4
5 Changes between 0.9.8zc and 0.9.8zd [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
8 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
9 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
10 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
11 (CVE-2014-3571)
12 [Steve Henson]
13
14 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
15 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
16 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
17 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
18 (CVE-2014-3569)
19 [Kurt Roeckx]
20
21 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
22 ECDH ciphersuites.
23
24 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
25 reporting this issue.
26 (CVE-2014-3572)
27 [Steve Henson]
28
29 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
30 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
31 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
32 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
33 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
34 INRIA or reporting this issue.
35 (CVE-2015-0204)
36 [Steve Henson]
37
38 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
39
40 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
41 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
42 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
43 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
44 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
45
46 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
47
48 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
49 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
50
51 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
52
53 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
54 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
55 errors for some broken certificates.
56
57 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
58
59 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
60
61 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
62 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
63
64 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
65 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
66 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
67 (negative or with leading zeroes).
68
69 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
70 of the OpenSSL core team.
71
72 (CVE-2014-8275)
73 [Steve Henson]
74
75 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
76 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
77 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
78 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
79 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
80 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
81 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
82 the OpenSSL core team.
83 (CVE-2014-3570)
84 [Andy Polyakov]
85
86 Changes between 0.9.8zb and 0.9.8zc [15 Oct 2014]
87
88 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
89
90 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
91 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
92 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
93 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
94 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
95 attack.
96 (CVE-2014-3567)
97 [Steve Henson]
98
99 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
100
101 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
102 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
103 configured to send them.
104 (CVE-2014-3568)
105 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
106
107 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
108 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
109 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
110 (CVE-2014-3566)
111 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
112
113 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
114
115 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
116 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
117 DigestInfo structures.
118
119 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
120
121 [Steve Henson]
122
123 Changes between 0.9.8za and 0.9.8zb [6 Aug 2014]
124
125 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
126 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
127 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
128 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
129
130 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
131 issue.
132 (CVE-2014-3510)
133 [Emilia Käsper]
134
135 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
136 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
137 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
138 (CVE-2014-3507)
139 [Adam Langley]
140
141 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
142 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
143 Denial of Service attack.
144 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
145 (CVE-2014-3506)
146 [Adam Langley]
147
148 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
149 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
150 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
151 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
152 this issue.
153 (CVE-2014-3505)
154 [Adam Langley]
155
156 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
157 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
158 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
159 output to the attacker.
160
161 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
162 (CVE-2014-3508)
163 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
164
165 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
166 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
167 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
168 [Bodo Moeller]
169
170 Changes between 0.9.8y and 0.9.8za [5 Jun 2014]
171
172 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
173 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
174 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
175
176 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
177 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
178 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
179
180 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
181 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
182 in a DoS attack.
183
184 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
185 (CVE-2014-0221)
186 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
187
188 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
189 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
190 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
191 code on a vulnerable client or server.
192
193 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
194 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
195
196 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
197 are subject to a denial of service attack.
198
199 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
200 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
201 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
202
203 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
204 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
205 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
206 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
207
208 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
209 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
210 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
211
212 Thanks to mancha for backporting the fix to the 0.9.8 branch.
213
214 *) Fix handling of warning-level alerts in SSL23 client mode so they
215 don't cause client-side termination (eg. on SNI unrecognized_name
216 warnings). Add client and server support for six additional alerts
217 per RFC 6066 and RFC 4279.
218 [mancha]
219
220 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
221 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
222 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
223 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
224 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
225 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
226 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
227
228 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
229
230 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
231
232 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
233 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
234 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
235
236 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
237 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
238 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
239 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
240 (CVE-2013-0169)
241 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
242
243 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
244 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
245 [Steve Henson]
246
247 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
248 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
249 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
250 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
251 (This is a backport)
252 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
253
254 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
255 [Steve Henson]
256
257 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
258
259 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
260 to fix DoS attack.
261
262 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
263 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
264 (CVE-2012-2333)
265 [Steve Henson]
266
267 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
268 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
269 [Steve Henson]
270
271 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
272
273 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
274 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
275 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
276 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
277 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
278
279 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
280
281 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
282 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
283 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
284
285 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
286 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
287 (CVE-2012-2110)
288 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
289
290 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
291
292 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
293 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
294 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
295 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
296 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
297 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
298 an MMA defence is not necessary.
299 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
300 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
301 [Steve Henson]
302
303 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
304 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
305 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
306 [Steve Henson]
307
308 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
309
310 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
311 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
312 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
313 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
314 [Antonio Martin]
315
316 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
317
318 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
319 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
320 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
321 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
322 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
323 paper describing this attack can be found at:
324 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
325 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
326 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
327 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
328 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
329 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
330 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
331
332 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
333 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
334
335 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
336 (CVE-2011-4576)
337 [Adam Langley (Google)]
338
339 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
340 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
341 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
342 [Adam Langley (Google)]
343
344 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
345 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
346 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
347 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
348
349 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
350 [Adam Langley (Google)]
351
352 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
353 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
354
355 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
356 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
357 [Adam Langley (Google)]
358
359 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
360 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
361 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
362
363 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
364 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
365 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
366 the last update always remained unused).
367 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
368
369 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
370 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
371 [Adam Langley (Google)]
372
373 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
374 [Bodo Moeller]
375
376 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
377 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
378
379 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
380
381 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
382
383 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
384
385 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
386 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
387
388 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
389 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
390 ambiguous.
391 [Steve Henson]
392
393 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
394
395 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
396 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
397 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
398 [Steve Henson]
399
400 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
401 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
402 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
403 [Ben Laurie]
404
405 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
406
407 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
408 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
409 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
410 [Steve Henson]
411
412 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
413 [Steve Henson]
414
415 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
416 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
417 some broken encodings work correctly.
418 [Steve Henson]
419
420 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
421 is also one of the inputs.
422 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
423
424 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
425 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
426 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
427 etc are non-op.
428 [Steve Henson]
429
430 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
431
432 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
433 OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
434
435 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
436 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
437 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
438
439 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
440 common in certificates and some applications which only call
441 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
442 [Steve Henson]
443
444 *) VMS fixes:
445 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
446 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
447 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
448 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
449
450 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
451
452 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
453 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
454 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
455 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
456 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
457 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
458 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
459 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
460
461 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
462 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
463 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
464
465 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
466
467 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
468 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
469
470 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
471 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
472 [Bodo Moeller]
473
474 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
475 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
476 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
477 [Steve Henson]
478
479 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
480 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
481 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
482 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
483 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
484 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
485 [Steve Henson]
486
487 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
488 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
489 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
490 [Steve Henson]
491
492 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
493 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
494 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
495 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
496 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
497 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
498 CVE-2009-4355.
499 [Steve Henson]
500
501 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
502 change when encrypting or decrypting.
503 [Bodo Moeller]
504
505 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
506 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
507 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
508 [Steve Henson]
509
510 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
511 [Steve Henson]
512
513 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
514 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
515 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
516 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
517 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
518 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
519 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
520 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
521 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
522 [Steve Henson]
523
524 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
525 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
526 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
527 [Steve Henson]
528
529 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
530 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
531 [Steve Henson]
532
533 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
534 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
535 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
536 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
537 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
538 know what you are doing.
539 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
540
541 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
542 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
543 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
544 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
545 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
546 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
547 the handshake.
548 [Steve Henson]
549
550 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
551 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
552 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
553 correctly.
554 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
555
556 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
557 warnings in other configurations.
558 [Steve Henson]
559
560 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
561 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
562 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
563 systems need.
564 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
565
566 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
567 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
568 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
569
570 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
571 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
572 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
573 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
574 [Steve Henson]
575
576 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
577 and restored.
578 [Steve Henson]
579
580 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
581 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
582 clash.
583 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
584
585 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
586 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
587 other than a simple chain.
588 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
589
590 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
591 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
592 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
593 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
594 [Steve Henson]
595
596 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
597 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
598 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
599 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
600 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
601 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
602 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
603 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
604 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
605
606 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
607 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
608 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
609 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
610 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
611 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
612 (CVE-2009-1377)
613 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
614
615 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
616 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
617 [Daniel Mentz]
618
619 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
620 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
621
622 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
623 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
624
625 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
626
627 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
628 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
629 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
630 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
631 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
632 you're doing.
633 [Ben Laurie]
634
635 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
636
637 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
638 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
639 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
640 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
641
642 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
643 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
644 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
645 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
646
647 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
648 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
649 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
650 [Steve Henson]
651
652 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
653 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
654 level.
655 [Steve Henson]
656
657 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
658 to handle some structures.
659 [Steve Henson]
660
661 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
662 for a '\n'
663 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
664
665 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
666 [Matthieu Herrb]
667
668 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
669 [Steve Henson]
670
671 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
672 [Steve Henson]
673
674 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
675 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
676 chosen compiler.
677 [Ben Laurie]
678
679 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
680
681 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
682 (CVE-2008-5077).
683 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
684
685 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
686 [Ben Laurie]
687
688 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
689 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
690 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
691 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
692
693 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
694 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
695
696 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
697 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
698 [Bodo Moeller]
699
700 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
701 s_client and s_server.
702 [Ben Laurie]
703
704 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
705 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
706
707 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
708 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
709
710 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
711 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
712 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
713 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
714 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
715 [Bodo Moeller]
716
717 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
718
719 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
720 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
721 [PR #1679]
722
723 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
724 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
725 [Nagendra Modadugu]
726
727 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
728 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
729 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
730 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
731
732 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
733 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
734
735 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
736
737 *) Various precautionary measures:
738
739 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
740
741 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
742 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
743 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
744
745 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
746 outside the expected range.
747
748 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
749 builds.
750
751 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
752
753 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
754 the load fails. Useful for distros.
755 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
756
757 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
758 [Steve Henson]
759
760 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
761 [Huang Ying]
762
763 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
764
765 This work was sponsored by Logica.
766 [Steve Henson]
767
768 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
769 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
770 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
771
772 This work was sponsored by Logica.
773 [Steve Henson]
774
775 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
776 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
777 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
778 files.
779 [Steve Henson]
780
781 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
782
783 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
784 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
785 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
786 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
787
788 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
789 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
790 [Joe Orton]
791
792 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
793
794 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
795 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
796 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
797
798 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
799
800 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
801 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
802 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
803 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
804 [Lutz Jaenicke]
805
806 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
807 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
808 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
809 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
810 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
811 invalid read after the end of 'db').
812 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
813
814 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
815
816 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
817 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
818 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
819 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
820 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
821
822 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
823 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
824
825 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
826 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
827 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
828 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
829 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
830
831 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
832
833 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
834 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
835 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
836 sets may exist with different names.
837 [Steve Henson]
838
839 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
840 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
841 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
842 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
843 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
844 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
845 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
846 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
847 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
848 implementation.
849 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
850
851 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
852 implemention in the following ways:
853
854 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
855 hard coded.
856
857 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
858 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
859 ignored for embedded content.
860
861 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
862 with the enable-cms configuration option.
863 [Steve Henson]
864
865 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
866 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
867 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
868 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
869
870 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
871 uncompresses any data passed through it.
872 [Steve Henson]
873
874 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
875 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
876 [Steve Henson]
877
878 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
879 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
880 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
881 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
882 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
883 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
884 data.
885 [Steve Henson]
886
887 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
888 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
889 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
890
891 *) Netware support:
892
893 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
894 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
895 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
896 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
897 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
898 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
899 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
900 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
901 platform
902 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
903 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
904 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
905 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
906 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
907 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
908 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
909
910 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
911 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
912 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
913 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
914 to s_client and s_server.
915 [Steve Henson]
916
917 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
918
919 *) Fix various bugs:
920 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
921 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
922 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
923 + Fix ia64 assembler code
924 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
925
926 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
927
928 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
929 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
930 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
931 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
932 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
933 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
934 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
935 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
936 [Andy Polyakov]
937
938 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
939 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
940 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
941 Steve Henson]
942
943 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
944 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
945 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
946 supported.
947
948 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
949 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
950 SSL_SESSION.
951
952 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
953 protection in servers so again support should be possible
954 with no application modification.
955
956 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
957 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
958
959 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
960 or server extensions to be examined.
961
962 This work was sponsored by Google.
963 [Steve Henson]
964
965 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
966 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
967 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
968 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
969 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
970 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
971 server_name extension.
972
973 New functions (subject to change):
974
975 SSL_get_servername()
976 SSL_get_servername_type()
977 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
978
979 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
980
981 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
982 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
983 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
984 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
985 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
986
987 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
988
989 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
990 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
991 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
992 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
993 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
994 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
995 option.
996
997 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
998
999 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1000 [Steve Henson]
1001
1002 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1003 [Andy Polyakov]
1004
1005 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1006 (which previously caused an internal error).
1007 [Bodo Moeller]
1008
1009 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1010 [Ben Laurie]
1011
1012 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1013 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1014
1015 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1016 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1017 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1018
1019 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1020 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1021 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1022 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1023
1024 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1025 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1026 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1027 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1028
1029 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1030 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1031 information. For detailed background information, see
1032 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1033 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1034 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1035 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1036 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1037 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1038 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1039 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1040 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1041 remove a conditional branch.
1042
1043 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1044 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1045 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1046 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1047 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1048 remains as a deprecated alias.
1049
1050 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1051 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1052 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1053 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1054
1055 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1056 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1057 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1058 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1059 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1060 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1061 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1062 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1063
1064 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1065
1066 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1067 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1068 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1069 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1070 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1071 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1072 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1073 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1074 in a different context.
1075 [Bodo Moeller]
1076
1077 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1078 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1079 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1080 [Bodo Moeller]
1081
1082 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1083 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1084 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1085
1086 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1087
1088 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1089 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1090 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1091 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1092 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1093 [Victor Duchovni]
1094
1095 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1096 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1097 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1098 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1099 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1100 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1101 [Bodo Moeller]
1102
1103 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1104 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1105 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1106 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1107 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1108 [Bodo Moeller]
1109
1110 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1111 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1112
1113 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1114 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1115 Improve header file function name parsing.
1116 [Steve Henson]
1117
1118 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1119 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1120 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1121
1122 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1123
1124 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1125 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1126 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1127
1128 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1129 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1130
1131 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1132 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1133
1134 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1135 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1136 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1137
1138 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1139 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1140 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1141 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1142 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1143 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1144 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1145 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1146 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1147
1148 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1149 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1150 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1151 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1152 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1153
1154 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1155 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1156 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1157 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1158 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1159 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1160 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1161 multiple values to extend the available space.
