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2922
2923 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2924 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2925 a certificate.
2926 [Steve Henson]
2927
2928 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2929 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2930
2931 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2932 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2933 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2934 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2935 utility) or reject.
2936 [Steve Henson]
2937
2938 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2939 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2940 [Steve Henson]
2941
2942 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2943 platform support for Linux and Android.
2944 [Andy Polyakov]
2945
2946 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2947 [Andy Polyakov]
2948
2949 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2950 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2951 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2952 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2953 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2957 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2958 the new parameter format automatically.
2959 [Steve Henson]
2960
2961 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2962 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2963 [Steve Henson]
2964
2965 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2966 [Steve Henson]
2967
2968 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2969 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2970 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2971 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2972 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2973 [Steve Henson]
2974
2975 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2976 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2977 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2978 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2979 to set list of supported curves.
2980 [Steve Henson]
2981
2982 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2983 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2984 to print out received values.
2985 [Steve Henson]
2986
2987 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2988 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2989 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2990 [Steve Henson]
2991
2992 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2993 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2994 [Steve Henson]
2995
2996 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2997 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2998 [Steve Henson]
2999
3000 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3001 certificates.
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3005 the certificate.
3006 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3007 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3008 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3009
3010 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3011
3012 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3013 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3014
3015 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3016
3017 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3018 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3019 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3020 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3021 (CVE-2014-3571)
3022 [Steve Henson]
3023
3024 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3025 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3026 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3027 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3028 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3029 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3030 (CVE-2015-0206)
3031 [Matt Caswell]
3032
3033 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3034 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3035 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3036 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3037 (CVE-2014-3569)
3038 [Kurt Roeckx]
3039
3040 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3041 ECDH ciphersuites.
3042
3043 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3044 reporting this issue.
3045 (CVE-2014-3572)
3046 [Steve Henson]
3047
3048 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3049 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3050 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3051 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3052 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3053 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3054 (CVE-2015-0204)
3055 [Steve Henson]
3056
3057 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3058 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3059 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3060 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3061 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3062 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3063 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3064 this issue.
3065 (CVE-2015-0205)
3066 [Steve Henson]
3067
3068 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3069 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3070
3071 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3072 and can vary with the CTX.
3073 [Adam Langley]
3074
3075 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3076
3077 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3078 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3079 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3080 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3081 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3082
3083 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3084
3085 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3086 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3087
3088 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3089
3090 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3091 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3092 errors for some broken certificates.
3093
3094 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3095
3096 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3097
3098 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3099 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3100
3101 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3102 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3103 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3104 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3105
3106 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3107 of the OpenSSL core team.
3108
3109 (CVE-2014-8275)
3110 [Steve Henson]
3111
3112 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3113 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3114 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3115 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3116 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3117 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3118 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3119 the OpenSSL core team.
3120 (CVE-2014-3570)
3121 [Andy Polyakov]
3122
3123 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3124 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3125 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3126 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3127 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3128
3129 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3130 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3131 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3132 [Emilia Käsper]
3133
3134 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3135 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3136 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3137 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3138 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3139
3140 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3141 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3142 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3143 [Emilia Käsper]
3144
3145 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3146
3147 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3148
3149 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3150 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3151 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3152 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3153 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3154 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3155 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3156
3157 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3158 (CVE-2014-3513)
3159 [OpenSSL team]
3160
3161 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3162
3163 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3164 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3165 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3166 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3167 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3168 attack.
3169 (CVE-2014-3567)
3170 [Steve Henson]
3171
3172 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3173
3174 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3175 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3176 configured to send them.
3177 (CVE-2014-3568)
3178 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3179
3180 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3181 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3182 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3183 (CVE-2014-3566)
3184 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3185
3186 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3187
3188 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3189 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3190 DigestInfo structures.
3191
3192 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3193
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3197
3198 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3199 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3200 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3201
3202 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3203 Group for discovering this issue.
3204 (CVE-2014-3512)
3205 [Steve Henson]
3206
3207 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3208 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3209 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3210 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3211 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3212
3213 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3214 researching this issue.
3215 (CVE-2014-3511)
3216 [David Benjamin]
3217
3218 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3219 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3220 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3221 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3222
3223 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3224 issue.
3225 (CVE-2014-3510)
3226 [Emilia Käsper]
3227
3228 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3229 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3230 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3231 (CVE-2014-3507)
3232 [Adam Langley]
3233
3234 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3235 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3236 Denial of Service attack.
3237 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3238 (CVE-2014-3506)
3239 [Adam Langley]
3240
3241 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3242 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3243 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3244 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3245 this issue.
3246 (CVE-2014-3505)
3247 [Adam Langley]
3248
3249 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3250 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3251 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3252
3253 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3254 issue.
3255 (CVE-2014-3509)
3256 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3257
3258 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3259 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3260 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3261 Denial of Service attack.
3262
3263 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3264 discovering and researching this issue.
3265 (CVE-2014-5139)
3266 [Steve Henson]
3267
3268 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3269 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3270 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3271 output to the attacker.
3272
3273 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3274 (CVE-2014-3508)
3275 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3278 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3279 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3280 [Bodo Moeller]
3281
3282 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3283
3284 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3285 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3286 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3287
3288 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3289 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3290 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3291
3292 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3293 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3294 in a DoS attack.
3295
3296 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3297 (CVE-2014-0221)
3298 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3299
3300 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3301 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3302 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3303 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3304
3305 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3306 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3307
3308 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3309 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3310
3311 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3312 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3313 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3314
3315 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3316 compilation flags.
3317 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3318
3319 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3320 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3321 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3322
3323 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3324 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3325
3326 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3327
3328 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3329 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3330 server.
3331
3332 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3333 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3334 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3335 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3336
3337 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3338 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3339 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3340 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3341
3342 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3343 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3344 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3345
3346 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3347
3348 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3349 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3350 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3351 is at least 512 bytes long.
3352
3353 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3354
3355 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3356
3357 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3358 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3359 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3360 (CVE-2013-4353)
3361
3362 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3363 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3364 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3365 [Steve Henson]
3366
3367 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3368 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3369 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3370 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3371 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3372 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3373 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3374
3375 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3376
3377 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3378 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3379 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3380
3381 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3382
3383 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3384
3385 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3386 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3387 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3388
3389 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3390 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3391 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3392 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3393 (CVE-2013-0169)
3394 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3395
3396 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3397 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3398 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3399 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3400 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3401 (CVE-2012-2686)
3402 [Adam Langley]
3403
3404 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3405 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3406 [Steve Henson]
3407
3408 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3409 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3410
3411 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3412 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3413 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3414 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3415 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3416
3417 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3418 [Steve Henson]
3419
3420 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3421 if renegotiating.
3422 [Steve Henson]
3423
3424 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3425
3426 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3427 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3428
3429 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3430 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3431 (CVE-2012-2333)
3432 [Steve Henson]
3433
3434 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3435 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3436 [Steve Henson]
3437
3438 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3439 approved.
3440 [Steve Henson]
3441
3442 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3443
3444 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3445 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3446 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3447 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3448 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3449 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3450 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3451 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3452 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3453 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3454 [Steve Henson]
3455
3456 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3457 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3458 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3459 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3460 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3461 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3462 client side.
3463 [Andy Polyakov]

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

7689 [Ben Laurie]
7690
7691 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7692 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7693
7694 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7695 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7696 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7697 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7698 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7699 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7700 [Steve Henson]
7701
7702 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7703 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7704 [Richard Levitte]
7705
7706 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7707 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7708 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7709 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7710
7711 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7712 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7713 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7714 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7715 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7716 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7717 callback.
7718 [Richard Levitte]
7719
7720 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7721 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7722 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7723 and interrupts/cancellations.
7724 [Richard Levitte]
7725
7726 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7727 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7728 [Steve Henson]
7729
7730 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7731 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7732 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7733
7734 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7735 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7736 kind of callback.
7737 [Richard Levitte]
7738
7739 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7740 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7741 than this minimum value is recommended.
7742 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7743
7744 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7745 that are easily reachable.
7746 [Richard Levitte]
7747
7748 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7749 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7750
7751 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7752
7753 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7754 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7755 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7756 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7757 [Steve Henson]
7758
7759 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7760 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7761 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7762 [Steve Henson]
7763
7764 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7765 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7766 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7767 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7768 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7769 internally such as S/MIME.
7770
7771 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7772 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7773 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7774
7775 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7776 applications.
7777 [Steve Henson]
7778
7779 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7780 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7781 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7782 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7783
7784 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7785
7786 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7787
7788 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7789 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7790 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7791 handling.
7792 [Steve Henson]
7793
7794 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7795 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7796 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7797 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7798 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7799 a window system and the like.
7800 [Richard Levitte]
7801
7802 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7803 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7804 [Geoff]
7805
7806 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7807 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7808 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7809 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7810 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7811 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7812 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7813 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7814 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7815 ENGINE structure.
7816 [Geoff]
7817
7818 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7819 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7820 tag cache.
7821 [Steve Henson]
7822
7823 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7824 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7825 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7826 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7827 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7828 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7829 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7830 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7831 [Geoff]
7832
7833 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7834 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7835 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7836 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7837 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7838 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7839 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7840 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7841 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7842 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7843 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7844 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7845 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7846 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7847 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7848 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7849 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7850 [Geoff]
7851
7852 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7853 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7854 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7855 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7856 internal engine_int.h header.
7857 [Geoff]
7858
7859 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7860 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7861 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7862 modify their own ones).
7863 [Geoff]
7864
7865 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7866 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7867 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7868 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7869 later on via ctrl() commands.
7870 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7871 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7872 structural references.
7873 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7874 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7875 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7876 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7877 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7878 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7879 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7880 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7881 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7882 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7883 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7884 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7885 [Geoff]
7886
7887 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7888 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7889 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7890 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7891 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7892 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7893 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7894 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7895 [Bodo Moeller]
7896
7897 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7898 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7899 [Steve Henson]
7900
7901 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7902 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7903 [Steve Henson]
7904
7905 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7906 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7907 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7908 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7909 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7910 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7911 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7912 [Steve Henson]
7913
7914 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7915 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7916 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7917 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7918 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7919
7920 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7921 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7922 generator).