1162
1163 [Bodo Moeller]
1164
1165 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1166
1167 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1168 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1169
1170 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1171 [Ben Laurie]
1172
1173 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1174 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1175 undesirable limitations.
1176 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1177
1178 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1179 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1180 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1181 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1182 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1183 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1184 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1185 [Bodo Moeller]
1186
1187 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1188
1189 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1190 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1191 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1192
1193 The latter two were purportedly from
1194 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1195 appear there.
1196
1197 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1198 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1199 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1200 [Bodo Moeller]
1201
1202 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1203 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1204 [Bodo Moeller]
1205
1206 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1207 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1208 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1209 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1210
1211 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1212 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1213 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1214 [NTT]
1215
1216 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1217 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1218 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1219 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1220 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1221 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1222 [Steve Henson]
1223
1224 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1225
1226 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1227 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1228 [Steve Henson]
1229
1230 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1231 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1232
1233 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1234 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1235 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1236 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1237 [Douglas Stebila]
1238
1239 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1240 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1241 [Steve Henson]
1242
1243 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1244 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1245 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1246 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1247 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1248 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1249 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1250 can't be loaded.
1251 [Steve Henson]
1252
1253 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1254 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1255 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1256 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1257 [Steve Henson]
1258
1259 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1260 under VC++ build system.
1261 [Steve Henson]
1262
1263 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1264 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1265 [Richard Levitte]
1266
1267 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1268
1269 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1270 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1271 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1272 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1273 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1274
1275 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1276 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1277 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1278
1279 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1280 [Steve Henson]
1281
1282 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1283 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1284 [Nils Larsch]
1285
1286 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1287 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1288
1289 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1290 [Nick Mathewson]
1291
1292 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1293 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1294
1295 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1296 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1297 [Steve Henson]
1298
1299 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1300 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1301 smime utility.
1302 [Steve Henson]
1303
1304 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1305
1306 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1307 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1308
1309 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1310 [Richard Levitte]
1311
1312 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1313 key into the same file any more.
1314 [Richard Levitte]
1315
1316 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1317 [Andy Polyakov]
1318
1319 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1320 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1321
1322 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1323 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1324 [Richard Levitte]
1325
1326 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1327 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1328 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1329 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1330 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1331 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1332
1333 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1334 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1335 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1336 [Steve Henson]
1337
1338 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1339 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1340 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1341 - add new function for parameter creation
1342 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1343 BN_BLINDING parameters
1344 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1345 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1346 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1347 threads.
1348 [Nils Larsch]
1349
1350 *) Add support for DTLS.
1351 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1352
1353 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1354 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1355 [Walter Goulet]
1356
1357 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1358 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1359 [Nils Larsch]
1360
1361 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1362 the apps/openssl applications.
1363 [Nils Larsch]
1364
1365 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1366 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1367 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1368 [Ben Laurie]
1369
1370 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1371 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1372
1373 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1374 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1375
1376 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1377 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1378 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1379 avoid this algorithm.)
1380
1381 [Bodo Moeller]
1382
1383 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1384 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1385 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1386 [Richard Levitte]
1387
1388 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1389 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1390 [Andy Polyakov]
1391
1392 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1393 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1394 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1395 pod file:
1396
1397 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1398
1399 The blank line is mandatory.
1400
1401 [Steve Henson]
1402
1403 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1404 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1405 sources.
1406 [Steve Henson]
1407
1408 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1409 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1410
1411 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1412 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1413 to support policy checking and print out.
1414 [Steve Henson]
1415
1416 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1417 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1418 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1419 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1420
1421 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1422 [Geoff Thorpe]
1423
1424 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1425 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1426
1427 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1428 implementation contributed by IBM.
1429 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1430
1431 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1432 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1433 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1434 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1435
1436 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1437 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1438
1439 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1440 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1441 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1442 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1443 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1444 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1445 [Steve Henson]
1446
1447 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1448 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1449 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1450 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1451 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1452 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1453 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1454 [Geoff Thorpe]
1455
1456 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1457 [Steve Henson]
1458
1459 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1460 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1461 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1462 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1463 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1464 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1465 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1466 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1467 [Steve Henson]
1468
1469 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1470 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1471 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1472 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1473 [Steve Henson]
1474
1475 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1476 syntax:
1477
1478 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1479 [Steve Henson]
1480
1481 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1482 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1483 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1484 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1485 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1486 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1487 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1488 [Geoff Thorpe]
1489
1490 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1491 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1492 [Geoff Thorpe]
1493
1494 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1495 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1496 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1497 [Steve Henson]
1498
1499 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1500 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1501 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1502 below).
1503 [Geoff Thorpe]
1504
1505 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1506 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1507 [Richard Levitte]
1508
1509 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1510 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1511 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1512 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1513 [Geoff Thorpe]
1514
1515 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1516 initialised value as BN_new().
1517 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1518
1519 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1520 [Steve Henson]
1521
1522 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1523 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1524 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1525 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1526 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1527 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1528 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1529 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1530 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1531 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1532 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1533 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1534 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1535 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1536 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1537
1538 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1539 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1540 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1541 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1542 [Geoff Thorpe]
1543
1544 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1545 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1546 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1547 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1548 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1549 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1550 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1551 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1552 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1553 [Geoff Thorpe]
1554
1555 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1556 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1557 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1558 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1559 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1560 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1561 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1562 [Geoff Thorpe]
1563
1564 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1565 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1566 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1567 these have been updated also.
1568 [Geoff Thorpe]
1569
1570 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1571 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1572 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1573 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1574 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1575 functions.
1576 [Steve Henson]
1577
1578 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1579 structure of type "other".
1580 [Steve Henson]
1581
1582 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1583 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1584 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1585 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1586 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1587 situation in the script.
1588 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1589
1590 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1591 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1592 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1593 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1594 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1595 used as premaster secret.
1596 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1597
1598 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1599 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1600 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1601
1602 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1603 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1604
1605 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1606 control of the error stack.
1607 [Richard Levitte]
1608
1609 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1610 [Richard Levitte]
1611
1612 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1613 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1614 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1615 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1616 [Richard Levitte]
1617
1618 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1619 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1620 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1621 [Richard Levitte]
1622
1623 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1624 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1625 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1626 a memory area.
1627 [Richard Levitte]
1628
1629 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1630 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1631 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1632 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1633 [Richard Levitte]
1634
1635 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1636 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1637 the following flags are defined:
1638
1639 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1640 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1641 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1642 number.
1643
1644 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1645 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1646 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1647 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1648 returns zero.
1649 [Richard Levitte]
1650
1651 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1652 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1653 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1654 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1655 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1656 [Richard Levitte]
1657
1658 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1659 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1660 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1661 [Richard Levitte]
1662
1663 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1664 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1665 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1666 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1667 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1668 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1669 [Richard Levitte]
1670
1671 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1672 req and dirName.
1673 [Steve Henson]
1674
1675 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1676 [Steve Henson]
1677
1678 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1679 [Steve Henson]
1680
1681 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1682 [Steve Henson]
1683
1684 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1685 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1686 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1687 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1688 default implementation more easily.
1689 [Geoff Thorpe]
1690
1691 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1692 in config files.
1693 [Steve Henson]
1694
1695 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1696 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1697 [Richard Levitte]
1698
1699 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1700 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1701 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1702 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1703
1704 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1705 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1706 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1707 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1708 [Steve Henson]
1709
1710 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1711 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1712 to do it.
1713 [Richard Levitte]
1714
1715 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1716 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1717 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1718 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1719 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1720 scalar * generator).
1721 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1722
1723 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1724 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1725 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1726 correctly.
1727 [Steve Henson]
1728
1729 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1730 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1731 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1732 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1733 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1734 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1735 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1736 linker additions, eg;
1737 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1738 [Geoff Thorpe]
1739
1740 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1741 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1742 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1743 [Geoff Thorpe]
1744
1745 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1746 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1747 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1748 via PR#459)
1749 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1750
1751 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1752 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1753 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1754 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1755 [Geoff Thorpe]
1756
1757 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1758 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1759 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1760 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1761 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1762 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1763 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1764 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1765 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1766 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1767
1768 Example for using the new callback interface:
1769
1770 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1771 void *my_arg = ...;
1772 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1773
1774 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1775
1776 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1777 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1778 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1779 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1780 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1781 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1782 */
1783
1784 [Geoff Thorpe]
1785
1786 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1787 available to TLS with the number defined in
1788 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1789 [Richard Levitte]
1790
1791 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1792 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1793
1794 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1795 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1796 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1797 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1798
1799 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1800 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1801
1802 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1803 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1804 well.
1805 [Richard Levitte]
1806
1807 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1808 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1809 [Richard Levitte]
1810
1811 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1812 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1813 and a macro that behave like
1814 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1815
1816 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1817 [Nils Larsch]
1818
1819 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1820 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1821 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1822 if applicable.
1823 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1824
1825 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1826 [Bodo Moeller]
1827
1828 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1829 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1830 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1831 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1832 directory engines/.
1833 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1834 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1835 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1836 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1837 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1838 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1839 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1840 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1841
1842 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1843 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1844 [Richard Levitte]
1845
1846 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1847 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1848
1849 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1850 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1851 files while avoiding the low level API.
1852
1853 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1854 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1855 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1856 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1857
1858 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1859 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1860 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1861 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1862 instead of the low level API.
1863 [Steve Henson]
1864
1865 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1866 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1867 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1868 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1869 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1870 PKCS#7 code.
1871
1872 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1873 down to the template encoder.
1874 [Steve Henson]
1875
1876 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1877 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1878 [Bodo Moeller]
1879
1880 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1881 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1882 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1883 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1884
1885 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1886 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1887
1888 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1889 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1890
1891 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1892 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1893 [Bodo Moeller]
1894
1895 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1896 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1897 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1898 [Bodo Moeller]
1899
1900 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1901 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1902
1903 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1904 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1905
1906 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1907 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1908 New EC_METHOD:
1909
1910 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1911
1912 New API functions:
1913
1914 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1915 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1916 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1917 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1918 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1919 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1920
1921 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1922 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1923 enable it).
1924
1925 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1926 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1927 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1928 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1929 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1930 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1931 various internal method names.)
1932
1933 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1934 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1935
1936 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1937 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1938
1939 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1940 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1941
1942 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1943 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1944 methods are undefined.
1945
1946 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1947 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1948
1949 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1950 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1951 length of the modulus.
1952
1953 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1954 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1955
1956 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1957 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1958
1959 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1960 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1961
1962 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1963 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1964 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1965
1966 BN_GF2m_add
1967 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1968 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1969 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1970 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]

1972 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1973 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]

1975 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1976
1977 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1978 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1979
1980 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1981 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1982 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1983 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1984 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1985 where
1986 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1987 This applies to the following functions:
1988
1989 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1990 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1991 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1992 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1993 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1994 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1995 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1996 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1997 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1998 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1999
2000 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2001
2002 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2003 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2004
2005 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2006
2007 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2008 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2009 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2010 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2011 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2012
2013 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2014 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2015
2016 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2017 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2018 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2019
2020 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2021 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2022
2023 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2024 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2025 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2026 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2027 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2028
2029 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2030 functions
2031 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2032 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2033 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2034 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2035 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2036 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2037 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2038 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2039 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2040 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2041 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2042 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2043
2044 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2045 functions
2046 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
2047 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2048 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2049 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2050 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2051
2052 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2053 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2054 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2055 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2056
2057 *) Add functions
2058 EC_POINT_point2bn()
2059 EC_POINT_bn2point()
2060 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2061 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2062 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2063 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2064 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2065
2066 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2067 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2068 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2069 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2070 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2071 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2072 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2073 adding different types of curves.
2074 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2075
2076 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2077 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2078 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2079 [Bodo Moeller]
2080
2081 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2082 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2083
2084 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2085 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2086 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2087 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2088
2089 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2090
2091 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2092 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2093
2094 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2095 library. Most notably,
2096 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2097 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2098 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2099 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2100 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2101 extracted before the specific public key;
2102 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2103 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2104
2105 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2106 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2107 function
2108 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2109 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2110 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2111 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2112 accessed via
2113 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2114 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2115 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2116
2117 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2118 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2119 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2120 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2121 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2122 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2123 differing sizes.
2124 [Richard Levitte]
2125
2126 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2127
2128 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2129 sensitive data.
2130 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2131
2132 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2133 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2134 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2135 [Bodo Moeller]
2136
2137 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2138 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2139 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2140 [Victor Duchovni]
2141
2142 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2143 [Steve Henson]
2144
2145 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2146 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2147 [Steve Henson]
2148
2149 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2150 run algorithm test programs.
2151 [Steve Henson]
2152
2153 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2154 [Steve Henson]
2155
2156 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2157 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2158 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2159 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2160 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2161 [Bodo Moeller]
2162
2163 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2164 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2165 [Steve Henson]
2166
2167 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2168
2169 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2170 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2171 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2172
2173 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2174 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2175
2176 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2177 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2178
2179 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2180 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2181 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2182
2183 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2184 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2185 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2186 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2187 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2188 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2189 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2190 [Bodo Moeller]
2191
2192 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2193
2194 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2195 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2196
2197 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2198 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2199 undesirable limitations.
2200 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2201
2202 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2203
2204 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2205 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2206 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2207
2208 The latter two were purportedly from
2209 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2210 appear there.
2211
2212 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2213 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2214 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2215 [Bodo Moeller]
2216
2217 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2218 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2219 [Bodo Moeller]
2220
2221 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2222
2223 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2224 module in FIPS mode.
2225 [Steve Henson]
2226
2227 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2228 [Steve Henson]
2229
2230 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2231 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2232 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2233 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2234 [Steve Henson]
2235
2236 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2237
2238 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2239 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2240 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2241 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2242 the difference induced by this change.
2243 [Andy Polyakov]
2244
2245 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2246
2247 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2248 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2249 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2250 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2251 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2252
2253 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2254 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2255 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2256
2257 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2258 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2259 [Steve Henson]
2260
2261 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2262 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2263 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2264 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2265 biased k.)
2266 [Bodo Moeller]
2267
2268 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2269 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2270 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2271 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2272 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2273
2274 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2275 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2276 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2277 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2278 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2279 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2280
2281 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2282
2283 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2284 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2285 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2286 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2287 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2288 [Bodo Moeller]
2289
2290 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2291 clients need.