7923 [Bodo Moeller]
7924
7925 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7926
7927 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7928 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7929 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7930
7931 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7932 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7933
7934 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7935 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7936 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7937
7938 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7939 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7940
7941 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7942 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7943
7944 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7945
7946 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7947 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7948 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7949 [Bodo Moeller]
7950
7951 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7952 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7953 [Richard Levitte]
7954
7955 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7956 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7957 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7958 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7959 is 40 of more characters long.
7960 [Steve Henson]
7961
7962 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7963 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7964 pointers.
7965 [Steve Henson]
7966
7967 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7968 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7969 [Bodo Moeller]
7970
7971 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7972 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7973 might.
7974 [Steve Henson]
7975
7976 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7977
7978 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7979 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7980
7981 ASN1 error codes
7982 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7983 ...
7984 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7985 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7986 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7987 ...
7988 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7989 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7990
7991 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7992 [Bodo Moeller]
7993
7994 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7995 suffices.
7996 [Bodo Moeller]
7997
7998 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7999 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8000 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8001 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8002 and
8003 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8004
8005 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8006 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8007
8008 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8009 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8010 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8011 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8012 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8013 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8014
8015 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8016 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8017
8018 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8019 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8020
8021 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8022 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8023
8024 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8025 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8026 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8027 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8028
8029 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8030 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8031
8032 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8033 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8034
8035 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8036 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8037 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8038 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8039 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8040 [Richard Levitte]
8041
8042 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8043 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8044 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8045 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8046 [Steve Henson]
8047
8048 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8049 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8050 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8051 trust settings.
8052 [Steve Henson]
8053
8054 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8055 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8056 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8057 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8058 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8059 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8060 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8061 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8062 ocsp utility.
8063 [Steve Henson]
8064
8065 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8066 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8067 [Steve Henson]
8068
8069 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8070 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8071 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8072 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8073 [Steve Henson]
8074
8075 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8076 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8077 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8078 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8079 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8080 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8081 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8082 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8083 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8084 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8085 [Steve Henson]
8086
8087 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8088 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8089 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8090 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8091 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8092 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8093 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8094 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8095
8096 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8097 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8098 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8099 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8100 [Richard Levitte]
8101
8102 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8103 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8104 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8105 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8106 opensslconf.h.
8107 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8108 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8109 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8110 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8111 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8112 what is available.
8113 [Richard Levitte]
8114
8115 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8116 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8117 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8118 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8119 auto incremented.
8120 [Steve Henson]
8121
8122 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8123 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8124 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8125 [Steve Henson]
8126
8127 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8128 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8129 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8130 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8131 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8132 [Steve Henson]
8133
8134 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8135 [Steve Henson]
8136
8137 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8138 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8139 option to ocsp utility.
8140 [Steve Henson]
8141
8142 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8143 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8144 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8145 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8146 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8147 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8148 the request is nonce-less.
8149 [Steve Henson]
8150
8151 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8152 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8153 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8154 [Bodo Moeller]
8155
8156 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8157 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8158 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8159 [Steve Henson]
8160
8161 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8162 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8163 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8164 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8165 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8166 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8167
8168 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8169 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8170 appear to exist.
8171 [Steve Henson]
8172
8173 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8174 additional certificates supplied.
8175 [Steve Henson]
8176
8177 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8178 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8179 signature against.
8180 [Richard Levitte]
8181
8182 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8183 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8184 AES OIDs.
8185
8186 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8187 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8188 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8189 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8190 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8191 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8192 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8193 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8194 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8195
8196 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8197 request to response.
8198 [Steve Henson]
8199
8200 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8201 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8202 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8203 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8204 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8205 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8206 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8207 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8208 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8209 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8210 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8211 [Steve Henson]
8212
8213 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8214 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8215 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8216 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8217 [Steve Henson]
8218
8219 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8220 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8221
8222 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8223 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8224 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8225 [Steve Henson]
8226
8227 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8228 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8229 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8230 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8231 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8232
8233 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8234 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8235 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8236 [Steve Henson]
8237
8238 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8239 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8240 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8241 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8242 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8243 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8244 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8245 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8246
8247 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8248 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8249 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8250 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8251 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8252 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8253 [Steve Henson]
8254
8255 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8256 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8257 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8258 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8259 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8260 printout format cleaned up.
8261 [Steve Henson]
8262
8263 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8264 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8265 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8266 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8267 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8268 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8269 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8270 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8271 [Steve Henson]
8272
8273 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8274 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8275 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8276 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8277 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8278 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8279 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8280 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8281 [Steve Henson]
8282
8283 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8284 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8285 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8286 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8287 section to use.
8288 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8289
8290 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8291 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8292 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8293 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8294 [Steve Henson]
8295
8296 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8297 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8298 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8299 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8300 in the index file.
8301 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8302
8303 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8304 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8305 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8306 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8307
8308 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8309 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8310
8311 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8312 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8313 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8314 [Steve Henson]
8315
8316 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8317 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8318 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8319 [Bodo Moeller]
8320
8321 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8322 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8323 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8324 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8325 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8326 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8327 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8328 functions are provided:
8329
8330 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8331 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8332 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8333 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8334
8335 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8336 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8337 extended allocation function is enabled.
8338 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8339 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8340 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8341
8342 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8343 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8344 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8345 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8346 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8347 [Geoff Thorpe]
8348
8349 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8350 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8351 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8352 be queried.
8353 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8354 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8355 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8356 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8357
8358 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8359 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8360 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8361 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8362 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8363 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8364 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8365 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8366 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8367 [Richard Levitte]
8368
8369 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8370 provide utility functions which an application needing
8371 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8372 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8373 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8374
8375 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8376 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8377 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8378 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8379 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8380 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8381 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8382 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8383 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8384
8385 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8386 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8387 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8388 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8389 [Steve Henson]
8390
8391 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8392 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8393 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8394 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8395 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8396 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8397 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8398 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8399 will be added elsewhere.
8400 [Steve Henson]
8401
8402 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8403 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8404 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8405 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8406 [Steve Henson]
8407
8408 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8409 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8410 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8411 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8412 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8413 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8414 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8415 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8416 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8417 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8418 to produce the required SET OF.
8419 [Steve Henson]
8420
8421 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8422 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8423 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8424 [Richard Levitte]
8425
8426 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8427 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8428 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8429 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8430 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8431 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8432 [Steve Henson]
8433
8434 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8435 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8436 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8437 [Steve Henson]
8438
8439 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8440 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8441 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8442 [Richard Levitte]
8443
8444 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8445 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8446 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8447 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8448 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8449 [Steve Henson]
8450
8451 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8452 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8453 [Steve Henson]
8454
8455 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8456 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8457 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8458 certificates and CRLs.
8459 [Steve Henson]
8460
8461 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8462 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8463 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8464 [Steve Henson]
8465
8466 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8467 entries for variables.
8468 [Steve Henson]
8469
8470 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8471 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8472 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8473 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8474 [Bodo Moeller]
8475
8476 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8477 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8478 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8479 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8480 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8481 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8482 [Bodo Moeller]
8483
8484 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8485 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8486
8487 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8488 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8489 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8490 [Steve Henson]
8491
8492 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8493 print routines.
8494 [Steve Henson]
8495
8496 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8497 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8498 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8499 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8500 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8501 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8502 [Steve Henson]
8503
8504 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8505 [Steve Henson]
8506
8507 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8508 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8509 for now but they will eventually go away.
8510 [Steve Henson]
8511
8512 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8513 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8514 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8515 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8516 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8517 has also been converted to the new form.
8518 [Steve Henson]
8519
8520 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8521 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8522 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8523 for negative moduli.
8524 [Bodo Moeller]
8525
8526 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8527 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8528 [Bodo Moeller]
8529
8530 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8531 set.
8532 [Bodo Moeller]
8533
8534 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8535 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8536 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8537 type-specific callbacks.
8538 [Geoff Thorpe]
8539
8540 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8541 RFC 2712.
8542 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8543 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8544
8545 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8546 in sections depending on the subject.
8547 [Richard Levitte]
8548
8549 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8550 Windows.
8551 [Richard Levitte]
8552
8553 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8554 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8555 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8556 be handled deterministically).
8557 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8558
8559 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8560 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8561 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8562 [Bodo Moeller]
8563
8564 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8565 [Bodo Moeller]
8566
8567 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8568 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8569 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8570 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8571 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8572 [Bodo Moeller]
8573
8574 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8575 sign of the number in question.
8576
8577 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8578
8579 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8580 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8581 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8582 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8583 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8584 [Bodo Moeller]
8585
8586 *) New function BN_swap.
8587 [Bodo Moeller]
8588
8589 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8590 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8591 results on negative inputs.
8592 [Bodo Moeller]
8593
8594 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8595 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8596 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8597 [Bodo Moeller]
8598
8599 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8600 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8601 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8602 and add new functions:
8603
8604 BN_nnmod
8605 BN_mod_sqr
8606 BN_mod_add
8607 BN_mod_add_quick
8608 BN_mod_sub
8609 BN_mod_sub_quick
8610 BN_mod_lshift1
8611 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8612 BN_mod_lshift
8613 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8614
8615 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8616
8617 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8618 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8619
8620 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8621 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8622 be reduced modulo m.
8623 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8624
8625 #if 0
8626 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8627 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8628 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8629
8630 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8631 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8632 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8633 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8634 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8635 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8636 differing sizes.
8637 [Richard Levitte]
8638 #endif
8639
8640 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8641 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8642 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8643 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8644 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8645
8646 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8647 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8648 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8649 cause any problems.
8650 [Bodo Moeller]
8651
8652 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8653 [Richard Levitte]
8654
8655 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8656 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8657 [Richard Levitte]
8658
8659 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8660 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8661 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8662 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8663 time)
8664 [Richard Levitte]
8665
8666 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8667 [Richard Levitte]
8668
8669 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8670 [Richard Levitte]
8671
8672 *) Add the following functions:
8673
8674 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8675 ENGINE_load_chil()
8676 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8677 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8678 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8679
8680 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8681 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8682 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8683 libraries unless it's really needed.
8684
8685 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8686 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8687 declarations (they differed!).
8688 [Richard Levitte]
8689
8690 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8691 [Richard Levitte]
8692
8693 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8694 [Richard Levitte]
8695
8696 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8697 [Bodo Moeller]
8698
8699 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8700 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8701 [Richard Levitte]
8702
8703 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8704 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8705 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8706
8707 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8708 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8709 [Richard Levitte]
8710
8711 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8712 [Richard Levitte]
8713
8714 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8715 [Richard Levitte]
8716
8717 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8718 [Ben Laurie]
8719
8720 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8721 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8722 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8723
8724 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8725 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8726 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8727 different shared library filenames on each system.
8728 [Geoff Thorpe]
8729
8730 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8731 [Richard Levitte]
8732
8733 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8734 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8735 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8736 of two sections.
8737 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8738
8739 *) NCONF changes.
8740 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8741 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8742 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8743 binary backward compatibility.
8744 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8745 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8746 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8747 LDAP server.
8748 [Richard Levitte]
8749
8750 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8751 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8752 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8753 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8754 this case.
8755 [Steve Henson]
8756
8757 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8758 [Ben Laurie]
8759
8760 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8761 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8762 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8763 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8764 set.
8765 [Steve Henson]
8766
8767 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8768 [Richard Levitte]
8769
8770 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8771
8772 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8773 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8774 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8775
8776 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8777
8778 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8779
8780 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8781 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8782 [Steve Henson]
8783
8784 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8785
8786 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8787
8788 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8789 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8790
8791 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8792 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8793
8794 [Steve Henson]
8795
8796 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8797 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8798 specifications.
8799 [Steve Henson]
8800
8801 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8802 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8803 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8804 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8805
8806 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8807 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8808 [Richard Levitte]
8809
8810 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8811
8812 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8813 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8814 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8815 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8816 [Bodo Moeller]
8817
8818 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8819 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8820 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8821 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8822 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8823
8824 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8825 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8826 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8827 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8828 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8829 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8830 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8831 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8832 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8833 [Bodo Moeller]
8834
8835 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8836
8837 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8838 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8839 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8840 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8841 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8842
8843 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8844 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8845 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8846
8847 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8848
8849 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8850 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8851 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8852 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8853 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8854 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8855 [Geoff Thorpe]
8856
8857 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8858 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8859 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8860 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8861 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8862 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8863
8864 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8865 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8866 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8867
8868 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8869 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8870 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8871 EVP_cleanup().
8872 [Richard Levitte]
8873
8874 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8875 being properly terminated.
8876 [Richard Levitte]
8877
8878 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8879 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8880 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8881 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8882
8883 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8884 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8885 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8886 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8887 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8888 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8889 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8890 change.
8891 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8892
8893 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8894 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8895 [Bodo Moeller]
8896
8897 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8898 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8899 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8900 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8901 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8902 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8903 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8904 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8905
8906 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8907 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8908 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8909 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8910 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8911
8912 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8913 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8914 [Steve Henson]
8915
8916 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8917
8918 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8919 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8920 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8921
8922 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8923
8924 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8925 and get fix the header length calculation.
8926 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8927 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8928 Steve Henson]
8929
8930 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8931 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8932 assertions could call abort()).
8933 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8934
8935 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8936
8937 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8938 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8939 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8940 supplied buffer.
8941 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8942
8943 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8944 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8945 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8946 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8947
8948 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8949 [Nils Larsch]
8950
8951 *) New option
8952 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8953 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8954 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8955
8956 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8957 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8958 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8959 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8960 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8961 applications.
8962 [Bodo Moeller]
8963
8964 *) Changes in security patch:
8965
8966 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8967 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8968 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8969 F30602-01-2-0537.
8970
8971 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8972 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8973 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8974 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8975 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8976
8977 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8978 happen in practice.
8979 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8980
8981 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8982 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8983 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8984
8985 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8986 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8987 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8988
8989 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8990 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8991 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8992
8993 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8994
8995 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8996 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8997 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8998
8999 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9000 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9001
9002 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9003 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9004 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9005 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9006 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9007 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9008 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9009
9010 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9011 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9012 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9013 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9014 [Bodo Moeller]
9015
9016 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9017 [Bodo Moeller]
9018
9019 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9020 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9021 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9022 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9023 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9024 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9025
9026 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9027 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9028 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9029 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9030 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9031 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9032
9033 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9034 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9035 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9036 BN_generate_prime().)
9037
9038 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9039 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9040 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9041 better.
9042 [Bodo Moeller]
9043
9044 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9045 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9046 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9047
9048 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9049 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9050 when using non-blocking I/O.
9051 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9052
9053 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9054 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9055
9056 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9057 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9058 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9059
9060 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9061 configuration for the versions before that.
9062 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9063
9064 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9065 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9066 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9067 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9068 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9069
9070 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9071 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9072 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9073 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9074
9075 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9076 value is 0.
9077 [Richard Levitte]
9078
9079 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9080 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9081 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9082
9083 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9084 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9085
9086 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9087 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9088 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9089 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9090 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9091 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9092 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9093 session cache.
9094
9095 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9096 using a local variable.
9097 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9098
9099 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9100 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9101 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9102
9103 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9104 [Richard Levitte]
9105
9106 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9107 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9108
9109 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9110 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9111 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9112
9113 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9114
9115 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9116 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9117 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9118 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9119 [Bodo Moeller]
9120
9121 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9122 present.
9123 [Steve Henson]
9124
9125 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9126 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9127 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9128 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9129 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9130
9131 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9132 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9133 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9134
9135 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9136 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9137 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9138
9139 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9140 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9141 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9142 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9143
9144 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9145 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9146 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9147 modules).
9148 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9149
9150 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9151 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9152 from 0.9.7.
9153 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9154
9155 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9156 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9157 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9158 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9159
9160 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9161 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9162 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9163 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9164
9165 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9166 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9167
9168 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9169 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9170 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9171 [Bodo Moeller]
9172
9173 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9174 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9175 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9176 become invalid.
9177 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9178
9179 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9180 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9181 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9182 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9183 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9184 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9185 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9186 [Bodo Moeller]
9187
9188 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9189 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9190 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9191 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9192
9193 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9194 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9195 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9196 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9197 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9198 the client will at least see that alert.
9199 [Bodo Moeller]
9200
9201 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9202 correctly.
9203 [Bodo Moeller]
9204
9205 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9206 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9207 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9208
9209 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9210 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9211 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9212 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9213 HelloRequest.
9214
9215 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9216 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9217 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9218
9219 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9220 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9221 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9222 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9223 may leak via logfiles.)
9224
9225 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9226 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9227 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9228 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9229 the legal range.
9230 [Bodo Moeller]
9231
9232 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9233 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9234 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9235
9236 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9237 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9238 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9239 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9240 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9241 [Bodo Moeller]
9242
9243 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9244 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9245
9246 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9247 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9248 followed by modular reduction.
9249 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9250
9251 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9252 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9253 [Bodo Moeller]
9254
9255 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9256 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9257 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9258 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9259 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9260
9261 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9262 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9263
9264 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9265 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9266 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9267
9268 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9269 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9270 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9271 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9272 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9273 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9274 automatically.
9275 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9276
9277 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9278 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9279 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9280 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9281 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9282
9283 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9284 [Andy Polyakov]
9285
9286 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9287 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9288 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9289 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9290 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9291 to allow the necessary settings.
9292 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9293
9294 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9295 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9296 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9297 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9298 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9299
9300 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9301 dh->length and always used
9302
9303 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9304
9305 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9306 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9307 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9308 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9309 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9310 dh->length.
9311
9312 So switch back to
9313
9314 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9315
9316 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9317 otherwise.
9318 [Bodo Moeller]
9319
9320 *) In
9321
9322 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9323 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9324 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9325 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9326
9327 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9328 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9329 always reject numbers >= n.
9330 [Bodo Moeller]
9331
9332 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9333 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9334 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9335 variable) is not atomic.
9336 [Bodo Moeller]
9337
9338 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9339 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9340 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9341 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9342
9343 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9344 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9345
9346 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9347 little-endian MIPS.
9348 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9349
9350 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9351 [Richard Levitte]
9352
9353 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9354
9355 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9356 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9357 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9358 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9359 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9360 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9361 to traverse all of 'state'.
9362
9363 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9364 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9365 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9366
9367 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9368 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9369
9370 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9371 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9372 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9373 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9374 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9375 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9376 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9377 further strengthens the PRNG.
9378 [Bodo Moeller]
9379
9380 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9381 [Andy Polyakov]
9382
9383 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9384 an error message in this case.
9385 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9386
9387 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9388 [Steve Henson]
9389
9390 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9391 positive and less than q.
9392 [Bodo Moeller]
9393
9394 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9395 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9396 that itself.
9397 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9398
9399 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9400 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9401 [Bodo Moeller]
9402
9403 *) Fix OAEP check.
9404 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9405
9406 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9407 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9408 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9409 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9410 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9411 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9412 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9413 paper.)
9414
9415 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9416 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9417 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9418 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9419
9420 Both problems are now fixed.
9421 [Bodo Moeller]
9422
9423 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9424 (previously it was 1024).
9425 [Bodo Moeller]
9426
9427 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9428 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9429 [Steve Henson]
9430
9431 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9432 [Steve Henson]
9433
9434 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9435 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9436 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9437 [Steve Henson]
9438
9439 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9440 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9441 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9442 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9443 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9444 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9445 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9446 environment variables.
9447
9448 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9449 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9450 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9451 [Bodo Moeller]
9452
9453 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9454 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9455 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9456 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9457 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9458 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9459 [Bodo Moeller]
9460
9461 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9462 versions of 'test'.
9463 [Bodo Moeller]
9464
9465 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9466
9467 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9468 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9469
9470 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9471 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9472 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9473 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9474 CygWin.
9475 [Richard Levitte]
9476
9477 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9478 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9479 amount of data available.
9480 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9481 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9482
9483 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9484 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9485 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9486 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9487 [Bodo Moeller]
9488
9489 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9490 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9491 and UnixWare.