2292 [Steve Henson]
2293
2294 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2295 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2296 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2297 [Steve Henson]
2298
2299 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2300 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2301 structures constant.
2302 [Steve Henson]
2303
2304 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2305
2306 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2307 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2308
2309 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2310 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2311 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2312 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2313 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2314 some needed definitions.
2315 [Steve Henson]
2316
2317 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2318 [Ulf Möller]
2319
2320 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2321 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2322 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2323 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2324 [Richard Levitte]
2325
2326 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2327
2328 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2329 server and client random values. Previously
2330 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2331 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2332
2333 This change has negligible security impact because:
2334
2335 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2336 data.
2337
2338 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2339 handshake.
2340
2341 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2342 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2343 values.
2344
2345 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2346 to our attention.
2347
2348 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2349
2350 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2351 [Ulf Möller]
2352
2353 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2354 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2355 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2356
2357 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2358 [Steve Henson]
2359
2360 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2361 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2362 [Andy Polyakov]
2363
2364 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2365 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2366 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2367
2368 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2369 [Steve Henson]
2370
2371 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2372 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2373 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2374 certificates.
2375 [Steve Henson]
2376
2377 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2378 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2379 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2380 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2381
2382 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2383 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2384 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2385 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2386 been given)
2387 [Richard Levitte]
2388
2389 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2390
2391 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2392 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2393 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2394 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2395 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2399 [Steve Henson]
2400
2401 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2402 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2403
2404 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2405 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2406 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2407 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2408 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2409 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2410 rather than being initialized to 1.
2411 [Steve Henson]
2412
2413 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2414
2415 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2416 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2417 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2418
2419 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2420 (CVE-2004-0112)
2421 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2422
2423 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2424 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2425 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2426 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2427 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2428 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2429 [Richard Levitte]
2430
2431 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2432 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2433 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2434 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2435 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2436 for these cases.
2437 [Steve Henson]
2438
2439 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2440 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2441 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2442 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2443 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2444 [Steve Henson]
2445
2446 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2447 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2448 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2449 < 0.9.7.
2450 [Steve Henson]
2451
2452 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2453 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2454
2455 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2456 [Steve Henson]
2457
2458 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2459
2460 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2461
2462 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2463 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2464
2465 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2466
2467 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2468 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2469
2470 [Steve Henson]
2471
2472 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2473 exiting on the first error in a request.
2474 [Steve Henson]
2475
2476 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2477 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2478 specifications.
2479 [Steve Henson]
2480
2481 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2482 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2483 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2484 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2485
2486 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2487 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2488 [Richard Levitte]
2489
2490 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2491 blocks during encryption.
2492 [Richard Levitte]
2493
2494 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2495 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2496 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2497 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2498 certain size.
2499 [Steve Henson]
2500
2501 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2502 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2503 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2504 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2505 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2506 parser.
2507 [Steve Henson]
2508
2509 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2510
2511 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2512 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2513 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2514 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2515 [Bodo Moeller]
2516
2517 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2518 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2519 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2520 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2521 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2522
2523 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2524 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2525 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2526 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2527 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2528 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2529 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2530 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2531 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2532 [Bodo Moeller]
2533
2534 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2535 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2536 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2537 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2538 [Geoff Thorpe]
2539
2540 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2541 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2542 [Ulf Moeller]
2543
2544 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2545
2546 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2547 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2548 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2549 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2550 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2551
2552 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2553 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2554 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2555
2556 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2557 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2558 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2559 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2560 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2561
2562 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2563 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2564 used by default when no-err is given.
2565 [Richard Levitte]
2566
2567 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2568 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2569
2570 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2571 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2572 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2573 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2574 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2575
2576 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2577 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2578 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2579 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2580
2581 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2582
2583 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2584
2585 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2586
2587 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2588 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2589 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2590 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2591 root is omitted).
2592 [Steve Henson]
2593
2594 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2595 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2596
2597 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2598 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2599 [Steve Henson]
2600
2601 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2602 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2603 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2604 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2605 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2606
2607 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2608 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2609 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2610 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2611 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2612 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2613 followup to PR #377.
2614 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2615
2616 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2617 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2618 [Andy Polyakov]
2619
2620 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2621 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2622 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2623 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2624
2625 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2626
2627 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2628 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2629
2630 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2631 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2632 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2633 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2634 client and server.
2635 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2636 PR #377.
2637 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2638
2639 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2640 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2641 removed entirely.
2642 [Richard Levitte]
2643
2644 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2645 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2646 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2647 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2648 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2649 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2650 of libcrypto.
2651 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2652 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2653 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2654 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2655 have to be made anyway).
2656 [Richard Levitte]
2657
2658 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2659 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2660 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2661 [Steve Henson]
2662
2663 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2664 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2665 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2666 [Richard Levitte]
2667
2668 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2669 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2670 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2671
2672 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2673 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2674 edit numbers of the version.
2675 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2676
2677 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2678 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2679 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2680
2681 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2682 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2683
2684 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2685 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2686 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2687
2688 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2689 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2690
2691 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2692 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2693
2694 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2695 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2696
2697 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2698 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2699
2700 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2701 overflows.
2702 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2703
2704 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2705 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2706 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2707
2708 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2709 representations in a platform independent manner.
2710 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2711
2712 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2713 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2714 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2715
2716 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2717 indents.
2718 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2719
2720 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2721 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2722
2723 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2724 full. Fixed.
2725 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2726
2727 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2728 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2729 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2730
2731 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2732 unconditionally).
2733 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2734
2735 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2736 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2737
2738 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2739 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2740
2741 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2742 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2743
2744 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2745 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2746
2747 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2748 CBCParameter.
2749 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2750
2751 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2752 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2753
2754 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2755 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2756
2757 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2758 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2759 exploitable.
2760 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2761
2762 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2763 the 0.9.6 release series:
2764
2765 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2766 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2767 (CVE-2002-0657)
2768 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2769
2770 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2771 [Richard Levitte]
2772
2773 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2774 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2775
2776 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2777 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2778
2779 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2780 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2781 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2782 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2783
2784 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2785 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2786 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2787
2788 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2789 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2790 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2791 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2792
2793 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2794 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2795 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2796 some local tweaks:
2797
2798 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2799 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2800 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2801 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2802 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2803 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2804 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2805 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2806 done
2807
2808 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2809 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2810 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2811 [Richard Levitte]
2812
2813 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2814 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2815 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2816 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2817 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2818
2819 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2820 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2821
2822 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2823 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2824 [Richard Levitte]
2825
2826 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2827 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2828 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2829 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2830 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2831 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2832 [Steve Henson]
2833
2834 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2835 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2836 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2837 [Steve Henson]
2838
2839 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2840 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2841 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2842
2843 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2844 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2845 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2846 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2847 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2848 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2849 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2850 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2851
2852 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2853 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2854 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2855 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2856 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2857 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2858 [Steve Henson]
2859
2860 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2861 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2862 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2863 declaration has been changed from
2864 int (*cb)()
2865 into
2866 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2867 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2868 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2869 has been changed into
2870 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2871
2872 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2873 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2874 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2875
2876 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2877 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2878
2879 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2880 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2881 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2882 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2883 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2884 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2885 always load it have also been added.
2886 [Steve Henson]
2887
2888 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2889 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2890 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2891
2892 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2893
2894 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2895 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2896 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2897
2898 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2899 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2900 command line option can be used to specify an
2901 alternative file.
2902 [Steve Henson]
2903
2904 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2905 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2906 [Steve Henson]
2907
2908 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2909 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2910 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2911 [Steve Henson]
2912
2913 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2914 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2915 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2916 to work with the new engine framework.
2917 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2918
2919 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2920 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2921 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2922 to work with the new engine framework.
2923 [Richard Levitte]
2924
2925 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2926 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2927 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2928
2929 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2930 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2931
2932 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2933 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2934 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2935 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2936 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2937 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2938
2939 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2940 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2941
2942 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2943 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2944
2945 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2946 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2947 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2948 [Ben Laurie]
2949
2950 *) Add new functions
2951 ERR_peek_last_error
2952 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2953 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2954 These are similar to
2955 ERR_peek_error
2956 ERR_peek_error_line
2957 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2958 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2959 still in the error queue.
2960 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2961
2962 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2963 like:
2964 default_algorithms = ALL
2965 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2966 [Steve Henson]
2967
2968 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2969 [Steve Henson]
2970
2971 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2972 [Steve Henson]
2973
2974 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2975 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2976 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2977 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2978
2979 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2980 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2981
2982 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2983 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2984
2985 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2986 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2987 [Bodo Moeller]
2988
2989 *) New functions/macros
2990
2991 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2992 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2993 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2994 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2995
2996 to request calling a callback function
2997
2998 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2999 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3000
3001 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3002 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3003 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3004 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3005 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3006 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3007 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3008 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3009 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3010 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3011
3012 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3013 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3014 [Bodo Moeller]
3015
3016 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3017 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3018 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3019 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3020 the configuration scripts.
3021
3022 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3023 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3024 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3025
3026 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3027 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3028
3029 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3030 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3031 when reusing an existing buffer.
3032 [Bodo Moeller]
3033
3034 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3035 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3036 [Steve Henson]
3037
3038 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3039 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3040 [Ben Laurie]
3041
3042 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3043 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3044 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3045 has the same effect.
3046 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3047
3048 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3049 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3050 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3051 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3052 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3053 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3054 exception.
3055
3056 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3057 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3058 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3059 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3060
3061 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3062 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3063 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3064 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3065
3066 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3067 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3068 won't work.
3069
3070 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3071 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3072 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3073 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3074 default), and then completely removed.
3075 [Richard Levitte]
3076
3077 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3078 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3079 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3080 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3081 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3082 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3083 particular extension is supported.
3084 [Steve Henson]
3085
3086 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3087 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3088 [Steve Henson]
3089
3090 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3091 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3092 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3093 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3094 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3095 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3096 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3097 requires the destination to be valid.
3098
3099 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3100 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3101 [Steve Henson]
3102
3103 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3104 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3105 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3106 [Bodo Moeller]
3107
3108 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3109 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3110
3111 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3112 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3113 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3114 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3115 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3116 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3117 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3118 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3119 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3120 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3121 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3122 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3123 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3124 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3125 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3126 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3127 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3128 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3129 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3130 the new code.
3131 [Geoff Thorpe]
3132
3133 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3134 [Steve Henson]
3135
3136 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3137 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3138 become part of libeay.num as well.
3139 [Richard Levitte]
3140
3141 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3142 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3143 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3144 false once a handshake has been completed.
3145 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3146 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3147 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3148 client has followed the request.)
3149 [Bodo Moeller]
3150
3151 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3152 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3153 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3154 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3155
3156 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3157 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3158 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3159 [Bodo Moeller]
3160
3161 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3162 [Steve Henson]
3163
3164 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3165 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3166 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3167 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3168
3169 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3170 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3171 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3172
3173 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3174 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3175 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3176 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3177 [Geoff Thorpe]
3178
3179 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3180 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3181 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3182 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3183 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3184 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3185 [Geoff Thorpe]
3186
3187 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3188 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3189 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3190 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3191 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3192 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3193 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3194 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3195 [Geoff Thorpe]
3196
3197 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3198 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3199 [Geoff Thorpe]
3200
3201 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3202 [Ben Laurie]
3203
3204 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3205 md_data void pointer.
3206 [Ben Laurie]
3207
3208 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3209 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3210 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3211 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3212 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3213 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3214 [Ben Laurie]
3215
3216 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3217 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3218 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3219 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3220 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3221 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3222 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3223 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3224 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3225 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3226 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3227 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3228 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3229 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3230 rather than letting it slide.
3231
3232 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3233 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3234 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3235 [Geoff Thorpe]
3236
3237 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3238 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3239 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3240 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3241 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3242 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3243 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3244 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3245 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3246 [Geoff Thorpe]
3247
3248 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3249 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3250 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3251 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3252 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3253
3254 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3255 [Geoff Thorpe]
3256
3257 *) Add EVP test program.
3258 [Ben Laurie]
3259
3260 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3261 [Ben Laurie]
3262
3263 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3264 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3265 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3266 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3267 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3268 [Steve Henson]
3269
3270 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3271 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3272 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3273 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3274 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3275 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3276 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3277
3278 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3279 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3280 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3281 Usage example:
3282
3283 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3284
3285 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3286 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3287 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3288 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3289 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3290
3291 [Ben Laurie]
3292
3293 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3294 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3295 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3296 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3297 anyway): E.g.,
3298
3299 des_key_schedule ks;
3300
3301 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3302 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3303
3304 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3305 [Ben Laurie]
3306
3307 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3308 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3309 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3310 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3311 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3312 functions prevents this.
3313 [Steve Henson]
3314
3315 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3316 [Ben Laurie]
3317
3318 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3319 correct _ecb suffix.
3320 [Ben Laurie]
3321
3322 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3323 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3324 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3325 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3326 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3327 [Steve Henson]
3328
3329 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3330 [Richard Levitte]
3331
3332 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3333 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3334 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3335 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3336
3337 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3338 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3339
3340 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3341 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3342 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3343 via Richard Levitte]
3344
3345 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3346 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3347 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3348 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3349 [Geoff Thorpe]
3350
3351 *) Speed up EVP routines.

3367 [Ben Laurie]
3368
3369 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3370 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3371
3372 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3373 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3374 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3375 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3376 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3377 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3378 [Steve Henson]
3379
3380 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3381 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3382 [Richard Levitte]
3383
3384 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3385 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3386 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3387 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3388
3389 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3390 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3391 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3392 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3393 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3394 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3395 callback.
3396 [Richard Levitte]
3397
3398 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3399 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3400 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3401 and interrupts/cancellations.
3402 [Richard Levitte]
3403
3404 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3405 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3406 [Steve Henson]
3407
3408 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3409 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3410 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3411
3412 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3413 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3414 kind of callback.
3415 [Richard Levitte]
3416
3417 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3418 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3419 than this minimum value is recommended.
3420 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3421
3422 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3423 that are easily reachable.
3424 [Richard Levitte]
3425
3426 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3427 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3428
3429 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3430
3431 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3432 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3433 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3434 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3435 [Steve Henson]
3436
3437 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3438 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3439 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3440 [Steve Henson]
3441
3442 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3443 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3444 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3445 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3446 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3447 internally such as S/MIME.
3448
3449 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3450 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3451 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3452
3453 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3454 applications.
3455 [Steve Henson]
3456
3457 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3458 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3459 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3460 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3461
3462 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3463
3464 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3465
3466 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3467 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3468 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3469 handling.
3470 [Steve Henson]
3471
3472 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3473 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3474 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3475 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3476 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3477 a window system and the like.
3478 [Richard Levitte]
3479
3480 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3481 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3482 [Geoff]
3483
3484 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3485 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3486 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3487 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3488 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3489 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3490 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3491 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3492 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3493 ENGINE structure.
3494 [Geoff]
3495
3496 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3497 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3498 tag cache.
3499 [Steve Henson]
3500
3501 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3502 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3503 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3504 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3505 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3506 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3507 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3508 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3509 [Geoff]
3510
3511 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3512 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3513 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3514 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3515 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3516 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3517 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3518 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3519 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3520 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3521 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3522 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3523 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3524 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3525 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3526 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3527 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3528 [Geoff]
3529
3530 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3531 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3532 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3533 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3534 internal engine_int.h header.
3535 [Geoff]
3536
3537 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3538 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3539 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3540 modify their own ones).
3541 [Geoff]
3542
3543 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3544 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3545 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3546 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3547 later on via ctrl() commands.
3548 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3549 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3550 structural references.
3551 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3552 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3553 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3554 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3555 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3556 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3557 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3558 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3559 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3560 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3561 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3562 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3563 [Geoff]
3564
3565 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3566 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3567 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3568 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3569 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3570 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3571 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3572 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3573 [Bodo Moeller]
3574
3575 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3576 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3577 [Steve Henson]
3578
3579 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3580 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3581 [Steve Henson]
3582
3583 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3584 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3585 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3586 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3587 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3588 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3589 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3590 [Steve Henson]
3591
3592 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3593 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3594 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3595 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3596 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3597
3598 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3599 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3600 generator).
3601 [Bodo Moeller]
3602
3603 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3604
3605 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3606 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3607 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3608
3609 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3610 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3611
3612 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3613 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3614 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3615
3616 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3617 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3618
3619 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3620 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3621
3622 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3623
3624 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3625 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3626 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3627 [Bodo Moeller]
3628
3629 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3630 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3631 [Richard Levitte]
3632
3633 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3634 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3635 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3636 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3637 is 40 of more characters long.
3638 [Steve Henson]
3639
3640 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3641 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3642 pointers.
3643 [Steve Henson]
3644
3645 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3646 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3647 [Bodo Moeller]
3648
3649 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3650 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3651 might.
3652 [Steve Henson]
3653
3654 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3655
3656 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3657 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3658
3659 ASN1 error codes
3660 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3661 ...
3662 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3663 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3664 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3665 ...
3666 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3667 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3668
3669 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3670 [Bodo Moeller]
3671
3672 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3673 suffices.
3674 [Bodo Moeller]
3675
3676 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3677 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3678 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3679 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3680 and
3681 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3682
3683 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3684 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3685
3686 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3687 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3688 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3689 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3690 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3691 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3692
3693 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3694 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3695
3696 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3697 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3698
3699 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3700 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3701
3702 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3703 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3704 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3705 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3706
3707 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3708 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3709
3710 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3711 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3712
3713 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3714 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3715 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3716 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3717 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3718 [Richard Levitte]
3719
3720 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3721 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3722 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3723 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3724 [Steve Henson]
3725
3726 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3727 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3728 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3729 trust settings.
3730 [Steve Henson]
3731
3732 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3733 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3734 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3735 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3736 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3737 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3738 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3739 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3740 ocsp utility.
3741 [Steve Henson]
3742
3743 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3744 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3745 [Steve Henson]
3746
3747 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3748 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3749 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3750 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3751 [Steve Henson]
3752
3753 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3754 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3755 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3756 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3757 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3758 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3759 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3760 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3761 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3762 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3763 [Steve Henson]
3764
3765 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3766 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3767 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3768 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3769 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3770 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3771 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3772 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3773
3774 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3775 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3776 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3777 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3778 [Richard Levitte]
3779
3780 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3781 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3782 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3783 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3784 opensslconf.h.
3785 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3786 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3787 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3788 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3789 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3790 what is available.
3791 [Richard Levitte]
3792
3793 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3794 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3795 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3796 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3797 auto incremented.
3798 [Steve Henson]
3799
3800 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3801 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3802 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3803 [Steve Henson]
3804
3805 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3806 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3807 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3808 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3809 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3810 [Steve Henson]
3811
3812 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3813 [Steve Henson]
3814
3815 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3816 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3817 option to ocsp utility.
3818 [Steve Henson]
3819
3820 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3821 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3822 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3823 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3824 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3825 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3826 the request is nonce-less.
3827 [Steve Henson]
3828
3829 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3830 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3831 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3832 [Bodo Moeller]
3833
3834 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3835 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3836 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3837 [Steve Henson]
3838
3839 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3840 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3841 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3842 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3843 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3844 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3845
3846 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3847 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3848 appear to exist.
3849 [Steve Henson]
3850
3851 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3852 additional certificates supplied.
3853 [Steve Henson]
3854
3855 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3856 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3857 signature against.
3858 [Richard Levitte]
3859
3860 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3861 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3862 AES OIDs.
3863
3864 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3865 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3866 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3867 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3868 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3869 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3870 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3871 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3872 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3873
3874 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3875 request to response.
3876 [Steve Henson]
3877
3878 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3879 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3880 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3881 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3882 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3883 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3884 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3885 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3886 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3887 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3888 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3889 [Steve Henson]
3890
3891 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3892 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3893 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3894 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3895 [Steve Henson]
3896
3897 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3898 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3899
3900 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3901 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3902 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3903 [Steve Henson]
3904
3905 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3906 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3907 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3908 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3909 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3910
3911 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3912 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3913 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3914 [Steve Henson]
3915
3916 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3917 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3918 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3919 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3920 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3921 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3922 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3923 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3924
3925 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3926 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3927 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3928 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3929 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3930 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3931 [Steve Henson]
3932
3933 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3934 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3935 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3936 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3937 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3938 printout format cleaned up.
3939 [Steve Henson]
3940
3941 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3942 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3943 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3944 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3945 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3946 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3947 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3948 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3949 [Steve Henson]
3950
3951 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3952 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3953 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3954 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3955 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3956 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3957 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3958 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3959 [Steve Henson]
3960
3961 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3962 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3963 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3964 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3965 section to use.
3966 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3967
3968 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3969 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3970 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3971 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3972 [Steve Henson]
3973
3974 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3975 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3976 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3977 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3978 in the index file.
3979 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3980
3981 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3982 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3983 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3984 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3985
3986 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3987 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3988
3989 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3990 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3991 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3992 [Steve Henson]
3993
3994 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3995 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3996 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3997 [Bodo Moeller]
3998
3999 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4000 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4001 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4002 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4003 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4004 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4005 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4006 functions are provided:
4007
4008 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4009 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4010 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4011 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4012
4013 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4014 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4015 extended allocation function is enabled.
4016 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4017 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4018 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4019
4020 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4021 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4022 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4023 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4024 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4025 [Geoff Thorpe]
4026
4027 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4028 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4029 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4030 be queried.
4031 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4032 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4033 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4034 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4035
4036 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4037 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4038 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4039 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4040 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4041 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4042 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4043 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4044 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4045 [Richard Levitte]
4046
4047 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4048 provide utility functions which an application needing
4049 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4050 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4051 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4052
4053 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4054 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4055 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4056 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4057 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4058 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4059 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4060 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4061 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4062
4063 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4064 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4065 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4066 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4067 [Steve Henson]
4068
4069 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4070 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4071 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4072 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4073 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4074 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4075 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4076 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4077 will be added elsewhere.
4078 [Steve Henson]
4079
4080 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4081 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4082 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4083 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4084 [Steve Henson]
4085
4086 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4087 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4088 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4089 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4090 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4091 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4092 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4093 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4094 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4095 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4096 to produce the required SET OF.
4097 [Steve Henson]
4098
4099 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4100 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4101 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4102 [Richard Levitte]
4103
4104 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4105 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4106 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4107 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4108 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4109 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4110 [Steve Henson]
4111
4112 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4113 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4114 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4115 [Steve Henson]
4116
4117 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4118 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4119 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4120 [Richard Levitte]
4121
4122 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4123 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4124 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4125 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4126 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4130 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4131 [Steve Henson]
4132
4133 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4134 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4135 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4136 certifcates and CRLs.
4137 [Steve Henson]
4138
4139 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4140 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4141 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4142 [Steve Henson]
4143
4144 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4145 entries for variables.
4146 [Steve Henson]
4147
4148 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4149 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4150 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4151 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4152 [Bodo Moeller]
4153
4154 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4155 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4156 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4157 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4158 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4159 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4160 [Bodo Moeller]
4161
4162 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4163 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4164
4165 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4166 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4167 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4168 [Steve Henson]
4169
4170 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4171 print routines.
4172 [Steve Henson]
4173
4174 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4175 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4176 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4177 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4178 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4179 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4180 [Steve Henson]
4181
4182 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4183 [Steve Henson]
4184
4185 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4186 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4187 for now but they will eventually go away.
4188 [Steve Henson]
4189
4190 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4191 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4192 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4193 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4194 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4195 has also been converted to the new form.
4196 [Steve Henson]
4197
4198 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4199 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4200 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4201 for negative moduli.
4202 [Bodo Moeller]
4203
4204 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4205 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4206 [Bodo Moeller]
4207
4208 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4209 set.
4210 [Bodo Moeller]
4211
4212 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4213 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4214 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4215 type-specific callbacks.
4216 [Geoff Thorpe]
4217
4218 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4219 RFC 2712.
4220 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4221 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4222
4223 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4224 in sections depending on the subject.
4225 [Richard Levitte]
4226
4227 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4228 Windows.
4229 [Richard Levitte]
4230
4231 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4232 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4233 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4234 be handled deterministically).
4235 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4236
4237 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4238 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4239 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4240 [Bodo Moeller]
4241
4242 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4243 [Bodo Moeller]
4244
4245 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4246 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4247 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4248 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4249 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4250 [Bodo Moeller]
4251
4252 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4253 sign of the number in question.
4254
4255 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4256
4257 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4258 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4259 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4260 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4261 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4262 [Bodo Moeller]
4263
4264 *) New function BN_swap.
4265 [Bodo Moeller]
4266
4267 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4268 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4269 results on negative inputs.
4270 [Bodo Moeller]
4271
4272 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4273 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4274 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4275 [Bodo Moeller]
4276
4277 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4278 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4279 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4280 and add new functions:
4281
4282 BN_nnmod
4283 BN_mod_sqr
4284 BN_mod_add
4285 BN_mod_add_quick
4286 BN_mod_sub
4287 BN_mod_sub_quick
4288 BN_mod_lshift1
4289 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4290 BN_mod_lshift
4291 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4292
4293 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4294
4295 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4296 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4297
4298 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4299 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4300 be reduced modulo m.
4301 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4302
4303 #if 0
4304 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4305 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4306 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4307
4308 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4309 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4310 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4311 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4312 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4313 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4314 differing sizes.
4315 [Richard Levitte]
4316 #endif
4317
4318 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4319 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4320 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4321 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4322 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4323
4324 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4325 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4326 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4327 cause any problems.
4328 [Bodo Moeller]
4329
4330 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4331 [Richard Levitte]
4332
4333 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4334 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4335 [Richard Levitte]
4336
4337 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4338 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4339 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4340 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4341 time)
4342 [Richard Levitte]
4343
4344 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4345 [Richard Levitte]
4346
4347 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4348 [Richard Levitte]
4349
4350 *) Add the following functions:
4351
4352 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4353 ENGINE_load_chil()
4354 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4355 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4356 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4357
4358 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4359 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4360 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4361 libraries unless it's really needed.
4362
4363 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4364 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4365 declarations (they differed!).
4366 [Richard Levitte]
4367
4368 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4369 [Richard Levitte]
4370
4371 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4372 [Richard Levitte]
4373
4374 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4375 [Bodo Moeller]
4376
4377 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4378 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4379 [Richard Levitte]
4380
4381 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4382 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4383 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4384
4385 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4386 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4387 [Richard Levitte]
4388
4389 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4390 [Richard Levitte]
4391
4392 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4393 [Richard Levitte]
4394
4395 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4396 [Ben Laurie]
4397
4398 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4399 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4400 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4401
4402 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4403 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4404 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4405 different shared library filenames on each system.
4406 [Geoff Thorpe]
4407
4408 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4409 [Richard Levitte]
4410
4411 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4412 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4413 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4414 of two sections.
4415 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4416
4417 *) NCONF changes.
4418 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4419 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4420 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4421 binary backward compatibility.
4422 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4423 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4424 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4425 LDAP server.
4426 [Richard Levitte]
4427
4428 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4429 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4430 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4431 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4432 this case.
4433 [Steve Henson]
4434
4435 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4436 [Ben Laurie]
4437
4438 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4439 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4440 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4441 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4442 set.
4443 [Steve Henson]
4444
4445 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4446 [Richard Levitte]
4447
4448 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4449
4450 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4451 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4452 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4453
4454 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4455
4456 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4457
4458 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4459 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4460 [Steve Henson]
4461
4462 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4463
4464 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4465
4466 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4467 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4468
4469 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4470 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4471
4472 [Steve Henson]
4473
4474 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4475 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4476 specifications.
4477 [Steve Henson]
4478
4479 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4480 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4481 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4482 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4483
4484 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4485 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4486 [Richard Levitte]
4487
4488 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4489
4490 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4491 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4492 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4493 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4494 [Bodo Moeller]
4495
4496 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4497 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4498 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4499 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4500 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4501
4502 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4503 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4504 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4505 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4506 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4507 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4508 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4509 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4510 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4511 [Bodo Moeller]
4512
4513 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4514
4515 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4516 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4517 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4518 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4519 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4520
4521 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4522 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4523 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4524
4525 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4526
4527 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4528 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4529 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4530 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4531 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4532 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4533 [Geoff Thorpe]
4534
4535 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4536 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4537 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4538 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4539 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4540 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4541
4542 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4543 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4544 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4545
4546 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4547 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4548 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4549 EVP_cleanup().
4550 [Richard Levitte]
4551
4552 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4553 being properly terminated.