9492 [Richard Levitte]
9493
9494 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9495 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9496 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9497 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9498 [Ulf Moeller]
9499
9500 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9501 [Andy Polyakov]
9502
9503 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9504 [Richard Levitte]
9505
9506 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9507 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9508 [Steve Henson]
9509 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9510
9511 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9512 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9513 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9514 (but broken) behaviour.
9515 [Steve Henson]
9516
9517 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9518 it when found.
9519 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9520
9521 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9522 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9523 [Bodo Moeller]
9524
9525 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9526 did not exist.
9527 [Bodo Moeller]
9528
9529 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9530 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9531
9532 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9533 [Richard Levitte]
9534
9535 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9536 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9537 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9538
9539 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9540 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9541 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9542 [Steve Henson]
9543
9544 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9545 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9546 [Ulf Moeller]
9547
9548 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9549 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9550
9551 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9552
9553 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9554
9555 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9556 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9557 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9558 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9559 [Bodo Moeller]
9560
9561 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9562 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9563
9564 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9565 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9566 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9567
9568 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9569 was empty.
9570 [Steve Henson]
9571 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9572
9573 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9574 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9575 but the code is actually correct.
9576 [Steve Henson]
9577
9578 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9579 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9580 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9581 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9582 and leaves the highest bit random.
9583 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9584
9585 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9586 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9587 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9588 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9589 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9590 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9591 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9592 [Bodo Moeller]
9593
9594 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9595 [Ulf Moeller]
9596
9597 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9598 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9599 [Steve Henson]
9600
9601 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9602 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9603 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9604 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9605 headers.
9606 [Richard Levitte]
9607
9608 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9609 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9610 and break the signature.
9611 [Steve Henson]
9612 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9613
9614 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9615 DH ciphersuites.
9616 [Steve Henson]
9617
9618 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9619 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9620 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9621 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9622 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9623 [Bodo Moeller]
9624
9625 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9626 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9627
9628 *) ./config script fixes.
9629 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9630
9631 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9632 [Bodo Moeller]
9633
9634 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9635 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9636 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9637 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9638 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9639
9640 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9641 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9642 [Bodo Moeller]
9643
9644 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9645 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9646 [Steve Henson]
9647
9648 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9649 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9650 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9651 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9652
9653 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9654 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9655
9656 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9657 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9658 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9659 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9660 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9661
9662 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9663 [Bodo Moeller]
9664
9665 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9666 [Ulf Möller]
9667
9668 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9669 [Ulf Möller]
9670
9671 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9672 [Bodo Moeller]
9673
9674 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9675 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9676 [Bodo Moeller]
9677
9678 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9679 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9680 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9681 result of the server certificate verification.)
9682 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9683
9684 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9685 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9686 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9687 [Bodo Moeller]
9688
9689 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9690 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9691 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9692 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9693 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9694 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9695 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9696 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9697 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9698 [Bodo Moeller]
9699
9700 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9701 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9702 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9703 happening the other way round.
9704 [Geoff Thorpe]
9705
9706 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9707 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9708 [Bodo Moeller]
9709
9710 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9711 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9712 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9713 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9714 [Richard Levitte]
9715
9716 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9717 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9718
9719 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9720
9721 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9722 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9723 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9724 that.
9725
9726 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9727
9728 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9729
9730 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9731 static ones.
9732 [Richard Levitte]
9733
9734 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9735
9736 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9737 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9738 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9739 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9740 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9741
9742 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9743 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9744 matter what.
9745 [Richard Levitte]
9746
9747 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9748 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9749
9750 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9751
9752 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9753 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9754 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9755 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9756 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9757 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9758 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9759 by the Finished messages.
9760 [Bodo Moeller]
9761
9762 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9763 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9764
9765 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9766 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9767 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9768 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9769 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9770 appropriately.
9771 [Steve Henson]
9772
9773 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9774 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9775 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9776 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9777 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9778 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9779 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9780 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9781 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9782 together.
9783 [Steve Henson]
9784
9785 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9786 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9787 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9788 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9789
9790 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9791 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9792 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9793 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9794 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9795 the answer.
9796
9797 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9798 been tested well enough.
9799 [Richard Levitte]
9800
9801 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9802 it can return incorrect results.
9803 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9804 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9805 [Bodo Moeller]
9806
9807 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9808 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9809 include zero length content when signing messages.
9810 [Steve Henson]
9811
9812 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9813 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9814 [Bodo Möller]
9815
9816 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9817 [Richard Levitte]
9818
9819 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9820 wrong sign.
9821 [Ulf Möller]
9822
9823 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9824 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9825 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9826 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9827 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9828 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9829 [Richard Levitte]
9830
9831 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9832 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9833
9834 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9835 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9836
9837 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9838 random number < q in the DSA library.
9839 [Ulf Möller]
9840
9841 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9842 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9843 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9844 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9845 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9846 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9847 just makes things more complicated.)
9848 [Bodo Moeller]
9849
9850 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9851 from EGD.
9852 [Ben Laurie]
9853
9854 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9855 work better on such systems.
9856 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9857
9858 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9859 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9860 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9861 [Steve Henson]
9862
9863 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9864 if there was more than one signature.
9865 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9866
9867 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9868 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9869 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9870 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9871 [Richard Levitte]
9872
9873 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9874 rather than always using the current time.
9875 [Steve Henson]
9876
9877 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9878 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9879 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9880 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9881 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9882 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9883
9884 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9885 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9886
9887 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9888
9889 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9890 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9891 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9892 the same hash value.
9893
9894 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9895 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9896 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9897 with X509_STORE internally.
9898
9899 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9900 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9901
9902 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9903 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9904 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9905 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9906 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9907 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9908 entirely (maybe later...).
9909
9910 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9911
9912 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9913 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9914 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9915 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9916 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9917 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9918 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9919 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9920
9921 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9922 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9923
9924 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9925 to customise the verify behaviour.
9926 [Steve Henson]
9927
9928 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9929 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9930 [Steve Henson]
9931
9932 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9933 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9934 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9935 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9936 request is improperly encoded.
9937 [Steve Henson]
9938
9939 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9940 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9941 BIO_write(b, ...).
9942
9943 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9944 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9945
9946 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9947 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9948 words set to zero.)
9949 [Bodo Moeller]
9950
9951 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9952 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9953 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9954 [Bodo Moeller]
9955
9956 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9957 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9958 BIO/fp routines also added.
9959 [Steve Henson]
9960
9961 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9962 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9963
9964 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9965 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9966 demos/state_machine.
9967 [Ben Laurie]
9968
9969 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9970 generation and verification.
9971 [Steve Henson]
9972
9973 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9974 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9975 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9976 encode and decode it manually.
9977 [Steve Henson]
9978
9979 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9980 compile under VC++.
9981 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9982
9983 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9984 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9985 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9986 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9987
9988 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9989 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9990 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9991 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9992 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9993 [Steve Henson]
9994
9995 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9996 [Richard Levitte]
9997
9998 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9999 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10000 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10001
10002 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10003 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10004 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10005 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10006 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10007 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10008 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10009 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10010
10011 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10012 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10013
10014 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10015
10016 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10017 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10018 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10019
10020 [Richard Levitte]
10021
10022 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10023 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10024 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10025 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10026 [Richard Levitte]
10027
10028 *) MD4 implemented.
10029 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10030
10031 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10032 [Richard Levitte]
10033
10034 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10035 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10036 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10037 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10038 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10039 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10040 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10041 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10042 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10043 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10044 short or long names are found.
10045 [Steve Henson]
10046
10047 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10048 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10049
10050 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10051 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10052 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10053 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10054
10055 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10056 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10057 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10058 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10059 [Bodo Moeller]
10060
10061 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10062 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10063 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10064 [Richard Levitte]
10065
10066 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10067 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10068 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10069 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10070 to allow the various flags to be set.
10071 [Steve Henson]
10072
10073 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10074 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10075 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10076 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10077 dates to be checked.
10078 [Steve Henson]
10079
10080 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10081 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10082 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10083 [Steve Henson]
10084
10085 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10086 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10087 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10088 [Steve Henson]
10089
10090 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10091 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10092 [Bodo Moeller]
10093
10094 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10095 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10096 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10097 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10098 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10099 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10100 [Richard Levitte]
10101
10102 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10103 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10104 Random Numbers.
10105 [Ulf Möller]
10106
10107 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10108 DSA key.
10109 [Steve Henson]
10110
10111 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10112 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10113 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10114 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10115 form signing output easier to verify.
10116 [Steve Henson]
10117
10118 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10119 [Steve Henson]
10120
10121 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10122 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10123 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10124 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10125 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10126 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10127 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10128 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10129 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10130 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10131 [Steve Henson]
10132
10133 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10134
10135 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10136 the syntax given in objects.README.
10137 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10138 obj_mac.h.
10139 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10140 obj_mac.h.
10141
10142 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10143 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10144 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10145 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10146 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10147 consistent name changes.
10148 [Richard Levitte]
10149
10150 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10151 [Bodo Moeller]
10152
10153 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10154 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10155 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10156 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10157 [Richard Levitte]
10158
10159 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10160 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10161 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10162 of safestack.h .
10163 [Steve Henson]
10164
10165 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10166 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10167 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10168 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10169 [Steve Henson]
10170
10171 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10172 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10173 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10174 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10175 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10176 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10177 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10178 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10179 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10180 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10181 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10182 [Steve Henson]
10183
10184 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10185 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10186 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10187 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10188 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10189 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10190 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10191 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10192 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10193 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10194 [Steve Henson]
10195
10196 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10197 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10198 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10199 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10200
10201 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10202 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10203 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10204 omit any duplicate addresses.
10205 [Steve Henson]
10206
10207 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10208 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10209 [Bodo Moeller]
10210
10211 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10212 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10213 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10214 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10215 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10216 [Bodo Moeller]
10217
10218 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10219 software:
10220 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10221 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10222 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10223 Free => OPENSSL_free
10224 [Richard Levitte]
10225
10226 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10227 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10228 [Bodo Moeller]
10229
10230 *) CygWin32 support.
10231 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10232
10233 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10234 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10235 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10236 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10237 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10238 approach.