4554 [Richard Levitte]
4555
4556 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4557 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4558 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4559 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4560
4561 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4562 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4563 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4564 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4565 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4566 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4567 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4568 change.
4569 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4570
4571 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4572 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4573 [Bodo Moeller]
4574
4575 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4576 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4577 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4578 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4579 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4580 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4581 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4582 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4583
4584 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4585 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4586 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4587 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4588 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4589
4590 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4591 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4592 [Steve Henson]
4593
4594 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4595
4596 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4597 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4598 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4599
4600 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4601
4602 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4603 and get fix the header length calculation.
4604 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4605 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4606 Steve Henson]
4607
4608 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4609 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4610 assertions could call abort()).
4611 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4612
4613 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4614
4615 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4616 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4617 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4618 supplied buffer.
4619 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4620
4621 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4622 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4623 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4624 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4625
4626 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4627 [Nils Larsch]
4628
4629 *) New option
4630 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4631 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4632 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4633
4634 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4635 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4636 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4637 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4638 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4639 applications.
4640 [Bodo Moeller]
4641
4642 *) Changes in security patch:
4643
4644 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4645 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4646 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4647 F30602-01-2-0537.
4648
4649 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4650 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4651 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4652 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4653 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4654
4655 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4656 happen in practice.
4657 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4658
4659 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4660 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4661 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4662
4663 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4664 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4665 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4666
4667 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4668 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4669 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4670
4671 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4672
4673 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4674 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4675 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4676
4677 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4678 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4679
4680 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4681 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4682 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4683 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4684 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4685 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4686 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4687
4688 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4689 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4690 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4691 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4692 [Bodo Moeller]
4693
4694 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4695 [Bodo Moeller]
4696
4697 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4698 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4699 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4700 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4701 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4702 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4703
4704 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4705 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4706 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4707 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4708 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4709 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4710
4711 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4712 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4713 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4714 BN_generate_prime().)
4715
4716 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4717 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4718 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4719 better.
4720 [Bodo Moeller]
4721
4722 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4723 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4724 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4725
4726 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4727 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4728 when using non-blocking I/O.
4729 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4730
4731 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4732 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4733
4734 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4735 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4736 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4737
4738 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4739 configuration for the versions before that.
4740 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4741
4742 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4743 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4744 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4745 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4746 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4747
4748 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4749 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4750 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4751 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4752
4753 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4754 value is 0.
4755 [Richard Levitte]
4756
4757 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4758 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4759 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4760
4761 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4762 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4763
4764 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4765 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4766 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4767 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4768 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4769 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4770 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4771 session cache.
4772
4773 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4774 using a local variable.
4775 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4776
4777 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4778 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4779 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4780
4781 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4782 [Richard Levitte]
4783
4784 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4785 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4786
4787 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4788 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4789 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4790
4791 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4792
4793 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4794 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4795 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4796 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4797 [Bodo Moeller]
4798
4799 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4800 present.
4801 [Steve Henson]
4802
4803 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4804 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4805 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4806 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4807 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4808
4809 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4810 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4811 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4812
4813 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4814 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4815 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4816
4817 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4818 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4819 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4820 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4821
4822 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4823 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4824 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4825 modules).
4826 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4827
4828 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4829 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4830 from 0.9.7.
4831 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4832
4833 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4834 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4835 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4836 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4837
4838 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4839 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4840 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4841 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4842
4843 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4844 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4845
4846 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4847 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4848 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4849 [Bodo Moeller]
4850
4851 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4852 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4853 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4854 become invalid.
4855 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4856
4857 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4858 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4859 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4860 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4861 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4862 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4863 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4864 [Bodo Moeller]
4865
4866 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4867 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4868 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4869 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4870
4871 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4872 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4873 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4874 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4875 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4876 the client will at least see that alert.
4877 [Bodo Moeller]
4878
4879 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4880 correctly.
4881 [Bodo Moeller]
4882
4883 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4884 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4885 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4886
4887 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4888 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4889 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4890 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4891 HelloRequest.
4892
4893 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4894 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4895 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4896
4897 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4898 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4899 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4900 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4901 may leak via logfiles.)
4902
4903 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4904 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4905 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4906 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4907 the legal range.
4908 [Bodo Moeller]
4909
4910 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4911 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4912 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4913
4914 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4915 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4916 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4917 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4918 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4919 [Bodo Moeller]
4920
4921 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4922 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4923
4924 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4925 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4926 followed by modular reduction.
4927 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4928
4929 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4930 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4931 [Bodo Moeller]
4932
4933 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4934 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4935 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4936 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4937 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4938
4939 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4940 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4941
4942 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4943 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4944 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4945
4946 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4947 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4948 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4949 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4950 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4951 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4952 automatically.
4953 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4954
4955 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4956 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4957 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4958 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4959 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4960
4961 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4962 [Andy Polyakov]
4963
4964 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4965 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4966 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4967 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4968 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4969 to allow the necessary settings.
4970 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4971
4972 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4973 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4974 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4975 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4976 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4977
4978 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4979 dh->length and always used
4980
4981 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4982
4983 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4984 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4985 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4986 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4987 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4988 dh->length.
4989
4990 So switch back to
4991
4992 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4993
4994 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4995 otherwise.
4996 [Bodo Moeller]
4997
4998 *) In
4999
5000 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5001 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5002 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5003 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5004
5005 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5006 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5007 always reject numbers >= n.
5008 [Bodo Moeller]
5009
5010 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5011 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5012 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5013 variable) is not atomic.
5014 [Bodo Moeller]
5015
5016 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5017 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5018 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5019 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5020
5021 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5022 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5023
5024 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5025 little-endian MIPS.
5026 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5027
5028 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5029 [Richard Levitte]
5030
5031 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5032
5033 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5034 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5035 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5036 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5037 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5038 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5039 to traverse all of 'state'.
5040
5041 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5042 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5043 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5044
5045 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5046 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5047
5048 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5049 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5050 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5051 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5052 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5053 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5054 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5055 further strengthens the PRNG.
5056 [Bodo Moeller]
5057
5058 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5059 [Andy Polyakov]
5060
5061 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5062 an error message in this case.
5063 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5064
5065 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5066 [Steve Henson]
5067
5068 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5069 positive and less than q.
5070 [Bodo Moeller]
5071
5072 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5073 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5074 that itself.
5075 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5076
5077 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5078 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5079 [Bodo Moeller]
5080
5081 *) Fix OAEP check.
5082 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5083
5084 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5085 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5086 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5087 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5088 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5089 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5090 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5091 paper.)
5092
5093 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5094 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5095 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5096 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5097
5098 Both problems are now fixed.
5099 [Bodo Moeller]
5100
5101 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5102 (previously it was 1024).
5103 [Bodo Moeller]
5104
5105 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5106 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5107 [Steve Henson]
5108
5109 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5110 [Steve Henson]
5111
5112 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5113 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5114 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5115 [Steve Henson]
5116
5117 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5118 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5119 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5120 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5121 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5122 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5123 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5124 environment variables.
5125
5126 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5127 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5128 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5129 [Bodo Moeller]
5130
5131 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5132 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5133 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5134 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5135 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5136 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5137 [Bodo Moeller]
5138
5139 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5140 versions of 'test'.
5141 [Bodo Moeller]
5142
5143 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5144
5145 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5146 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5147
5148 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5149 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5150 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5151 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5152 CygWin.
5153 [Richard Levitte]
5154
5155 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5156 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5157 amount of data available.
5158 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5159 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5160
5161 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5162 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5163 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5164 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5165 [Bodo Moeller]
5166
5167 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5168 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5169 and UnixWare.
5170 [Richard Levitte]
5171
5172 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5173 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5174 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5175 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5176 [Ulf Moeller]
5177
5178 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5179 [Andy Polyakov]
5180
5181 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5182 [Richard Levitte]
5183
5184 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5185 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5186 [Steve Henson]
5187 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5188
5189 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5190 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5191 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5192 (but broken) behaviour.
5193 [Steve Henson]
5194
5195 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5196 it when found.
5197 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5198
5199 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5200 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5201 [Bodo Moeller]
5202
5203 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5204 did not exist.
5205 [Bodo Moeller]
5206
5207 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5208 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5209
5210 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5211 [Richard Levitte]
5212
5213 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5214 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5215 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5216
5217 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5218 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5219 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5220 [Steve Henson]
5221
5222 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5223 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5224 [Ulf Moeller]
5225
5226 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5227 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5228
5229 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5230
5231 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5232
5233 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5234 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5235 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5236 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5237 [Bodo Moeller]
5238
5239 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5240 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5241
5242 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5243 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5244 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5245
5246 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5247 was empty.
5248 [Steve Henson]
5249 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5250
5251 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5252 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5253 but the code is actually correct.
5254 [Steve Henson]
5255
5256 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5257 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5258 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5259 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5260 and leaves the highest bit random.
5261 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5262
5263 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5264 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5265 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5266 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5267 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5268 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5269 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5270 [Bodo Moeller]
5271
5272 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5273 [Ulf Moeller]
5274
5275 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5276 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5277 [Steve Henson]
5278
5279 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5280 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5281 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5282 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5283 headers.
5284 [Richard Levitte]
5285
5286 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5287 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5288 and break the signature.
5289 [Steve Henson]
5290 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5291
5292 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5293 DH ciphersuites.
5294 [Steve Henson]
5295
5296 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5297 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5298 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5299 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5300 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5301 [Bodo Moeller]
5302
5303 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5304 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5305
5306 *) ./config script fixes.
5307 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5308
5309 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5310 [Bodo Moeller]
5311
5312 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5313 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5314 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5315 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5316 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5317
5318 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5319 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5320 [Bodo Moeller]
5321
5322 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5323 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5324 [Steve Henson]
5325
5326 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5327 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5328 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5329 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5330
5331 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5332 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5333
5334 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5335 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5336 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5337 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5338 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5339
5340 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5341 [Bodo Moeller]
5342
5343 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5344 [Ulf Möller]
5345
5346 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5347 [Ulf Möller]
5348
5349 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5350 [Bodo Moeller]
5351
5352 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5353 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5354 [Bodo Moeller]
5355
5356 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5357 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5358 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5359 result of the server certificate verification.)
5360 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5361
5362 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5363 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5364 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5365 [Bodo Moeller]
5366
5367 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5368 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5369 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5370 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5371 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5372 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5373 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5374 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5375 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5376 [Bodo Moeller]
5377
5378 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5379 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5380 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5381 happening the other way round.
5382 [Geoff Thorpe]
5383
5384 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5385 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5386 [Bodo Moeller]
5387
5388 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5389 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5390 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5391 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5392 [Richard Levitte]
5393
5394 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5395 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5396
5397 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5398
5399 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5400 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5401 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5402 that.
5403
5404 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5405
5406 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5407
5408 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5409 static ones.
5410 [Richard Levitte]
5411
5412 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5413
5414 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5415 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5416 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5417 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5418 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5419
5420 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5421 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5422 matter what.
5423 [Richard Levitte]
5424
5425 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5426 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5427
5428 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5429
5430 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5431 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5432 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5433 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5434 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5435 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5436 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5437 by the Finished messages.
5438 [Bodo Moeller]
5439
5440 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5441 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5442
5443 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5444 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5445 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5446 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5447 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5448 appropriately.
5449 [Steve Henson]
5450
5451 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5452 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5453 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5454 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5455 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5456 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5457 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5458 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5459 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5460 together.
5461 [Steve Henson]
5462
5463 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5464 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5465 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5466 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5467
5468 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5469 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5470 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5471 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5472 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5473 the answer.
5474
5475 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5476 been tested well enough.
5477 [Richard Levitte]
5478
5479 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5480 it can return incorrect results.
5481 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5482 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5483 [Bodo Moeller]
5484
5485 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5486 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5487 include zero length content when signing messages.
5488 [Steve Henson]
5489
5490 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5491 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5492 [Bodo Möller]
5493
5494 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5495 [Richard Levitte]
5496
5497 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5498 wrong sign.
5499 [Ulf Möller]
5500
5501 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5502 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5503 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5504 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5505 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5506 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5507 [Richard Levitte]
5508
5509 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5510 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5511
5512 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5513 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5514
5515 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5516 random number < q in the DSA library.
5517 [Ulf Möller]
5518
5519 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5520 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5521 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5522 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5523 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5524 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5525 just makes things more complicated.)
5526 [Bodo Moeller]
5527
5528 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5529 from EGD.
5530 [Ben Laurie]
5531
5532 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5533 work better on such systems.
5534 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5535
5536 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5537 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5538 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5539 [Steve Henson]
5540
5541 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5542 if there was more than one signature.
5543 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5544
5545 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5546 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5547 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5548 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5549 [Richard Levitte]
5550
5551 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5552 rather than always using the current time.
5553 [Steve Henson]
5554
5555 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5556 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5557 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5558 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5559 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5560 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5561
5562 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5563 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5564
5565 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5566
5567 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5568 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5569 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5570 the same hash value.
5571
5572 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5573 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5574 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5575 with X509_STORE internally.
5576
5577 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5578 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5579
5580 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5581 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5582 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5583 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5584 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5585 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5586 entirely (maybe later...).
5587
5588 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5589
5590 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5591 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5592 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5593 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5594 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5595 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5596 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5597 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5598
5599 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5600 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5601
5602 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5603 to customise the verify behaviour.
5604 [Steve Henson]
5605
5606 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5607 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5608 [Steve Henson]
5609
5610 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5611 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5612 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5613 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5614 request is improperly encoded.
5615 [Steve Henson]
5616
5617 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5618 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5619 BIO_write(b, ...).
5620
5621 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5622 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5623
5624 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5625 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5626 words set to zero.)
5627 [Bodo Moeller]
5628
5629 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5630 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5631 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5632 [Bodo Moeller]
5633
5634 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5635 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5636 BIO/fp routines also added.
5637 [Steve Henson]
5638
5639 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5640 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5641
5642 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5643 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5644 demos/state_machine.
5645 [Ben Laurie]
5646
5647 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5648 generation and verification.
5649 [Steve Henson]
5650
5651 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5652 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5653 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5654 encode and decode it manually.
5655 [Steve Henson]
5656
5657 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5658 compile under VC++.
5659 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5660
5661 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5662 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5663 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5664 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5665
5666 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5667 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5668 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5669 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5670 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5671 [Steve Henson]
5672
5673 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5674 [Richard Levitte]
5675
5676 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5677 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5678 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5679
5680 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5681 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5682 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5683 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5684 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5685 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5686 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5687 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5688
5689 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5690 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5691
5692 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5693
5694 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5695 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5696 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5697
5698 [Richard Levitte]
5699
5700 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5701 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5702 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5703 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5704 [Richard Levitte]
5705
5706 *) MD4 implemented.
5707 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5708
5709 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5710 [Richard Levitte]
5711
5712 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5713 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5714 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5715 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5716 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5717 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5718 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5719 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5720 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5721 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5722 short or long names are found.
5723 [Steve Henson]
5724
5725 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5726 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5727
5728 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5729 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5730 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5731 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5732
5733 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5734 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5735 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5736 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5737 [Bodo Moeller]
5738
5739 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5740 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5741 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5742 [Richard Levitte]
5743
5744 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5745 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5746 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5747 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5748 to allow the various flags to be set.
5749 [Steve Henson]
5750
5751 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5752 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5753 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5754 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5755 dates to be checked.
5756 [Steve Henson]
5757
5758 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5759 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5760 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5761 [Steve Henson]
5762
5763 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5764 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5765 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5766 [Steve Henson]
5767
5768 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5769 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5770 [Bodo Moeller]
5771
5772 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5773 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5774 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5775 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5776 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5777 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5778 [Richard Levitte]
5779
5780 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5781 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5782 Random Numbers.
5783 [Ulf Möller]
5784
5785 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5786 DSA key.
5787 [Steve Henson]
5788
5789 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5790 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5791 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5792 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5793 form signing output easier to verify.
5794 [Steve Henson]
5795
5796 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5797 [Steve Henson]
5798
5799 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5800 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5801 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5802 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5803 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5804 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5805 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5806 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5807 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5808 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5809 [Steve Henson]
5810
5811 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5812
5813 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5814 the syntax given in objects.README.
5815 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5816 obj_mac.h.
5817 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5818 obj_mac.h.
5819
5820 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5821 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5822 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5823 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5824 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5825 consistent name changes.
5826 [Richard Levitte]
5827
5828 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5829 [Bodo Moeller]
5830
5831 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5832 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5833 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5834 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5835 [Richard Levitte]
5836
5837 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5838 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5839 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5840 of safestack.h .
5841 [Steve Henson]
5842
5843 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5844 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5845 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5846 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5847 [Steve Henson]
5848
5849 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5850 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5851 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5852 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5853 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5854 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5855 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5856 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5857 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5858 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5859 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5860 [Steve Henson]
5861
5862 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5863 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5864 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5865 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5866 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5867 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5868 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5869 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5870 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5871 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5872 [Steve Henson]
5873
5874 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5875 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5876 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5877 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5878
5879 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5880 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5881 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5882 omit any duplicate addresses.
5883 [Steve Henson]
5884
5885 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5886 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5887 [Bodo Moeller]
5888
5889 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5890 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5891 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5892 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5893 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5894 [Bodo Moeller]
5895
5896 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5897 software:
5898 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5899 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5900 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5901 Free => OPENSSL_free
5902 [Richard Levitte]
5903
5904 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5905 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5906 [Bodo Moeller]
5907
5908 *) CygWin32 support.
5909 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5910
5911 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5912 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5913 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5914 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5915 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5916 approach.
5917 [Geoff Thorpe]
5918
5919 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5920 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5921 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5922 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5923 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5924 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5925 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5926 [Geoff Thorpe]
5927
5928 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5929 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5930 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5931 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5932 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5933 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5934 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5935 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5936 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5937 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5938 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5939 [Bodo Moeller]
5940
5941 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5942 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5943 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5944 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5945 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5946
5947 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5948 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5949 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5950 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5951 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5952
5953 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5954 ciphers.
5955
5956 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5957 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5958 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5959 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5960
5961 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5962
5963 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5964 of macros.
5965
5966 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5967 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5968 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5969 flags.
5970
5971 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5972 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5973 any installed hardware versions can.
5974 [Steve Henson]
5975
5976 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5977 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5978 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5979 number.
5980 [Bodo Moeller]
5981
5982 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5983 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5984 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5985 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5986 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5987
5988 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5989 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5990 [Steve Henson]
5991
5992 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5993 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5994 [Richard Levitte]
5995
5996 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5997 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5998 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5999 features.
6000 [Steve Henson]
6001
6002 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6003 [Ulf Möller]
6004
6005 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6006 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6007 but no ssl client purpose.
6008 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6009
6010 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6011 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6012 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6013 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6014 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6015 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6016 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6017 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6018 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6019 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6020 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6021 [Steve Henson]
6022
6023 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6024 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6025 be obtained from the error queue.
6026 [Bodo Moeller]
6027
6028 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6029 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6030 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6031 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6032 [Bodo Moeller]
6033
6034 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6035 [Ulf Möller]
6036
6037 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6038 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6039 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6040 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6041 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6042 [Geoff Thorpe]
6043
6044 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6045 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6046 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6047 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6048 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6049 [Geoff Thorpe]
6050
6051 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6052 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6053 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6054 may not be NULL.
6055 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6056
6057 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6058 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6059 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6060 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6061 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6062 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6063 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6064 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6065 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6066 or "the configuration storage API"...
6067
6068 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6069
6070 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6071 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6072
6073 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6074
6075 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6076
6077 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6078 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6079 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6080 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6081 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6082 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6083 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6084
6085 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6086 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6087 [Richard Levitte]
6088
6089 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6090 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6091 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6092 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6093 [Bodo Moeller]
6094
6095 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6096 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6097 them in a portable way.
6098 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6099
6100 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6101
6102 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6103
6104 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6105 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6106
6107 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6108 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6109 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6110 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6111
6112 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6113 was larger than the MD block size.
6114 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6115
6116 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6117 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6118 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6119 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6120 components.
6121 [Steve Henson]
6122
6123 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6124 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6125 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6126
6127 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6128 discouraged.
6129 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6130
6131 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6132 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6133 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6134 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6135 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6136 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6137
6138 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6139 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6140
6141 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6142 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6143 [Bodo Moeller]
6144
6145 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6146 [Bodo Moeller]
6147
6148 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6149 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6150 its own key.
6151 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6152 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6153 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6154 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6155 [Bodo Moeller]
6156
6157 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6158 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6159 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6160 does not suppress any output.
6161 [Richard Levitte]
6162
6163 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6164 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6165 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6166 with all the associated security issues.
6167
6168 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6169 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6170 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6171 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6172 use the value in the default purpose.
6173 [Steve Henson]
6174
6175 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6176 and fix a memory leak.
6177 [Steve Henson]
6178
6179 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6180 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6181 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6182 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6183 [Bodo Moeller]
6184
6185 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6186 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6187 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6188 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6189 [Bodo Moeller]
6190
6191 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6192 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6193 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6194 [Bodo Moeller]
6195
6196 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6197 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6198 [Bodo Moeller]
6199
6200 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6201 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6202 which was free.
6203 [Steve Henson]
6204
6205 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6206 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6207 [Bodo Moeller]
6208
6209 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6210 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6211 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6212 [Bodo Moeller]
6213
6214 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6215 number generation fails.
6216 [Bodo Moeller]
6217
6218 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6219 [Bodo Moeller]
6220
6221 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6222 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6223
6224 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6225 [Ulf Möller]
6226
6227 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6228 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6229
6230 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6231 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6232
6233 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6234
6235 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6236 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6237 [Steve Henson]
6238
6239 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6240 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6241
6242 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6243 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6244 [Ulf Möller]
6245
6246 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6247 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6248 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6249 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6250 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6251 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6252
6253 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6254 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6255 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6256 for example.
6257 [Steve Henson]
6258
6259 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6260 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6261 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6262 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6263 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6264 counter, some don't.)
6265 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6266 counters or duplicate objects.
6267 [Steve Henson]
6268
6269 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6270 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6271 [Steve Henson]
6272
6273 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6274 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6275 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6276
6277 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6278 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6279 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6280 or -rand.
6281 [Ulf Möller]
6282
6283 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6284 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6285 [Steve Henson]
6286
6287 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6288 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6289 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6290 cipher list.
6291 [Steve Henson]
6292
6293 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6294 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6295 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6296 [Steve Henson]
6297
6298 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6299 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6300 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6301 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6302 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6303 should work without changes.
6304 [Richard Levitte]
6305
6306 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6307 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6308 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6309 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6310 must be defined. E.g.,
6311 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6312 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6313 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6314 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6315
6316 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6317 record layer.
6318 [Bodo Moeller]
6319
6320 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6321 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6322 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6323 [Steve Henson]
6324
6325 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6326 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6327 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6328 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6329 [Steve Henson]
6330
6331 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6332 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6333 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6334 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6335 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6336 is prompted for as usual.
6337 [Steve Henson]
6338
6339 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6340 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6341 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6342 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6343
6344 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6345 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6346 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6347 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6348 [Steve Henson]
6349
6350 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6351 [Andy Polyakov]
6352
6353 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6354 of seed file.
6355 [Steve Henson]
6356
6357 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6358 [Bodo Moeller]
6359
6360 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6361 [Steve Henson]
6362
6363 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6364 bits.
6365 [Ulf Möller]
6366
6367 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6368 [Ulf Möller]
6369
6370 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6371 [Andy Polyakov]
6372
6373 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6374 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6375 [Ulf Möller]
6376
6377 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6378 options to produce them.
6379 [Steve Henson]
6380
6381 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6382 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6383 [Ulf Möller]
6384
6385 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6386 for p == 0.
6387 [Ulf Möller]
6388
6389 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6390 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6391 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6392 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6393 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6394 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6395 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6396 [Steve Henson]
6397
6398 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6399 [Steve Henson]
6400
6401 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6402 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6403 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6404 [Bodo Moeller]
6405
6406 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6407 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6408
6409 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6410 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6411 [Ulf Möller]
6412
6413 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6414 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6415 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6416 has already seen).
6417 [Bodo Moeller]
6418
6419 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6420 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6421
6422 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6423 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6424 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6425 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6426 generation becomes much faster.
6427
6428 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6429 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6430 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6431 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6432 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6433 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6434 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6435 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6436 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6437 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6438 [Bodo Moeller]
6439
6440 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6441 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6442 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6443 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6444 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6445 trial division stage.
6446 [Bodo Moeller]
6447
6448 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6449 as ASN1_TIME.
6450 [Steve Henson]
6451
6452 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6453 [Steve Henson]
6454
6455 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6456 [Ulf Möller]
6457
6458 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6459 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6460 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6461 the comments.
6462 [Ulf Möller]
6463
6464 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6465 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6466 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6467 [Bodo Moeller]
6468
6469 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6470 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6471 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6472 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6473
6474 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6475 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6476 [Steve Henson]
6477
6478 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6479 [Ulf Möller]
6480
6481 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6482 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6483 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6484 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6485 [Ulf Möller]
6486
6487 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6488 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6489 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6490 [Ulf Möller]
6491
6492 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6493 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6494 (instead of parameters) in future.
6495 [Steve Henson]
6496
6497 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6498 when a new cipher list is set.
6499 [Steve Henson]
6500
6501 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6502 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6503 wrong.
6504
6505 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6506 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6507 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6508
6509 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6510 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6511 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6512 an error is flagged.
6513
6514 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6515 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6516 the readability was also increased :-)
6517 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6518
6519 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6520 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6521 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6522 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6523 as the root CA.
6524 [Steve Henson]
6525
6526 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6527 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6528 [Steve Henson]
6529
6530 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6531 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6532 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6533 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6534 instead.
6535
6536 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6537 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6538 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6539 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6540 because they handle more complex structures.)
6541 [Steve Henson]
6542
6543 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6544 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6545 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6546 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6547
6548 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6549 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6550 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6551 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6552 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6553 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6554 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6555 [Ulf Möller]
6556
6557 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6558 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6559 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6560 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6561 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6562 [Bodo Moeller]
6563
6564 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6565 [Bodo Moeller]
6566
6567 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6568 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6569 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6570 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6571 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6572 to use this.
6573
6574 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6575 code.
6576 [Steve Henson]
6577
6578 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6579 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6580 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6581 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6582 [Steve Henson]
6583
6584 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6585 [Ulf Möller]
6586
6587 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6588 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6589 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6590 international characters are used.
6591
6592 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6593 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6594 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6595 in ASN1 order.
6596 [Steve Henson]
6597
6598 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6599 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6600 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6601 request.
6602
6603 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6604 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6605 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6606 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6607 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6608 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6609
6610 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6611 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6612 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6613 be handled by the string table functions.
6614
6615 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6616 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6617 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6618 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6619 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6620 types at all.
6621 [Steve Henson]
6622
6623 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6624 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6625 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6626 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6627 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6628
6629 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6630 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6631 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6632 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6633 [Bodo Moeller]
6634
6635 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6636 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6637 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6638 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6639 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6640 SHA1.
6641 [Andy Polyakov]
6642
6643 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6644 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6645 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6646 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6647 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6648 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6649 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6650 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6651
6652 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6653 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6654 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6655 [Steve Henson]
6656
6657 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6658 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6659 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6660 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6661 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6662 support to pkcs8 application.
6663 [Steve Henson]
6664
6665 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6666 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6667 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6668 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6669 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6670 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6671 [Bodo Moeller]
6672
6673 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6674 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6675 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6676 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6677 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6678 consistency.
6679 [Bodo Moeller]
6680
6681 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6682 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6683 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6684 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6685 example.
6686 [Steve Henson]
6687
6688 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6689 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6690 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6691 and any application specific purposes.
6692
6693 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6694 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6695 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6696 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6697 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6698 if the certificate is self signed.
6699 [Steve Henson]
6700
6701 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6702 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6703 [Steve Henson]
6704
6705 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6706 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6707 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6708 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6709 [Steve Henson]
6710
6711 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6712 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6713 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6714 Update documentation.
6715 [Steve Henson]
6716
6717 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6718 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6719 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6720 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6721 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6722 [Steve Henson]
6723
6724 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6725 for details.
6726 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6727
6728 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6729 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6730 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6731 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6732 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6733 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6734 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6735 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6736 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6737 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6738
6739 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6740
6741 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6742 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6743 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6744 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6745 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6746
6747 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6748 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6749 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6750 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6751 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6752 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6753 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6754 request additional information:
6755 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6756 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6757
6758 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6759 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6760 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6761 options.
6762
6763 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6764 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6765
6766 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6767 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6768 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6769
6770 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6771 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6772
6773 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6774 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6775 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6776 algorithm.