10239 [Geoff Thorpe]
10240
10241 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10242 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10243 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10244 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10245 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10246 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10247 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10248 [Geoff Thorpe]
10249
10250 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10251 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10252 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10253 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10254 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10255 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10256 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10257 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10258 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10259 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10260 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10261 [Bodo Moeller]
10262
10263 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10264 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10265 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10266 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10267 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10268
10269 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10270 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10271 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10272 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10273 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10274
10275 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10276 ciphers.
10277
10278 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10279 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10280 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10281 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10282
10283 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10284
10285 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10286 of macros.
10287
10288 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10289 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10290 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10291 flags.
10292
10293 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10294 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10295 any installed hardware versions can.
10296 [Steve Henson]
10297
10298 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10299 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10300 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10301 number.
10302 [Bodo Moeller]
10303
10304 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10305 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10306 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10307 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10308 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10309
10310 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10311 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10312 [Steve Henson]
10313
10314 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10315 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10316 [Richard Levitte]
10317
10318 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10319 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10320 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10321 features.
10322 [Steve Henson]
10323
10324 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10325 [Ulf Möller]
10326
10327 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10328 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10329 but no ssl client purpose.
10330 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10331
10332 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10333 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10334 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10335 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10336 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10337 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10338 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10339 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10340 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10341 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10342 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10343 [Steve Henson]
10344
10345 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10346 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10347 be obtained from the error queue.
10348 [Bodo Moeller]
10349
10350 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10351 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10352 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10353 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10354 [Bodo Moeller]
10355
10356 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10357 [Ulf Möller]
10358
10359 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10360 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10361 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10362 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10363 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10364 [Geoff Thorpe]
10365
10366 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10367 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10368 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10369 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10370 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10371 [Geoff Thorpe]
10372
10373 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10374 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10375 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10376 may not be NULL.
10377 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10378
10379 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10380 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10381 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10382 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10383 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10384 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10385 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10386 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10387 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10388 or "the configuration storage API"...
10389
10390 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10391
10392 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10393 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10394
10395 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10396
10397 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10398
10399 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10400 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10401 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10402 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10403 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10404 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10405 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10406
10407 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10408 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10409 [Richard Levitte]
10410
10411 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10412 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10413 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10414 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10415 [Bodo Moeller]
10416
10417 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10418 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10419 them in a portable way.
10420 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10421
10422 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10423
10424 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10425
10426 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10427 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10428
10429 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10430 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10431 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10432 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10433
10434 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10435 was larger than the MD block size.
10436 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10437
10438 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10439 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10440 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10441 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10442 components.
10443 [Steve Henson]
10444
10445 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10446 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10447 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10448
10449 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10450 discouraged.
10451 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10452
10453 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10454 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10455 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10456 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10457 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10458 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10459
10460 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10461 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10462
10463 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10464 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10465 [Bodo Moeller]
10466
10467 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10468 [Bodo Moeller]
10469
10470 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10471 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10472 its own key.
10473 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10474 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10475 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10476 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10477 [Bodo Moeller]
10478
10479 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10480 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10481 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10482 does not suppress any output.
10483 [Richard Levitte]
10484
10485 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10486 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10487 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10488 with all the associated security issues.
10489
10490 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10491 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10492 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10493 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10494 use the value in the default purpose.
10495 [Steve Henson]
10496
10497 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10498 and fix a memory leak.
10499 [Steve Henson]
10500
10501 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10502 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10503 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10504 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10505 [Bodo Moeller]
10506
10507 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10508 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10509 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10510 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10511 [Bodo Moeller]
10512
10513 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10514 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10515 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10516 [Bodo Moeller]
10517
10518 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10519 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10520 [Bodo Moeller]
10521
10522 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10523 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10524 which was free.
10525 [Steve Henson]
10526
10527 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10528 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10529 [Bodo Moeller]
10530
10531 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10532 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10533 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10534 [Bodo Moeller]
10535
10536 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10537 number generation fails.
10538 [Bodo Moeller]
10539
10540 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10541 [Bodo Moeller]
10542
10543 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10544 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10545
10546 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10547 [Ulf Möller]
10548
10549 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10550 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10551
10552 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10553 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10554
10555 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10556
10557 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10558 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10559 [Steve Henson]
10560
10561 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10562 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10563
10564 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10565 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10566 [Ulf Möller]
10567
10568 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10569 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10570 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10571 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10572 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10573 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10574
10575 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10576 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10577 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10578 for example.
10579 [Steve Henson]
10580
10581 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10582 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10583 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10584 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10585 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10586 counter, some don't.)
10587 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10588 counters or duplicate objects.
10589 [Steve Henson]
10590
10591 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10592 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10593 [Steve Henson]
10594
10595 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10596 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10597 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10598
10599 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10600 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10601 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10602 or -rand.
10603 [Ulf Möller]
10604
10605 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10606 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10607 [Steve Henson]
10608
10609 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10610 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10611 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10612 cipher list.
10613 [Steve Henson]
10614
10615 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10616 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10617 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10618 [Steve Henson]
10619
10620 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10621 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10622 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10623 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10624 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10625 should work without changes.
10626 [Richard Levitte]
10627
10628 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10629 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10630 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10631 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10632 must be defined. E.g.,
10633 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10634 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10635 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10636 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10637
10638 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10639 record layer.
10640 [Bodo Moeller]
10641
10642 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10643 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10644 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10645 [Steve Henson]
10646
10647 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10648 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10649 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10650 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10651 [Steve Henson]
10652
10653 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10654 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10655 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10656 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10657 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10658 is prompted for as usual.
10659 [Steve Henson]
10660
10661 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10662 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10663 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10664 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10665
10666 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10667 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10668 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10669 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10670 [Steve Henson]
10671
10672 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10673 [Andy Polyakov]
10674
10675 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10676 of seed file.
10677 [Steve Henson]
10678
10679 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10680 [Bodo Moeller]
10681
10682 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10683 [Steve Henson]
10684
10685 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10686 bits.
10687 [Ulf Möller]
10688
10689 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10690 [Ulf Möller]
10691
10692 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10693 [Andy Polyakov]
10694
10695 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10696 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10697 [Ulf Möller]
10698
10699 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10700 options to produce them.
10701 [Steve Henson]
10702
10703 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10704 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10705 [Ulf Möller]
10706
10707 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10708 for p == 0.
10709 [Ulf Möller]
10710
10711 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10712 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10713 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10714 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10715 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10716 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10717 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10718 [Steve Henson]
10719
10720 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10721 [Steve Henson]
10722
10723 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10724 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10725 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10726 [Bodo Moeller]
10727
10728 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10729 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10730
10731 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10732 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10733 [Ulf Möller]
10734
10735 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10736 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10737 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10738 has already seen).
10739 [Bodo Moeller]
10740
10741 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10742 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10743
10744 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10745 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10746 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10747 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10748 generation becomes much faster.
10749
10750 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10751 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10752 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10753 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10754 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10755 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10756 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10757 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10758 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10759 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10760 [Bodo Moeller]
10761
10762 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10763 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10764 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10765 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10766 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10767 trial division stage.
10768 [Bodo Moeller]
10769
10770 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10771 as ASN1_TIME.
10772 [Steve Henson]
10773
10774 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10775 [Steve Henson]
10776
10777 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10778 [Ulf Möller]
10779
10780 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10781 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10782 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10783 the comments.
10784 [Ulf Möller]
10785
10786 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10787 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10788 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10789 [Bodo Moeller]
10790
10791 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10792 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10793 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10794 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10795
10796 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10797 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10798 [Steve Henson]
10799
10800 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10801 [Ulf Möller]
10802
10803 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10804 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10805 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10806 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10807 [Ulf Möller]
10808
10809 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10810 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10811 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10812 [Ulf Möller]
10813
10814 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10815 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10816 (instead of parameters) in future.
10817 [Steve Henson]
10818
10819 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10820 when a new cipher list is set.
10821 [Steve Henson]
10822
10823 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10824 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10825 wrong.
10826
10827 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10828 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10829 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10830
10831 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10832 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10833 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10834 an error is flagged.
10835
10836 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10837 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10838 the readability was also increased :-)
10839 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10840
10841 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10842 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10843 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10844 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10845 as the root CA.
10846 [Steve Henson]
10847
10848 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10849 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10850 [Steve Henson]
10851
10852 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10853 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10854 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10855 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10856 instead.
10857
10858 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10859 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10860 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10861 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10862 because they handle more complex structures.)
10863 [Steve Henson]
10864
10865 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10866 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10867 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10868 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10869
10870 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10871 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10872 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10873 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10874 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10875 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10876 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10877 [Ulf Möller]
10878
10879 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10880 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10881 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10882 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10883 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10884 [Bodo Moeller]
10885
10886 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10887 [Bodo Moeller]
10888
10889 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10890 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10891 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10892 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10893 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10894 to use this.
10895
10896 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10897 code.
10898 [Steve Henson]
10899
10900 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10901 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10902 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10903 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10904 [Steve Henson]
10905
10906 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10907 [Ulf Möller]
10908
10909 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10910 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10911 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10912 international characters are used.
10913
10914 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10915 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10916 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10917 in ASN1 order.
10918 [Steve Henson]
10919
10920 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10921 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10922 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10923 request.
10924
10925 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10926 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10927 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10928 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10929 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10930 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10931
10932 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10933 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10934 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10935 be handled by the string table functions.
10936
10937 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10938 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10939 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10940 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10941 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10942 types at all.
10943 [Steve Henson]
10944
10945 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10946 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10947 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10948 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10949 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10950
10951 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10952 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10953 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10954 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10955 [Bodo Moeller]
10956
10957 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10958 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10959 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10960 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10961 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10962 SHA1.
10963 [Andy Polyakov]
10964
10965 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10966 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10967 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10968 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10969 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10970 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10971 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10972 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10973
10974 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10975 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10976 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10977 [Steve Henson]
10978
10979 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10980 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10981 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10982 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10983 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10984 support to pkcs8 application.