6777 [Steve Henson]
6778
6779 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6780 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6781 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6782
6783 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6784 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6785 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6786 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6787 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6788 included in OpenSSL.
6789 [Steve Henson]
6790
6791 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6792 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6793 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6794 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6795 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6796 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6797 [Bodo Moeller]
6798
6799 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6800 PKCS12 structure.
6801 [Steve Henson]
6802
6803 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6804 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6805 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6806 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6807 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6808 structure.
6809 [Steve Henson]
6810
6811 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6812 need initialising.
6813 [Steve Henson]
6814
6815 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6816 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6817 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6818 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6819 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6820 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6821 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6822 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6823 be maintained manually.
6824
6825 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6826 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6827 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6828 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6829 work because people forget to call this function]
6830 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6831 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6832 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6833 [Steve Henson]
6834
6835 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6836 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6837 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6838 should be discouraged from doing it.
6839 [Ben Laurie]
6840
6841 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6842 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6843 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6844 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6845 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6846 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6847 [Steve Henson]
6848
6849 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6850 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6851 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6852
6853 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6854 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6855 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6856
6857 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6858 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6859 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6860 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6861 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6862 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6863
6864 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6865 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6866 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6867
6868 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6869 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6870 and vice versa.
6871
6872 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6873 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6874 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6875 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6876 [Steve Henson]
6877
6878 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6879 [Steve Henson]
6880
6881 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6882 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6883 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6884 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6885 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6886 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6887 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6888 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6889 keys so we should be OK.
6890
6891 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6892 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6893 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6894 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6895 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6896 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6897 stay in the name of compatibility.
6898
6899 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6900 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6901 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6902
6903 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6904 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6905 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6906 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6907 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6908 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6909 supplied key).
6910 [Steve Henson]
6911
6912 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6913 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6914 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6915 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6916 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6917 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6918 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6919 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6920 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6921 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6922 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6923 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6924 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6925 [Steve Henson]
6926
6927 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6928 [Steve Henson]
6929
6930 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6931 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6932 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6933 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6934 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6935 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6936 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6937 openssl verify ss.pem
6938 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6939 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6940 is OK.
6941 [Steve Henson]
6942
6943 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6944 (and add it to external session representation).
6945 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6946 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6947 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6948 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6949 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6950 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6951 security holes.
6952 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6953
6954 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6955 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6956 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6957 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6958
6959 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6960 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6961 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6962 [Steve Henson]
6963
6964 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6965 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6966 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6967 code.
6968 [Steve Henson]
6969
6970 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6971 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6972 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6973
6974 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6975 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6976 certificate auxiliary information.
6977 [Steve Henson]
6978
6979 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6980 the 'enc' command.
6981 [Steve Henson]
6982
6983 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6984 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6985 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6986 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6987 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6988 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6989 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6990 [Richard Levitte]
6991
6992 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6993 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6994 [Steve Henson]
6995
6996 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6997 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6998 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6999 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7000 [Steve Henson]
7001
7002 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7003 [Steve Henson]
7004
7005 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7006 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7007 [Steve Henson]
7008
7009 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7010 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7011 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7012 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7013 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7014 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7015 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7016 using the new 'x509' options.
7017
7018 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7019 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7020 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7021 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7022 for all purposes.
7023 [Steve Henson]
7024
7025 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7026 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7027 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7028 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7029 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7030 [Mark Cox]
7031
7032 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7033 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7034 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7035 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7036 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7037 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7038 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7039 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7040 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7041 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7042 [Steve Henson]
7043
7044 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7045 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7046 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7047 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7048 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7049 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7050 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7051 [Steve Henson]
7052
7053 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7054 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7055 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7056 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7057 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7058 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7059 openssl.cnf for more info.
7060 [Steve Henson]
7061
7062 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7063 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7064 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7065 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7066 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7067 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7068 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7069 md should be large enough anyway.
7070 [Bodo Moeller]
7071
7072 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7073 for handling the random seed file.
7074
7075 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7076 ca,
7077 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7078 s_client,
7079 s_server,
7080 x509 (when signing).
7081 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7082 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7083 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7084
7085 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7086 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7087 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7088 that support '-rand'.
7089 [Bodo Moeller]
7090
7091 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7092 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7093 [Bodo Moeller]
7094
7095 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7096 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7097 [Bill Perry]
7098
7099 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7100 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7101 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7102 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7103 is suitable.
7104 [Steve Henson]
7105
7106 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7107 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7108 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7109 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7110 [Steve Henson]
7111
7112 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7113 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7114 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7115 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7116 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7117 print out all the purposes.
7118 [Steve Henson]
7119
7120 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7121 functions.
7122 [Steve Henson]
7123
7124 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7125 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7126 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7127 single function call.
7128 [Steve Henson]
7129
7130 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7131 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7132 [Andy Polyakov]
7133
7134 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7135 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7136 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7137 [Steve Henson]
7138
7139 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7140 when producing the local key id.
7141 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7142
7143 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7144 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7145 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7146 "server.pem".
7147 [Steve Henson]
7148
7149 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7150 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7151 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7152 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7153 [Steve Henson]
7154
7155 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7156 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7157 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7158 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7159
7160 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7161 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7162 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7163 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7164
7165 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7166 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7167 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7168 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7169 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7170 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7171 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7172 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7173 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7174 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7175 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7176 trivial: move one line.
7177 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7178
7179 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7180 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7181 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7182 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7183 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7184 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7185 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7186 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7187 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7188 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7189 with an event loop for example.
7190 [Steve Henson]
7191
7192 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7193 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7194 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7195 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7196 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7197 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7198 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7199 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7200 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7201 [Steve Henson]
7202
7203 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7204 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7205 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7206 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7207 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7208 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7209 [Steve Henson]
7210
7211 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7212 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7213 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7214 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7215
7216 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7217 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7218 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7219 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7220 key generation.
7221 [Steve Henson]
7222
7223 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7224 (still largely untested)
7225 [Bodo Moeller]
7226
7227 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7228 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7229 [Steve Henson]
7230
7231 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7232 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7233 [Steve Henson]
7234
7235 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7236 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7237 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7238 [Bodo Moeller]
7239
7240 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7241 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7242 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7243 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7244 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7245 [Steve Henson]
7246
7247 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7248 [Andy Polyakov]
7249
7250 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7251 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7252 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7253 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7254 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7255 in ca.
7256 [Steve Henson]
7257
7258 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7259 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7260 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7261 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7262 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7263 [Steve Henson]
7264
7265 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7266 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7267 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7268 are otherwise ignored at present.
7269 [Steve Henson]
7270
7271 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7272 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7273 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7274 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7275 copied until the next read.
7276 [Steve Henson]
7277
7278 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7279 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7280 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7281 [Steve Henson]
7282
7283 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7284 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7285 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7286 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7287 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7288 associated functions.
7289 [Steve Henson]
7290
7291 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7292 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7293 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7294 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7295 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7296 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7297 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7298 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7299 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7300 memory BIOs.
7301 [Steve Henson]
7302
7303 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7304 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7305 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7306 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7307 [Bodo Moeller]
7308
7309 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7310 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7311 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7312 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7313 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7314 functionality.
7315 [Steve Henson]
7316
7317 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7318 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7319 under Win32.
7320 [Steve Henson]
7321
7322 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7323 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7324 extensions to be obtained and added.
7325 [Steve Henson]
7326
7327 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7328 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7329 [Bodo Moeller]
7330
7331 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7332
7333 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7334 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7335
7336 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7337 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7338
7339 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7340 program.
7341 [Steve Henson]
7342
7343 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7344 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7345 DH parameters contain its length).
7346
7347 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7348 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7349 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7350 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7351 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7352 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7353 utter importance to use
7354 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7355 or
7356 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7357 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7358 attacks may become possible!
7359 [Bodo Moeller]
7360
7361 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7362 [Bodo Moeller]
7363
7364 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7365 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7366 [Steve Henson]
7367
7368 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7369 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7370 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7371 or long name.
7372 [Steve Henson]
7373
7374 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7375 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7376 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7377 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7378 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7379 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7380 private key operations.
7381 [Steve Henson]
7382
7383 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7384 [Andy Polyakov]
7385
7386 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7387 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7388 to
7389 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7390 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7391 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7392 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7393 the password callback is called.
7394 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7395
7396 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7397
7398 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7399 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7400 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7401 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7402 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7403 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7404 this will work.
7405
7406 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7407 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7408 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7409 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7410 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7411 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7412 [Bodo Moeller]
7413
7414 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7415 [Andy Polyakov]
7416
7417 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7418 delete an unused file.
7419 [Ulf Möller]
7420
7421 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7422 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7423 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7424 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7425 [Steve Henson]
7426
7427 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7428 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7429 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7430 of an error.
7431 [Bodo Moeller]
7432
7433 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7434 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7435 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7436
7437 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7438 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7439 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7440 comparison" warnings.
7441 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7442 [Steve Henson]
7443
7444 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7445 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7446 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7447 [Steve Henson]
7448
7449 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7450 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7451
7452 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7453 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7454
7455 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7456 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7457 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7458
7459 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7460 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7461 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7462 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7463 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7464 this bug.
7465 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7466
7467 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7468 The interface is as follows:
7469 Applications can use
7470 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7471 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7472 "off" is now the default.
7473 The library internally uses
7474 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7475 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7476 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7477
7478 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7479 even the default) are now avoided.
7480
7481 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7482 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7483 than just having a counter.
7484
7485 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7486
7487 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7488 extensions.
7489 [Bodo Moeller]
7490
7491 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7492 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7493 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7494 Initial "mode" flags are:
7495
7496 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7497 a single record has been written.
7498 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7499 retries use the same buffer location.
7500 (But all of the contents must be
7501 copied!)
7502 [Bodo Moeller]
7503
7504 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7505 worked.
7506
7507 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7508 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7509
7510 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7511 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7512 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7513 [Steve Henson]
7514
7515 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7516 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7517 test programs.
7518 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7519
7520 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7521 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7522 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7523 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7524 point to the end.
7525 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7526 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7527
7528 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7529 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7530 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7531 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7532 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7533 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7534 [Steve Henson]
7535
7536 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7537 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7538 necessary function names.
7539 [Steve Henson]
7540
7541 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7542 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7543 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7544 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7545 [Bodo Moeller]
7546
7547 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7548 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7549 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7550 [Steve Henson]
7551
7552 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7553 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7554 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7555 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7556 such programs?)
7557 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7558 need locks.
7559 [Bodo Moeller]
7560
7561 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7562 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7563 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7564 [Bodo Moeller]
7565
7566 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7567 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7568 appropriate.
7569 [Bodo Moeller]
7570
7571 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7572 for the encoded length.
7573 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7574
7575 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7576 [Steve Henson]
7577
7578 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7579 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7580 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7581 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7582 [Steve Henson]
7583
7584 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7585 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7586 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7587
7588 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7589 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7590 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7591 unusual formatting.
7592 [Steve Henson]
7593
7594 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7595 to use the new extension code.
7596 [Steve Henson]
7597
7598 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7599 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7600 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7601 constant.
7602 [Steve Henson]
7603
7604 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7605 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7606 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7607 [Bodo Moeller]
7608
7609 #if 0
7610 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7611 [Ben Laurie]
7612 #else
7613 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7614 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7615 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7616 #endif
7617
7618 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7619 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7620 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7621 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7622 [Ben Laurie]
7623
7624 *) DES library cleanups.
7625 [Ulf Möller]
7626
7627 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7628 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7629 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7630 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7631 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7632 of v2.0.
7633 [Steve Henson]
7634
7635 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7636 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7637 [Bodo Moeller]
7638
7639 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7640 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7641 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7642 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7643 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7644 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7645 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7646 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7647 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7648 [Steve Henson]
7649
7650 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7651 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7652 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7653 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7654 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7655 value doesn't matter.
7656 [Steve Henson]
7657
7658 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7659 support mutable.
7660 [Ben Laurie]
7661
7662 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7663 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7664 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7665 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7666
7667 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7668 [Ulf Möller]
7669
7670 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7671 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7672 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7673
7674 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7675 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7676
7677 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7678 [Ben Laurie]
7679
7680 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7681 [Ben Laurie]
7682
7683 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7684 [Ben Laurie]
7685
7686 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7687 [Bodo Moeller]
7688
7689
7690 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7691
7692 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7693
7694 *) Updated some demos.
7695 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7696
7697 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7698 [Wu Zhigang]
7699
7700 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7701 [Steve Henson]
7702
7703 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7704 [Steve Henson]
7705
7706 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7707 instead of using a fixed path.
7708 [Bodo Moeller]
7709
7710 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7711 [Andy Polyakov]
7712
7713 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7714 [Richard Levitte]
7715
7716
7717 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7718
7719 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7720 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7721 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7722
7723 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7724 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7725 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7726 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7727 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7728 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7729 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7730 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7731 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7732 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7733 [Steve Henson]
7734
7735 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7736 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7737 [Steve Henson]
7738
7739 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7740 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7741 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7742 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7743 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7744
7745 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7746 [Bodo Moeller]
7747
7748 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7749 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7750 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7751 [Steve Henson]
7752
7753 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7754 [Ben Laurie]
7755
7756 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7757 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7758 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7759 key elements as negative integers.
7760 [Steve Henson]
7761
7762 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7763 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7764
7765 *) VMS support.
7766 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7767
7768 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7769 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7770 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7771 [Steve Henson]
7772
7773 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7774 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7775 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7776 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7777 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7778 [Bodo Moeller]
7779
7780 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7781 [Ulf Möller]
7782
7783 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7784 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7785 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7786 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7787
7788 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7789 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7790 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7791
7792 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7793 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7794 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7795 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7796 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7797 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7798 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7799 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7800 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7801
7802 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7803 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7804 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7805 does not influence s as it used to.
7806
7807 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7808 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7809 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7810 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7811 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7812 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7813 [Bodo Moeller]
7814
7815 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7816 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7817 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7818 key type.
7819 [Steve Henson]
7820
7821 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7822 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7823 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7824 and 'x509').
7825 [Steve Henson]
7826
7827 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7828 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7829 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7830 extension option.
7831 [Steve Henson]
7832
7833 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7834 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7835 [Ben Laurie]
7836
7837 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7838 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7839
7840 *) Support Mingw32.