10985 [Steve Henson]
10986
10987 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10988 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10989 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10990 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10991 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10992 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10993 [Bodo Moeller]
10994
10995 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10996 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10997 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10998 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10999 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11000 consistency.
11001 [Bodo Moeller]
11002
11003 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11004 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11005 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11006 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11007 example.
11008 [Steve Henson]
11009
11010 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11011 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11012 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11013 and any application specific purposes.
11014
11015 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11016 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11017 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11018 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11019 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11020 if the certificate is self signed.
11021 [Steve Henson]
11022
11023 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11024 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11025 [Steve Henson]
11026
11027 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11028 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11029 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11030 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11031 [Steve Henson]
11032
11033 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11034 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11035 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11036 Update documentation.
11037 [Steve Henson]
11038
11039 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11040 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11041 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11042 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11043 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11044 [Steve Henson]
11045
11046 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11047 for details.
11048 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11049
11050 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11051 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11052 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11053 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11054 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11055 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11056 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11057 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11058 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11059 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11060
11061 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11062
11063 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11064 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11065 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11066 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11067 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11068
11069 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11070 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11071 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11072 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11073 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11074 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11075 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11076 request additional information:
11077 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11078 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11079
11080 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11081 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11082 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11083 options.
11084
11085 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11086 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11087
11088 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11089 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11090 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11091
11092 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11093 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11094
11095 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11096 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11097 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11098 algorithm.
11099 [Steve Henson]
11100
11101 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11102 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11103 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11104
11105 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11106 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11107 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11108 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11109 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11110 included in OpenSSL.
11111 [Steve Henson]
11112
11113 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11114 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11115 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11116 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11117 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11118 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11119 [Bodo Moeller]
11120
11121 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11122 PKCS12 structure.
11123 [Steve Henson]
11124
11125 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11126 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11127 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11128 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11129 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11130 structure.
11131 [Steve Henson]
11132
11133 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11134 need initialising.
11135 [Steve Henson]
11136
11137 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11138 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11139 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11140 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11141 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11142 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11143 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11144 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11145 be maintained manually.
11146
11147 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11148 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11149 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11150 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11151 work because people forget to call this function]
11152 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11153 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11154 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11155 [Steve Henson]
11156
11157 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11158 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11159 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11160 should be discouraged from doing it.
11161 [Ben Laurie]
11162
11163 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11164 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11165 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11166 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11167 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11168 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11169 [Steve Henson]
11170
11171 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11172 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11173 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11174
11175 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11176 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11177 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11178
11179 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11180 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11181 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11182 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11183 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11184 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11185
11186 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11187 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11188 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11189
11190 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11191 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11192 and vice versa.
11193
11194 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11195 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11196 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11197 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11198 [Steve Henson]
11199
11200 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11201 [Steve Henson]
11202
11203 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11204 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11205 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11206 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11207 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11208 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11209 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11210 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11211 keys so we should be OK.
11212
11213 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11214 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11215 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11216 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11217 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11218 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11219 stay in the name of compatibility.
11220
11221 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11222 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11223 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11224
11225 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11226 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11227 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11228 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11229 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11230 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11231 supplied key).
11232 [Steve Henson]
11233
11234 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11235 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11236 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11237 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11238 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11239 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11240 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11241 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11242 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11243 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11244 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11245 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11246 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11247 [Steve Henson]
11248
11249 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11250 [Steve Henson]
11251
11252 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11253 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11254 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11255 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11256 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11257 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11258 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11259 openssl verify ss.pem
11260 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11261 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11262 is OK.
11263 [Steve Henson]
11264
11265 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11266 (and add it to external session representation).
11267 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11268 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11269 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11270 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11271 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11272 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11273 security holes.
11274 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11275
11276 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11277 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11278 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11279 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11280
11281 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11282 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11283 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11284 [Steve Henson]
11285
11286 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11287 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11288 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11289 code.
11290 [Steve Henson]
11291
11292 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11293 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11294 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11295
11296 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11297 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11298 certificate auxiliary information.
11299 [Steve Henson]
11300
11301 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11302 the 'enc' command.
11303 [Steve Henson]
11304
11305 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11306 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11307 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11308 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11309 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11310 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11311 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11312 [Richard Levitte]
11313
11314 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11315 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11316 [Steve Henson]
11317
11318 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11319 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11320 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11321 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11322 [Steve Henson]
11323
11324 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11325 [Steve Henson]
11326
11327 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11328 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11329 [Steve Henson]
11330
11331 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11332 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11333 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11334 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11335 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11336 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11337 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11338 using the new 'x509' options.
11339
11340 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11341 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11342 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11343 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11344 for all purposes.
11345 [Steve Henson]
11346
11347 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11348 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11349 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11350 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11351 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11352 [Mark Cox]
11353
11354 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11355 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11356 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11357 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11358 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11359 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11360 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11361 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11362 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11363 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11364 [Steve Henson]
11365
11366 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11367 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11368 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11369 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11370 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11371 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11372 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11373 [Steve Henson]
11374
11375 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11376 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11377 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11378 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11379 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11380 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11381 openssl.cnf for more info.
11382 [Steve Henson]
11383
11384 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11385 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11386 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11387 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11388 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11389 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11390 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11391 md should be large enough anyway.
11392 [Bodo Moeller]
11393
11394 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11395 for handling the random seed file.
11396
11397 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11398 ca,
11399 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11400 s_client,
11401 s_server,
11402 x509 (when signing).
11403 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11404 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11405 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11406
11407 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11408 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11409 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11410 that support '-rand'.
11411 [Bodo Moeller]
11412
11413 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11414 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11415 [Bodo Moeller]
11416
11417 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11418 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11419 [Bill Perry]
11420
11421 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11422 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11423 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11424 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11425 is suitable.
11426 [Steve Henson]
11427
11428 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11429 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11430 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11431 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11432 [Steve Henson]
11433
11434 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11435 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11436 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11437 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11438 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11439 print out all the purposes.
11440 [Steve Henson]
11441
11442 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11443 functions.
11444 [Steve Henson]
11445
11446 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11447 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11448 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11449 single function call.
11450 [Steve Henson]
11451
11452 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11453 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11454 [Andy Polyakov]
11455
11456 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11457 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11458 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11459 [Steve Henson]
11460
11461 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11462 when producing the local key id.
11463 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11464
11465 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11466 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11467 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11468 "server.pem".
11469 [Steve Henson]
11470
11471 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11472 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11473 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11474 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11475 [Steve Henson]
11476
11477 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11478 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11479 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11480 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11481
11482 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11483 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11484 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11485 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11486
11487 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11488 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11489 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11490 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11491 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11492 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11493 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11494 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11495 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11496 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11497 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11498 trivial: move one line.
11499 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11500
11501 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11502 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11503 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11504 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11505 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11506 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11507 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11508 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11509 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11510 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11511 with an event loop for example.
11512 [Steve Henson]
11513
11514 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11515 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11516 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11517 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11518 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11519 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11520 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11521 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11522 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11523 [Steve Henson]
11524
11525 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11526 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11527 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11528 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11529 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11530 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11531 [Steve Henson]
11532
11533 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11534 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11535 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11536 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11537
11538 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11539 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11540 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11541 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11542 key generation.
11543 [Steve Henson]
11544
11545 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11546 (still largely untested)
11547 [Bodo Moeller]
11548
11549 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11550 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11551 [Steve Henson]
11552
11553 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11554 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11555 [Steve Henson]
11556
11557 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11558 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11559 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11560 [Bodo Moeller]
11561
11562 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11563 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11564 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11565 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11566 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11567 [Steve Henson]
11568
11569 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11570 [Andy Polyakov]
11571
11572 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11573 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11574 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11575 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11576 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11577 in ca.
11578 [Steve Henson]
11579
11580 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11581 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11582 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11583 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11584 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11585 [Steve Henson]
11586
11587 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11588 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11589 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11590 are otherwise ignored at present.
11591 [Steve Henson]
11592
11593 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11594 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11595 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11596 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11597 copied until the next read.
11598 [Steve Henson]
11599
11600 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11601 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11602 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11603 [Steve Henson]
11604
11605 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11606 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11607 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11608 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11609 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11610 associated functions.
11611 [Steve Henson]
11612
11613 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11614 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11615 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11616 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11617 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11618 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11619 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11620 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11621 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11622 memory BIOs.
11623 [Steve Henson]
11624
11625 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11626 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11627 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11628 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11629 [Bodo Moeller]
11630
11631 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11632 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11633 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11634 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11635 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11636 functionality.
11637 [Steve Henson]
11638
11639 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11640 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11641 under Win32.
11642 [Steve Henson]
11643
11644 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11645 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11646 extensions to be obtained and added.
11647 [Steve Henson]
11648
11649 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11650 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11651 [Bodo Moeller]
11652
11653 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11654
11655 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11656 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11657
11658 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11659 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11660
11661 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11662 program.
11663 [Steve Henson]
11664
11665 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11666 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11667 DH parameters contain its length).
11668
11669 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11670 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11671 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11672 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11673 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11674 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11675 utter importance to use
11676 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11677 or
11678 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11679 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11680 attacks may become possible!
11681 [Bodo Moeller]
11682
11683 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11684 [Bodo Moeller]
11685
11686 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11687 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11688 [Steve Henson]
11689
11690 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11691 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11692 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11693 or long name.
11694 [Steve Henson]
11695
11696 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11697 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11698 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11699 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11700 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11701 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11702 private key operations.
11703 [Steve Henson]
11704
11705 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11706 [Andy Polyakov]
11707
11708 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11709 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11710 to
11711 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11712 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11713 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11714 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11715 the password callback is called.
11716 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11717
11718 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11719
11720 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11721 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11722 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11723 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11724 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11725 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11726 this will work.
11727
11728 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11729 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11730 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11731 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11732 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11733 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11734 [Bodo Moeller]
11735
11736 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11737 [Andy Polyakov]
11738
11739 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11740 delete an unused file.
11741 [Ulf Möller]
11742
11743 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11744 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11745 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11746 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11747 [Steve Henson]
11748
11749 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11750 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11751 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11752 of an error.
11753 [Bodo Moeller]
11754
11755 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11756 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11757 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11758
11759 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11760 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11761 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11762 comparison" warnings.