7841 [Ulf Möller]
7842
7843 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7844 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7845
7846 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7847 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7848
7849 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7850 [Ulf Möller]
7851
7852 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7853 [Anonymous]
7854
7855 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7856 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7857
7858 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7859 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7860 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7861 DER-encoded.)
7862 [Bodo Moeller]
7863
7864 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7865 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7866 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7867 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7868 now it really counts the depth.
7869 [Bodo Moeller]
7870
7871 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7872 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7873 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7874 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7875 didn't match the private key).
7876
7877 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7878 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7879 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7880 [Bodo Moeller]
7881
7882 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7883 [Ulf Möller]
7884
7885 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7886 David Harris.
7887 [Bodo Moeller]
7888
7889 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7890 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7891 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7892 [Bodo Moeller]
7893
7894 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7895 [Bodo Moeller]
7896
7897 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7898 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7899 such as /usr/local/bin.
7900 [Bodo Moeller]
7901
7902 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7903 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7904
7905 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7906 [Ulf Möller]
7907
7908 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7909 extension adding in x509 utility.
7910 [Steve Henson]
7911
7912 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7913 [Ulf Möller]
7914
7915 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7916 prototypes.
7917 [Steve Henson]
7918
7919 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7920 [Ulf Möller]
7921
7922 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7923 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7924 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7925 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7926 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7927 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7928 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7929 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7930 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7931 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7932 [Steve Henson]
7933
7934 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7935 [Bodo Moeller]
7936
7937 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7938 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7939 [Bodo Moeller]
7940
7941 *) Fix some race conditions.
7942 [Bodo Moeller]
7943
7944 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7945 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7946 [Steve Henson]
7947
7948 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7949 [Ulf Möller]
7950
7951 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7952 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7953 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7954 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7955
7956 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7957 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7958
7959 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7960 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7961 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7962
7963 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7964 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7965
7966 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7967 [Ulf Möller]
7968
7969 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7970 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7971
7972 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7973 [Ulf Möller]
7974
7975 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7976 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7977
7978 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7979 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7980 [Steve Henson]
7981
7982 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7983 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7984 [Ben Laurie]
7985
7986 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7987 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7988 [Steve Henson]
7989
7990 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7991 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7992 [Steve Henson]
7993
7994 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7995 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7996 [Steve Henson]
7997
7998 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7999 support typesafe stack.
8000 [Steve Henson]
8001
8002 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8003 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8004
8005 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8006 old X509V3 handling code.
8007 [Steve Henson]
8008
8009 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8010 [Ulf Möller]
8011
8012 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8013 [Bodo Moeller]
8014
8015 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8016 [Ben Laurie]
8017
8018 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8019 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8020
8021 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8022 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8023 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8024 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8025 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8026 [Ben Laurie]
8027
8028 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8029 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8030 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8031 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8032 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8033
8034 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8035 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8036 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8038
8039 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8040 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8041 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8042 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8043
8044 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8045 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8046 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8047 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8048 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8049 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8050 [Bodo Moeller]
8051
8052 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8053 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8054 [Bodo Moeller]
8055
8056 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8057 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8058 [Ulf Möller]
8059
8060 *) Tweaks to Configure
8061 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8062
8063 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8064 yet...
8065 [Steve Henson]
8066
8067 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8068 [Ulf Möller]
8069
8070 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8071 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8072 [Ulf Möller]
8073
8074 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8075 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8076 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8077 [Bodo Moeller]
8078
8079 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8080 [Bodo Moeller]
8081
8082 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8083 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8084 [Steve Henson]
8085
8086 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8087 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8088 to library startup routines.
8089 [Steve Henson]
8090
8091 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8092 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8093 codes along the way.
8094 [Steve Henson]
8095
8096 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8097 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8098 objects to objects.h
8099 [Steve Henson]
8100
8101 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8102 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8103 [Steve Henson]
8104
8105 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8106 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8107
8108 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8109 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8110 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8111
8112 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8113 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8114 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8115
8116 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8117 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8118 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8119
8120
8121 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8122
8123 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8124 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8125 [Ben Laurie]
8126
8127 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8128 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8129 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8130 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8131 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8132
8133 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8134 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8135 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8136 document.
8137 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8138
8139 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8140 Malloc, Free.
8141 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8142
8143 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8144 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8145
8146 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8147 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8148 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8149 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8150
8151 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8152 [Ben Laurie]
8153
8154 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8155 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8156 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8157 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8158 [Steve Henson]
8159
8160 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8161 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8162 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8163 [Steve Henson]
8164
8165 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8166 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8167 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8168 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8169 installed as `perl').
8170 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8171
8172 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8173 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8174
8175 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8176 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8177 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8178 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8179 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8180 [Steve Henson]
8181
8182 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8183 [Ben Laurie]
8184
8185 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8186 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8187 is horrible: I feel ill....
8188 [Steve Henson]
8189
8190 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8191 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8192 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8193 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8194 [Steve Henson]
8195
8196 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8197 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8198
8199 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8200 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8201 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8202 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8203
8204 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8205 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8206 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8207 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8208 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8209 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8210 openssl_bio.xs.
8211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8212
8213 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8214 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8215
8216 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8217 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8218
8219 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8220 [Ben Laurie]
8221
8222 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8223 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8224 in CRLs.
8225 [Steve Henson]
8226
8227 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8228 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8229 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8230 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8231 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8232 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8233 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8234 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8235 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8236 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8237 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8238
8239 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8240 [Ben Laurie]
8241
8242 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8243 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8244 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8245 for linking it into DSOs.
8246 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8247
8248 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8249 Fixed.
8250 [Ben Laurie]
8251
8252 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8253 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8254 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8255 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8256 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8257 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8258
8259 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8260 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8261 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8262 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8263 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8264 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8265 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8266
8267 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8268 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8269 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8270 encryption.
8271 [Ben Laurie]
8272
8273 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8274 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8275 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8276 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8277 [Steve Henson]
8278
8279 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8280 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8281 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8282 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8283 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8284 field as blank.
8285 [Steve Henson]
8286
8287 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8288 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8289 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8290 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8291 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8292
8293 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8294 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8295 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8296
8297 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8298 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8299
8300 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8301 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8302 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8303 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8304 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8305 [Steve Henson]
8306
8307 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8308 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8309 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8310 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8311 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8312 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8313 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8314 [Ben Laurie]
8315
8316 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8317 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8318 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8319 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8320 [Ben Laurie]
8321
8322 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8323 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8324
8325 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8326 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8327 [Steve Henson]
8328
8329 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8330 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8331 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8332 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8333 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8334 (e.g. s_server).
8335 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8336 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8337 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8338 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8339 no way to reconfigure them.
8340 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8341 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8342 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8343 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8344 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8345 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8346
8347 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8348 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8349 recognized by the users.
8350 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8351
8352 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8353 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8354 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8355 already masked variable.
8356 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8357
8358 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8359 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8360
8361 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8362 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8363 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8364 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8365
8366 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8367 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8368 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8369
8370 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8371 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8372 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8373 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8374 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8375 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8376 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8377 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8378 now, too.
8379 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8380
8381 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8382 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8383 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8384
8385 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8386 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8387 config file.
8388 [Steve Henson]
8389
8390 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8391 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8392
8393 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8394 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8395 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8396 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8397 [Ben Laurie]
8398
8399 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8400 [Steve Henson]
8401
8402 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8403 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8404
8405 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8406 [Ben Laurie]
8407
8408 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8409 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8410 [Steve Henson]
8411
8412 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8413 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8414 [Steve Henson]
8415
8416 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8417 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8418 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8419 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8420 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8421 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8422 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8423 Ben Laurie]
8424
8425 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8426 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8427
8428 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8429 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8430 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8431 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8432 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8433
8434 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8435 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8436 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8437 [Steve Henson]
8438
8439 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8440 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8441 an example.
8442 [Steve Henson]
8443
8444 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8445 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8446 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8447
8448 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8449 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8450 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8451 build instructions.
8452 [Steve Henson]
8453
8454 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8455 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8456 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8457 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8458 [Steve Henson]
8459
8460 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8461 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8462 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8463 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8464 [Ben Laurie]
8465
8466 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8467 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8468 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8469 so it wasn't spotted.
8470 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8471
8472 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8473 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8474 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8475 vectors if you have them.
8476 [Ben Laurie]
8477
8478 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8479 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8480 [Ben Laurie]
8481
8482 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8483 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8484 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8485 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8486 If you do a:
8487 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8488 it will update them.
8489 [Steve Henson]
8490
8491 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8492 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8493 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8494 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8495 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8496 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8497 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8499
8500 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8501 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8502 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8503 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8504 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8505 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8506 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8507 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8508 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8509 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8510
8511 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8512 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8513 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8514 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8515 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8516 [Steve Henson]
8517
8518 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8519 INTEGER code.
8520 [Steve Henson]
8521
8522 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8523 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8524
8525 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8526 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8527
8528 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8529 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8530 [Ben Laurie]
8531
8532 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8533 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8534
8535 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8536 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8537
8538 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8539 [Steve Henson]
8540
8541 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8542 few typos.
8543 [Steve Henson]
8544
8545 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8546 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8547 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8548 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8549
8550 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8551 [Steve Henson]
8552
8553 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8554 [Steve Henson]
8555
8556 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8557 [Steve Henson]
8558
8559 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8560 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8561 [Steve Henson]
8562
8563 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8564 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8565 CA extensions.
8566 [Steve Henson]
8567
8568 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8569 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8570 [Steve Henson]
8571
8572 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8573 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8574 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8575 [Steve Henson]
8576
8577 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8578 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8579 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8580 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8581 properly to be processed.
8582 [Steve Henson]
8583
8584 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8585 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8586 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8587 [Ben Laurie]
8588
8589 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8590 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8591
8592 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8593 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8594 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8595 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8596 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8597 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8598 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8599 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8600 or delete all the .err files.
8601 [Steve Henson]
8602
8603 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8604 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8605 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8606 to regenerate it if needed.
8607 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8608 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8609
8610 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8611 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8612
8613 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8614 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8615 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8616 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8617 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8618 [Steve Henson]
8619
8620 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8621 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8622
8623 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8624 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8625
8626 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8627 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8628 error, but didn't set one).
8629 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8630
8631 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8632 [Ben Laurie]
8633
8634 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8635 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8636 [Steve Henson]
8637
8638 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8639 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8640
8641 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8642 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8643 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8644 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8645 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8646 OID is not part of the table.
8647 [Steve Henson]
8648
8649 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8650 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8651 [Ben Laurie]
8652
8653 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8654 [Ben Laurie]
8655
8656 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8657 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8658 was "1234").
8659 [Steve Henson]
8660
8661 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8662 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8663
8664 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8665 NULL pointers.
8666 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8667
8668 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8669 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8670
8671 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8672 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8673
8674 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8675 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8676
8677 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8678 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8679 [Ben Laurie]
8680
8681 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8682 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8683 [Steve Henson]
8684
8685 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8686 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8687
8688 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8689 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8690
8691 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8692 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8693
8694 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8695 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8696
8697 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8698 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8699 unused in the certificate verification process.
8700 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8701
8702 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8703 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8704 [Steve Henson]
8705
8706 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8707 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8708 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8709
8710 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8711 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8712 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8713 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8714 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8715
8716 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8717 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8718 [Steve Henson]
8719
8720 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8721 [Steve Henson]
8722
8723 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8724 [Paul Sutton]
8725
8726 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8727 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8728
8729 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8730 [Ben Laurie]
8731
8732 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8733 [Ben Laurie]
8734
8735 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8736 [Ben Laurie]
8737
8738 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8739 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8740 other error libraries.
8741 [Steve Henson]
8742
8743 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8744 [Steve Henson]
8745
8746 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8747 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8748 be read in.
8749 [Steve Henson]
8750
8751 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8752 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8753 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8754 the new set of documenation files.
8755 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8756
8757 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8758 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8759 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8760 number of arguments.
8761 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8762
8763 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8764 [Ben Laurie]
8765
8766 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8767 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8768 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8769
8770 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8771 [Ben Laurie]
8772
8773 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8774 nextstep
8775 ncr-scde
8776 unixware-2.0
8777 unixware-2.0-pentium
8778 sco5-cc.
8779 [Ben Laurie]
8780
8781 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8782 before they are needed.
8783 [Ben Laurie]
8784
8785 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8786 [Ben Laurie]
8787
8788
8789 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8790
8791 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8792 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8793 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8794
8795 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8796 [Paul Sutton]
8797
8798 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8799 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8800 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8801
8802 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8803 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8804 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8805
8806 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8807 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8809
8810 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8811 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8812
8813 *) Updated the README file.
8814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8815
8816 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8817 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8818 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8819
8820 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8821 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8822 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8823
8824 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8825 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8826 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8827 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8828 o removed obsolete TODO file
8829 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8830 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8831
8832 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8833 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8834 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8835 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8836 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8837 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8838 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8839
8840 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8841 [Mark J. Cox]
8842
8843 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8844 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8845 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8846 summer 1998.
8847 [The OpenSSL Project]
8848
8849
8850 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]

8859 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8860 [Eric A. Young]
8861
8862 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8863 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8864 available).
8865 [Eric A. Young]
8866
8867 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8868 binary structures
8869 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8870
8871 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8872 [Eric A. Young]
8873
8874 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8875 [Eric A. Young]
8876
8877 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8878 [Eric A. Young]
8879
8880 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8881 [Eric A. Young]
8882
8883 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8884 [Eric A. Young]
8885
8886 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8887 [Eric A. Young]
8888
8889 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8890 [Eric A. Young]
8891
8892 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8893 [Eric A. Young]
8894
8895 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8896 [Eric A. Young]
8897
8898 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8899 [Eric A. Young]
8900
8901 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8902 [Eric A. Young]
8903
8904 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8905 [Eric A. Young]
8906
8907 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8908 [Eric A. Young]
8909
8910 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8911 [Eric A. Young]
8912
8913 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8914 [Eric A. Young]
8915
8916 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8917 [Eric A. Young]
8918
8919 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8920 [Eric A. Young]
8921
8922 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8923 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8924 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8925 [Eric A. Young]
8926
8927 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8928 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8929 [Eric A. Young]
8930
8931 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8932 [Eric A. Young]
8933
8934 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8935 [Eric A. Young]
8936
8937 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8938 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.

8943
8944 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8945 [Eric A. Young]
8946
8947 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8948 bytes sent in the client random.
8949 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
8950