11763 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11764 [Steve Henson]
11765
11766 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11767 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11768 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11769 [Steve Henson]
11770
11771 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11772 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11773
11774 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11775 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11776
11777 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11778 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11779 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11780
11781 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11782 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11783 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11784 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11785 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11786 this bug.
11787 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11788
11789 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11790 The interface is as follows:
11791 Applications can use
11792 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11793 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11794 "off" is now the default.
11795 The library internally uses
11796 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11797 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11798 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11799
11800 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11801 even the default) are now avoided.
11802
11803 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11804 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11805 than just having a counter.
11806
11807 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11808
11809 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11810 extensions.
11811 [Bodo Moeller]
11812
11813 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11814 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11815 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11816 Initial "mode" flags are:
11817
11818 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11819 a single record has been written.
11820 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11821 retries use the same buffer location.
11822 (But all of the contents must be
11823 copied!)
11824 [Bodo Moeller]
11825
11826 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11827 worked.
11828
11829 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11830 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11831
11832 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11833 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11834 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11835 [Steve Henson]
11836
11837 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11838 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11839 test programs.
11840 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11841
11842 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11843 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11844 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11845 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11846 point to the end.
11847 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11848 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11849
11850 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11851 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11852 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11853 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11854 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11855 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11856 [Steve Henson]
11857
11858 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11859 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11860 necessary function names.
11861 [Steve Henson]
11862
11863 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11864 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11865 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11866 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11867 [Bodo Moeller]
11868
11869 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11870 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11871 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11872 [Steve Henson]
11873
11874 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11875 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11876 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11877 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11878 such programs?)
11879 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11880 need locks.
11881 [Bodo Moeller]
11882
11883 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11884 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11885 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11886 [Bodo Moeller]
11887
11888 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11889 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11890 appropriate.
11891 [Bodo Moeller]
11892
11893 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11894 for the encoded length.
11895 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11896
11897 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11898 [Steve Henson]
11899
11900 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11901 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11902 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11903 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11904 [Steve Henson]
11905
11906 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11907 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11908 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11909
11910 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11911 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11912 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11913 unusual formatting.
11914 [Steve Henson]
11915
11916 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11917 to use the new extension code.
11918 [Steve Henson]
11919
11920 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11921 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11922 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11923 constant.
11924 [Steve Henson]
11925
11926 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11927 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11928 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11929 [Bodo Moeller]

11932 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11933 [Ben Laurie]
11934 #else
11935 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11936 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11937 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11938 #endif
11939
11940 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11941 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11942 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11943 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11944 [Ben Laurie]
11945
11946 *) DES library cleanups.
11947 [Ulf Möller]
11948
11949 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11950 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11951 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11952 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11953 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11954 of v2.0.
11955 [Steve Henson]
11956
11957 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11958 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11959 [Bodo Moeller]
11960
11961 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11962 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11963 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11964 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11965 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11966 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11967 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11968 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11969 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11970 [Steve Henson]
11971
11972 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11973 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11974 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11975 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11976 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11977 value doesn't matter.
11978 [Steve Henson]
11979
11980 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11981 support mutable.
11982 [Ben Laurie]
11983
11984 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11985 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11986 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11987 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11988
11989 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11990 [Ulf Möller]
11991
11992 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11993 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11994 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11995
11996 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11997 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11998
11999 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12000 [Ben Laurie]
12001
12002 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12003 [Ben Laurie]
12004
12005 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12006 [Ben Laurie]
12007
12008 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12009 [Bodo Moeller]
12010
12011
12012 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12013
12014 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12015
12016 *) Updated some demos.
12017 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12018
12019 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12020 [Wu Zhigang]
12021
12022 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12023 [Steve Henson]
12024
12025 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12026 [Steve Henson]
12027
12028 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12029 instead of using a fixed path.
12030 [Bodo Moeller]
12031
12032 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12033 [Andy Polyakov]
12034
12035 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12036 [Richard Levitte]
12037
12038
12039 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12040
12041 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12042 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12043 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12044
12045 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12046 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12047 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12048 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12049 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12050 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12051 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12052 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12053 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12054 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12055 [Steve Henson]
12056
12057 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12058 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12059 [Steve Henson]
12060
12061 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12062 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12063 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12064 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12065 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12066
12067 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12068 [Bodo Moeller]
12069
12070 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12071 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12072 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12073 [Steve Henson]
12074
12075 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12076 [Ben Laurie]
12077
12078 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12079 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12080 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12081 key elements as negative integers.
12082 [Steve Henson]
12083
12084 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12085 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12086
12087 *) VMS support.
12088 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12089
12090 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12091 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12092 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12093 [Steve Henson]
12094
12095 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12096 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12097 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12098 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12099 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12100 [Bodo Moeller]
12101
12102 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12103 [Ulf Möller]
12104
12105 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12106 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12107 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12108 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12109
12110 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12111 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12112 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12113
12114 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12115 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12116 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12117 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12118 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12119 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12120 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12121 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12122 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12123
12124 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12125 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12126 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12127 does not influence s as it used to.
12128
12129 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12130 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12131 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12132 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12133 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12134 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12135 [Bodo Moeller]
12136
12137 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12138 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12139 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12140 key type.
12141 [Steve Henson]
12142
12143 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12144 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12145 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12146 and 'x509').
12147 [Steve Henson]
12148
12149 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12150 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12151 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12152 extension option.
12153 [Steve Henson]
12154
12155 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12156 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12157 [Ben Laurie]
12158
12159 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12160 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12161
12162 *) Support Mingw32.
12163 [Ulf Möller]
12164
12165 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12166 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12167
12168 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12169 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12170
12171 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12172 [Ulf Möller]
12173
12174 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12175 [Anonymous]
12176
12177 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12178 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12179
12180 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12181 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12182 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12183 DER-encoded.)
12184 [Bodo Moeller]
12185
12186 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12187 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12188 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12189 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12190 now it really counts the depth.
12191 [Bodo Moeller]
12192
12193 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12194 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12195 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12196 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12197 didn't match the private key).
12198
12199 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12200 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12201 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12202 [Bodo Moeller]
12203
12204 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12205 [Ulf Möller]
12206
12207 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12208 David Harris.
12209 [Bodo Moeller]
12210
12211 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12212 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12213 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12214 [Bodo Moeller]
12215
12216 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12217 [Bodo Moeller]
12218
12219 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12220 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12221 such as /usr/local/bin.
12222 [Bodo Moeller]
12223
12224 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12225 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12226
12227 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12228 [Ulf Möller]
12229
12230 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12231 extension adding in x509 utility.
12232 [Steve Henson]
12233
12234 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12235 [Ulf Möller]
12236
12237 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12238 prototypes.
12239 [Steve Henson]
12240
12241 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12242 [Ulf Möller]
12243
12244 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12245 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12246 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12247 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12248 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12249 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12250 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12251 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12252 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12253 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12254 [Steve Henson]
12255
12256 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12257 [Bodo Moeller]
12258
12259 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12260 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12261 [Bodo Moeller]
12262
12263 *) Fix some race conditions.
12264 [Bodo Moeller]
12265
12266 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12267 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12268 [Steve Henson]
12269
12270 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12271 [Ulf Möller]
12272
12273 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12274 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12275 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12276 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12277
12278 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12279 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12280
12281 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12282 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12283 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12284
12285 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12286 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12287
12288 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12289 [Ulf Möller]
12290
12291 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12292 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12293
12294 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12295 [Ulf Möller]
12296
12297 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12298 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12299
12300 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12301 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12302 [Steve Henson]
12303
12304 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12305 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12306 [Ben Laurie]
12307
12308 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12309 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12310 [Steve Henson]
12311
12312 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12313 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12314 [Steve Henson]
12315
12316 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12317 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12318 [Steve Henson]
12319
12320 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12321 support typesafe stack.
12322 [Steve Henson]
12323
12324 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12325 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12326
12327 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12328 old X509V3 handling code.
12329 [Steve Henson]
12330
12331 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12332 [Ulf Möller]
12333
12334 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12335 [Bodo Moeller]
12336
12337 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12338 [Ben Laurie]
12339
12340 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12341 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12342
12343 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12344 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12345 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12346 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12347 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12348 [Ben Laurie]
12349
12350 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12351 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12352 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12353 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12354 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12355
12356 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12357 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12358 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12359 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12360
12361 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12362 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12363 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12365
12366 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12367 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12368 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12369 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12370 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12371 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12372 [Bodo Moeller]
12373
12374 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12375 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12376 [Bodo Moeller]
12377
12378 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12379 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12380 [Ulf Möller]
12381
12382 *) Tweaks to Configure
12383 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12384
12385 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12386 yet...
12387 [Steve Henson]
12388
12389 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12390 [Ulf Möller]
12391
12392 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12393 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12394 [Ulf Möller]
12395
12396 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12397 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12398 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12399 [Bodo Moeller]
12400
12401 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12402 [Bodo Moeller]
12403
12404 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12405 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12406 [Steve Henson]
12407
12408 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12409 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12410 to library startup routines.
12411 [Steve Henson]
12412
12413 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12414 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12415 codes along the way.
12416 [Steve Henson]
12417
12418 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12419 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12420 objects to objects.h
12421 [Steve Henson]
12422
12423 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12424 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12425 [Steve Henson]
12426
12427 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12428 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12429
12430 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12431 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12432 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12433
12434 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12435 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12436 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12437
12438 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12439 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12440 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12441
12442
12443 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12444
12445 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12446 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12447 [Ben Laurie]
12448
12449 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12450 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12451 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12452 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12453 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12454
12455 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12456 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12457 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12458 document.
12459 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12460
12461 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12462 Malloc, Free.
12463 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12464
12465 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12466 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12467
12468 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12469 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12470 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12471 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12472
12473 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12474 [Ben Laurie]
12475
12476 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12477 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12478 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12479 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12480 [Steve Henson]
12481
12482 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12483 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12484 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12485 [Steve Henson]
12486
12487 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12488 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12489 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12490 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12491 installed as `perl').
12492 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12493
12494 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12495 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12496
12497 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12498 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12499 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12500 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12501 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12502 [Steve Henson]
12503
12504 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12505 [Ben Laurie]
12506
12507 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12508 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12509 is horrible: I feel ill....
12510 [Steve Henson]
12511
12512 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12513 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12514 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12515 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12516 [Steve Henson]
12517
12518 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12519 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12520
12521 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12522 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12523 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12524 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12525
12526 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12527 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12528 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12529 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12530 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12531 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12532 openssl_bio.xs.
12533 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12534
12535 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12536 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12537
12538 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12539 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12540
12541 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12542 [Ben Laurie]
12543
12544 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12545 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12546 in CRLs.
12547 [Steve Henson]
12548
12549 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12550 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12551 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12552 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12553 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12554 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12555 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12556 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12557 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12558 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12559 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12560
12561 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12562 [Ben Laurie]
12563
12564 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12565 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12566 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12567 for linking it into DSOs.
12568 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12569
12570 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12571 Fixed.
12572 [Ben Laurie]
12573
12574 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12575 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12576 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12577 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12578 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12579 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12580
12581 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12582 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12583 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12584 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12585 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12586 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12587 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12588
12589 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12590 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12591 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12592 encryption.
12593 [Ben Laurie]
12594
12595 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12596 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12597 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12598 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12599 [Steve Henson]
12600
12601 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12602 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12603 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12604 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12605 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12606 field as blank.
12607 [Steve Henson]
12608
12609 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12610 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12611 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12612 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12613 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12614
12615 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12616 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12617 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12618
12619 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12620 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12621
12622 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12623 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12624 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12625 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12626 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12627 [Steve Henson]
12628
12629 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12630 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12631 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12632 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12633 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12634 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12635 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12636 [Ben Laurie]
12637
12638 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12639 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12640 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12641 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12642 [Ben Laurie]
12643
12644 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12645 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12646
12647 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12648 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12649 [Steve Henson]
12650
12651 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12652 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12653 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12654 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12655 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12656 (e.g. s_server).
12657 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12658 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12659 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12660 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12661 no way to reconfigure them.
12662 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12663 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12664 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12665 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12666 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12667 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12668
12669 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12670 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12671 recognized by the users.
12672 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12673
12674 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12675 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12676 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12677 already masked variable.
12678 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12679
12680 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12681 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12682
12683 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12684 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12685 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12686 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12687
12688 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12689 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12690 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12691
12692 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12693 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12694 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12695 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12696 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12697 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12698 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12699 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12700 now, too.
12701 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12702
12703 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12704 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12705 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12706
12707 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12708 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12709 config file.
12710 [Steve Henson]
12711
12712 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12713 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12714
12715 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12716 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12717 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12718 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12719 [Ben Laurie]
12720
12721 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12722 [Steve Henson]
12723
12724 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12725 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12726
12727 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12728 [Ben Laurie]
12729
12730 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12731 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12732 [Steve Henson]
12733
12734 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12735 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12736 [Steve Henson]
12737
12738 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12739 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12740 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12741 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12742 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12743 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12744 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12745 Ben Laurie]
12746
12747 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12748 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12749
12750 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12751 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12752 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12753 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12754 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12755
12756 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12757 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12758 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12759 [Steve Henson]
12760
12761 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12762 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12763 an example.
12764 [Steve Henson]
12765
12766 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12767 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12768 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12769
12770 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12771 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12772 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12773 build instructions.
12774 [Steve Henson]
12775
12776 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12777 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12778 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12779 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12780 [Steve Henson]
12781
12782 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12783 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12784 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12785 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12786 [Ben Laurie]
12787
12788 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12789 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12790 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12791 so it wasn't spotted.
12792 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12793
12794 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12795 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12796 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12797 vectors if you have them.
12798 [Ben Laurie]
12799
12800 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12801 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12802 [Ben Laurie]
12803
12804 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12805 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12806 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12807 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12808 If you do a:
12809 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12810 it will update them.
12811 [Steve Henson]
12812
12813 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12814 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12815 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12816 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12817 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12818 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12819 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12820 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12821
12822 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12823 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12824 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12825 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12826 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12827 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12828 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12829 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12830 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12831 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12832
12833 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12834 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12835 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12836 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12837 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12838 [Steve Henson]
12839
12840 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12841 INTEGER code.
12842 [Steve Henson]
12843
12844 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12845 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12846
12847 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12848 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12849
12850 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12851 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12852 [Ben Laurie]
12853
12854 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12855 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12856
12857 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12858 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12859
12860 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12861 [Steve Henson]
12862
12863 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12864 few typos.
12865 [Steve Henson]
12866
12867 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12868 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12869 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12870 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12871
12872 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12873 [Steve Henson]
12874
12875 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12876 [Steve Henson]
12877
12878 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12879 [Steve Henson]
12880
12881 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12882 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12883 [Steve Henson]
12884
12885 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12886 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12887 CA extensions.
12888 [Steve Henson]
12889
12890 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12891 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12892 [Steve Henson]
12893
12894 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12895 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12896 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12897 [Steve Henson]
12898
12899 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12900 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12901 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12902 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12903 properly to be processed.
12904 [Steve Henson]
12905
12906 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12907 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12908 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12909 [Ben Laurie]
12910
12911 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12912 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12913
12914 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12915 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12916 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12917 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12918 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12919 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12920 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12921 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12922 or delete all the .err files.
12923 [Steve Henson]
12924
12925 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12926 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12927 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12928 to regenerate it if needed.
12929 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12930 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12931
12932 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12933 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12934
12935 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12936 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12937 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12938 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12939 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12940 [Steve Henson]
12941
12942 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12943 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12944
12945 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12946 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12947
12948 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12949 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12950 error, but didn't set one).
12951 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12952
12953 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12954 [Ben Laurie]
12955
12956 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12957 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12958 [Steve Henson]
12959
12960 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12961 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12962
12963 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12964 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12965 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12966 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12967 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12968 OID is not part of the table.
12969 [Steve Henson]
12970
12971 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12972 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12973 [Ben Laurie]
12974
12975 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12976 [Ben Laurie]
12977
12978 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12979 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12980 was "1234").
12981 [Steve Henson]
12982
12983 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12984 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12985
12986 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12987 NULL pointers.
12988 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12989
12990 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12991 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12992
12993 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12994 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12995
12996 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12997 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12998
12999 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13000 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13001 [Ben Laurie]
13002
13003 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13004 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13005 [Steve Henson]
13006
13007 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13008 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13009
13010 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13011 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13012
13013 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13014 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13015
13016 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13017 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13018
13019 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13020 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13021 unused in the certificate verification process.
13022 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13023
13024 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13025 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13026 [Steve Henson]
13027
13028 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13029 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13030 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13031
13032 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13033 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13034 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13035 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13036 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13037
13038 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13039 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13040 [Steve Henson]
13041
13042 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13043 [Steve Henson]
13044
13045 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13046 [Paul Sutton]
13047
13048 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13049 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13050
13051 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13052 [Ben Laurie]
13053
13054 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13055 [Ben Laurie]
13056
13057 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13058 [Ben Laurie]
13059
13060 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13061 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13062 other error libraries.
13063 [Steve Henson]
13064
13065 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13066 [Steve Henson]
13067
13068 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13069 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13070 be read in.
13071 [Steve Henson]
13072
13073 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13074 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13075 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13076 the new set of documentation files.
13077 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13078
13079 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13080 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13081 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13082 number of arguments.
13083 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13084
13085 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13086 [Ben Laurie]
13087
13088 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13089 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13090 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13091
13092 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13093 [Ben Laurie]
13094
13095 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13096 nextstep
13097 ncr-scde
13098 unixware-2.0
13099 unixware-2.0-pentium
13100 sco5-cc.
13101 [Ben Laurie]
13102
13103 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13104 before they are needed.
13105 [Ben Laurie]
13106
13107 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13108 [Ben Laurie]
13109
13110
13111 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13112
13113 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13114 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13116
13117 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13118 [Paul Sutton]
13119
13120 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13121 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13122 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13123
13124 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13125 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13126 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13127
13128 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13129 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13130 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13131
13132 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13133 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13134
13135 *) Updated the README file.
13136 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13137
13138 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13139 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13140 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13141
13142 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13143 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13144 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13145
13146 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13147 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13148 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13149 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13150 o removed obsolete TODO file
13151 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13152 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13153
13154 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13155 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13156 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13157 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13158 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13159 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13160 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13161
13162 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13163 [Mark J. Cox]
13164
13165 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13166 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13167 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13168 summer 1998.
13169 [The OpenSSL Project]
13170
13171
13172 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13173
13174 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13175 [Eric A. Young]
13176
13177 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13178 [Eric A. Young]
13179
13180 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13181 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13182 [Eric A. Young]
13183
13184 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13185 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13186 available).
13187 [Eric A. Young]
13188
13189 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13190 binary structures
13191 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13192
13193 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13194 [Eric A. Young]
13195
13196 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13197 [Eric A. Young]
13198
13199 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13200 [Eric A. Young]
13201
13202 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13203 [Eric A. Young]
13204
13205 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13206 [Eric A. Young]
13207
13208 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13209 [Eric A. Young]
13210
13211 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13212 [Eric A. Young]
13213
13214 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13215 [Eric A. Young]
13216
13217 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13218 [Eric A. Young]
13219
13220 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13221 [Eric A. Young]
13222
13223 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13224 [Eric A. Young]
13225
13226 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13227 [Eric A. Young]
13228
13229 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13230 [Eric A. Young]
13231
13232 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13233 [Eric A. Young]
13234
13235 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13236 [Eric A. Young]
13237
13238 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13239 [Eric A. Young]
13240
13241 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13242 [Eric A. Young]
13243
13244 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13245 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13246 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13247 [Eric A. Young]
13248
13249 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13250 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13251 [Eric A. Young]
13252
13253 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13254 [Eric A. Young]
13255
13256 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13257 [Eric A. Young]
13258
13259 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
13260 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13261 [Eric A. Young]
13262
13263 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
13264 [Eric A. Young]
13265
13266 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
13267 [Eric A. Young]
13268
13269 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
13270 bytes sent in the client random.
13271 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
